Cripes. This houses the 91-cm refractor, nearly 140 years old. I hope the damage to the dome and telescope isn't as severe as it looks.
Powerful Christmas Day winds gusting up to 114 mph severely damaged UC Lick Observatory on Mount Hamilton, forcing the nearly 140-year-old facility to close while officials headquartered at UC Santa Cruz assess structural damage and begin repairs expected to take months.

SNAP benefits should be universal, with zero means testing, and generous.
Even from a purely capitalist perspective this would benefit the economy massively.
