"Green" infrastructure is the thing forward-thinking cities put in to address storm-water runoff. Nowhere in sight in T or C's master downtown drainage plan.
I link to an informative article on the Presidential order outlawing the siloing of personal data by various governmental agencies. Around this news, I weave comments on the kind of thinking that leads to this prohibition and what that tells us about our loss of a government.
It's business as usual in this country. Since the country is now a business, we look at how planning is a necessary part of any business, and we conclude that what looks like chaos is actually planned (as Secretary Kennedy claimed), visionary, even with a 20% error rate.
Trump's disdain for the woke and immigrants, in combination with his professed unlimited executive powers, has unleashed ICE to target dissidents, intellectuals, artists, scientists, educators and journalists. Border Patrol check stations are to be avoided.
Spending the $3 million in bond revenues, to be done right--to leverage grant and loan money by providing required cash matches the city wouldn't have on hand otherwise--requires a lot of planning and coordination.
The godfather has two godsons: Elon Musk, his court jester, and JD Vance, his thinker. Together, they give the godfather the appearance of majestic distance as they replace the state nationally and internationally with a corporate business. Today, I look at an Executive Order teaching us to think corporately.
Could our city commission make it any harder to drive the I-25 business loop? First the three-ring-circus roundabouts and now a “road diet” obstacle course downtown.
I am posting a link to an article on why we have Medicare, how private health insurance attacked Medicare, how Medicare Advantage turned Medicare into private profit at the expense of patient health, and the probable end of Medicare under its new director. I add my opinionated comments
Several thousand people in Sierra County receive Social Security checks every month. Elon Musk's DOG-es retrieved personal information from Social Security's computer system. A court ordered that breech of government security stopped. In response, Social Security threated to shut the whole system down. Now the Commerce Secretary has weighed in.
The President's attack Dog-e often mentions that he has Asperger Syndrome. What does this actually mean, and why should we think about it?
Want to put a single-family dwelling less than 500 square feet on your lot? The city commission just made it a lot easier, even though it's not allowed in city code.
Over the next three years the city will take on about $45 million in water projects.
