Precisely. If the USA wants to be trusted at all it needs to act now or it will be too late. This is the precipice and without action from Congress & the Senate the rest of the world will make up their own mind about the country as a whole. This is probably one of the most expensive moments in history.


One of the most expensive moments in history so far


Fair, but since we can't look into the future that's an obvious thing. Every maximum is always a maximum 'so far'.


It's more of a Simpsons reference haha, sorry.

The Simpsons have passed me by. The same with the Teletubbies. I know they exist but I don't feel compelled to go and watch any of it. Life's too short.


Life's too short to punch down on what others like, too; but here we are.

Take care.


I'm not sure if I would like it or not, I just haven't been exposed beyond mentions such as yours and the occasional still, and I have a lot on my plate (not enough to forego HN though ;) ).
