I stopped reading at the word “empire”. Someone who doesn’t understand the USA doesn’t have much to say to me about its future.
That being said, the single biggest threat to the USA is the insatiable appetite of government to seize more and more power and authority and to govern more and more minutiae. The means by which government holds power, by dividing us into groups and pitting groups against each other, is not a sustainable political model.
An interesting observation. You stopped reading at the first word of the article and then stated your opinion that the author does not understand America. Ok.
Pessimistic but interesting read. Somehow we have to get back to where more people are participating in the success of this country. The difference between increases in long term productivity and wage growth tells part of this story in this country.An interesting observation.

Do you? What part of a definition of empire did we miss? Just to throw this out there, in WW2 the Japanese attacked The Philippines, Wake, Guam, Midway, Alaska, and Hawaii. All were American possessions. I think Japan attacked more US possessions than British, yet we count Britain as an empire. So, what definition did we fail?I suppose it’s possible Hedges doesn’t know what an empire is.

Shouldn’t we treat this as the Marshall Plan 2.0? Where we have to get to is not a real question. The how will be the part we debate.
Bet he knows what HVAC is.I suppose it’s possible Hedges doesn’t know what an empire is.
The grip that Fox news and the Republican party have is staggering and bewildering.

LOL. You still on that? You do realize that the fans GM installed in its ventilators are the ones used to cool you ass in their cooled seats don’t you? Not quite HVAC technology, more like blowing air up your ass technology.
And yes I'm still on it. Want to make sure everyone realizes how stupid you are.LOL. You still on that?

I thought we were talking about 2020.
Just being born in America may not offer everyone the advantages,
compared to those born elsewhere, that it once did.
Also who you are and where you live are vitally important in determining what advantages being an American can offer.
Who you are depends on the God given talents you were born with, how you we're raised, education acquired, opportunities presented, ambition, and a host of things which make each of us special.
Where you live is important. Important because who you are and your specialties can thrive or go unrewarded
depending on where you choose to live.
Speaking of where to live, it is no longer required that those born in America has to remain living here.
Finally for some of us the glass may never be half full as they are never satisfied. By the same token others see the glass being half full no matter what happens to them.
I never said that. That fact is in the article. What isn't in the article is any support of your statement "As I read it, the UV shource is in the tube when the tube is inside the body." You also said "I got news for you. Internal UV light to reduce ventilator assisted infections is used now." That's not in the article. Got it??So you deny UV light reduces VAP's. Got it.
Next point.
Bravo.Sounded like Hedges stopped his meds. Also looked like someone substituted in capital letters at the beginning of each sentence . . .
What is missing in 2020? Talk whenever you want, if we agree America had an empire, when did it end?
We have troops stationed around the world. I doubt any nation has trips in half as many nations as the US does.
The implication of this point (often made around here) is that more people would agree with your views if they weren’t “gripped” by Fox News. That’s a pretty arrogant view of the world. It really means that “I am correct, and if you don’t agree with me you are gripped by some force, or you are racist, or you are misogynistic, or you hate the poor, or you are dumb, or you are otherwise deplorable.” I guess I’d ask that since you often disagree with me, who or what grips you?

Ah . . . I see. I linked the wrong article, not the first time that has happened, nor will it be the last. I had several articles up at the same time. There is one about UV light in ventilator tubes which are now being tested--and that was going on when Trump mentioned it.
These are essentially the type of people you are defending.
where did you get your law degree? Same place as those Bakersfield doctors got their med degrees?
When I went to law school, we didn't have computers, let alone the internet. There were two copy machines on the whole campus. We read books instead of computer screens and hand wrote notes. There were no safe places to hide from the Professor Kingsley humiliation. the old fashioned way.
Then I practiced for 50 years and things escalated.
The point is what you say here is amateur hour.
Cannot imagine. about ten years ago there was a neat old criminal lawyer in town that had made a name for himself representing the mob. he still used a typewriter for all of his pleadings.When I went to law school, we didn't have computers, let alone the internet.

You are clearly just making shit up now.Ah . . . I see. I linked the wrong article, not the first time that has happened, nor will it be the last. I had several articles up at the same time.

So as numerous people told you that what you posted didn't match with what you said, it didn't occur to you at that time to check what you posted? The possibility that you had made a mistake never crossed your mind? That says a lot about you. Glad you finally checked your nonsense after having to re-post it to you. Maybe have a clerk check your posts first.Ah . . . I see. I linked the wrong article, not the first time that has happened, nor will it be the last. I had several articles up at the same time.

Damn, how old are you Co?
If he had any shame left, it's long gone now.You are clearly just making shit up now.
