An old joke from the Soviet Union

"Why was the flight delayed for an hour?"

"The pilot saw a problem with one of the engines, but it's ok now."

"Wow. You've replaced the engine in an hour?"

"No, we've replaced the pilot."

And a new joke from the United States:

"A president reads a bad jobs report...."

A good joke. But not a new one.. For decades America has been in the habit of moving the goalposts, rather than fixing the problem. Safe standards for various toxin levels in products have been exceeded and the standards lifted, rather than the product improved. And agriculture if full of moving standards for pesticides, antibiotics, and hormones.. Even drinking water standards. To the point that the EU and other countries have now enforced a new "clean" standard that is causing American produce to be rejected and turned back. In the past, no nation had the nerve to stand against the US. But the current Presidents attitude has changed all that forever..😷
