    Okay Mr. Reich, present to us, the rest of the world, with how America will restore its reputation post-Trump, and rid of the tree that flowered and produced the fruit of cruelty?

    • How will the “good people of America” deal with money in politics prioritizing financial needs over people’s needs?
    • How will the “good people of America” remedy the corrupt Supreme Court that has all but enabled lawlessness of the President and executive branch?
    • How will the “good people of America” deal with Congress that has completely absolved themselves of their Constitutional duties, and cede that power to corporate interests, the executive branch and partisanship?
    • How will the “good people of America” deal with corporations that have consolidated and made the country into an oligarchy controlled by billionaires and shadow private equity?
    • How will the “good people of America” re-assert the necessity of an independent news media?
    • How will the “good people of America” reverse the brainwashing of the right-wing machine (religion, radio, TV, social media influencers etc.) causing us to forget about how to care for each other?
    • How will the “good people of America” ensure that they are serious about international co-operation, and whatever pledges and promises made can’t be suicide bombed by the next geriatric narcissist?
    • How will the “good people of America” reverse the dismantling of education that got them in this position?

    While very difficult, it appears possible to address all of these non-violently, but we need more than strongly worded letters. The point is the world needs to see your quarter-millenial house-cleaning before we can even think about trusting you again.

        So? They always blabbered about why they need guns to protect themselves or to get rid of a tyrannical government.

        If Americans could read they would be very upset about this comment.

        School children died because of this.

      Thank you for giving voice to the annoyance that insipid headline roused in me. Such a very American thing to say
