Over 88 million US voters did not participate in the 2024 presidential election. Should they be blamed for Donny Trump being elected?

After all, as my dear father used to say, ‘One can’t make an omelet without breaking a few eggs.’ Though perhaps, in the case of international relations, one might suggest substituting a less… fragile ingredient. Until next time, my friends.

Black Friday (10/10)
And while a discounted toaster may bring a momentary flicker of joy, a well-mannered society is a treasure that will endure long after the last crumb has been toasted. To a civilized shopping season!.

Perhaps we might apply this principle to our shopping habits as well. After all, my friends, a true bargain is not measured solely in monetary savings, but also in the preservation of our dignity.

Black Friday (8/10)
I believe it was the philosopher Immanuel Kant who said, ‘Act in such a way that you treat humanity, whether in your own person or in the person of any other, never merely as a means to an end, but always at the same time as an end.’ Wise words, indeed.

A well-maintained line, after all, is a testament to our collective commitment to order. And while a 50% reduction on a toaster might be tempting, it hardly justifies a descent into barbaric behavior.

A dash of decorum, a sprinkling of civility. After all, is it not possible to engage in the pursuit of commerce without sacrificing our manners? Perhaps these frenzied shoppers might benefit from a brief refresher course in the art of the queue.

Is it not enough to queue patiently, to extend a polite ‘excuse me’ as one navigates the aisles? Must one transform into a ravenous beast, driven by the primal urge to acquire a discounted kitchen appliance? One wonders if a touch of restraint might be in order.

Yes, toasters! Those humble appliances, designed to impart a golden hue to slices of bread, become the objects of a most unseemly scramble.

Black Friday (3/10)
One sees images of vast throngs of shoppers, their faces contorted with a curious mix of determination and desperation, as they jostle and vie for possession of… toasters.

Black Friday (2/10)
Who among us hasn’t experienced the quiet satisfaction of procuring a quality item at a reduced price? But what I have observed in the reportage on this ‘Black Friday’ strikes me as, well, a bit overzealous.

I must confess, I find myself a bit bewildered by a peculiar phenomenon that has recently made its way across the Atlantic — a retail spectacle they call ‘Black Friday.’ Now, I am a firm believer in the virtues of a good bargain.

Perhaps, then, it is not a matter of changing the world, but of changing our approach to it. A dash of patience, a sprinkling of understanding, and a generous dollop of humor — these, I believe, are the ingredients for a more palatable world order.

And yet, one must not succumb to despair. Even in the face of the most daunting challenges, the human spirit — much like a stubbornly resilient houseplant — finds a way to persevere.

One longs for the days of agreeable disagreements, of civilized debate conducted over a pot of Darjeeling and a plate of butter cookies. A time when a firm handshake and a well-turned phrase could smooth over the roughest of diplomatic waters.

One recalls the wisdom of our grandmothers: ‘You catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.’ A sentiment, one fears, that has been somewhat lost in the current climate of global discourse.

Leaders with… shall we say, a penchant for the absolute — gentlemen who might benefit from a refresher course in the art of compromise — seem to be multiplying like, well, like rabbits in a particularly fertile vegetable garden.

One glances at the headlines, one peruses the news, and one is left with a sense, how shall I put it… of a world teetering precariously on the brink of, well, a most unfortunate predicament. Wars erupt with alarming frequency.
