This feels like an amusement from yesteryear: Snowflakes melting on campus.

Consider four forces at work on middle class adolescents—

• Snarking social media

• Covid social isolation

• Entrenched political correctness

• Copter parents

Online education will further reduce their practical experience of socializing and resolving conflict… Many think the 4-year playpen of undergrad life is over anyway.

In about five years, we're going to see an enormous number of adults entering the workplace without a clue how to serve the needs of others while pursuing their own interests, and it will happen just as foreign students will be both impeded and uninterested in coming here to do their best work.

A new perspective on China. (It's hard to resist an econ review of the Far East called "MacroPolo.")

Fellow olds will remember our 1980 worries about Japan…

How can America ever respond to Sony's electronics juggernaut???

I'll cheerfully buy you a one-way ticket, if you promise to renounce your US citizenship and become an immigrant to Ireland.

Irish-American actor Kate Mulgrew has revealed how she might move to Ireland if Donald Trump wins a second term in the White House.

Mulgrew said she believes the US president fails to appreciate the seriousness of the Covid-19 pandemic which has claimed almost 100,000 in America.

If Trump gets re-elected, I will live in Europe.

If Trump gets re-elected I will watch my carb intake and be kind to animals.

Not the ones trying to kill me, of course. They can just forget it.

Oh, Bee.

That's why we're announcing today that we will simply be republishing everything Joe Biden says word for word rather than spending a lot of time and effort writing satire.

We at The Babylon Bee realized we were spending all this time trying to satirize Joe Biden when, frankly, he just can't be satirized. He's doing all the hard work for us with statements like "You ain't black!" and, of gun violence, that "150 million people have been killed since 2007."

"If Trump gets re-elected, I will live in Europe."

Will you be staying with all the Hollywood celebrities who made this claim, first with "W" and now with DJT?

I bet you stay where you are, because you're just signalling what you think is virtue - even though you had a previous President at the center of criminal actions and that was totally OK.

That's the joke, Rad. IIRC NicoleK already lives in Europe, Switzerland, I believe.

Ah. And such a fine one for me to miss!

Dangit. Thanks.
