Something is missing from all four. The UN Charter is musty and creaks under its loads of bureaucracy in a G-Zero world. As a humanitarian entity it still is competent (if funded), as a political, decision-making body, it is an anachronism and ossified. Curr US admin lack of support isn't helping.

The peoples that went farthest from Africa had to be very smart and adaptable but it's wrong to think it all happened in a linear sequence. It is a genetic weave, not a tree.

The first snake in the grass.

That any student of law gets within earshot of him is a crime itself.

Let's do some math 342,000,000 ➗450,000 is 1 out of 760 people (men women and children). Are they all the worst of the worst? Criminals? Rapists and murderers? 1 out of 760? Is humanity that bad? No, and everyone one knows it.

Needed good news!!

His boyhood working in his Queens neighborhood corner store is next ...

In Europe where my civil liberties are respected and enforced. Hmmmm, seems a pretty fair deal, ya gets what ya pays for.

Sadly much useful government info (ie NWS, NOAA, FAA) is still there. Grrrrr 🤬

Respectfully, I dissent. No, not for legal, technical or philosophical reasons exactly, but because of an old old adage from the continent of our evolution, it is the Camel's nose inside the tent, and in this case pretty far in, in each classroom, wholly different than outside the courthouse in PA.

Rarely post these "losses", but he was different and at a most influential and vulnerable time in my life -- many late nights, many sweet friends, many memories ...

China produces 80 percent of the world's solar panels, about 60 percent of the wind turbines, and 75 percent of the batteries. It supplies 70 percent of all electric vehicles on the planet. Oh the winning, the winning ...

The word "require" is exactly what that part of 1A "make no law" refers to.

Drone delivery changes everything.

The puppeteers are having trouble with their puppet.

There is a short-circuit in this circuit's legal brain.

Slow-walking release of congressionally appropriated funds seems unconstitutional, doesn't it? Yeah, like all the other sneaky, underhanded, duplicitous, mendacious stuff that's been done to hijack a democracy.

There is a bit of hysteria on the topic, like most dangers, any mitigation is better than none, but also some things make a big difference and others hardly. Triage is the medical profession's way of partitioning, wereas 80/20 is business's approach. Finally, exposure duration multiplies everything

Mendacity

He's a liar like all the rest of them. Mendacity And Grift Again.

If he worked in food service he'd be a felon.

We have been lied to by nearly every confirmant for this administration. I need a damn good reason why this person is any more credible than the others, and I mean A LOT more credible.

The 35%, yes, those 35%, what is it that is pleasing them? How are their lives better? Are their problems solved? Are they happier? Is their future more secure? Will they live longer? Will they be richer? Will they be smarter? ...

Some people are trying to solve hard problems. Give them your support.

Your plate is full and you adroitly juggle a nearly impossible cast of competing interests across the whole planet. 🙏🏼

This is preparation for plausible deniability for attacks (on ships) after a deal is signed by Tehran. It allows them to keep indirect pressure (on shipping) in perpetuity even if they occasionally have to "punish" overzealous militias.

Corruption is the message that moves, it is something every common person knows the smell of and wants to be rid of it.

You know, it's easier to complain (well, actually wail and cry and bang head on wall) but the best thing to do now IS to PLAN TO REBUILD the destruction. Politicians need to be able to articulate concrete action steps, their costs and timing and convincingly assure voters that it is possible.

FRED data chart showing Spain's unemployment 2008 to Present peaking in 2013 at 27% now down to under 10%

Have you seen Spain's employment numbers? Must be doing something right ...

AND criminally punishing voting officials for a vanishingly small number inadvertent errors. It's a Sherman Tank to shoot one mosquito.
