Morning in the Willamette Valley

[Michael McFaul @McFaul]

The "deal" with Iran turns out to have been a Memorandum of Misunderstanding.

American national security, the security of our partners in the Middle East, the global economy, and US inflation are now all worse off than before Trump launched his war.

And none of the original objectives of the war -- ending Iran's nuclear program forever, destroying Iran's missile production, stopping aid to terrorists, or democratic regime change -- have been accomplished.

Just a few weeks ago, Trump called the new leadership in Iran pragmatic and smart. Today he is calling them "scum."

What a mess.

America is running out of places to gather:

Bars and clubs per capita have fallen over 60% since the late 1970s, and since 2001 a fifth of movie theaters have shut their doors.

Over the past two decades, the country has lost roughly 2,000 golf courses and 7,000 bars and nightclubs.

Catching live music now costs a pretty penny: top-tour concert tickets averaged $134 last year, up +42% from 2019.

So Americans stay in. Nearly 80% see friends and family less than three times a week.

Read that again.

America has traded their community for their couch.

Americans aren't American because of tombs, graveyards, blood and soil.

Celebrating the ideals of the Declaration of Independence is hard if you don’t believe in them.

As cannabis use rises with few shared rules or routines, researchers are trying to understand what problematic usage is and whether new habits and cultural norms could help prevent it.

Here are some potential cognitive effects of high-potency cannabis: https://t.co/c7C2TFUk4H

A worker making $50,000 a year contributes to Social Security on 100% of their income.

A CEO making $20 million a year contributes to Social Security on less than 1% of their income.

Instead of raising the retirement age, we should scrap the Social Security tax cap.

Reflecting Pool story:

Under Obama, responsible people carefully studied the problem, sought best solutions - and failed.

Under Trump, irresponsible people imposed a hasty solution that enriched inept cronies - and failed even more spectacularly.

"This Sunday night’s UFC spectacle on the South Lawn...captures something about this moment in our history.

It's vulgar, violent, commercial, grandiose, tacky, and it dishonors a place once thought worthy of care and respect. In other words, it’s Donald Trump."
