General Discussion

Working for an American university. My wife is currently in the US for a visit, and we are actually nervous about her going in and out of the country. We are both citizens from multi-generational citizen families so it should not be a problem.

But a lot of things are going on that should not be.

Some of my African friends and colleagues are displaying a bit of schadenfreude that America is now suffering from some of the same problems that some African nations have been facing for decades. Though other are saying Trump has not yet gone full dictator.

As long as the current administration does not cause my university to withdraw it support of its African campus due to DEI or other stupid issue, I hope to ride out the current crisis outside the country. But I still have many family and friends at home I have to worry about.

Not to mention the nation as a whole.
