I'll share this to FBook, though 95% of the friends there are liberals who will, sadly, pay no more heed to this then they do most of the rest of the information I try to share there. Few want to risk rocking the boat - even if it is carrying them ever more swiftly to a perilous waterfall.

That's right Bill, the reign of Neoliberalism has had a couple of minor adjustments under Biden, but as some insightful commentators have pointed out, there is no one in federal or state agencies to actually carry out the Green New Deal, even if it had been accepted as policy, which it wasn't. I think James Galbraith's rather pessimistic analyses at Project Syndicate are pretty much on target. Thus Neoliberalism is still the dominant paradigm with maybe the global trading picture the most threatened in terms of China and Russia and at the margins, Iran.

Don't you think it's rather impolite at this time to point that out?
