Hear Hear! Hopefully this will help bridge the great divides in education, income and opportunity generally as well as specifically to race and color. This will serve to unlock untapped potential now lying dormant.A much stronger effort needs to be made nationally to enhance high school education, promote trade schools and community colleges and encourage the private sector to offer comprehensive training and apprenticeships. Wages need to be addressed as well. Even $15 per hour is no longer viable. $17-$20 is a more realistic base.

Say you make cars. After the product is designed, you have to invest in making each and every unit: in labor, in materials, in the factory itself and all it takes to run it.Say you make something tech, like a software program. After you have invested in designing it, the units you sell for money are basically free with almost no cost difference in selling a hundred, a thousand, or a million.It was like the boom days of the movies compared to the old model of Vaudeville.So, this makes the eyes of investors pop as visions of sugar plums dance in their heads.

Gaetz is a complete twit, but there is nothing fantastical about having a policy discussion about eliminating or vastly pairing down the income tax in favor of a national consumption tax with appropriate exemptions for basic food-stuffs, medicine and essential services. Tax simplication, ending loopholes and special interest deductions and credits make good sense, especially if a national consumption tax is also accompanied by a reasonable flat income tax for earnings in excess of something $500,000 and large capital dispositions of estates, securities and real property.

I don't understand the tortured navel-gazing about whether it would be appropriate to charge Trump, given the information that is already publicly available. It is indeed always prudent to consider whether the prosecutor is likely to win and consider the fallout from a failed prosecution, but one must also consider the seriousness of the crime and the likelihood that the accused (or copycats) will do it again, both of which are extremely high and represent an existential threat to the republic.If the evidence indicates Trump interfered in the election- charge him, and quickly. He is the type of criminal that needs to be dogged until he is no longer a threat to society. Make him defend himself, subpoena witnesses to testify under oath to a court and not to friendly media, have an open trial, and leave it to a jury to decide.Stop being afraid. The only thing to fear is not prosecuting him when it is so obviously called for. That is dangerous and corrosive.

Still gets 75 miles on a charge (which is perfect as a second car -- errands, going to work, golf course) car... In six years I've spent only $400 servicing it! (And tires.)

ManhattanWilliam, You ask a reasonable question that deserves an answer. We have a close and reciprocal military relationship with Israel. We use a good deal of technology developed by Israel (intelligence gathering, drone technology, computer science, aircraft technology are examples). Furthermore, Israel has tested a great deal of our military equipment under combat conditions, thereby saving a great deal of US money. we have been sending Israel roughly $3-4 Billion per year (more than 80% of this has been for cooperative military work). Most, if not all of this, has not been in direct cash but in the value of advanced aircraft given by us to Israel. And we have stored a huge amount of military equipment and ammunition in Israel, immediately available to us for our use). As our top military commanders have repeatedly noted, “Israel is a large non-sinkable aircraft carrier” in the Middle East, if and when we need it.And at the same time 7 major Arab States or entities (including Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Sudan, Palestine Territories, Iraq, Afghanistan) received many billions more of our dollars, which is many times more than we send to Israel. So, perhaps you or any of the many people who support and "recommend" it can answer just what are we getting in return for our financial support of these countries.

Pete It is NOT creating debt. These legal liabilities already exist, such as vendor accounts payable for services already rendered, for spending [including associated liabilities] previously authorized by Congress.It is simply providing the government one mechanism to pay these liabilities through refinancing them through the issuance of T bonds,Example: The government owes Dell $1M for computers it sold to the Commerce Dept. The government issues $1M in T bonds and uses the proceeds to eliminate the $1M debt owed to Dell. The government's overall debt hasn't increased because it merely refinanced the debt previously owed to Dell.

Sonja Absolutely. I just went on Medicare and joined the state University system. It seems everytime I need a refill one existing prescriptions that I had already discussed with my new primary care practitioner I have to now come in. Hmmmmm. Why? Each time he gives me some other BS..... no I will never hold your scripts hostage to a visit.....but then he only gives me one months worth with zero refils. So I'm on 8 scripts. Three are filled by my endocrinologist but that leaves five to him. I realized that he has to bring income into the system even if it is the state university hospital system. I see the EOBs from the billing unit each time. He doesn't get paid if he just has the techs call in the annual refill. He has to see me. I also noted that he told me last week he only has to "see" me every six month but then typed into his notes he was supposed to see me in four weeks. I am seriously rethinking using this practice entirely even though my husband has had a good relationship with them for his first two years on Medicare.(BTW..... we are retired military and could only continue to get the military to be our medi-gap if we signed up for Medicare Part B. Our "free for life" medical care now costs the two of us $700/mo (and I understand that is going up)).

