28/ I’m particularly distressed and sensitive to this stuffbecause I’m *not* a “crisis” migrant. My parents live in India, I’m free to go back and forth, stay as connected as I want, have the best of both worlds.*I know what crisis-migrants lose because I still have it*
Could afford to. No longer true. I mean there’s now a crisis on the west coast due to China refusing to take in our recycling anymore. Doesn’t get more interdependent than that.

It's still optional. We could dump the trash in Nevada and not be bothered by it for another 100 years. We engage with the world because we usually win, not because we have to.

Well now we’re into the specifics of cost-benefit tradeoffs of isolationism vs interdependence. In that sense it’s always been optional for all sufficiently large countries. Only the cost of isolationism varies. It’s going up for everybody now.
