How does one quantify a declining country's level of rot?

I don't know, but here's one datapoint:

'She implied, in conversation with NewsNation host Batya Ungar-Sargon, that it wasn’t quite fair to call Jeffrey #Epstein a pedophile because he was “into the barely legal type” of minors—which Kelly appallingly defines as “like, 15-year-olds”'

I think in a healthy country this person would not able to command a widely available media channel

@benroyce I don’t usually like commenting about people’s appearances, specially women’s, but why do all the right wing blondes eventually end up looking like human jerky??

@farah

when you have a lot of money there seems to be this bizarre pull to contort your appearance

@benroyce I’m not going to ask my local Libertarian for where the age of consent laws allow that definition to actually be true, but I’m pretty sure that it’s a false statement in most of the US (not to mention a morally disgusting one throughout). Barely-legal is a gross thing to begin with, even if used in a way that isn’t factually incorrect because it’s trying to skirt the legal limit put in place to protect younger, less experienced, less developed, less powerful people from being preyed upon by their elders. To paraphrase Chris Rock: “You know what barely legal means? It means that they would take advantage of you when you even younger and more childlike, but it’s against the law.”