It seems many commenters have conflated the job of a doctor with that of a leader during a pandemic. A doctor's job is straight forward: save lives at all costs. But at leader's job is far more complicated. She must use medical science to make profoundly difficult risk-reward, cost-benefit decisions within the context of a free society, to balance saving lives with the real human costs of "at all costs." The costs of a mass, and extended economic shutdown were not merely about "greed," but people remaining sheltered and fed, families to avoid crippling poverty, for children to be educated, for society to simply move forward. My white collar job which allowed me to Zoom in during the height of the pandemic. I actually made money: no commute, lunches out or dry cleaning. What about the others in the economy who were looking at being totally out of work for an unknowable, extended future. And don't they, as individuals, have the right to make risk-benefit decisions about their own lives? I guarantee you the people who fought the most stringent and extended lockdowns, such as in New Zealand and Canada, were blue collar workers. And those applauding such shutdowns were like me, with the ability to Zoom into the office.

I would like to make a couple of points.One: democrats need to stop being so defensive. Biden should apologize for his sloppiness once the Robert Hur investigation comes to an end, and not be on defensive on that issue from that point on. And democrats should rally to Biden's defense because that is what republicans would do (and are doing even more for Trump).Two: Biden has been a great president, almost a transformational one. Were Russia to lose the war in Ukraine, and re-emerge as a parliamentarian republic, Biden would have turned a nuclear-armed rival into a potential ally, and weekend and isolated China considerably, and would have ushered in an extended era of peace in Europe. Domestically, too, the signature legislations he helped pass, from the Infrastucture Bill, to the CHIPS and Science Act and Inflation Reduction Act should continue to pay dividends for a decade. Give the above, Biden should run for re-election if he feels he is healthy enough to run and serve the four-year term - he has earned this much.

"content": "I would like to make a couple of points.One: democrats need to stop being so defensive. Biden should apologize for his sloppiness once the Robert Hur investigation comes to an end, and not be on defensive on that issue from that point on. And democrats should rally to Biden's defense because that is what republicans would do (and are doing even more for Trump).Two: Biden has been a great president, almost a transformational one. Were Russia to lose the war in Ukraine, and re-emerge as a parliamentarian republic, Biden would have turned a nuclear-armed rival into a potential ally, and weekend and isolated China considerably, and would have ushered in an extended era of peace in Europe. Domestically, too, the signature legislations he helped pass, from the Infrastucture Bill, to the CHIPS and Science Act and Inflation Reduction Act should continue to pay dividends for a decade. Give the above, Biden should run for re-election if he feels he is healthy enough to run and serve the four-year term - he has earned this much. Democrats should be willing to support any decision he makes.\n",

Hold onto to your tickets, folks, you may want a full refund of whatever you might have invested in this spectacle. The Republicans have now driven their clown car of a party right into the halls of Congress, attempting to repeat the passionate paranoid probe of patriotism by the Right on Jan. 6 by refashioning it into a neatly packaged three-ring circus destined to not go away until the American people have another chance to take away the keys from these kleptocratic bamboozlers and certified con men in 2022.The chief among them are well known, the ilk of Boebert, Taylor-Green, and Gaetz, etc now joined by Santos - hey Santos would make a great 22Speaker, dontcha think? But what about the tolerant silent majority, who along with McCarthy, seem incapable of restoring a modicum of sanity in the party's agenda. The implosion of the party in Illinois - and a determination to stay that course - suggests the infection is systemic. As is the solution as Dem majorities begin setting down roots in places like Michigan and Arizona. State politics reflect local politics, too, so this id the start of a generational shift in the opposite direction as strong as Reagan led into the party 4 decades ago. The exodus is already apparent in suburban Chicago, where a decade ago brand R was a reliable contender. The shamefully suborned abortion ruling finished off positive R results there for as far as the eye can see. The real Q is how many clowns in the car to get McCarthy elected?

It is worth remembering Diana has two sons who lost their mum. Where is the focus and thought about Williams grief and anguish?Harry portrays himself as compassionate but he trashed his brother, his brother’s wife and his family to a global audience of millions. And then expects them to apologise?!?Harry also talks about going on a mission against the media and how the royal family work with the media. Yes of course it does, as do A List celebs, politicians and everyone else!However here he is selling his story to the same media for 100m bucks! He has also preached to people about the environment while justifying his own private plane travel. He talks about privacy then sells gossip about what happened the day the Queen died. We could on.It is the hypocrisy that is the most frustrating aspect of H and M’s endless narrative. Also the damaging accusations that everyone in the royal family and Uk is effectively racist is what is annoying everyone especially in the Uk.Harry has the public schoolboy confidence and sounds articulate but actually to a fellow Brit he comes across as entitled, whiney, selfish and a little thick. His media arguments are simplistic 10th grade rants and lack intellectual rigour.Virtually everyone in the Uk supported them when they got married. The Uk paid 30m pounds for their wedding &security. Their decision to leave and seek privacy was supported too. Now the hypocrisy of them selling their story grates and questions their original motives.

Maybe he's open and honest about his moves, but not so much about his motives. He wants to be an example of what wonders unfettered "brilliance" and entrepreneurship can bring to the masses.

