The virus helped dump Trump. Another win for China. It's very hard to discount the idea that we have been experiencing chemical warfare all along.

Australia does NOT have to choose between the US and China. We were fine without China until a couple of decades ago. We can be fine without them again. Only people who haven't been around very long, or those with short memories, spread the myth they we 'need' China.

Dear Keith,

I appreciate your concerns. Our “appointment” with Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and their administration needs to be a mutual one, or it will be a “disappointment”. No president can by himself/herself make the changes that need to happen.

We as citizens need to learn about the policy choices, and effectively organize together to make sure good policies are crafted and implemented. That’s why I urge people to join policy working groups like ours (the Waterlow Policy Workshop, email adamfrost@computerCareandLearning.com to join), and learn about the key issues and develop common-sense policies for our suffering country in this suffering world. Thanks for reminding us how much work we have ahead of us. I think we can do a good job.

Adam frost,

Have you thought about instituting a deTrumpification program - similar to the post-WW2 denazification program - to win back the hearts and souls of grassroots Americans?

In my opinion, developing and implementing sustainable, good policies is the best way to put the previous administration far behind us.

Adam Frost,

I was only joking.

Actually the denazification program in West Germany came to nought because they realised they needed all those ex-Nazis coming home from the war to operate the bureaucracies, transport systems, utilities, etc. So it was business as usual so to speak.

You'll find it will be the same in the US. All those redneck hillbillies who were willing to sacrifice themselves for Trump will just drift back into the milieu and before you can say "Trump's Insurrection" everything will be back to normal.

Nothing about Biden's frailty or his corruption?
He is so knackered I do not think he will see out the year before his Vice takes over.
However long it takes he will certainly milk it for all it is worth. What was it $80k a month from Ukraine and millions from China when he was only the second in charge. Actually bragged about getting rid of a Ukrainian anti corruption official who stood in the way of his bribe taking Son, amazing.
Buckle up for a long hard ride!

Not expecting much from Biden or the corporate Dems! Least of all, laws that prohibit voter suppression or gerrymanders!

Adam, good policies will include a new deal, cooperative capitalism and new energy. Like MSR thorium and industrial power that costs a little as 1 cent PKWH to make. If you allow regional co-ops to own and operate same, you deal corporate America out of the energy business.

if you do likewise with all the other utilities the cost of doing business and making stuff at home will be lower than doing it in China!

Other than that, the outlawing of middlemen, profit demanding paper shufflers, will halve the cost of doing business and the cost of living.

Tax reform that is an unavoidable flat tax of 15% that every boy and his dog pay above a generous threshold, will do two things, end creative accounting and lower the tax component of doing business, plus actually collect more revenue. And with the former tax compliance costs no longer in play, the effective adjusted tax rate would be 8%!

Tax lawyers etc will scream forever about the end of this parasitic gravy train being removed. But hey, nobody is owed a living or endless free lunches.

Halving the cost of doing business and or, living! Will be a greater stimulus for the economy than anything else you could do!

Would you post the references for these charges against Mr. Biden?
Would you also post any detailed information about his health?

Thanks very much,

Adam

Alan, these sound like good policies. Would you like to join our policy workshop and help teach us about them? AdamFrost@computerCareandLearning.com

Well done Adam taking note and interest of Alan's ideas.

Chris Lewis,

Where have you been?

I was getting worried you had joined up with Foul-Mouth and Foxy aka the Beijing Butterfly of the pro-China camp.
