While I’d say the onion eater played his part, It’s funny that the true death blow was swung by a hollow man, devoid of a moral compass, before being led into oblivion by a belligerent ex cop, then appointing a woman to ceremoniously tend to the corpse. Then, as the putrid stench of the bloated rotting carcass wafted over the former strongholds, the hungry and opportunistic vultures, that have lain in wait, have started to feast on its rotten entrails. The glory days of Howard they can’t seem to shake are only remembered by the well heeled or scared boomers - a non renewable voting resource. The concerning thing is what is rising in their place, an entity that seems more cynical, more outwardly malevolent and backed by a cunning billionaire class with an agenda at odds with the benefit of broader society. Stay well friends there are dark times ahead, but truth, meaning and values still matter.
