What is odd about it? He has done similar.

It's thus true that the Trump administration axed the executive branch team responsible for coordinating a response to a pandemic and did not replace it, eliminating Ziemer's position and reassigning others, although Bolton was the executive at the top of the National Security Council chain of command at the time.

I remember hearing it on the news at the time.

I am not finding it, but the USA hada vaccine mass production facility on standby for years that Trump scuttled.

If your library has Libby (or similar), it can be interesting to read random "popular" books. I have found some good ones that way.

Just don't look at the title art, or read a description. Keeps things wild. (Time travel, end of world, or just lunch with friends? No idea.)

"Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine" is one example.

Article disputing attention crisis. Does not put "bottom line up front". Behind paywall. Archive formatted for much wider screen.

Maybe we don't need more attention? Maybe we need higher pay so we don't need distractions?

Will read later on a computer. Maybe

My phone keyboard is bad. Fantastically bad. I suck at proofreading, but shit is it bad.

Anyway, cleaning up my terrible editing. Thanks for highlighting it. 😀

Just cross check souces before acting.

And write down who said what. Then you can check later and eliminate the bad sources.

Fake drug trials and corner cutting are hinted at. (Imagine being treated with fake medication?) Truly terrible.

Great article.

Jealous/envious of me? No.

Impressed by me? Yes.

Inspired by me? Double Yes.

Learn a cautionary tale from me? No.

Edit: proofreading better...

Makes on wonder if the larger oil and gas companies and countries are intentionally delaying the transition away. They could buy raw materials to get prices high. They could buy companies to lock up patents and scuttle products.

They have been non-credibly accused of such since the 1960's and have been "making investments" at least since the 2000's.

I go outside. Learning to dress warmly is a skill. Makes me feel less stuck.

Lamps and light everywhere. A stupid amount of light. More than you are thinking.
