The success of the U.S. men’s national soccer team in this year’s World Cup is the product in part of America’s historically welcoming immigration system. https://t.co/KdYiA6IuLS via @WSJopinion

USA. A Mexican restaurant. We had not yet ordered anything, and the food was already arriving.

Chips. Salsa. Unrequested. Free.

I stopped the waiter. "We have not earned these."

"They just come with the table, man."

They come with the TABLE. In my land, hospitality is a debt. Every gift creates an obligation, weighed carefully, returned in the proper season with interest of feeling. Here, the gift arrives before you have even proven you can pay for dinner.

This is not an appetizer. This is a declaration: we trust you. Eat.

I ate with the gravity the moment deserved. And then — I must report this calmly — the basket emptied, and a new one appeared.

"Did we…?"

"Refill," the waiter said. "It's bottomless."

Bottomless. They have wells of salsa. The supply lines of this nation are beyond anything my ancestors imagined.

My friend warned me. "Don't fill up on chips, dude."

Too late. I had accepted three baskets. Honor demanded each one be finished — an unfinished gift is an insult. By the time my actual food arrived, I was a ruined man.

I was not hungry. I was not comfortable. I had been defeated by a courtesy.

Generosity that arrives before the request cannot be repaid. It can only be survived.

I know the rule now. I have made my peace with the basket. One basket. Two at the most.

Who am I deceiving. There is no number of baskets I would refuse. The trust of a nation is in that salsa, and I intend to honor all of it.

everything is priced in. blockade of major trade routes? priced in. war with iran? priced in. AI taking your job? priced in. nuclear weapons? priced in. the market already decided the day the universe was created.

This is a man who doesn't believe in the U.S. Constitution. "Whether approved by Congress or not!" Also:
"I have an Article II,where I have the right to do whatever I want as President".
He's a wanna-be authoritarian and all his supporters offer in rebuke is "what about Biden!?".
