Each myth is contiguous in each episode rather than being interweaved. Much more satisfying.

Replace it with Melissa Hortman or John Hoffman.

Just give up and get streamlined mythbusters. Easier to watch anyway.

Burning stuff seems to be on the minds of lots of people today. On September 10, Bloomberg contributor Mark Gongloff, whose resumé includes stories for Fortune, Huffington Post, and the Wall Street Journal, penned a piece with another startling headline, this one being:

“The US Is Giving Away $35 Billion a Year to Cook the Planet”

Why would America do that? Because the beneficiaries have the government in their pocket? That is one possible explanation. If that sounds more like a Mafia shakedown than a government, you’re not far wrong. The price of US government subsidies for the fossil fuel industry has more than doubled in the last eight years, Gongloff wrote, and added, “Welfare for an industry that makes billions of dollars in profits and pollutes the climate is worse than useless. It’s self-destructive.”

Once and a while I go to the Movies and often end up asking why I thought it was a good idea to pay exorbitant prices for the 30 mins of mixed ads/previews, all for a cliche plot of yet another reboot. Which inspires me to not go to the movies for another 6 months or year, and just go for a run outside.

Can you say more on your point on local or allied production? I haven’t kept up, but last I heard the domestic US production of chips is many years away and likely to be generations older than Taiwan can produce. I was under the impression that these production lines take many many years to set up and train people for, unlike some manufacturing.

As a journalist in Afghanistan, Abdul says he helped promote American values like democracy and freedom. That work, he said, resulted in him being tortured by the Taliban after the US withdrew from the country in 2021.

Now he’s in California applying for political asylum, amid the looming threat of deportation.

“We trusted those values,” he said. “We came here for safety, and we don’t have it, unfortunately.”

But when Abdul walked into a San Diego court to plead his case, he wasn’t alone.

Ten veterans showed up for his hearing – unarmed, but dressed in hats and shirts to signify their military credentials as a “show of force”, said Shawn VanDiver, a US Navy vet who founded ‘Battle Buddies’ to support Afghan refugees facing deportation.

“Masked agents of the federal government are snatching up our friends, people who took life in our name and have done nothing wrong,” he said.

Approximately 200,000 Afghans relocated to the US after Kabul fell to the Taliban in August 2021, as the US left the country in chaos after two decades fighting the war on terror.

Many say they quickly felt embraced by Americans, who recognised the sacrifices they had made to help the US military and fight for human rights.

But since the Trump administration has terminated many of the programmes which protected them from deportation, Afghans now fear they will be deported and returned to their home country, which is now controlled by the Taliban.

Could happen to a more obnoxious company… Support the farmers and give them a right to repair, maybe farmers across the world will pay the expense.

Especially a utility of all things.
