Aquapor’s Porous Pavers

Let’s suppose there is some benefit in terms of refilling aquifers and reducing flood damage. Can this possibly represent a cost-effective solution, considering the vast areas that are exposed to flood waters?

So what’s changed? Corporate America figured out that it could turn (fairly) objective news into entertainment, and keep Americans glued to it for long stretches of time, absorbing enormous amounts of paid advertising. In other words, news was converted from a public service into a multi-trillion dollar industry.
Making that happen required creating an us-versus-them environment. If you’re a conservative, the people who watch CNN want to give away taxpayer money to lazy slobs and illegal aliens. If you’re a progressive, Fox News viewers are hateful, ignorant, selfish pigs.
And so it goes.
Just understand that this didn’t just happen; it was engineered to make huge sums of money.

My belief is that what she’s hearing and seeing is not at all a random and fair sample of what comes out of his mouth. Not only is it carefully selected to show dysfunction, but it’s edited so as to magnify the errors.
Here’s an example of what Mom’s primary media source, Fox News, did re: Biden’s speech on Veterans Day.

Still, there is something utterly heart-warming in the photo below.
Having attended a Quaker school, this is a reminder of the way I was taught to act, i.e., to love my enemies.
Michael Flynn, former national security advisor to President Donald Trump, suggested that the United States should have just one religion. Said Flynn: “If we are going to have one nation under God, which we must, we have to have one religion. One nation under God, and one religion under God.”
I think that if I walked onto the campus of the K – 8 elementary school across the street and asked a randomly chosen 12-year-old kid what he thought about this, he’d immediately explain that this violates the very notion on which the United States was founded, not to mention the First Amendment to the Constitution. He’d go on to explain what a hateful and stupid idea it is. “What, you want to expel all the Jews, Buddhists, Hindus, and atheists?”
If you think about this further, you get into the various sects of Christianity, certainly the Protestants and the Catholics. Which of the two would you ban?

You can call yourselves anything you want, but trust me, you’ll be known as antivaxxers forever more, and that moniker will be the very kindest term used. Expect to be known as “selfish morons.”

The unemployment rate has fallen from 6.5% in January, 2021 to 4.6% today.
The country will be repairing its roads, bridges, electric grid, etc.
More than 60 judges found that there is no evidence of significant voter fraud in the 2020 election.
A congressional committee is making great progress in sorting out the January 6th insurrection, the largest single attack on American democracy since the Civil War, and Trump administration executives who refuse to comply with subpoenas are being arrested.
More than 600 participants in the insurrection are being sent to prison.
Almost 60% of Americans have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
Just stay tuned, my friend. Lots of good stuff is happening.

Is it a coincidence that undereducated white people almost uniformly support Trump, a man who is still trying desperately to overturn the results of the 2020 election?
