Why are banks allowed to have shareholders at all? Doing so only serves to privatize the gains, and then, when a bank goes too far in maximizing shareholder returns, socialize the losses.

The US is a place where we make children pay for school lunches and shame them when they can't, but where the CEO of Roku – who gets paid $18M per year – gets a government bailout after leaving almost half a billion dollars in a bank account that was only insured for $250k.

What a country.

"Freewheeling"? Good God, it's not a comedy tour and the Post shouldn't be reviewing it as one. Do they realize that democracy is at stake?

Blossom, a goose who lives on a pond in a cemetery, tragically lost her mate Bud. The staff at the cemetery noticed she was lonely & posted a personal ad seeking another match for her. The ad worked, & Blossom met Frankie, another widowed goose. They hit it off and are now inseparable. #MadeMeSmile

@DrPsyBuffy @ManOfRust having taken my mom who is almost 90 to appointments I can assure you it gets much worse . She’s physically frail but fine mentally. They called me in and the doctor proceeded to address his comments to me rather than my mom until she spoke up and said “if you want a medical practice where you speak to the person who brought the patient in you should switch to veterinary medicine”. The very elderly are treated like things, not people.

Clever match-up for energy conservation:
* Heating pools is expensive...
* Cooling hot-running data centers is expensive...
Combine them and you get ...

"Digital boilers" proven practical enough to be deployed to heat 65 pools & some Danish & Swedish homes.

Attention school staff, parents, and anyone with a connection to schools in the U.S.:

Project N95 is giving away free air purifiers to schools in the form of "Supplementary Air Filtration Exchanges" or "SAFE" boxes.

Crowded, poorly-ventilated classrooms are the ideal environment for the spread of airborne diseases like covid.

So, we need to clean the air.
