Linked article: Remember that July 2021 flight at Spaceport America that had Sir Richard Branson on board? Virgin Galactic didn't report what went wrong for a few weeks--the flight went off course. Investors sued, and won, claiming the company exaggerated flight safety, jacking stock prices that subsequently fell.
We’ve heard accusations that the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation food distribution in Gaza attracts starving people to dangerous locations where they become targets, but these were just suppositions based just on shooting events. Now evidence has been gathered to show that these shootings are intentional and that Americans participate in them.
The media and the Democrats have been treating the B3 as if it were a budget bill. It is not. It is a demonstration of how corporate business works when it becomes a government. Perhaps, it’s time to say how a business differs from a state.
Some people think that "Born in the USA" was a patriotic song. Do some people think "Made in the USA" is a patriotic slogan? If so, maybe they should think about how today, words say just the opposite of what they mean, like "offense is the best defense," etc.
Two days ago, @realDonaldTrump posted a glorification of ICE activities in Los Angeles. I analyze the writing to look for the real Donald Trump and what he is really saying to us as he advocates for an expansion of deportation.
This article is a long comment on Kathleen Sloan's analysis, "New Mexico Copper Corporation will still use a lot of water" (https://sierracountycitizen.org/new-mexico-copper-corporation-will-still-use-a-lot-of-water/).
I apologize for not getting this bit of news out until now when it is no longer new. Texas's lawsuit against New Mexico for allowing groundwater wells in our area to syphon off water in the Rio Grande that belongs to Texas may end in a settlement.
Yesterday, Haaretz, a leading Israeli newspaper, reported that two Israeli soldiers were killed in Gaza. That makes eight soldiers killed in the last two months. I try to think about what that means, especially since now that the military situation in Gaza gets less and less coverage in the media.
The past winter was not kind to us, and we are faced with water shortage in the Rio Grande this summer. I link to several descriptions of where we are and what is predicted. Impacts will be important for farmers, ranchers, recreational businesses. We might get sued again by Texas.
High cost of home insurance is here to stay. I link to several recent articles on homeowners' insurance, its relation to climate change, its relation to banking, to construction, to real estate, to what the state is doing about this problem. I try to explain those relationships.
Trump supporters say his policies may hurt in the short-term but will bring jobs and economic security to the country. I respond to this in three ways: an AI generated meme traveling around the world, a poem ("Arbeit macht frei"), and a historical note on the poem's title.
The Sierra County Arts Council is hosting a number of events this summer and has released a poster that details many of their activities and other happenings you'll want to check out.
