AOC: "Think that Prime Minister carney's remarks that the World Economic Forum were, um, were words that run around the world in raising this question. But I think that also, in his remarks, as long and as well as part of this larger conversation, there was this undertone, this undercurrent, this suggestion that it was a rules, based order sometimes. And I think that that is the, the issue that lies before us is that in a in a so called rules, based order, the rules for whom, because for all too long, the rules only applied to the United States, europe, its allies, and we would carve out exceptions for the global South. And I think that when you have a rules, based order where you carve out exceptions to our values, exceptions to our rules, eventually the exceptions become the rules. And I think that, to your original point, over the last five years, we've seen such a breaking and such a fraying of these alleged Western values that people wonder if it ever existed in the first place. So I don't know if it's necessarily that we were in a post, if we are in a post, rules based order, I think it's possible that we were in a pre rules based order, and we have an opportunity to explore what a world would look like if we upheld democracy. Human rights, trade that actually centers working class people, instead of accruing overwhelmingly the benefits of trade to the wealthiest Um. But if we reoriented a new era that could actually help people and show how foreign policy and healthy foreign policy can show up and help them in their lives."
@mattyglesias It’s sad that the current Admin is hell bent for tariffs and the subsequent inflation that is right around the bend. As been reported, many industries stocked up before tariff impact, and those stocks are nearly depleted. Price pain rises with the new year’s sun.
@SlingbladeWilly Yes it will. I was just going to turn it on its side and bury again but it was a pretty rock. I have more rocks than soil so when I'm making a new garden bed I end up with a pile of rocks.
@_MatthewDillon Nice! Colder here on saddleback lake with a 26° low this morning. I'm left with these leeks, some scallions, sad looking lettuce, and Jerusalem artichoke that finally bloomed just last week.
@AskBryan I meant to attach a pic, but didn't have one that I liked, here's one I just snapped of my garden. It's getting on in the season, but the still lots of life and lots to harvest. Happy birthday again..
With cold weather coming in soon, I may not get any beans. No biggie. My late start sure doesn't take away from the beauty and brilliance of the three sisters. #zone3#GardeningFun
