At the end of the day, you are paid in an amount that you have the skill to earn. If you want to increase your income an

It’s jaw-dropping, to the rest of the world. Why do Americans act like this? Life is returning to normal — or at least a kind of slow post-Covid normal — in much of the rest of the world. And it hasn’t been easy. Australia has beaten back Covid with a sense of determination and perseverance. It’s taken them many tries, not just one. It wasn’t easy in New Zealand, Vietnam, South Korea, or any of the other global leaders either, the places that fought Covid successfully.

It’s vivid proof that freedom has become free-dumb in America. It isn’t, say, the right to have healthcare, retirement, education, or childcare — but the right to act as harmfully and stupidly as you please, everyone and everything else be damned. It’s the right to, for example, spread a deadly disease, to not care if the vulnerable get infected, to act ignorant and selfish to the point where people die. That, my friends, I can call nothing else but malicious stupidity.

So those millions of American Idiots did what they were always going to. Not listen to a word. Do whatever they damned well pleased. Hey, that’s freedom, after all. Don’t tread on me!! I have the right to be as ignorant, stupid, and selfish as I want to be!!

You can pay for online or night classes to upgrade your credentials. You can study new technical skills on your own. You can read books to learn more subtle yet powerful soft skills. You can go to networking events. Anything that can increase your value to society where people are willing to pay you more.

But America really is different. If you needed proof of whether or not America’s an idiocracy, a country of bizarre, backward idiots, incapable of reasoning, thinking about anyone but themselves, understanding much of anything, much less caring…you don’t have to look much further than the example of millions of Americans traveling for the holidays during a pandemic, sending its numbers to shocking new heights. It’s really, really incredible.

That meant, in the real world, something like this. That bus became a super-spreader. That airline route did. Maybe that airport or that bus station was. Maybe that shopping mall was. Maybe all of them put together in certain areas were. You can easily see how people trapped closely together for long hours in poorly ventilated, environments — buses, trains, planes, airports, malls — are Covid’s perfect storm.

stion only grew. The job itself was nowhere near as difficult as it had been in the past, but depression and burnout can make even small challenges feel like a big deal. Problems seemed to stack one on top of the other. Moments of happiness were fleeting. A few teammates tried to help me focus only on work that brought me joy, but I failed at that task. I absorbed very little pleasure from our wins, and quite a bit of pain from our losses. I remember a top VC, who was not one of our investors, posted something very positive about me and CircleUp online. I read it on my phone and immediately said, “Damnit!” to my wife. I explained that he couldn’t possibly know enough to mean these positive things, and his comments only made me wish that he genuinely did. I had gotten to a place where I only focused on the losses and couldn’t accept positive things.

I like Thanksgiving. I love spending time with the family. The holidays are important to me. But I’m also not a stubborn fool, like too many Americans. I can understand that this is not a normal year, and maybe sacrifices have to be made. You probably can understand that, too.

This kind of learning should be targeted. If you go read a book about spaceships, but you work in sales, then it won’t really help you make any more money (unless you’re a salesperson in the spaceship business). Look at the potential return-on-investment for every skill upgrade. That way, you’re always positioning yourself in a way that increases your income.

And yet none of that seemed to matter. Or at least not matter enough. To the millions of American Idiots, for whom sitting around a table eating turkey proved to be more than important than stopping the spread of a deadly disease.

I mean that, I really do — because literally nobody else has done what Americans did over Thanksgiving. Nobody. Europe’s been a global laggard in Covid, but even Europeans didn’t behave as foolishly and thoughtlessly as Americans. Nobody did. Americans are in a class of their own now, when it comes to genuinely fatal idiocy.

It was grimly, stupidly, frustratingly predictable. Millions of Americans travelled for Thanksgiving. In the middle of a lethal pandemic. That America had already failed to contain, and had the highest numbers in the world. Warning after warning was given. Please don’t travel. Stay at home this year. Help others be safe. The President-Elect spoke, the most respected doctor in the country spoke, all the epidemiologists agreed, and so did everyone left who was sane.

Why? As I pointed out, it was probably going to create a hyper-spreader event — several super-spreader events, across the country. Not just one, but several, simultaneously. That is the only way, really, that Covid can keep climbing to new heights in America, by the way.
