I have the NY Times app on my phone. Every time I pick up my phone, I see an alert that says “Breaking news…”
These days I am afraid to click on the link. With each new day, the “breaking news” is more horrifying than the day before.
The bad news is that this administration seems to be hellbent on utterly destroying everything that was good about the United States. In the process, they seem to be trying to also destroy the highly interconnected economy of the entire world.
The good news is that it doesn’t look as though they will succeed in destroying the world’s economy — this debacle is shaping up to be our very own version of Brexit. When this all shakes out, the other nations of the world will just work around us and continue trading with each other.
Alas, the phrase “breaking news” seems to be particularly apt these days. Unfortunately, it is our nation’s economy that is being broken.
