We’ve now reached the “yelling at the TV” portion of election season. “Biden sent millions of dollars to China instead of creating jobs right here in NC…”
“Assholes! He passed the Infrastructure Act! That act earmarked $2.1 billion for more jobs and infrastructure in NC!”
They can’t hear me. 🙄

It's like 2 band billiard when you are the first speaker: you need to score your points and then on your last strike need to leave the balls in such positions that your opponent can't score effectively.

In the ten days since I wrote something titled "Everywhere Is Under Water" about flooding in Romania/Poland/etc, Nigeria/Chad/west Africa, and Vietnam/Myanmar/nearby, OTHER flooding has killed more than 20 in parts of Mexico, around 150 in Nepal, and at least 66 in the US thanks to Helene.
I wrote this a bit more than a week ago, before Helene but after OTHER flooding spread across four continents, and, well...
"This last week or two, though, seems more like a blunt-force proof of an entire premise, 'a warmer atmosphere can hold more moisture' writ large across the continents."
