Brilliant as ever. I so wish you could get a more extensive and broad-based national platform. You have an agenda for the future that most Americans, if communicated well, would buy into. We must indeed heal the divide in the country. Then we can begin to reform and rebuild, using much of the roadmaps you have outlined in Simple But Not Easy. Thank you for that.
To this :”Improve education, particularly reading and math.”, I would add to foster education in the old arts of Greek Logical Thought & Arguments. No, really modern logic is more like a pin-ball game.
The basic research that lead to the Nobel in Medicine started with a rare kind of mice discovered during the Manhattan Project. That research went on for decades without a clear sense of its utility. Decades later biotech researchers discovery the human gene that was similar to the mutation in the mice. Then years of more work in the lab added knowledge connecting everything to a way to treat autoimmune diseases.
This proves the central argument of the economic Nobelists that basic research is necessary for innovation and economic growth. Supporting NIH and its academic partners —and small biotech firms —makes all Americans stronger and healthier.
This is perhaps the most profound thing I have seen you write/say. This message needs to be shared across all parts of society. This is the message that may finally cause the MAGA faithful to understand what is happening to our country so we can finally begin to fix it instead of driving the wedge deeper!
I agree with all of this and we need to come together in the center, and not push the boundaries of our government’s checks and balances to have a functioning democracy.
Similalry it has often been written that soldiers fight not for some great ideal, but for the commrade in arms next to them, then the squad, the platoon, etc.. their country. In this instance it is for family, neighborhood, town, state, country. All these entities carry special interests and meaning.
Thank you for this breakdown. Belonging is hardwired into humans. I like how you separated money from worth. ❤️

Good thoughts .

You say that Democrats should unapologetically grow gross domestic product. You're not advocating ever more trash in the landfill, right?
Thank you Jake. You're my kind of politician.
Sounds like you are an Independent?
He's a hard republican in the traditional sense. He should run as one.
Good luck prying the DNC off the Democratic Socialists. I wish I could be optimistic.

Thank you Jake. I was introduced to you through Steve Schmidt and I am so thankful. What a breath of fresh air and a heartfelt feeling of AMERICA.

How can I help?

I am always impressed with the clarity of your thinking and the values that you embrace.