The damage from weeks of storms and flooding in California could exceed a billion dollars, according to the state’s emergency agency and private weather forecasters. That toll comes on the heels of 2022, one of the worst on record for large-scale weather and climate disasters around the United States, according to data released Tuesday by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

I take your point. But if the data show that Teslas on AP or FSD are less likely to crash, then the conclusion must be that the non-consenting public is still safer as a result of the beta testing, mustn’t it?This very disappointing article would never pass scientific peer review because it preferences narrative over objective evidence. For example, when trying to dismiss Tesla’s data showing 10x lower risk of accident, the article falls back on a vague ‘less safer’ argument (ie., results are biased by differences in driver experience, highway vs non-highway, etc) which leaves the door open to interpretation as anything from more dangerous to only 2 or 5 times safer (a deliberate semantic trick when trying to prosecute an argument). If the author has the quantitative data, it should have been presented so that the reader can make an informed decision based on personal risk tolerance.

This is a lazy "ABC" article. Most ordinary people do not need an advisor. Diligently do two things: 1) Save as much as possible, as capital is king. (or Queen) Max out your 401k or at least up to the match amount, and then Roth IRA and then brokerage accounts. 2) Invest in low-cost Index funds and stay the course. That's it. You will need an advisor, attorney, and accountant when your net worth exceeds a certain threshold, where setting up different estate planning trusts becomes a paramount consideration, along with tax minimization.

This is very interesting . Satya Nadella of Microsoft gave a talk ( its on you tube) last week, in India, on open AI, etc..he gave an example where he asked the machine to tell him which were the best South Indian breakfast dishes and why. The machine gave a nice summary, with a lot of language. He asked it more questions and it was quick to correct itself. See the video if u are interested BTW, I asked the machine to give me a marketing/ positioning statement for a material I was developing. .. I simply asked that it be targeted at auto companies, mention it was based on green technologies, and had third party testimonials .. I got back a 8 line paragraph, in under 15 seconds ,! So it can lead to a lot of jobs disappearing

After working in hospitality for over a decade and getting out after college, this article makes my blood boil. I took that class every year. That industry abuses people and families. Servsafe has perpetually destroyed the opportunity for wage expansion based on greed. This is disgusting and this lobby needs to be broken up. Pretty clear conflict of interest. Some states server wages are less than $8 an hour. Formula is 13$ a container. Clearly that’s an issue. If the US capitalistic system continues to put profits over people, we will end up like China. Way too many old people and no children. We can’t afford to have them. Do better America.

Online platforms, first and foremost, are driven by profits and profits alone. Unlike newspapers, which are also profit-making companies, they have a public service purpose essential to an open and democratic society -- and they are subject to being sued for libel. But online platforms are a free-for-all and they also have massive traffic, far more than newspapers.In fact, it is their sheer size that makes it impossible to regulate what people post or share. We have reached a tipping point in online platforms where the cons far outweigh the pros. And it will only get worse as they continue to grow. If the Supreme Court decides to eliminate the cover of Section 230 -- so the platforms have no protections from libel and lawsuits -- they will either have to spend far more resources to monitor the vile and libelous content and defend lawsuits or simply close up shop. Either way, it would be better than the current situation.

As corporate politicians gladly dole out Trillion for weapons production and the escalation of a dangerous war, child poverty grows and rent-gouging leaves more of us hungry, homeless, criminalized and disenfranchised. As Senator Ocasio-Cortez recently pointed out regarding the latest weapons spending, $20 Billion could end homelessness, and child poverty could be reduced by half for $90 Billion -- far less than the money spent on weapons and war -- and far more controversial in a corporate oligarchy where business agendas and global hegemony are prioritized and citizen needs come last. Our lives remain endangered in a country saturated with guns. Mass shootings are a near daily occurrence. Our ruling class, whether right-wing extremists or corporate centrists, are more dedicated to our right to kill each other than to our rights to have healthcare, education, homes, or even sick leave.We are living in a time when our systems and our lives are being held hostage by empowered corporate interests. We are divided by corporate parties, that rhetoric aside, agree more than disagree when in comes to priorities that harm us for the benefit of profiteers from polluting industries to expanding hegemonic, environmentally devastating wars.If we are to survive this most dangerous era, we need to be active and united beyond elections. This must include massive protests, labor actions, building a progressive workers' party, and consideration of a national strike.

Linda hoquist At least the proud Brits don't have some bureacrat in Brussels telling them they have to open their countries to unlimited numbers of "asylum seekers" or making other decisions for the Brits from afar.

"most 20-somethings should worry more about jobs, housing, transportation and less about lattes and Netflix.”...said Mr. Teutsch (a certified financial planner and managing partner at Values Added Financial).What does the math say?1. A $4.00 daily latte is $1,460/year.2. A standard Netflix subscription is $180/year.3. Eliminating lattes and Netflix saves the 25-year-old $1,640/year.4. Investing that $1,640/year in a total stock market index fund until age 65 (40 years) equates to $65,600.5. Assuming a historical 7% return over those 40 years and compounded annually...the 25-year-old would end up with $374,877.81 from their $65,600 investment.But what do I know...I'm not a certified financial planner and managing partner at Values Added Financial.

