There are times in history a government pursues policies contrary to their own interests, making foolish decisions, and then stumbling into war.

The analysis highlights a disconnect between political elites and the electorate, shedding light on underperforming candidates. Additionally, the growing discontent among blue-collar workers contrasts with urban elites' perspectives, illustrating the rising frustrations about everyday struggles, such as border security and inflation, influencing the political landscape.

A relatively small number of people from a particular demographic will decide who the next president will be.

To the extent that people read, is the extent to which the society is advancing. Reading increases our capacity for knowledge, creativity, inventiveness, and emotional intelligence. But reading is declining dramatically. Eight of the top 10 books sold on Amazon are children’s books.
