While reading about an Executive Order permitting the recall of retired military personnel to active duty on Lawfare, I ran across this uncomfortable reminder:
Last month, as Presidents Bush and Obama did annually after 2001, President Trump renewed the national emergency.
I have to wonder if it’s occurred to any of the Executives that the continuance of the National Emergency may not be because of foreign aggression, but because of our own poor behaviors.
Although I suspect that, for demographers, the real reason is simply overpopulation.
