To pay off $3B in STAR bonds, all increased future sales and liquor tax proceeds across much of two counties will be siphoned off to pay the Chiefs stadium bill; Kansans across the whole state will bear the cost of replacing that money in the state budget.

Forget $3B+, actual Chiefs stadium subsidy is $4B+, according to calculations by the national expert in sports tax breaks. (Clark Hunt would only get ~$3.3B of this, but there's also money that has to go to bond buyers, banks, etc.)
Ouch. Current est of public resources to the Chiefs is $6.3b (nom) and $4.1b (real). I assume the $2.775b "cap" is all debt financed. Cost comes down if state uses cash. Cap is not what is owed to bond holders but what the state commits to project. $6.3b is rivaled by DC deal for the Commanders.

Yesterday the President fell asleep, yet again, during a televised fake Cabinet meeting staged so that each of his courtiers could heap praise on him, praise for which he couldn't stay conscious. He woke up just long enough to spew racism. Why is this not being treated as an emergency? >

A *huge* vaccine victory. I've been writing on this for years; Australia has seen remarkable progress in cervical cancer prevention with the HPV vaccine. I love seeing science triumph like this.
Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s.
This is the power of vaccines.
The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer.
Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!

Vaccination programs have played a key role, and GPs remain ‘instrumental’ in boosting screening rates to reach the 2035 target.

Finally finished Invasion season 3 on Apple TV... Can we just put this show out of its misery? I can articulate why it doesn't work for me and I think that's the problem.
It did make me think of how good a Mercy of the Gods show could be. But will it need Apple money rather than Amazon?
