If Fani was focused on justice, she would have recused herself and allowed her case to continue. Instead, after the Ga. Supreme Court eventually ends the thing, she will not even have much of a vetted left.

Or, more probably, the cost of reaching a location will be reflected in the postage cost. It does not cost the same to send a UPS package 20 miles vs 200 miles. Ideally, costs fall for some, rise for others.
Let’s be clear. Privatization of the post office will mean some addresses simply will not be covered because they are unprofitable. Think of it like our private healthcare system.

I am mostly happy with the blanket commutation of sentences of casual drug users. It would be even nicer if presidents did such actions when first elected, rather than four years later.

From my hapless rep. The Pentagon has failed SEVEN AUDITS IN A ROW! Zero congressional action. Instead we see this smiling nonsense.

A very smart friend of mine posted this meme- we have all seen this stuff for years, always without documentation. After I questioned it, he did the research and discovered the meme is completely bogus. People are probably reading more, in many formats, today.

Merkel is in the news these days. While she did not single-handedly ruin Germany’s energy system (and contribute to their current economic crises) she was certainly a prime mover.

Ok, the pardon is a bad look, and Hunter is … not a great guy. But the law he was convicted of breaking is a BS law that should not carry prison penalties for anyone.

Movie review in the NYT have become increasingly off-base to me over the years. The Anatolia seem to confuse art and activism unattractivly. But rating Metropolis as a Years’s Best indicates that the paper needs to instill better drug testing procedures.

When the Civil Air Board was shut down, over 100 new airlines came into existence, safety records improved, and travel costs dropped. If we lose the Dept of Education, expect better test scores, better paid teachers, and happier low-income families.

Getting this spam text reminded me that it was not uncommon for 20% or more of on-line reviews in China to be paid fakes. Now they want fake reviews for US consumers.

I worked with import products for years. Whenever the US thought that duties and tariffs would solve an import problem, it just shifted and grew bigger.

I see that if we eliminated the Dept of Education, the value of the savings could give every teacher in the country a $74k raise.
