You should do a daily news briefing. You and a couple of colleagues, with a press pool (I’m sure AP would come and many others), to challenge the announcements of the day.

In his first terms, Trump turned his back on allies including the Kurds and the Afghans.
In his second term, it is now Ukraine, and by extension, Europe (though no doubt plenty of European capitals will continue to hope they will be treasured as exceptions, though perhaps less so the Danish).

To be entirely fair, it hasn’t really been working solely on the interests of the ‘rest of us’ for quite some time. Both parties created plenty of policies that were for corporate and billionaire interests, and often made profits themselves while doing so…

The third factor is fear or reluctance to engage in a self-defense option because of negative consequences.
This is a complex exercise because your identity and place in societal hierarchies makes a big difference what the legal, social, and physical ramifications you might face for self-defense.

Telegraph accepts:
- population of London is 9m not 7m
- it's not "1 in 12" but "between 1 in 13 & 1 in 20-something"

Someone should write an updated version of Atlas Shrugged where all the billionaires go to mars and thrive on their own. The finance bro class would eat it up and jump at the opportunity to be yeeted into space, never to return. It's a win-win.

I’m not sure I’d go that far. Choosing your moderator is not something that has occurred to me, in any sense before.
