The waiter looked at my half-eaten plate and asked, "Still workin' on that?"

Working. Yes. I had never thought of dinner as labor, but now that he had framed it as a job, I would not be fired from it.

"I am still working," I said, with the resolve of a man defending a castle.

He meant: are you done, can I take the plate. I heard: are you strong enough to finish. These are different questions, and I answered the wrong one for eleven minutes.

I ate everything. The fries. The garnish. A decorative piece of kale that I now believe was never food.

He came back. "Wow. You really finished."

In my heart, I received this as knighthood. On my face, I said, "It was my honor."

I was so full I had to sit in my car and reflect on my whole life.

Here is what I decided out there. A man who clears the plate is telling the cook: I saw you. Nothing you made went to waste. That is a small, delicious way to love a stranger.

I clear every plate now. I am wider, and I am kinder. Both, America.

The situation is so much more desperate than you probably realize.

University professors are saying they're now unable to teach history because reading long books and passages is how a person learns history. Their students are simply incapable of reading more than a few pages.

Some classes don't assign any reading at all now, only lectures.

There is an assumption among the people managing this decline that reading is just a way of receiving information. It isn't. Proper reading is how we build the mental muscle to synthesize ideas and evaluate them.

If the catastrophic decline in reading and literacy is not addressed now, we risk losing everything. This is civilizational.

Western civilization cannot survive the death of reading because it was built by people with the kind of cognitive depth that a culture of deep reading brings:

Complex reasoning, extended internal dialogue, the capacity to hold opposing ideas in tension. Our systems and institutions are complex, and they require well ordered minds to maintain them.

Reading forms minds, and the West was built by the richest minds in history. We must continue to form new minds in this same model if we're going to keep it.

So, Trump only asked about the rule, the White House-affiliated lawyers offered to help the USMNT if needed, and the process went through all official channels?

That’s the big scandal that has people whining the U.S. should have to forfeit?

Europoor maxxing.

Thomas Paine publishes an open letter in the Pennsylvania Evening Post, under the name “Republicus,” which advocates for the name “United States of America” for the new nation now emerging.

This is the first time such a term has been used.
