The DOJ exists to enforce laws passed by congress and decisions made by courts. Pontificating on decisions It disagrees with and inciting public distrust of the courts is outside the scope of its duties and should lead to impeachment. Another reason we need a republican congress.

The Justice Department is appalled and determined to do everything it can to oppose the Roe decision. Oh good, another government agency that has their own agenda, just like the FBI and General Milley.

<Collapse of Complex Societies

by Joseph A. Tainter

4.18 · Rating details · 1,056 ratings · 131 reviews

Political disintegration is a persistent feature of world history. The Collapse of Complex Societies, though written by an archaeologist, will therefore strike a chord throughout the social sciences. Any explanation of societal collapse carries lessons not just for the study of ancient societies, but for the members of all such societies in both the present and future. Dr. Tainter describes nearly two dozen cases of collapse and reviews more than 2000 years of explanations. He then develops a new and far-reaching theory that accounts for collapse among diverse kinds of societies, evaluating his model and clarifying the processes of disintegration by detailed studies of the Roman, Mayan and Chacoan collapses>

Core reading since it was 1st published. Totally unemotional presentation. As far from Knute Rockne motivational pep talk as can be found. Classic Joe Friday, "Just the facts...". Yeah, I know ref. Dragnet TV series dates me.
