Interesting to see the word "slightly" used to refer to a distance of 2 billion miles:

Very clear piece on the nature of trade between US & Canada and the so-called "subsidisation" of Canada by the US.
IMPORTANT: If you live in the United States or Canada, you’ve probably heard Trump‘s constant claim that the United States is “subsidizing” Canada. It’s wrong of course, but here’s the best explanation I’ve seen about how & why it’s wrong. PLEASE WATCH & SHARE IT A LOT. Kudos to Andrew Chang & CBC.

My latest short story was spiked by the Spotify AI, a decision then reversed by another AI, so it's back.
It's a comedic tale about good intentions, rash promises, lying and redemption. If you prefer RIY (Read It Yourself): gerrygaffney.com/stories/Ashes.html
