In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes.
The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last.
The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes.
Why?
It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

It is such a stain on this nation that people are still contracting HIV through injection drug use. And to make matters worse, the federal government has now abandoned local communities in their efforts to address this public health crisis.
Maine sought federal help amid its largest HIV outbreak in state history. It’s still waiting
After initially approving Penobscot County's request for CDC aid, the agency put it on hold. Meanwhile, the virus spreads.

Catherine my good bitch you guys are the only ones who do not know where the Republicans stand
Steve Inskeep: You think the Republicans voting with you here will not only agree to these measures, but actually try to do something if the administration ignores them?
Sen Cortez Masto: If they go back on their word, then the American public will know where the Republicans stand.

If the UK had surrendered halfway through the Blitz, many lives would have indeed been saved. But many more would have been lost under Nazi occupation AND THAT'S WHY YOU DON'T SURRENDER TO FASCISTS!
Nothing about this deal tonight seems like a negotiated peace of any sort. Just a capitulation.

Breaking: 8 Democrats vote to end shutdown, clearing the way for health care premiums to soar for 20 million and for millions more to lose care under Medicaid. Democrats have lost any leverage that once had - a catastrophe for the party and the nation.

...shot themselves in both feet and then right through the heart.
Trump is 30 points underwater. Dems swept the special elections. People know the GOP is responsible for the shutdown. So the Dem Senators pulled out their big guns... and shot themselves in the foot.
