I have in my hand a USA one cent piece.
I'm informed that in America it's called a 'penny'.
A very 'British' thing to do.

There has been talk of eliminating them.....  (GEEZUS!)

Makes sense.

More Trump team lies:

One thing we should consider given Barr's letter is that Trump doesn't do favors for dictator/strongmen who assassinate journalists and political opposition because he is getting something out of it personally (though I wouldn't eliminate that possibility entirely) but because he has a personal affinity for their ideology and method of ruling.

Does that "exonerate" him, or does it only make it more clear that he is grossly unqualified to be a President of the United States of America?

I’m just glad she’ll outlive you and that I meet more and more people like her and fewer and fewer people like you everyday.

For the benefit of the "Elba Climate Changers";

Australia shamed at World Economic Forum over coal use;

https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/nsw/australia-singled-out-for-resistance-to-move-from-coal-at-world-economic-forum/news-story/e01a1c0d29a7191475c6b5bb6cbd786b

Australia singled out for ‘resistance’ to move from coal at World Economic Forum

Foreign economists for one of the world’s largest think-tanks have turned to activism by publicly shaming Australia for not “abandoning coal”.
The World Economic Forum released its energy transition index on Monday which singled out Australia for its “resistance” to moving away from coal while begrudgingly admitting radical climate policies had created “social unrest” in cities like Paris.

The group, which has “Industry Affiliations” with several renewable energy companies, ranked Australia 43rd on its energy transition index behind the likes of Mexico, Romania and Lithuania.

Australia has committed to reducing carbon emissions by 26 per cent by 2030 and donated $200 million to the Paris Agreement affiliated Global Climate Fund in 2015.
“It’s a bit rich for others to call on Australia abandon one of our most valuable energy-generating industries when they can fall back on nuclear reactors and gas pipelines keep them warm at night.

"Foreign economists for one of the world’s largest think-tanks"...baaah!

[arafura]

cont'd;

“Much of Europe is a lesson on how not to manage an energy transition, so while this advice is noted I doubt any responsible government here would consider accepting it.”
Nationals MP Michael Johnsen said European scientists did not have to have difficult conversations with families struggling to pay their high energy prices.

“If we were to completely shut off coal then it would send us broke and the damage would be far more detrimental than a property market collapse,” he said.

“These people have an ideological position and when you are representing constituents and cost of living is an issue you have to be pragmatic.
“If you make decisions on ideology you are doomed and so is your community

“Besides the fact I am sick and tired of comparisons with European countries to Australia because we are a small population on a bloody big island not a large population on a small land mass … they have no idea about the vastness of Australia and the challenges which follow.”

Indeed.

Seems to me she called more attention to Nebraska's flooding disaster, and current needs, than did the junior senator FROM Nebraska, Ben Sasse.  As for body language, yes, no woman could have her own body language so she must have adopted it from a fine white man.  Absolutely.  People from New York don't talk with their hands - in fact, they move around like they're part of a Riverdance troupe.

This was the move the Nunez lawsuits were aimed at, in part:

Watch.  There is a 100% chance that conservatives will start to complain that they are being unfairly targeted for censorship while disputing the classification of certain groups as white nationalist.

Puerto Rico is heading for 100% renewable energy by 2050, they are breaking the progress up into steps, then they are going to meet each requirement at each specified date, culminating in 2050 with 100% renewable.

https://pv-magazine-usa.com/2019/03/18/puerto-rico-is-on-its-way-to-100-renewable-electricity/

They need to own their own power too, as they go, like the City of Anaheim does. Some of the money from the cost of electricity can go into a general fund to be used by the people however they choose, they can help the homeless, they can build new parks, they can decide how they want to use the money, the main thing is for the money to go to the people instead of going to some heartless company which only takes and never gives.

And California is going for solar power on every home.

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/09/business/energy-environment/california-solar-power.html

People can benefit in a lot of ways as we all move towards clean energy and a cleaner environment.

And guys like Bernie Sanders need to start their own companies, and they can make their own utopia, he can do many things in the private sector, without the government involvement. In Anaheim the original settlers wanted to grow grapes and make wine and have a utopia where they could all benefit and could live good lives together as a community, sadly the grapes were killed by a root disease, so they had to grow oranges and strawberries and stuff instead, but the city grew, and Disneyland opened here, and the city is now known as being a "City of Kindness." A lot can be done in the private sector.

Of note too, the French government owns part of a Japanese car company, so when you buy a Japanese car you are paying for medical care for a Frenchman. Bernie can learn a lot from the French, and so can Puerto Rico.

A lot of good things can happen as we all go green, and we all want clean air and clean water, etc.

Salute,
