The world will be destroyed by two things, it seems to me: greed and violence... That’s why great spiritual teachers will always teach you to live a simple life, to not take more than your share, so that communion and community, brotherhood and sisterhood, are possible.

The murders of Charlie Kirk and Minnesota state representative Melissa Hortman are part of a dangerous rise in political violence.
We cannot accept this as the norm.
We must do whatever we can to reduce the anger and hate that are consuming and destroying so much of the country.

US deficit grows to $291 billion in July despite surge in tariff revenue
The U.S. government's budget deficit grew nearly 20% in July to $291 billion despite a $21 billion jump in customs duty collections from President Donald Trump's tariffs, with outlays growing faster than receipts, the Treasury Department said on Tuesday.

First, they said postponed; now the meeting is canceled. That means no flu shots next year.
“'It’s a six-month production cycle,' Dr. Offit said. 'So one can only assume that we’re not picking flu strains this year.'"
Fundamentally, that's a form of mass murder.
