I wrote about the Statue of Responsibility 11 years ago here.

Since then, I have moved several times. Statues and globes are difficult things to store, transport, and move, but I am proud to say I have managed to arrive here in 2026 with my Statue of Responsibility and globe intact.

This full-size Statue of Responsibility continues to await incomplete but ready to be built. Before, I thought it was ironic, as a nation in debt, to spend money on a monument to responsibility, but now I see we just spent almost $30 million on Ellis Island to upgrade the Statue of Liberty. Even though we are more in debt now, it seems like we have quite enough freedom and we should commit ourselves to some responsibility. Any cost for such a commitment seems small compared to what we are spending on other endeavors as a nation.
