I currently work as an IT system administrator for Mendocino County Sheriff's Office. Love going for a walk or fish along the coast and just soak in the beauty of Mother Earth. Our ocean, birds, flowers, food fill me with peace and hope every day.

Could make arguments either way on whether this is a direct violation of Article I, Sect. 10, Clause 3. Not that I oppose it. Time for states to start exercising authority in weird ways, regardless of whether they have such authority.

This is what we need across all seas. Europe needs to have a much more active role and here we see how easily it can be done.

The one Davos speech that will
be remembered is Carney‘s for how it marked the end of one era and the beginning of another.
When we have to invent the future, we often realise we also have to re-interpret the past, which ls what Carney did.
