So, How's It Going?

     The U. S. joined with Russia, North Korea and a rogue's gallery of nations in voting against a UN amendment that condemned Russia for invading Ukraine and told 'em to withdraw their troops.  Our NATO allies voted the other way.  Are we still the good guys?

     Uncle Sam is spamming Federal workers with "justify your existence" emails that they could be either required to respond to, prohibited from responding to, or in receipt of evidence of Federally-prohibited unfair labor practices.

     Farmers who use water from the Colorado River had been getting Federal grant money to scale back crops, so the reservoirs could retain enough to spin the generators at places like Hoover Dam.  Those grants are now "under review" and nobody knows when the review will be complete -- but lacking the funds, they'll need to start planting or go broke, so....

     Yeah, how's it going?  Meanwhile, the price of eggs is high and rising.

I remain convinced we are in deep ka-ka, and it's getting deeper.

One positive is that a lot of Trump's Cabinet are telling the world's richest babby daddy to go pound sand on his emails.
Maga & the Muskrats are eventually going to have a clash, as both want to be the guy leading the parade.

Off topic... Just finished "I work on a Starship" It's Good. I like the way you used Radio tech and terms in it.

Are we the good guys? We're voting with some of the world's worst regimes and Trump is dragging the US into alignment with the Axis of Evil against the democracies of the world. Domestically, he seems hell-bent on outlawing transgendered people to the point of the choice will be to flee or go into the camps.

The evidence is pointing towards a negative answer. We're not the good guys anymore.
