The other day I saw this bad news. I have been very serious about not eating out. I still do take-out and had ordered from Cindy's once they re-opened, but since my main interest in going there wasn't so much the food, but the ambiance (and eating restaurant food is a luxury for me anyway), I wasn't a frequent visitor.

It took me this long to find out we lost one of the few remaining old-style coffee shops (not café) I knew of. #DavisCA

Ignoring total net worth for a moment, America's billionaires combined saw an increase of their net worth of 1.5 trillion between March of 2020 and Nov 2022. They don't need to be making any more money, and taking any further increase from them would not stop the economy. Divide just their income up amongst the homeless (582k in the US in 2022) and you get 2.5 million per homeless person. That's sick.

Being a billionaire is immoral. They are all sociopaths.

Innovation does not require consolidation of capital and power around a few already wealthy oligarchs, and in fact is often hindered by it

“Following the loss of the #Kakhovka reservoir, actions have been taken to stabilise the site’s water resources, which are currently sufficient for several months of its cooling req'ments in the current conditions,” Director Gen. Grossi said.
“However, the challenges the site has been facing in this regard are further adding to the generally precarious nuclear safety & security situation at Europe’s largest #nuclear power plant...”

I think I've shared the story before how, a few weeks after the 2016 election and a series of tornadoes ravaged the southern US, it dawned on me that a President (i.e. Trump) could actively withhold federal aid during a natural disaster. Hurricane Katrina showcased Bush's incompetence in 2005, but Trump was easily more dangerous. I realized that we had to be better prepared to fend for ourselves, and I started looking into prepping.

Can anyone give me an idea of how old this little fellow might be? And, as an adjunct, a sense of how worried I should be about him?

(Already pretty worried, to be frank! Found him looking lost and forlorn at our local park. He did not want to leave our side.)

Here's a random fact: Penguins have an organ above their eyes called the supraorbital gland that filters out excess salt from their bloodstream.
