From Axios:
Eric Trump suggested on Fox News Saturday that Democrats are “milking” coronavirus lockdowns in order to “deprive” his father President Trump of campaign rallies and hurt him in November’s election. (more…)
Yes, “the world is watching.”
In pity, in loathing, in disgust.
Watching a formerly great country imploding like a carved pumpkin a few days after Halloween. Once the core is removed, the rot takes hold in a surprisingly short period of time.
If it hurts to watch this from a safe distance, imagine what it’s like to live here.
Sweden’s vegan oat milk product “Oatly” comes from a company totally devoted to sustainability. From a spokesperson: “Electrical transportation is a key part of our supply chain strategy globally and on these routes, we will be reducing our carbon footprint by 87%.”
One runs into plenty of people who are talking about expatriating if Trump gets four more years to ruin this nation, and Sweden really wouldn’t be a bad choice. Beautiful country with kind and enlightened people. Every school kid from age 7 – 19 gets two English classes per week, so there is no language barrier unless you’re in extremely remote locations, which are too cold anyway.

The author of the meme here brings up an excellent point.
I happen to know some extremely well-educated Republicans; in fact, my mother is one. (more…)
Reader Markus Dirnbacher asks, Sustainable hydrogen – amongst all currently available technologies- will be the only possibility for long term storage of power! Do you agree?
No, this is extremely unlikely to happen. Batteries are making great progress, and synthetic fuels are under development. Making hydrogen is expensive and inefficient, and the delivery infrastructure is almost completely nonexistent.
Life is sad here in these United States right now, and for so many reasons.
Can you imagine being the guy handcuffing the nun? What must he be thinking: “A woman of God has traveled a long way in a desperate attempt to alleviate the suffering of innocent children, and I’m locking her in jail to punish her, and to prevent her from succeeding in her mission.” Ouch, that must hurt.
I know there is a lot of love and compassion being exchanged between many millions of Americans right now, but sometimes it’s hard to keep that in mind.
