  2. We received our bond brokerage statement today. The total is down about one percent, which is well within the normal month-to-month range of variation. No perceptible Trump effect.

    2. If it is at all helpful, my laptop REALLY needs a new battery (and an operating system upgrade, if possible). I keep putting it off.

  5. Canadian business consultant on what Canada can and should do to hit back at Trump/US economically [Click] I can’t judge this guy’s opinions, but he makes the case that Canada can (and should) hit back at the US WAY harder than it so far has.

    1. My Nuclear Chemistry professor and a partner developed a portable whole-body radio nuclide scanner, and took it around to various meetings where there would be people interested in such things. They could always identify attendees (in the western US, anyway) who ate oysters, from the Cobalt-60 that leached out of the Hanford site, into the Columbia River, and thence into the oyster beds.

  8. I am so angry my hair is on fire! ~Susan. Site is being weird again, so I don't know how/if this will show us. Spinless weak POS SCHUMER is going to go along with the Republicans on the CR "to keep the government open". Bull, Schumer, Pelosi and the top layer are filthy rich. The crap Trump & Musk do won't affect them much. BUT they're giving the republicans permission to cut our Medicare, Medicaide and Social Security. Our party (ha) does not fight for its base. As long as they're good to go they'll leave us out here to twist in the wind without ANYONE to protect us or look out for our rights. I freaking HATE THEM ALL right now and they can beg for donations til they turn blue.

    1. Glenn Kirschner on Trump’s Thursday mass firings debacle. [Click] Toward the end he makes the point that if the managers exceeded the scope of their duties (which certainly seems to be the case), the government will not defend them in a defamation suit.

      Well, there’s this: Key Democrats voting 'Hell no!' on GOP funding bill and say Trump owns any govt. shutdown. [Click] And earlier I read that the largest federal employees’ union, which stand to lose the most jobs, told the Dems to vote against the GOP continuing resolution tomorrow.
