The amazing thing about this entire discussion is they are NOT even getting into the real issue which is the staggering power of Harvard and Yale which was where the Federalist Society started along with the University of Chicago. RIGHT NOW there are 4 Harvard and 4 Yale graduates on SCOTUS and the other one (Barrett) is a known FS member. When the last judge was selected the short list of 7 had 5 who were Harvard or Yale educated. Going back to the previous generation there were fewer Yale but more Harvard. You have to go back tot he 60s to start seeing more judges from a broader educational background. *Its as if America's other Law Schools simply don't matter. * FYI - I'm Australian but went to college in America. Other than my personnel relationship with America, Australia is about to start spending several hundred billion on American submarines. JUST LIKE many other nations WE CANNOT AFFORD America to be unreliable and right now 4 out 4 sections of your governmental system are malfunctioning. A simple summary goes like this: SCOTUS is out of control and is handing out POLITICAL direction rather than legal decisions. The House is riddled with maniacs from BOTH parties who are more interested in which stock to buy or sell. The Senate is full of selfish geriatrics from BOTH parties who simply wont retire. The White house is being fought over by a pair of Geriatrics both of who are unfit for an office of that can decide the use of nuclear weapons. In ANY OTHER country Trump be in prison for January 6th and in many countries he would have already been executed. Notably Saudi Arabia and YES we know about the $2 Billion Jared has. Before anyone tells an Australian or anyone else NOT interfere let me inform you about AMERICAN interference in Australia. 4 AMERICAN companies (consultancies) basically run our government. One or more of Deloitte Australia, Ernst & Young (EY), PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) and KPMG are involved in almost every government decision at both the Federal and State level. Even when we get a change in Government either Left to Right or Right to Left all that happens is that certain government officials swap places with their counterparts in the consultancies. We ACTUALLY CAUGHT PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) committing industrialised tax evasion and fraud. Despite the public outcry nobody has been charged and PwC has recently received NEW government contracts. These consultancies and our government bureaucracy include many graduates of Harvard and Yale.

@myleslong5584 Thanks. It comes from 3 things. 1) I actually do care about America. I had this amazing time over there going to college and it hurts watching America tear itself apart the way it is. 2) No matter what any Australian likes or not, America is our most important trade and security partner. That has its pluses and minuses. Either way we need America to be stable and reliable. 3) No matter what any other country thinks or wants America is still 25% of the worlds economy. The US Dollar ($USD) is still the worlds reserve currency and MOST international trade is done in $USD or the money exchange is backed by $USD. NOBODY not even the Russians, Iranians or North Koreans can afford that system to be come unstable. Right now there's around $100 Trillion in Foreign Exchange (FX) Swaps held by banks, companies and others around the world. There's a Bank of International Settlements (BIS) report on it that went largely unnoticed 2 years ago. It raised the concern that over 60% of those swaps were held by non-American non-bank entities. Its NOT odd for businesses who trade internationally to hold FX swaps but there's also a lot of people using them like Casino chips AND IF the currency backing the swaps suddenly jumps up or down in value it can shock the entire global trade system. Better still is the fact that a couple of American states are now the favorite hiding places for money. There's little said about it but Idaho is America's equivalent of Switzerland and has a very secretive banking system. Its also a favored place for Russian Oligarchs to hide their money. Putin's worth around $200 Billion through various stocks and entities. Where that money is, is anyone's guess, but there's probably some in Idaho. So I really do mean it when I say NOBODY can afford America to become unstable or unreliable. Not even Putin. And Harvard, Yale and U. Chicago ARE the problem, because of what their graduates do and how they network together.

@christophergreen6595 Have you seen or heard Mark Blyth's (Prof at Brown U.) explanation of the 3 versions of capitalism we have been through? Once you se/hear that you'll realise its NOT capitalism, but the version of capitalism we now have. We should have upgraded and re-booted after the 2008 GFC but instead did a patch job. FYI - I'm an engineer so that computer analogy Mark gives makes perfect sense to me.

@colewood3297 Absolutely spot on. I found it amazing when I first heard that Delaware has more registered companies than anywhere else in the world. I have heard the other great tax haven inside America is Texas. I don't know if you can equate Texas to anywhere else as Texas is almost unique on the planet. Its like having another country within your country. Also Texas logic is so weird. If Grade School children are being shot and massacred the police hold back but if college students protest they charge in swinging batons while hiding behind riot shields.
