We wish you a good night's rest, Heather! I've decided I'm giving copies of your book to most of the folks on my Christmas list. Getting them to read your book will be a great way to prod them into action in 2024!

I'm giving one sister the new one and the other sister How the South Won the Civil War so we'll have them both in the family and can share them around! Thank you Heather!

Linda, I sent two copies to my sisters in Texas as well! I don't know if they read the other stuff I send them. Both sisters are Republican BUT they have issues with Trump. BUT, they are bathed in the far right propaganda machine (which, honestly, is one of the greatest political successes in US History). So, they don't like Biden because, after all, "China owns him". The far right propaganda really works.

At any rate, Prof Richardson has been drumbeating good economic news since Biden took the helms. Below is some more amazingly positive evidence of her focus. To me, it is amazing. My whole adult life American corporations were outsourcing to China and then granting themselves gigantic bonuses on the back of paying nothing to the poor worker in China. Think Jack Welch (Harvard Business Review hero in the late 1980's).

It looks like, after all this time, even the Harvard Business Review might have learned that their fawning over Welch was, umm, exactly wrong. Or maybe not. One never knows about the blind when led by the blind. No disrespect to blind people intended. Just an old saying (which, might not be appropriate anymore, except for Welch and Harvard BR, its perfect).

Gigi, if they are a MAGA nuts, they are operating with their reptilian brain which hisses and snaps. We have both read the book and will offer it to our neighbor to borrow if he has not read it yet.
