The badger moniker comes from lead miners that initially settled the Wisconsin territory. They often didn't even bother building homes at first and just lived in their wildcat lead mines, like a badger.
Because it's such an empty threat. 30 days to comply or Biden will start to think a out taking actions. It's a warning that a strongly worded letter is to follow.
People don't realize just how far north Europe is. The French who first settled Montreal got there in the summer, and seeing that they were at a similar latitude as Paris, prepared for a Paris winter.
Because from 1990-2022, "fight for your country" meant help the US invade some country in the Middle East. No shit no one in Germany or France wants to do that.
Of Ukraine is anything to go off of, initial success in repelling the invasion will lead to a nationalistic wave of support, but as the war devolves into grinding attrition with China unable to get a foothold on Taiwan and the Taiwanese unable to do anything about Chinese firepower raining down on critical infrastructure, the population will want to find some sort of peace deal.
The Fed isn't earmarking the money to dig up and replace each pipe. It's grant money for municipalities to apply for to fix their pipes. So maybe it's gonna cost Citytown Ohio $24 million to swap their pipes. The city can issue a bond for $16 million, get a grant from the state for an additional $6 million, amd a federal grant for the remaining $2 million. Meanwhile, the federal government wont issue anymore funding for their water treatment facilities until all the lead pipes are removed. So Citytown can either get off their ass and start digging up pipes next month, or be SOL when their sewage treatment facility needs an overhaul in 8 years.
At least NASA had built an actual telescope and rocket during all those delays. Star Citizen has consumed hundreds of millions of dollars over the past decade and still doesn't have a game to show for it.
A Sarasota impact is preferred since it forces the storm sirge further south. An impact north of the bay means that all the storm surge gets funneled straight into Tampa Bay and the area of higher population density
I love this ghost just like my grandmother before me, and her grandmother before her, and her grandmother before her, and her grandmother before her...
