Trump cancels deal on 4 Snake River dams--putting tribes in charge of salmon recovery, seeking alternative energy sources--that Biden negotiated in 2023 to end 30+ yrs of litigation, uncertainty, and cost. The odds of this not plunging the region back into the morass that everyone hates seem tiny.

At first this sounds like a classic case of off-shoring.

It's not! Grinding peanuts up into peanut butter is a highly automated job! It can be scaled way up to minimize costs per lb of peanut butter.

That's exactly the kind of job that countries w high labor costs, like the US, should excel at.

It's a very good project:
I’ve supported the Fund for Authentic Journalism for 20 years with time and money.

The planned Salon for Authentic Journalism, described below, is supported by the nonprofit 501c3 Fund. Donations are tax-deductible.

$5 or $10 from many makes it reality. I’ll report back here on what I learn.

I'm of the unorthodox opinion that the average schmo is good, honest, and frisky.

The problem is the below-average schmo lies, cheats, and steals to climb ahead.

To defeat them we need above-average Jedi types to cancel them out.

Meet them here, and tip them handsomely: youtu.be/xV2oBE2ntDo?...

They also hate dogs, babies, fun, laughter, and gin. So let's flog the haters with the shillelagh of movement-building!
