USDA withdraws a plan to limit salmonella levels in raw poultry The Agriculture Department says it is withdrawing a plan to limit salmonella bacteria in poultry products.

FINALLY ending deep state efforts to limit American's access to tainted poultry!

Looking back, the choice was obvious to them. Looking forward now, many are getting the feeling that they are screwed no matter who they might have choson.

Nothing is more important than feeding, clothing and housing their families. And on-the-edge voters had to choose. A fuzzy "opportunity economy" message from a non-business person. Or a set of targeted "pocketbook" promises delivered by someone they percieved to be a hyper-successful businessman.

But those living on the economic edge don't have assets to fall back on, and to them a "reset" can be catastrophic. Missed rent. Late car payments. Choosing between healthcare and groceries. These people elected a President to help with with day-to-day affordability problems.

Our wealthy betters calmly nod to the possibility of a "reset" recession. An unfortunate but temporary necessity on the path to an amazing economy, they say. Inflation means their eggs cost more but their real estate and equity assets have increased in value more than 80% over the past 4 years.

A pathocracy is a form of government where a small group of people with personality disorders hold power over a society of people who are psychologically normal.

A pathocracy can emerge when a society is not sufficiently protected against a minority of people with abnormal pathology.

I've only engaged with a few dozen (out of 1.4 billion) Indians this week, but as as a whole they are a living testament to the resilience of pluralism, where countless faiths coexist. (Plus the occasional atheist). Many lessons for the rest of us. To not merely tolerate but enrich one another.

Have to admit, the first time I traveled to India I was kind of "judgy" about the traffic. But if you take the time to really observe, you see a marvel of human collaboration and resilience, showing how people adapt to work within complex environments to make progress, literally and figuratively.

Previous travel to India has been overwhelming, packed with business tasks. This time, I'm aiming for a slower, more extended visit to absorb and experience as much as possible. Still lots of work to do, but looking forward to immersing myself in the rich culture and really "see" as much as I can.

Leaving Banff, Canada and the incomperable Fairmont hotel after facilitating "Strategic Sales Leadership" for the amazing folks at Jacuzzi Group. Their commitment to excellence in products and customer experiences is truly world class. #Banff #Jacuzzi #Leadership

After reading that Neil deGrasse Tyson says "Moonfall" beats "Armageddon" in violating more laws of physics per minute, I had to watch it. It was bonkers. But entertaining if you just watch the visuals and mute all of the horrible dialogue.

"What would Elon do?"
quote from the 2022 Roland Emmerich scifi "Moonfall"
AND the 2025 Donald Trump goofball comedy "White House."

We could use more authenticity energy. And competence energy. And empathy energy. And whether the energy source in masculine or feminine, doesn't matter.

Donald Trump Jr. arrives in Nuuk, Greenland. Remember when Carter's "Billy Beer" was a scandal? (if not, Google it) Seems like quaint minor league corruption by today's standards.

The fact that Thomas, Alito, Goesuch and Kavanaugh "would grant the application" is a shameful stain on their reputations and reveals just how political this supreme court is.

Agree. Never will I mix lobster into mac & cheese.

"Hey lady you are messing with the wrong carny whore!"

Best line from Goliath season 3. Illeana Douglas as Rita.

Prompted by the opening a recent news story, I Googled the term "Trump Falsely" just to see the number of search results.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer.
Many right-leaning Christians admire him. Driven by faith he gave his life to fight Nazi brutality.
I wonder today, regarding poor immigrants, whatever their documentation status, WWBD, what would Bonhoeffer do?

Looking back on 2024, the most important advancement I experienced was peppered bacon with a hint of honey.

We've got to hear more of these stories, and I agree... tear it all down.

My goal in 2024 was to lose 10 pounds. Only 15 more to go!

But isn't being out in the crowd part of "the experience?" Otherwise you're just paying a LOT for mozzerala sticks, nachos and wings.
