There are 4 ironies in modern American life that I struggle greatly with.

Grateful to spend two days on the Klamath watching chinook, liberated by dam removal, return to streams from which they’d been precluded since the Titanic sank. Fish are everywhere, in numbers that stagger the mind & locations that biologists figured would take years to repopulate. Too beautiful.

📉🇭🇺 INVESTIGATION: Viktor Orbán vowed to boost Hungary’s population without immigrants. But births keep falling—and emigration is soaring. Direkt36's investigation shows many young people are leaving, posing serious risks for the country’s future.

The Prime Minister has long said that he would like to grow the population of Hungary without bringing in immigrants. Recently, births have fallen, but the number of people leaving the country has also soared.

We no longer allow commercials that show highly addictive things...right?

But, every damn sports event is encouraging gambling addicts to act out.

Trump is weak but SCOTUS is political and supports him. Congress is controlled by Republicans who also support him and abdicate any responsibility to govern.
So right now all 3 branches of our government are in enemy hands.
