You'd have to be insane to install an unvented gas appliance -- heater, water heater, stove, oven -- in your home, yet they are commonplace. (And vented gas isn't all that much better.)

And what about people whose hair turned grey after receiving their driver's license with hair color BRN? Asking for a friend.

Does anyone know how to reconstruct the accounting trail to see how much is owed each retail customer? If the rebates go to a middleman what's the point, they've already been paid for the imported product.

MAGA types I know (2 of them) have quietly backed away from their preoccupation with pedophilia and the Files completely and have refocused on "illegals" and people of color getting government bennies. (Wondering if they were all that concerned about pedo in the first place.)

Walking the grocery store aisles and reading the sodium and added sugar in packaged products you'd think someone is out to kill us.

From the MapPorn community on Reddit: What Washington DC's statehood could look like Explore this post and more from the MapPorn community

If people understood that DC statehood is proposed only for the residential and commercial areas outside the inner federal area there would be much more support. Concern about a state government controlling federal facilities drives much of the opposition. www.reddit.com/r/MapPorn/co...

Yes. Cutting FTE's is not the same as cutting budgets. The tasks are just reassigned to contractors, who have less oversight as a result of the loss of federal positions. Been there, done that.

It's Fox's U.S. corporate sponsors that give Russia's "Internet Research Agency" a Trojan horse directly into the homes of low information voters, who believe they are watching News.

In 1960, the tax on income over $200k was 90%. Today, 37% on income over $600k. Back then there were still some very rich people, mansions and yachts but hardly any "billionaires," John Beresford Tipton notwithstanding.

I saw this dumbed-down report on CNN this morning. No info on polling methodology, actual results, margin of error at different confidence levels, or even where the numbers come from. I've not been contacted by a pollster in over 30 years, making me wonder who exactly is being polled.

Younger people don't remember when major cities in the U.S. had yellow domes over them, clearly visible from the air. Aside from climate change, air pollution should be a concern to everyone who breathes.

Forgive my confusion, but there does not appear to be any accounting trail to determine how much each person paid in tariffs. How will they make refunds equitably other than giving each person or each adult a fixed dollar amount?

Bad news guys. They failed to set up an accounting trail to reconstruct who ultimately paid the tax at the retail level. So any rebate windfall would go to middlemen who already covered the sunk costs thru higher prices.

Our dilemma is trying to shoehorn a national health care program into an commercial insurance structure just so industry execs and shareholders can get a piece of the pie. The ACA is better than nothing, but we should see it for what it is and continue to strive for a single payer system.

Bingo. The Nazis built their camps initially to round up Communist terrorists, which were a big violent problem at the time. There was wide public support for this. Once accomplished, however, they expanded the scope of the mission strongly.

The information still won't register until it is printed on your sales receipt, like the state sales tax.

Cultured meat lost its sizzle, but it's finally finding a place in the food world The rapid disruption of agriculture that accompanied the early days of the industry didn't pan out. Now the post-hype path for cultured meat involves filling gaps in the food world.

They underwrite most TV news programs to make producers think twice about critical coverage of the industry.

The "integrated bar," a non-governmental entity, is granted extraordinary powers to regulate the conduct of officers of the court. If they can no longer discipline high profile rogue lawyers, that authority should be returned to state licensing boards.
