The US may struggle to recover from Joe Biden’s weakness
The US may struggle to recover from Joe Biden’s weaknessThe US is a country with an enormous capacity for renewal, yet its dynamism and confidence are fadingAs the last Nato planes lifted off from Kabul, the?lit up the sky with celebratory rockets and gunfire. The West’s retreat from Afghanistan has produced some surreal scenes; Taliban fighters, revelling in the high-tech equipment abandoned by US forces, pledged to turn Bagram Airbase into a terrorist training ground to defeat the West by jihad. America’s failure of nerve has handed the Taliban an entirely avoidable propaganda coup. They may be bloodthirsty zealots, but they understand the power of a striking image only too well. The Biden administration’s handling of this fiasco, by contrast, has been abysmal right to the end. It insisted that all US citizens would be evacuated by 31 August, but many have been left behind, along with thousands of Afghans who worked directly for them. Even the repatriation of the 13 US marines, slain in last week’s terror attack, attracted controversy. As the coffins were unloaded in Delaware for the ceremonial “dignified transfer”, Biden was caught on camera repeatedly checking his watch, prompting outrage and accusations of disrespect from the grief-stricken families. From every angle, Biden embodies America’s weakness. His public statements mirror the country’s fragile state – exhausted, incoherent, inward-looking and no longer in control of events. Decades of sacrifice have been squandered in a matter of weeks, yet it’s as if Biden and his fans don’t care – or refuse to admit the scale of the disaster. He seems to have little to offer beyond his advisers’ notes and comforting platitudes typed on autocue. Over the past decade, America has veered from one extreme to another; first Trump, the pugilistic loose cannon – now the crumpled and pathetically stage-managed figure of Biden. The nation seems not just rudderless but leader-less, a sickly patient with a dubious prognosis. Is it all over, then? Has Biden set in train a series of humiliations of the US overseas, while at home the country retreats into decadence and introspection? Only a fool would bet that an American resurgence is impossible. This is a nation that – like Britain – has always possessed an extraordinary capacity for reinvention. Just as Margaret Thatcher filled the vacancy of strong, charismatic leadership after the Winter of Discontent, Jimmy Carter’s weakness helped usher in the Reagan years. In a way, American regeneration mirrors the capitalist process of creative destruction itself – something new and ground-breaking can arise from the wreckage of the old. America remains richer than many of her peers, with higher median incomes than most European nations – something often overlooked in popular media narratives about “rust-belt” states. Not only do ordinary Americans hold a significant wealth edge over their European counterparts, they also enjoy lower taxes, at least for now. It remains an exceptionally innovative country, home to an unusually large proportion of entrepreneurs and world-beating firms. Its decentralised system creates additional competition between states. But there are also ominous signs that, this time, Biden’s America may struggle to bounce back from the brink. A new grievance culture threatens its totemic virtues – a pride in enterprise and hard work, a wholehearted celebration of self-made individuals. Cynical Brits may mock Americans’ earnestness and bombastic self-confidence, but it has contributed to their success. What future for a country plagued by self-doubt? The problem is institutional, too. In an interview with the Sunday Telegraph last week,?the writer Bari Weiss gave a pessimistic analysis of events.?America’s elite institutions, she claimed, were effectively lost to the identitarian mob and would need rebuilding from the bottom up. Joseph Schumpeter, the economist who devised the concept of creative destruction, predicted that intellectuals would be central to its demise. The prosperity and intellectual freedom common to many capitalist systems, he noted, would produce “an atmosphere of almost universal hostility to its own social order”, by creating a lofty academic class removed from and opposed to the free market. The identity politics championed by many members of elite institutions has spilled over into the riots and senseless violence of groups like BLM and Antifa. Mismanagement by hard-Left leaders has condemned cities like Portland to a state of constant civil unrest unlike anything seen in decades. Even the dynamism of the San Francisco Bay area – a place where you feel the future has already touched down – sits alongside massive social dysfunction and rampant homelessness. This bizarre state of affairs is vividly illustrated in California, where a recall election is taking place later this month to determine whether to remove Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom from office a year early. He faces a surprisingly tight battle, with the conservative radio host Larry Elder emerging as an unlikely front-runner for the Republicans. Democrats fear a low turnout could lose them power even in the ultra deep blue state of California. Yet in general, alternative leadership is lacking on all sides of politics. The Republicans have abandoned their traditional supply-side economics and any attempt to unify the country. In both cases, they remain in thrall to Trumpism. America’s capitalist system has assumed a new structure, too – rigged by ultra-easy monetary policy and widespread money printing. America’s economy may be booming for now, but it remains to be seen whether Biden’s trillions of stimulus will spark further growth – or merely cause surging inflation, a weakened dollar and a raft of indebted “zombie companies”, sustained only by government support. As Schumpeter warned, the expansion of regulation and the welfare state are not risk-free. Regulation that favours existing technology may hamper future innovation. Saving struggling firms from going under also risks impeding the process of creative destruction, the cycle that in the long-term yields greater productivity and real, self-generating prosperity. It is also too soon to say whether America’s identitarian shift is simply a passing fad, or a secular trend that will permanently transform the national character. Biden’s Afghan catastrophe has already dashed America’s international reputation. Whether American dynamism can survive his presidency is another matter. —