“To show the world that the only way to keep him from winning nearly any tennis tournament is to not let him play.”“Nearly” is working hard in that sentence. Djokovic demanded special status at the Australian Open last year before he even entered the country. He was dishonest and expected he would be exempted from standards other players met. He is a great player, a real master. And he could have played. It was his choice to step away, his responsibility.

In the spiritual traditions the word "appearance" is very important and the five senses are considered "gates". From this filtered viewpoint, we don't actually know what any of this is. The oceanic view of existence is that we are like waves or appearances and not separate. Science has not helped us to understand what any of this is. It has given us more refined definitions and labels of that which has always been the case. Science at its best is an open exploration of existence and not conclusive. As example, Newtonian physics was useful the most useful tool until Einsteinian physics came along. Efforts to improve aviation were once with the ICE engine until Frank Whittle and Jet engine appeared. We recognize not that all things are changing, but that there are no things; only appearances or only movement and change.... iron columns are rivers of molecules that move slow and things like thoughts, moods and light particles appear to move fast. Mountains turn into hills and astronomers tell us entire galaxies blip out of existence. There are as many stories of existence as there are humans. For the objectifying brain there are objects and these objects are given labels and put in proper categories. But, in nature no two appearances are the exact same. No two trees, no two snowflakes...no two humans. To question the appearances is not nihilism, but to acknowledge “There are more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.”

If it takes this many concessions for Kevin McCarthy to be elected as Speaker, then he’s just not the right person for the job. And this demonstrates that he cannot lead the House of Representatives.That’s OK with me. I want action on serious bread-and-butter policy initiatives. McCarthy has placed Hunter Biden at the top of his list of priorities, plus that foolish “repeal” of funding for the IRS, based on lies that the IRS “militarized.” McCarthy shows he will lie to his constituents to get the Speakership. Re: the IRS, a May 2021 report indicated that the IRS wanted about 87,000 new employees over a ten-year period, including expected attrition of 50,000 employees, for a net increase of 37,000. McCarthy (and freshman Congressman John James yesterday) perpetuates the lies about the IRS, yet he wants people to trust him. It appears he will say what it takes, including lying, to get what he wants. We need a leader, not a transactional and mercenary hack. A leader, he is not. America can do better.

Allow me to add:1. A Radio Liberty report I saw on YouTube interviews a front line Ukrainian soldier who reports the Wagner troops attack in human waves of 40 - 50 soldiers none of whom survive the attack, something out the Red Army of 1943.2. Institute for the Study of War reports Prighozin spends $100 million per month of his own money to keep a force of 40,000 convicts and 10,000 contract soldiers in the field. His star is falling as his troops have failed to take Bakhmut.3. Biden holds all the cards: 100 Abrams tanks and 40 F16s in the hands of the Ukrainians can end this madness in a matter of weeks.

What "left"? Because of the absence of feudalism in America, there has never been a serious left in the U.S. In America, there is no duopoly of parties: "Republican" and "Democrat" as political scientists denote them. Both are parties funded by the wealthy, the corporations and the banks. There is only one party, a monopoly, the party of $$$$. There is no left in America, and there never will be a left. There is only greed and socialism for the rich.

Animal experimentation has become a business. Experimenters can readily purchase animals, publish the "results" in an online journal, pad their CVs, and, all too often, get NIH to pay for it. Look at any issue of the journal Nutrients, from MDPI. You will see animals used cruelly for studies that could easily and ethically have been done in human volunteers. For example, researchers studied the 'antidepressant effects' of saffron, not by asking depressed humans to try it and rate their mood, but by force-feeding it to mice, then tossing the mice into water and timing their panicked struggles as a crude measure of their mood. Authors pay Nutrients $2600 per article. They pad their CVs, the journal makes $13 million a year. In the 1980s, animal laboratories were deemed "essential" for training medical students. Today, all US and Canadian med schools use nonanimal teaching methods exclusively. We once thought we needed animals to create antibodies for use in research. Today we create them in vitro; they are cleaner and better quality than the animal-derived versions. Of the 3 "Rs," the one that matters is Replacement. Instead of animal experiments, we need to focus on human biology, human behavior, human genetics, and, often, human diets to understand the disease epidemics we ask our clinicians to deal with. Modern methods allow us to do that in exciting ways. Replacing animals is not always easy, but it is ethically essential and it invariably improves research.

Many people think Biden and his team have done a masterful job so far of balancing support for Ukraine, and by extension Eastern Europe, and the risk of escalation into WW3. There are no easy choices in a situation like this and so we probably need to consider that the right path is just the least bad option. And you should vote because not voting is half a vote for the option you don’t want.

