Illinois does that. I’m paraphrasing but it’s like: We think you made a mistake on your tax filing so we corrected it and changed your refund. If you believe this is an error, please contact us.
I was wrong. They were right.

When Weird Al Yankovic asked Cobain about doing a parody of “Smells Like Teen Spirit”, Cobain asked if it was going to be a song about food.
Yankovic said “No, it’s going to be a song about how nobody can understand your lyrics.“
Cobain thought that was funny and gave his ok.

Along that line you’d also be interested in the Laconia incident.
Undoubtedly, these types of events are why the Geneva convention included a rule about rescuing shipwreck survivors.

Putin reminds me of Æsop’s fable of the Wolf and the Lamb, where the wolf’s pretexts for eating the lamb keep being disproven.
“Well, then,” snarled the Wolf, “… no matter who it was, I do not intend to be talked out of my breakfast.”
Moral
The tyrant can always find an excuse for his tyranny.

We’ve forgotten what these preventable diseases look like. They should show it on the news, or on healthcare professionals funded PSAs (since our govt won’t). Remind us that survival could still mean life with a debilitating condition.

“Rubio in a statement said he was closing the State Department's Counter Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference office, previously known as the Global Engagement Center.”

P.S. The “USA is too large for socialized medicine” argument is spurious. China (1.4 billion), India (1.4 billion), and Brazil (215 million) all have socialized medicine. We’re Americans. We’re smart enough to figure it out. It’s a question of desire.

We should look at it. Canada spends about 10% of it‘s GDP on healthcare, the USA is 17%. Our system is inefficient and a crap-shoot, pick the wrong coverage and it’s going to cost you.

For example, an 8-pound turkey would take about 1 to 2 minutes to cook at this speed, but this is purely theoretical and not practical for real-world cooking scenarios.

However, without specifying the oven's temperature, the general rule for cooking a turkey is about 12 to 13 minutes per pound at 325°F. Therefore, if you were to cook a turkey at 60 mph, the cooking time would be extremely brief, potentially within seconds, depending on the oven's
