"Covid-19 is here to stay. To prove it, the virus is surging in many places around the world — just as immunity from vaccinations is waning and most people have gotten used to life without masks and social distancing."

1. I'm not going to get vaccinated.
2. I'm not going to wear a mask.

Neither does anything to prevent COVID.

"Florida students could have new college admission testing option other than SAT, ACT"

"....they do say the test takes less time than the SAT, is less-focused on test-taking techniques, doesn't allow a calculator and can be taken online. There are often passages based on religion."

This is just beyond dumb.

<redacted> administration changes <redacted>-era rule, will ban liquefied natural gas on trains.

<redacted> canceled all of the Alaska drilling on Federal land. At the same time he stopped allowing liquid natural gas from being transported by train.

That leaves the only mode of transportation by trucking. About 2 months ago the largest trucking company went out of business:

Yellow, one of the nation's largest freight and trucking companies, announced it is shutting down, leading to one of the largest mass layoffs in recent history and potential shipping cost increases. The company is in bankruptcy just three years after getting a $700 million loan from taxpayers.

So that is going to create a massive supply chain issue of liquid natural gas which means your utility bills as well as the price of gas is going to skyrocket.

<redacted> used 300 million gallons of gas from our reserves to keep the gas prices artificially low. They can't do that anymore. They have set us up in every way to purposely make gas prices and utility prices skyrocket, so fill all of your gas cans, buy propane ect NOW while you can still afford it.

Y’all can thank me later.

Wrecking the country. :mad: There will be no middle class. Everyone will be a surf. End up like the coal miners of the late 1800's and 1900's. Have to buy all of your stuff at the company store. I still remember them.