I appreciate whatever decreases PG$E's stranglehold on its customers. So when SF finally got a choice who to buy electricity from, I signed up for the program Clean Power, especially as it offers a choice of different levels of green energy. I would gladly pay more for energy from renewable sources. However, as it turns out, the highest level of green energy is cheaper/unit than PGE's rates.What increased utility bills in SF is PGE's 9% rate hike in 2022. Furthermore, PGE proposes to increase electricity and gas rates 40% and 60%, respectively over 2021 rates in the next four years. The stated purpose is to generate $12.8 billion to finance underground thousands of miles of power lines at a cost of more than $3 million/mile. While undergrounding is highly effective, the cause of PGE associated wildfires was found due primarily if not exclusively to the company's lack of maintenance and inspection. The funds for correcting these deficiencies should already be in the company's operating expenses. Business analysts say undergrounding is a type of capital spending that increases a company's profits. The four year rate hikes, therefore, is consistent with PGE practice of profit over safety. Hopefully, there will be some regulation of PGE's power to use customers to finance their investments.

This war is a wake-up call for the American military, unseen since a small relatively cheap Swedish stealth sub defeated the mighty American Navy in 2005, "sinking" the USS Ronald Reagan flagship repeatedly in NATO exercises. In that sense, the billions in military aid to Ukraine have already paid themselves back.It seems overwhelming defenses with massive amounts of cheap drones (the Iranian ones Russia is using are reported to cost only $20,000 a piece) is the new attack of choice. Our answer, expensive anti-missile systems, is neither fully effective nor financially sustainable in the long run. Unfortunately China is extremely well placed to mass produce such weapons and you can be sure Xi's regime is already getting their hands on designs through any means possible.

More like 'boring.' Oh, and did I forget the $650,000 price tag?

Ibn Battuta Let's be clear: it's not "hatred toward the Chinese" to criticize Xi, his lying, or his failed Zero Covid sudden pivot.No regime in history-- please recall-- has been more harmful to Chinese culture (the "4 olds", the Cultural Revolution, etc) than the CCP themselves; so waving the "hatred" flag around (as if the Chinese people and the repressive CCP are synonymous!) is the the height of cynicism.Did you know you literally cannot make a comment on a Chinese message board that the CCP doesn't like, without it getting immediately erased? Or that you cannot criticize or speak even slightly disadvantageously of the CCP whatsoever in their "domestic press" (which is therefore nothing but propaganda); and yet the CCP and its disinformation agents flood the Western press with whataboutism daily; gaming our own system against us; preying on people's ignorance or the threat of "transnational censorship" (just look at John Cena's shameful apology!)?To use your free speech here to defend a regime which steals speech from its own citizens, is to betray the silenced people over there who can't use their own voices for fear of reprisal.A more censorious regime than the CCP has never existed in human history (okay, North Korea; but they're just China's little sidekick)... and so we in the West really need to wake up and stop pretending like they're a bunch of "open-minded altruists" who got a raw deal.Because it's Totalitarianism.And to criticize it isn't "racist".

I want to point out two other things; "The companies have already spent more than $2 billion on exploratory work and to prepare for the project.", the author of this article does not mention how much of the $2B went to political contributions for McCain, Flake, and Kirkpatrick. The "...slipped a federal land swap in an appropriations bill...", is actually McCain and Flake's rider, Section 3003 of the 2014 NDAA, titled "Southeast Arizona Land Exchange and Conservation Act" (titled as innocuous and pro-conservation as possible). In 2014, just hours before the vote on the "must pass" NDAA, McCain added the land exchange deal to the bill, which Obama signed. The author makes no mention of how much money was spent to influence State and Local Government. The "A required environmental review was completed in the final days of the Trump Administration", "completed" is a generous term to use to describe the 2021 USFS EIS. It was rushed, incomplete, and lacking. As far as the Apache Tribe in the EIS, there was very little meaningful consultation. The relationship of the Apache Tribe to the Federal Government is government-to-government and should be treated as such.

I am having a good chuckle over Bret's concerns about the big city couple making $400,000 a year. Having grown up among rock-solid middle class families in the Midwest, we never assumed parents owed us money to pursue a college education. They motivated us to get one and then helped us determine where we could go based on cost and the jobs, scholarships and loans we could get to help pay for it. They drove their used cars without complaint and enjoyed the dickering to get the best deal. And they wondered why things were so damn expensive too, then clipped coupons, put away a little savings each month, and scrupulously watched for deals. And debt? Outside of a mortgage, it was a four-letter word. The outcome of this recipe was kids who felt less entitled, who observed how to face life's challenges while enjoying it, and who were well-rounded and capable of adapting when the inevitable kinks appeared. And yes, they gave to God what was God's and to Caesar what was Caesar's, because that's what you do.

Stan Continople - Then there was Morris Hambro (1860-1938), a sign painter who emigrated to the US and became an art entrepreneur. He would visit impecunious artists and buy up unsigned paintings for $10-15, add a signature T Bailey, and sell them for $50. Banks and hotels were big customers, and he is believed to have had a deal with an art gallery. Today, you can find hundreds of T Bailey paintings offered at auction. Many of them are quite good, and some are actually by well-listed artists.

