Recently, I was thinking of how screwed up America’s fiscal policy has been over the past 45 years or so when I ordered a pizza the other night from one of the smaller chains. I don’t eat pizza a lot. Maybe six to eight times a year. Now, I don’t even put salty pepperoni on top, or order a supreme. I just order a veggie pizza, no olives, double mushrooms, extra cheese. Easy peasy.
China desperately wants more carbon-based energy. It has built islands in the South China Sea primarily to bolster its claim on underwater oil deposits. It is also drilling on its own land like mad and has the goal of shortly becoming energy self-sufficient. It wants to follow Donald Trump’s lead in that respect. Meanwhile, it continues to import vast quantities of coal (when its not refusing coal barges from Australia to protest the Aussies’ call for openness about the source of the CCP virus).
The Texas Department of Transportation wants motorists to be aware of dangerous conditions in road construction zones after crashes in those zones killed 244 people last year.
I don’t know what it is about some people, but personally, I’ve never had a problem apologizing. Even when I know I’m not in the wrong, if someone feels offended, I’ll usually say, “Sorry you feel that way.”
The conflict in Ukraine is unique in that Russia has misstated the reason for invading as well as the nature of the people they are attacking. Putin also has been careful not to show the folks at home the extent of the carnage he has produced. Video news footage has been replete with pictures of attack helicopters not attacking (as cameras focus on the sky above rather than on the explosions down below. Ukraine, on the other hand, is bent on informing the Russian people as to what is really going on. This has produced a war with an unusual emphasis on propaganda as well as news.
