Yes. And blockade incoming supplies. Or . . . if this is possible, impose a huge tariff on incoming supplies. 😄

Visited by thousands of insects looking for food in the early spring.

That they are having to take such a measure is infuriating. Why aren't they kicking the U.S. off the base and out of the country?

I get why, but I still think that should be one of their first actions. You want back here, you need to meet our terms and provide securities.

Can you provide a link, a book, or whatever might exist that explains this further? I'm interested.

Yes, that is one of the drawbacks to this idea.

And yet, even though he should be dead by now, he still lives. We keep waiting, and so far he's survived stroke, dementia, and who knows what else? "Only the good die young."

We want him to live so that when we ensure that we have a sane government again he will be tried for so many war crimes, so many laws broken, so many egregious actions that he will spend the rest of his miserable life in a prison cell. A quick death is too good for him.

There are problems with our current windmills. Weighing the destruction, or pollution they cause compared to other factors, I think we should find better ways of capturing wind energy, but don't throw out the baby with the dirty water.

Antibiotics. Antivirals.

I will add computers, but with so many conditions attached.

Sewing machines, looms, vacuums, washing machines, refrigerators, and so many other time-saving devices are worthwhile.

All of these and so many more items connect to our materialism, our clamor for more, and more. We need an entire change in mindset, and we need to become aware of how our actions affect the world around us. *We* need to hold corporations and governments accountable. The change begins at the bottom.

The largest source of plastics in the ocean come from rivers that drain into the oceans.

Large parts of the world are desertifying. Many animals are either extinct or becoming extinct, happening in our lifetimes.

Western-diet-related diseases are growing around the world. Obesity is spreading.

California, the producer of a large percentage of foods, is losing their farm lands due to subsidence caused by 1. loss of water in aquifers from high demand, and 2. the extraction of oil reserves.

Certain nations have become huge waste receivers, receiving massive amounts of waste.
