Every country needs an Inflation Reduction Act | Reuters

Lawmakers in South Korea blasted the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act as a betrayal. European Union leaders worried it would leave the bloc’s companies at a disadvantage.

Whatever horrible things you read about Henry Kissinger in the wake of his death, know that he deserves far, far worse said about him. That he was allowed to die at home in peace rather than in a cell at the Hague is an indictment of our global system of international law and justice.

When you live in the desert you don't have snow, so what do you do? You crochet snowballs of course! The snowballs are made out of a soft bulky yarn. Grandkid and I had fun having a snowball fight with them in the house and then I sent it over to his place.

Perhaps car dealerships need to learn how to sell EVs. Instead of just complaining about it, learn about the cars, anticipate questions. Help educate consumers. And stop marking them up so dang much! I've told more than one dealer that I won't pay a markup just to make their bottom line.