Seamus Heaney was a Harvard professor in 1985, ten years before he won the Nobel Prize for literature.? One of the three guys I shared a house with just off-campus is Irish, and he was tied into the native Irish community in Boston. ?Heaney came by a couple of times, and got into a tussle with another Irish professor in our living room during our St. Patrick’s Day party, where he and the other professor were supplying the music on some strange stringed instruments. ?Another (female) Irish professor broke up the melee by gently singing to them. ?
Also at that party was Louise Richardson, a grad student my housemate was dating.? My girlfriend and I were going to double-date with my housemate and Louise at a play in Boston about a psychotic nun, but my housemate stood her up, and the three of us went to the play without him.? Louise was deeply offended by he play and my housemate. She went on and got her MA and PhD at Harvard, and hung around long enough to become a professor, and later the Dean of Radcliffe, leaving in 2010 to become the Vice-Chancellor at St. Andrews, and is now the Vice-Chancellor at Oxford.? She’s been in the news lately over her conservative views, like her statement that students should exchange with those with views they might find objectionable, since ‘higher education is not meant to be a comfortable experience.’

1. ?Do you think employers should reduce the wages of people who choose to work from home on the grounds they no longer have to pay to commute?
There are government health restrictions to take into account by the employers when deciding whether their employees should work from home or the workplace. The transportation is irrelevant.
2. ?Do you think employers should increase the wages of people who choose to work from home on the grounds the employer can get rid of a bunch of overhead?
No, what is wrong with the employer making a profit??
3. ? Do you think face masks are effective in preventing contraction or transmission of COVID?
Yes, it reduces the risk of catching the illness.
4. ? Australia has mobilized armed forces to enforce the mask and stay at home requirements. ?Is the start of an Orwellian scenario?
No, the government has to take these measures to prevent the virus from spreading.
5. ?Who is the most well-known person you have ever conversed with - not necessarily when the person was famous?
It's between the Queen of England with Prince Phillip and Ted Kennedy and all the Prime Ministers of Canada in my lifetime, except for the last two.

? 1. ?What is the difference between being confident and being sure?
In practical use, people who feel confident are most of the time wrong, they only feel confident because they are ignorant of all the known variables. And people who feel sure, they are usually informed enough to recognize the possibilities that they are wrong about, but also informed enough to know they have considered those possibilities and are likely to be correct.
2. Are you concerned about getting sick with the Delta virus?
Mildly. I am vaccinated, as is everyone in my immediate family, and we do all mask when around people we don’t know. On the other hand, nothing is 100%. My family depends on my salary, I can’t afford to get sick and miss work, so I feel a responsibility to make sure I can keep working.
And, I’m a mother, so I worry about everything in general anyway. I spend more time worrying about car accidents, than I do the Delta variant.
3. ? Do you think the existing vaccines are effective against the Delta virus? Yes, in most cases they are effective, unfortunately not as effective as against the original variants. 4. ? ?What do you feel was the greatest accomplishment of your life? Hand-down, birthing & raising children. 5. Who is your favorite contemporary author?
Stephen King. Although, since I started having children 20 years ago, I read far less than I use to. I feel that if I were reading more, I would have a different favorite author, then Stephen King, who became my favorite author in the late 80’s/early 90’s.? So for now, Stephen King is still my favorite author, but I expect 10-15 years from now when I have more free time to read, I will have a different favorite author.

1. ?What is the difference between being confident and being sure?
Confidence means feeling sure of yourself and your abilities — not in an arrogant way, but in a realistic, secure way. Being sure is having no doubt that one is right.
2. Are you concerned about getting sick with the Delta virus?
I take all the recommended precautions, but there's always a risk of catching the virus anyway.
3. ? Do you think the existing vaccines are effective against the Delta virus?

Re: [M-Positive} Second shot: check!
Congrats Anabel, and glad to see they were 8 weeks apart. New information coming out of Israel and the UK who were ahead of the pack in vaccinating suggests that if the 2 shots were given close together, like within 3 weeks, which is what Israel did, the efficacy begins to fade quite soon. If they were far apart, like 11 or 12 weeks as the UK did, the efficacy so far is not fading. Good news for us here in Canada where we followed the same strategy as the UK, doing only 1st shots when the vaccine was in short supply, adding the 2nd shot much later. My own were 11 weeks apart. In the USA, they did them much closer together and may suffer from a drop off in effectiveness. Here too, in the face of the Delta variant, they have begun to rush them, requiring only 2 weeks between. It's looking like that's a bad idea. 3rd boosters may be required everywhere that strategy was followed.
