It's always "weird" in the first days of U.S. political transition. The votes already secured Victory. So most of us breathe. Take stock of what has happened and what next?!
A nation has so many moving parts. So while there's sales pitch to get global investment, there's also restoring general engine. Experts do these things daily, no matter the administration in charge. And some stuff is ongoing bigger picture. So, for example, we hear about ideas and plans for AI systems, and that's really talking about the bigger picture of Homeland Security. But we can't outlay those kinds of details and strategy for safety.
All through the 1970's the nation, all of us, were up against worldly terrorism. These (terrorist people) were able to exploit the West's strengths as well as our weaknesses. We found "prosperity" in travel and tourism. They took advantage. At every turn, they layered manpower with drug trafficking operatives. They caused International incident by taking hostages and commandeering communications. They forced journalism to focus on them and become obsessed with them.
The Republic, Our Republic was in mano y mano with combatives whether we were school children or grown ups. And the challenges grew over the decades with population and with us becoming more business-oriented the world over. I remember the days when TWA went out of its way to give "flying wings" to every passenger onboard because we were all risking our lives!
On the ground these days we are making progress. Almost a year ago I pulled into Knoxville, TN and on that first night there was a glob of riff raff occupying in front of a public library. Most of the young people left. And then (it was so bizarre) two men with guns made a woman get in a trash bag. Talking whack-a-doodle like a Charles Manson type making the woman get out of the bag, back in the bag. They did sexual things over (masterbating and spraying sperm) the woman sitting in a trash bag. And people say things like, she is the trash, she chose that lifestyle. That happening on a city street is crime, not lifestyle. But as in times when Americans sworn to protect One Nation Under God and defend the streets--even if there's racism that prevents equal protection--cannot do their jobs, it is also terrorism right here.
Over the summer Knoxville carefully mitigated an out of control which people could bitch about, but not change as a nation.
Every time period and administration brings progress in some ways, and has terrible failings.
I haven't read it in a long time, but I did learn about the origins of the World Health Organization (WHO). Initially, it wasn't about nations' AID all tangled up together. It was about the world's doctors sharing facts and figures. Like, on this Continent, two peoples attacked each other; we've found thousands of similar war wounds. Oh, did you know that babies in this region can't take too much iron?! At first, there was not a lot of figures to share because of espionage and aiding and abetting enemies, but over time the medical communities fought to keep medicine as do no harm. Of course, advances in technology changing even medicine put different challenges on the medical field to stay it's own discipline.
