Foolish

a foolish nation..

Romans 10:19

Now, there are many candidates for the title "Most foolish nation". I am going to cross America off the list because the voters there did show sense by kicking Pelosi to the kerb & dramatically shutting down Biden's opportunities to pass legislation. 

Britain is a candidate: why are we putting up illegal migrants in luxury hotels & footing the bill? But let's look at Qatar, as the planet's focus turns to the World 🌎  Cup. Is Qatar foolish? Yes and no. Is it foolish to have strict laws against alcohol & homosexuality? No. In this the West could learn from the Qataris, though total Prohibition may not work as the Americans found out. Is it very foolish to kill 6,500 of your foreign workers with brutal labour laws & then draw international attention to this fact by hosting a major footie tournament? Yep, absolutely. 

But Japan 🗾 doesn't escape entirely. Here's me off to the supermarket for coffee ☕ in full winter ❄️ coat & 🤠 hat & hood, passing teens wearing nowt but their school uniforms. This is insane & surely must lead to plenty of sick 🤢 days, just as in summer kids fainting on school  fields in the heat is common. Why are genius fascist ideas from the 1930s like no winter coats for kids ("toughen the blighters up"- some childless anonymous official in Tokyo)  still enforced by 🏫 schools in Japan in 2022?