David B You're understanding of the conflict isn't quite accurate, either (although I wish it was as you described).A Ukrainian offensive in the south sounds simple, except that the Russian's have more than 150,000 draftees set to finish their 3-month training in the coming months. Russia has plenty of armor but not enough infantry to support and occupy territory, which is why the partial mobilization was ordered. Lack of infantry support is also why tens of thousands of prisoners were conscripted. They were meant to fill the gap in time so the real troops can train, essentially all given death sentences as cannon fodder.The Ukrainians are aware of this coming wave of fresh Russian troops. Which means they have very difficult decisions to make. They can conduct an offensive(s) of their own and try and spoil the coming Russian attack. But if that offensive fails, they might be left open to an overwhelming Russian counter. Alternatively, they can pool their resources and try to defend against the Russian attack when it comes. But this risks being ground down as in Bakmut, and having no reserves left to push the Russians out from any gains they may make. Western weapons will help the Ukrainians blunt a Russian attack. Better tanks, artillery, and training, will help their defence.The Russians are not massing new troops just to take Bakmut. They are massing new troops to either conquer Ukraine to the Dnipro, or force a capitulation, whichever comes first.

Ruth Bonnet I remember a time when there was no line required for Shakespeare in the Park. This was for the 2002 production of Twelfth Night. My cousin was in town, and I was charged with taking him around the city to see various sights. We were walking around in Central Park one afternoon when we saw there was a production that night at Delacorte Theater. We walked up to the open ticket booth and asked the ticket agent if tickets were available. She said yes, and handed us two tickets for that night's performance. There was just as much of an audience that night in the theater as there is nowadays. Fast forward to 2018 or so, and the lines at the distribution lines are ridiculous, stretching two blocks and counting. People claimed they waited since 7 am for the 12 pm distribution.If you can get the lottery tickets online, then great. Otherwise, the ticket lines are not worth the hassle IMO. There are other far less-well-known outdoor Shakespeare productions that are free and don't require hours-long waits for tickets. And while these productions lack the production flash of SITP, they are still quite good.

Luxembourg A default on the public debt by the US would have long-term as well as short-term repercussions. Specifically, treasury bonds would no longer be seen in the financial markets as an essentially zero-risk investment. The Treasury would have to offer the bonds on the market with higher interest rates, which then increases the costs of borrowing, further fueling the public debt. In my opinion, a default would truly mark the beginning of a decline of US influence and power on the global stage.

Some years ago I was involved in a lawsuit. Outcome depended on testimony of 2 experts, valuing damage to equipment. Damage to the equipment was obvious (4" layer of debris on, and 2" of standing water) on an electron microscope. The cause was obvious, the roof was removed (said microscope visible in aerial photography). Opposing counsel claimed "they could not value the equipment, as they cannot recall any damage". The judge looked at them with disbelief. Given our turn, my attorney said "well we can determine the value," showing a quote from Phillips for a new microscope ($850,000 in 1998 dollars). Which party was believable? About people who cannot "remember" one of the worst moments in this country's entire history? I recall my own adventure, and I am calmed: If you can't remember, don't worry! Others remember; input from amnesiacs no longer needed.Moral of the story: If someone can't answer a question, find someone who can.

Disappointed in this opinion.I work in the area. While I am completely depressed as NYC - especially Manhattan - has been hyper-gentrified, I definitely understand the desire and need to protect the little open space that still exists.A few important things to note:Over the past 10 years, there has been massive luxury overdevelopment in the area particularly around Fulton/John/Beekman/Nassau Street. Small, pre-war buildings have been torn down and replaced by new high-rise luxury buildings and hotels.Unbelievable to see 30-40 stories on these narrow streets!Pace University has expanded.Fast food chains are everywhere.There is no place to walk on the sidewalk when the garbage is put out.The streets - which used to be empty - are now congested with vehicles (Uber, Amazon) servicing the luxury residential - Uber, Amazon etc - and Pace students.Ambulances, police and fire trucks cannot get by.The narrow 2/3 platform at Fulton Street is an accident waiting to happen. There is no way more people can fit.It is actually criminal that the City has allowed the zoning that permits this dangerous overdevelopment.And criminal that Mitchell-Lama has been mostly lost in NYC

I’ve met several guys like Santos over the years, they’re called grifters. Investing 625k is insane. So, I think there’s more to this story they didn’t publish. Nobody earns 16 pct consistently. And any consistent high return is a big red flag. Santos has never accomplished anything, why would any avg investor think he was legit.

yes bob gottleib the guy who ever positions himself to be more famous than the authors. lol. Has gone on for years, nothing new there. The Caro fist book on LBJ is an excellent insight about how the temperament and dreams and rank racisms brought about stealing Texas from the indigenous and the Spanish. For that reason alone, with all its crowing and positioning theft and murders as heroic of some texans, it is an eye opener for marginalized Latino/Mexica/ y otros tribes and ancianos from Mexican lands that were once theirs. Without meaning to, it seems, the works play to a White audience of readers, which is ok but the opening scenes of book 1 LBJ also expose the rot in Tejas' past governance and trying to hold onto slavery that one sees in current state admin now. The books, given all that has occured under the table, are a mixed bag re the many truths that stand as fact, much of which is not in the seriesm for it was writte toward a cerrtai readership. Like the books, fine. But they are more revelagtory about the deep greeds and hatreds of Indians and others that brought about modern Texas. I just wanted to comment without adoration.

