Notably: The Ed Sullivan Show premiered on this day in 1948. It ran until 1971. Steven Spielberg’s “Jaws” was released on this day in 1975. “It’s a noisy, busy movie that has less on its mind than any child on a beach might have. It has been cleverly directed by Steven Spielberg (“Sugarland Express”) for maximum shock impact and short- term suspense, and the special effects are so good that even the mechanical sharks are as convincing as the people,” Vincent Canby wrote in The New York Times. “If you think about “Jaws” for more than 45 seconds you will recognize it as nonsense, but it’s the sort of nonsense that can be a good deal of fun if you like to have the wits scared out of you at irregular intervals. It’s a measure of how the film operates that not once do we feel particular sympathy for any of the shark’s victims, or even the mother of one, a woman who has an embarrassingly tearful scene that at one point threatens to bring the film to a halt. This kind of fiction doesn’t inspire humane responses. Just the opposite. We sigh with relief after each attack, smug in our awareness that it happened to them, not us.”

If any city should be able to buck that failure, it is Miami. Loved by the mega-rich, it has a strong tax base and an economy dependent on the threatened real estate. A rational state would scramble to save it. Yet the policy response to its inundations is defined by short-termism, vested interests, inadequate resources, a Hobbesian scrum of federal, state, county and city agencies, and denial. Starting with the obvious, the Republicans, who have run Florida since 1999, are an impediment to cutting emissions. The previous governor, Rick Scott, was a climate-change denier. The current one, Ron DeSantis, is better on local environmental problems, yet while recently releasing a sea-level plan he dismissed “things like global warming” as a “pretext to do a bunch of left-wing things”.

–From the Lexington column in The Economist, June 9, 2022.

    @Considering today’s quote

    –From the Lexington column in The Economist, June 9, 2022.

    Is desantis really such an incurious, and inarticulate, boob — or is that the description of his supporters?

    Bet both are true.

    Sucky cartoon.

    So we no longer have cartoons suggesting “Negroes” can’t be smart enough, or women can’t do the job, but seniors? Fair target. Seems like this day and age, old age is something to disparage. On my 69th birthday, I completed, on my own, Daytona’s Zip Line obstacle course. I’m not done yet, either. Our daughter states we are more active than the 40 somethings she knows. How about giving this bigotry the boot?

    By the way, isn’t Trump around the same age? About three years difference? Maybe this is just another political ploy cashing in on this current societal approved bigotry.

      I voted for Biden and if it comes down to him again (as I hope it doesn’t) against any of those protoplasmic excuses for candidates the other party is putting forward, I’d vote for him again, but let’s not kid ourselves. Biden is not just old. He’s become rudderless, he’s painful to watch and listen to, and he projects the opposite of the sort of energy this country can use in that seat. I wouldn’t want someone of his disposition operating on a heart, operating a forklift or a law seminar. But we should trust someone of his disposition to run the country? It wasn’t bigoted to say that Thurgood Marshall–as revolutionary, brilliant and life-changing as he was for decades–overstayed his years on the Supreme Court when he was barely able to hold a pen in his latter years, it’s not bigoted to to say Biden’s age is an issue. As for trump, the problem there isn’t the unfitness of age. It’s unfitness, period.

        But with Trump, the age issue is ignored. The cartoon referred to age, not Biden being rudderless. He is not a forklift operator, but how do you know he can’t? That’s an assumption. As for surgery, in the olden days, many doctors delivered generations of babies, and serve their communities well into their golden years before they finally retired.

        How about UK’s Queen Elizabeth II, 96; King of Norway, Harald V, 85; Pope Frances, 85; King of Saudi Arabia (didn’t say they were angels) Salman Bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, 86; Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abba, 86; President of Cameroon, Paul Byia, 89; and President of Lebanon Michel Aoun, 88.

        I think those of us who voted for Biden were hoping for a sort of replay of Obama, and certainly did not Trump as President. Actually didn’t believe Trump could happen. Still…
        …sucky cartoon.
