I hand the microphone to Nick Kristof (one of my heroes):
More than three-quarters of Americans say the United States is headed in the wrong direction. . . . Instead of a City on a Hill, we feel like a nation in despair — maybe even a planet in despair.
Yet that’s not how I feel at all.
. . . I emerge from years on the front lines awed by material and moral progress, for we have the good fortune to be part of what is probably the greatest improvement in life expectancy, nutrition and health that has ever unfolded in one lifetime.
Worth reading in full.
Have a great weekend.
Oh, wait!

A sharp-eyed reader asked why I had sold my entire holding of 333,333 shares, as per this filing Wednesday.
I have not. These were shares bought direct from the company which the company is now in the process of registering with the S.E.C. so that they can be freely sold someday. I have no intention of selling them any time soon. Also, the form should have reflected the substantially larger number of shares I had previously bought on the open market. I’m not selling those, either.
As noted in the past, this is a speculation, to be undertaken only with money you can truly afford to lose!
