Hi ILD, I think some countries and folks may have a real problem with the US, but most are OK with the US. The peace is kept, press is amusing, TV shows are entertaining, burgers are addicting, things do go better with coca cola, attitude is straight forward, meritocracy rules most of the time, and dollar is convenient. Most important of all … that crazy Nasdaq has been great.
Over all, I think the US is just fine, though some of the quirky stuff can go to the way side: odd law suits against Dow Corning (no science), the OJ Simpson trial (he did it), the whining about drugs from the supply side (the problem is with demand side), the beating up of Microsoft (what is wrong with Bill), the nonsense about stolen nuclear secrets (there are no secrets), and the weirdness with not exporting encryption know-how (it is just math) and all the eavesdropping on phone calls (try translating Hakka dialect in real time).
The world will be a worse place without the US. |
