For America’s School Children, Fat, Sugar, and Salt Replace Fruits and Vegetables
For the last few years, American public school children had been the beneficiaries of Michelle Obama’s effort to include more fruits and vegetables in the lunch menus, replacing things like pizza, hamburgers and french fries. Predictably, that came to a stop yesterday, the former first lady’s birthday, when the Trump administration rolled all this back.
These people are extremely good at what they do, which is anything in their power to punish the common American and especially, to destroy public education.
Given that 2019 was the second-hottest year since temperature records were first taken in 1880, we have the fact that each of the past six years were among the six hottest out of 140.

The efforts to which the Trump administration has gone to rip apart public education are disgusting, obviously aimed at manufacturing a new generation whose vast ignorance supersedes even that of our present population. 
The sheer volume of brazen felonies committed by Trump’s closest associates boggles the mind. The only thing more astounding is that tens of million of Americans still support this crime family, most of whom, at the same time, considering themselves “good people.” Incomprehensible.
Electric vehicle maven Ed Benjamin posts the meme here, noting, “We don’t need a handful of people doing it perfectly. We need millions of people doing it imperfectly.”
Here’s a battery energy storage concept that is proposed for cell phone charging and high-efficiency lighting in the many parts of the developing world that, otherwise, have no access to electricity. The product will cost about $12, and the consumables (thin sheets of iron, paper, and some sort of sulfur-salt compound) run about $0.10 per day, the spent chemical waste discarded at the end of each day.