Last year the best picture winning film was CODA, it made less than 2 million dollars in box office. Best director was for the film, the Power of the dog which made less than 0.5 million in box office. America used to make original movies that had great story , great acting and also very popular with public. Silence of the lambs, Forrest Gump, Schindler's list, Titanic , beautiful mind, Lord of the rings, all of them won best picture in 90s and early 2000s. In the recent years we have uninspiring repetitive marvel movies, remakes of old movies. I watched last year's Oscar winning movie, it was too boring. Where is the creativity in Hollywood? Instead of making marvel movie for every character maybe they should make some popular original movies. At least Top Gun was better than all these marvel cinematic movies.

We had a desktop computer in an open loft above our living room when the kids were young. One day I heard our 11 y/o son exclaim, "Man, that lady is HOT!" A friend of his had shown him how to find porn online. The interest is there, and they are going to investigate. A conversation about how sex should be loving and consensual, and parental controls are in order, but let's face it. It's one of the strongest drives known to humans, and kids are curious.I'm much more worried when it comes to all the gratuitous violence in the media. And now 6 y/os are shooting teachers!

While I am enthusiastic about particle theory - and the pursuit of basic science across all fields - the two physicists you interview don’t offer much justification for ever more powerful, ever more expensive, accelerators in this time of climate collapse and pandemics. The costs of the proposed next particle accelerator, some 60 miles in circumference, will be at least $30 billion, and it will cost $1 billion a year to operate. It will be a “Higgs Factory,” supporters claim. Even basic research requires priorities. Is this where we should pledge our money, even at fractional chunks per year? They also base a central piece of their argument on a logical fallacy. As they note, string theory is a mathematical convenience, however cool. It’s not science, because it is - their words - untestable. Claiming that math is the “language” of science (decent metaphor) or a “framework” (less so) does not make it science, nor does it rescue string theory and its multiverse, whatever Avengers wants to push, from the realm of mathematics. What say we give all of math’s money for the next decade to physics? How

The secret to being successful in this environment will be compromise, unfortunately that is not in the Republican vocabulary or DNA. If you think this is a spectacle wait until there is must pass legislation, like a debt ceiling. What we are witnessing is just the opening act of real nightmare scenarios in the future. The entire basis of how our government runs is at stake, once again. This seems to be a common theme: When the trumpian party is in charge, Democracy itself is in danger, and by extension, our country itself.

What a great piece. We live in Miami, our kids go to a private school in Coconut Grove. My wife grew up here, and also went to school in the Grove. And we sat in those same white plastic chairs at Scotty's, eating delicious (and better priced) grilled fish sandwiches served with unpretentious fries, back before Maimi's Republican Mayor and the city commissioners took the lease away to give it to favored donor to build the restaurant monstrosity with neon lights and $30++ entrees and $20++ drinks now occupying that real estate adjacent to Miami City Hall. Sigh. It's legal self-dealing and patronage, demonstrating why so much money underpins elections for what should be humdrum public service roles.Regarding DeSantis, this would-be emperor really has no clothes. However, I liked the fairness of the piece, that acknowledged that all of Florida's problems aren't DeSantis's sole or individual fault (of course), however, its how he chooses to prioritize his time in office that is damning. Seemingly EVERY CHOICE is weighed with how it improves his attractiveness to today's Republican Primary Base, the core FOX NEWS viewer, and whether it will get him on that evening's Tucker Carlson or HANNITY! broadcast. There is ZERO care in the world for bipartisanship, or authentic leadership. But the guy, from his hair coloring to his boots with 2-3 inches of height-boosting manliness, to whatever is flattening his stomach, to his red meat policies, is just a cheap empty suit.

I don't think we realize the spectacle we're in for. Here's what the House GOP did on day one in congress:- Their anti IRS bill was scored by the CBO, and would raise the deficit by nearly $115B. They proceeded to hail this as a victory.- They removed CSPAN cameras from the house chambers, and now only Republicans can dictate when Cameras are in the House when the House is in session. This was considered a victory for "oversight"- They threatened to defund DHS (including ICE and Border Patrol), if DHS doesn't do everything they want.Meanwhile, another new Republican congressmen was on air advocating for getting COVID instead of the Vaccine, just 12 hours after prominent conservative pundit Diamond of 'Diamond and Silk' (also an anti vaxxer, COVID conspiracist) died of COVID.Strap yourselves in. This roller coaster is just warming up.

