No Trump in 2024
Our nice nation has to have the ability to do higher than a President Biden vs. Donald Trump rematch in 2024 (“Grumpy outdated males: the 2024 sequel,” Michael Goodwin, July 17).
As a Republican, I'm simply effective with the Democrats nominating Biden, as that's shaping as much as be a straightforward GOP victory. However the GOP should transfer on from Trump, as the one approach Republicans lose in 2024 is that if they nominate him once more.
The Republican Get together has such a robust bench of doable candidates, and it will be a disgrace to waste that expertise. And if a giant unfavorable relating to Biden is his age, why would the GOP nominate somebody who can be 78 years outdated come election time?
As we already know, Trump is all about Trump. The celebration mustn't assist him.

Sri Lanka’s trials
I take challenge with Wealthy Lowry’s opinion, “Greens’ Distress Agenda” (PostOpinion, July 20).
It isn't true, as he says, that Sri Lanka is in financial shambles as a consequence of its inexperienced power insurance policies. Sri Lanka is a failed state from its brutal, lengthy and futile genocidal civil conflict. Sri Lanka additionally suffered an financial setback from the tsunami of December 2004.
Most significantly, because the individuals of Sri Lanka will testify, their nation has been below one household’s rule and beset by that household’s blatant corruption in addition to its opposed financial insurance policies. Environmentalists are the least of the explanations for Sri Lanka’s financial debacle.
To be a conservative, one doesn't need to be a man-made climate-change denier.
Local weather change just isn't a political drawback. As the warmth waves and floods of Europe and throughout the globe present, it's already a transparent and current existential menace.

Child freedom
Lenore Skenazy’s article about permitting youngsters extra freedoms at a youthful age, just like the “Stranger Issues” crew, utterly missed the mark (“Allow them to go,” PostScript, July 17).
Occasions actually have modified. Folks as we speak drive like maniacs, with little regard for anybody aside from themselves. And now a schoolyard brawl finally ends up as a knife battle or a capturing match with unintended targets.
Whereas I disagree with the social-media platforms which have allowed the monitoring of youngsters (to the dismay of the youngsters and sanity of the dad and mom), it has change into a needed evil.
Skenazy wants to appreciate this isn’t the nice outdated ’80s anymore.

Landlord-law hell
As a working towards landlord/tenant lawyer in Elmira, I can relate to Joseph Strasburg’s considerations (“Courting catastrophe,” PostOpinion, July 19).
Right here in upstate, we've many landlords who've between two and 12 models unfold over a number of completely different neighborhoods. Due to the ERAP legislation, many of those landlords are practically bankrupt.
The everyday non-paying tenant has the cash to pay hire however makes use of it for different functions as a result of ERAP filings enable them to stay with out paying.
Then there are the serial filers — tenants who haven't paid hire within the final 28 months obtain 15 months of ERAP (the utmost), then fail to pay for the months thereafter after which file for ERAP once more when the owner brings a non-payment continuing.
The owner is caught in a political meat grinder with no money circulation. Trapped by these legal guidelines, many of those landlords are promoting their properties. They aren't nice realty moguls.
They're mom-and-pop companies that relied on the revenue from these properties for his or her retirement. No surprise persons are leaving this state in droves.
