The Ends of the World as We Know Them

The Ends of the World as We Know Them:

A genuine reappraisal would require us to recognize that it will be far less expensive and far more effective to address the underlying problems of public health, population and environment that ultimately cause threats to us to emerge in poor countries. In the past, we have regarded foreign aid as either charity or as buying support; now, it's an act of self-interest to preserve our own economy and protect American lives.

The emergence of a fascist cult in the Ayn Rand Institute. "A cult for self-righteous, mediocre people with uncharitable instincts". Fun to think that there really could be worse choices than the current administration.
