Reading book that mentions early detection of COVID-19 in sewage that includes summary of early days of detection, outbreak. Brought me back to those days like a tide and I thought wow, I lived thru that.
And I had this sudden soothing thought:
Someday these days, too, will be in a history book

This Hubble image shows massive stars in Gum 29, which are unleashing ultraviolet light and hurricane-force winds that etch away the enveloping gas cloud.
The result? Pillars, ridges, and filaments of gas and dust!

They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.

I assume you can afford to live in any other country in the world, why do you choose to live in the US at this time?

Just a legal historian here reminding everyone that “high crimes and misdemeanors” do not need to be felonies.
They can include political abuses and stupidity, like, hypothetically, destroying the economy and wiping out people’s savings in 3 days.

The problem is: they've mistaken correlation for causation. They think their parents and grandparents had a good life *because* of manufacturing jobs. When, in reality, their parents and grandparents had a good life *despite* manufacturing jobs, because of unions, high taxes, and social policies.

If a deranged president intentionally destroying the country's economy with a ludicrous obsession (and misunderstanding) of tariffs *isn't* justification for invoking the 25th Amendment, I honestly can't imagine any scenario that would be.

We tried mass tariffs in 1828, and it crashed the economy. We tried again in 1930, and it crashed the economy.
