I listened to Jon Stewart interview Michael Lewis about his new book the other day.

In the book, it extolls the amazing government workers who are currently demonized by the right wing media. It's yet another reason to be angry about DOGE and the cuts.

Then I saw this story about how they made these trading cards in Japan.

... and it occurred to me that someone should make a trading card game for all the government workers in the US. The "faceless bureaucrats" who do the thankless hard work and never get any real recognition. It might help humanize government workers to a public which apparently has no idea what government does.

I, for one, would love a Arthur A. Allen trading card.

I'm a bit fuzzy on what a good game mechanic would be in order to highlight things like engineering acumen or systems design. Guess I'll leave that to a game designer.

"It’s not a moment for national pride that [Maya] Angelou’s [I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings] is being purged from a military academy.

And it is a moment to acknowledge that the attack on DEI by the Trump administration, and by many on today’s right, is not some kind of good-faith reconsideration of the excesses of the DEI industry over the last couple of decades."

"There is a curious 'coincidence' about the firing of the Director of the National Security Agency and his top career deputy and the Trump Sneak Attack on the global stock market that resulted in nothing less than the Economic Pearl Harbor we are finding ourselves in today."

"His tariff regime isn’t based on material calculations; it’s not really meant to shift wealth to oligarchs, or to enrich billionaires, or to boost US industry. Instead, tariffs are a response to his own endlessly repeated self-aggrandizing fascist lies.

The rest of the world is out to get us. We must conquer them. It’s a story Trump likes to tell himself."

"When we see the charts of a straight downward trajectory, they also summarize what’s happening with cancer and Alzheimer’s research, academic freedom, national security, basic rights, the rule of law, America’s standing in the world, and so much more. If we could measure each, they would all look the same.

Trump’s chaos, extremism and incompetence are destroying them all."

"For the past few days everyone has understandably been focused on tariffs and the destruction of the world trading system. But in the long run, and maybe much sooner than that, the dire impacts of tariffs may be matched by the havoc Trumpism is wreaking in other areas."
