Impasse and stasis in the US is in Ireland’s economic interests

Impasse is an undervalued resource. This is a great time for not getting things done. In our always-on world, inactivity isn’t a value that’s believed in. We know of no usefulness except the doing of things.

Bigger issues lurk. The blue light in our smart phones when kept beside the bed is causing a pandemic of sleep deprivation.

As comedy, we bewail political impasse here. We need strong government and strident action it seems. This ignores a truth that most of our problems were contributed to by governments that were so strong, they could not be checked.
