      True, many interesting serious points. But I also liked the humorous tones.

      And so the nonstop reality-television show that is the Trump White House has been inescapable in London, to a degree that is disproportionate even considering America’s undoubted global influence. China makes our toys, our clothes, and our anti-COVID personal protective equipment, but occupies a fraction of our mental bandwidth.

      Good food for thought & action here. I heard of people specifically following Chinese media for this reason, and knowing of corona a month earlier. In Europe, Chinese affairs are definitely less covered than US affairs.

      And with English increasingly becoming the world's common language, it's just bound to get worse. :(

      Loved it. Lots of interesting little nuggets, but the big picture is what matters: America is a circus.

      Great read! Entertaining and enlightening, especially the part about conversations about race in the UK taking on an "American accent."
