There's a YA Heinlein book called Podkayne of Mars. There's a 'sweet old lady' character in it, who is a Very Bad Villain. One character never trusted her and had figured her out early on. Because they saw her cheat at solitaire.

High prices are bad enough, but when wage growth stops keeping pace with inflation, it’s even worse. It’s time to end tax incentives for businesses that fail to pay a living wage or provide cost of living adjustments for their workers.

Even when I lived 10 miles outside of Minneapolis I didn't feel the need to own a car because the public transit was frequent, reliable, and affordable. When I moved back to Milwaukee, I could not imagine doing the same without dedicating a large amount of my time to transportation. Busses are good.

A tree sitter has returned to the remaining cottonwood in Lochiel, which has its roots to the south of the old wall but overhangs the route of the new one
we see a large and beautiful cottonwood, hung with homemade banners decrying the border wall and with a canopy high up in the branches.

The Admin routinely lies about the circumstances of these detentions, as evidenced by the fact that less than half of U.S. citizens detained for assault/obstruction of immigration officials were charged, and even many of those that were charged ultimately saw those charges dropped or dismissed.

They claim it’s not happening, but it most definitely is. At least 506 U.S. citizens have been detained by immigration enforcement agents during Trump’s second term. Among them have been dozens of children, some of whom were actually deported.

For those of you who are not old enough the "sex scandal" is he & a male cohost drugged & raped the 21-year-old church secretary & paid her to be quiet about it with money from the church. (They denied it was rape but at the very least it was abuse of power by an employer) THAT IS NOT A SEX SCANDAL
