In terms of metric, we are in agreement.

As far as Venezuela goes, do you really think it's a good thing for a country to unilaterally decide to bomb another country and cause regime change? I strongly dislike the Chavez/Maduro regime, but I dislike unilaterally invading another country even more.

It's really hard to see a difference between what Trump just did and what Putin did in Ukraine (except the USA is much more competent).

But seriously, do you think it's good for a country to unilaterally decide to kidnap the president of another country?

There is no accepted legal principle that would allow the US to prosecute the head of a foreign country for acts in that country.

Under US law, he will be treated as any other person (unless somehow he can claim diplomatic immunity or something).

The really wild thing was the extradition, which wasn't done by treaty, and in violation of the UN charter.

At this point I’d love to have a Harvard educated Civics professor explain exactly what the US Department of Education actually does. To the US Department of Education.

Gives out money for special ed, sets standards, and makes sure schools aren't discriminating against black kids (you don't think they would actually do that, do you?)

Noting that it is good to hear that individual happiness and well being are not correlated to how much money you have.

That's not what the study said. The study said that happiness is not correlated to inequality. Inequality is different than how much money you have.

If you're going to criticize a study, at least think first.
