Anyway, I drifted down to Palm Beach, Florida, over the weekend for some out of the annoying cold time. I happened by the Eau Hotel and Spa. Nice place, right on the ocean. Room with a "resort view" $1,500 a night. A resort view means you don't see the water from your window. You might see small lizards who apparently get sizable lodging discounts.

The place was packed.  

Drinks flowed, folks frolicked in the pools and on the beach, and spa service was booked solid.

This is America at leisure.

Well, a small part of America.

The truth is most families cannot afford to go to the Eau. This wasn't a big deal in the past; working folks accepted their affluent fellow citizens without rancor.

But that has changed. Thanks to the progressive left's policy of resentment, the economic divisions among Americans are being exploited for political gain. No longer is the message "you, too, can hit it big." Now the radical left wants to punish the most fortunate, and many voters are down with that.

Of course, this is divisive and morally wrong (envy). But, like Covid, it's a contagion. And there is no break from it.