Daisy's Cute Little Doghouse I can write a tome supporting your point.But just a single example to illustrate exactly what you said.By some estimates, Rupert Murdoch cashed over 50 billion from 2001 to 2012 peddling a 24/7 WAR ON TERROR ON HIS SEWER POND - AKA FIX NEWS.Only 6 weeks after the 9/11 attacks, Murdoch had the infamous 24 TV series ready to go. An American hero who is on a holy mission to kill terrorists. Murdoch ran this charade around the country for 9 years non-stop on his FOX TV outlets. I firmly believe Murdoch cashed on 9/11 more than Lockheed, Raytheon, GD, and NG combined. The genius of it: Murdoch never had to fire a single bullet.

Kurt Pickard you are incorrect. The CA state budget provided a total of $7.2 billion ($3.3 billion General Fund) in 2021‑22 to about 30 homelessness‑related programs across various state departments. The Governor’s 2022‑23 budget proposes $2 billion one‑time General Fund over two years that is intended to address near‑term homelessness needs while previously authorized funds for long‑term housing solutions are implemented: $1.5 billion for behavioral health “bridge” housing and $500 million for the Encampment Resolution Grants Program.

E9821 I'm guessing the real reason Noma closed is interns couldn't afford the flight over nor the stay over there. The trustfardians found another career to cool their jets for a year or two before their families gave them a job.Unpaid internships is an ugly abusive practice. The more choice the company, the no pay or little pay you get. No matter the hate, having Noma on your resume opened doors. You have to play the game if you want to advance.I don't know why Noma is getting dog piled, when this happens in just about all industries that uses interns/assistants.

Love the satire.In 1980, the FTC staff was 1800.In 2022, the FTC staff was 1200.Our economy has grown 8x from 1980 to 2022.If money = free speech, and I have $100 and you have $1, then I have 100x more free speech (influence) than you do.The really funny part is that big corporations are playing Jenga at this point. Extracting so much from their own companies (share buy backs, ie legalized stock price manipulation) and crippling the middle class (ie their customers), that they're weakening the system upon which their wealth is built. And so many execs have grown up during this decades-long farce, they don't see it. Good business practice is about building sound,'innovative companies through reinvesting retained earnings, attracting and keep great employees (by actually compensating them and treating them well, not by chaining them in place), and knowing the difference between good management and PR.A small business owner would run most corporations better than their current crop of CEOs who are so afraid of competition that they chain fry cooks to their grills via the farce that non-competes have become.

Most of the regular us citizens can’t afford a 400 dollar emergency charge. They for sure, then, don’t have retirement accounts. Without social security and Medicare people will just… never retire? Or become completely destitute when their bodies give out I guess. This will happen even faster in red states where more blue collar workers have very physically demanding jobs. Their bodies already give out in their 40s and 50s. What frustratingly narrow and shortsighted nonsense.

David Henry My wife and I purchased a Santa Fe PHEV last year for $43,500 out the door. We got a $500 factory rebate and will get about 5k back on taxes with the applicable tax credit. We got 9k selling our old car. The battery and it's components have a 100,000 mile warranty. Toyota has a 150,000 mile warranty on their battery/electric parts. The lowest milage we got was a road trip in the mountains in straight hybrid mode we got 31mpg. On a flat road trip we get about 34-35mpg. On our most resent around town trip, we are at 116mpg with about 1/4 tank of gas used so far. $29k for a nice ride and great gas milage, ain't bad.

Two months ago, three fighters for Russia were found guilty of downing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 in 2014, killing 298 innocents. Putin's Russia has long been a "state sponsor of terrorism," even worse than the four nations with the official designation -- Syria, Iran, NK, and Cuba -- who commit their atrocities with Putin's vocal, financial, and military support. Putin engineered the war crimes in Syria that flooded Europe with millions of refugees on the heels of the Great Recession, ushering in the short-lived failure of fake populism that stuck the world with Brexit, Trump and a string of other Putinites with empty promises at home and open concessions to Russia abroad. Putin's war against the West started long ago, and Ukraine is not the first to suffer from his war crimes. But they should be his last. Not only does Ukraine, the West, the world and Russia all deserve to be free of Putin and his global crime syndicate masquerading as a government, we're also past the point of being able to afford it.We need to all face this Truth. Stop fooling around, give Ukraine what it needs, end this war and end Putin.Russia, if you're listing, find some courage and make the right choice democratically.

The greatest impediment to this recommendation is that government at the state and federal level is a pyramid scheme where credentialing has become a pipeline provided by particular universities and K-Street has become a clearing house to accrue wealth. According to "ballotpedia" the average net worth for a member of Congress is over 1 million dollars. The right wing zealots like Gaetz and MTG are all millionaires who make money off their crazy because average citizens give it to them. according to "open secrets" politicians spent around 9 billion dollars campaigning in 2022. There are so many people getting rich off of our political lunacy including lobbyists, politicians, and media entities. Do you think they would bother to give all of that up to make better lives for the rest of us? Perhaps the saddest part is that we continue to put these grifters the office.
