'Elon Musk is right'
to criticize spending bill
says House Republican
who voted for spending bill
Representative Scott Perry,
a Pennsylvania Republican and member of the far-right House Freedom caucus,
just seconded Elon Musk’s criticism of the massive spending bill
that passed the House by a single vote
as “a disgusting abomination”
and added that the billionaire Republican donor
“is right to call out House Leadership”.

Sonnet 103 - CIII
Alack! what poverty my Muse brings forth,
That having such a scope to show her pride,
The argument all bare is of more worth
Than when it hath my added praise beside!
O! blame me not, if I no more can write!
Look in your glass, and there appears a face
That over-goes my blunt invention quite,
Dulling my lines, and doing me disgrace.
Were it not sinful then, striving to mend,
To mar the subject that before was well?…

Comparison of Rochester with Buffalo shows why cities should remove, not underground, their bad highways.
Draws one good lesson & one bad one:
Yes, plan in advance for what you want to do.
No, don't try to "build consensus". Build support. Consensus-seeking doesn't avoid "paralysis by analysis," it creates it.

Rochester gave up lanes of highway traffic to turn a trench into green space — and wants to do more.

added new buildings,
and brought in advanced machinery to significantly increase its missile production.

Investigation: Russia expands strategic plant producing ICBMs — with China’s help
Key findings: * Despite international sanctions, Russia's strategic missile plant was able to import complex machinery to dramatically increase missile production. * The Kyiv Independent has identified the equipment supplied to the plant, as well as the supply chains, mostly from China. * We located the plant's new premises, built to house the new machinery. * We obtained a document confirming that the plant received an order to produce intercontinental missiles capable of reaching the U.S.

by slashing tax breaks for wind and solar power and electric cars

GOP governors.
Now, as Congress steamrolls toward passing historic Medicaid cuts of about $1 trillion over 10 years through Trump’s tax and spending legislation,
