trump couldn't protect those coal jobs.


Maybe with a 150% excise tax on natural gas? That would make coal much more competitive.

FREE trip to Wellington, NZ.

If you have any high tech background and a desire for a job in Wellington's booming high tech firms, you can apply for a free ticket and free tours of Wellington.

Good luck to him. There are several blogs about Americans traveling to New Zealand and also Americans permanently relocating to New Zealand. Some rural crime problems and troubles with indigenous people but not likely to be a problem in the techie corridor in Wellington. Earthquakes.... but not much you can do about that anywhere. Some vocabulary differences though. And rember.... traffic is on the LEFT.

Do not try to import any wood, including in shipping pallets. Visa paperwork is important. Airplane passengers get sprayed with insecticide, I think.

It is starting to look like that massively successful failed raid in Yemen that produced an unbelievable amount of intelligence... didn't. At least, if you were expecting "unbelievable" to mean "unbelievably large.".

The raid produced headlines. For many, that was the goal.

People can now lease dogs and cats!

Yet another reason I have so little hope for USA Society. Instead of going to the dog pound, people are leasing dogs!

Although I'm not in the market for a dog, I find rescue or pound dogs perfectly adequate. These high priced dogs, no way.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

I wonder if leasing a dog or a cat would be legal in San Francisco?
