Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says he understands the frustrations and worries of air traffic controllers who have to work without a paycheck during the government shutdown, but he and the union that represents controllers are also now emphasizing that calling out sick in protest could cost th
The most-important 2 books on understanding US politics, is Woodard’s “American Nations”, on the 11 nations inhabiting North America, & how they are stable, once instantiated,
& Thom Hartmann’s “Screwed”, on what real national-prosperity is ( I’ve only read the beginning of that, & it’s the 1st-time I’ve understood what’s wrong with normal “economics”, as presented by everybody else ).
IF one looks carefully, as Woodard did, one can see that the votes follow specific counties that are culturally-aligned, in these 11 nations.
It isn’t “all boomers”, rather, it is in the Tidewater region, votes went this-way, in the New York region, votes went that way, in Yankeedom, they went this other way, etc…
The book “The Big Sort” is on how polarization is self-creating the ultimate only-political-monocultures US of A.
That, of course, is going to make the US’s Civil War Part2 be … more territorial in its ideological-basis, … ( & that has implications, too ), but … it’s still down to regional-cultures defining/controlling the US’s fate.
Woodard’s book is sooo important, that I wouldn’t consider moving anywhere in North America without seeing which culture was ruling that county, now.
