I share your angst, only I am full of dread and anger. Despite our vaunted standard of living, the flood of toys and whimsy available to the consumer, our voracious consumption., in fact because if it, we are a nation built on the labor and lives of others. The only real difference between Rome and America is that we have a larger Equites class.

Rome was built on the back of slaves and conquest, as was America and were nt chattel slaves, slaves none the less,like the Chinese and Irish laborers who built Railroads, tunnels and canals.

As one of Anglo Saxon ancestry I do not take pride in admitting to this. But when the Anglo Saxons invaded Britain, they ethnically cleansed the country of the Brythonic peoples (many in the south of England fled to France, and returned to seek revenge as the right flank of Williams Army at Hastings.

Then they came to America and ethnically cleansed this continent as well

And they tried the same thing in Europe from 1933 to 1945.

At it again in America, in the form of MAGA, this time they have convinced the target that they are one of them.

On a up beat note. What were those dishes set in front of you.? They looked delish, I looked up clavel and it is a flower. I kept looking and found this Mexican restaurant in Baltimore and assume that this is. https://barclavel.com/
