@SecRollins@forestservice Fantastic that we will treat our forest & woodland like tree farms and not like vacant lots. Forget “save a tree” - resurrecting logging & saw mills is the best management tool.
@AlexiLalas Watching over 200 hours of soccer in 37 days….should it require a health warning? Asking for a friend. A friend who usually watches 40 to 50 matches per WC. 😵💫
@AlexiLalas Evidently viewing licenses have not been issued for group viewing , like the Croatian church hall. So does the parish council risk having the watch party at the church hall w/ a license or canceling the very popular event?
@usmntonly FIFA inflates the number of games, 64 to 108 AND expects to sell those 6.7 million tickets at an average of $300? 1.5 billion in 35 days for just tickets. A top business should do a case study/autopsy of this. The sports press will say nothing, lap dog media. #GO YANKS
@TravelGov@StateDept@SportsDiplomacy The Passport Card is only good for land and sea points of entry . So fly to S.Diego and cross to TIJ to fly, or Buffalo, Detroit or Seattle for Canada
🇪🇸 Here is Spain, where thousands of centuries-old olive trees are being uprooted and replaced with solar panels.
Trees, bees, and insects — all gone. You know… to save the planet… 🤡
@AlexiLalas Gas up over $/gallon means $4.5 billion not available for other things. Entertainment is one of the most affected categories of spending. Question in our K shaped economy? Are there enough customers from the upper part of the K to make the World Cup come out economically?
@AlexiLalas Once upon a time picnics were a popular American activity. Tailgating is the last vestige of picnicing culture. When new stadiums get built there are aggressive policies to suppress picnicking. Is a sport treats you as customer first and fan second, the dynamic changes a lot
@GustavoArellano Must we now buy our lawnmowers out of state. ? ( like we do with fireworks?) is bringing a gas mower across state line a misdemeanor or a felony ? If smoky and the bandit were filmed today, would it be an illegal truckload of gas mower engines instead of Coors?
NEW: San Francisco police trap 85 bicyclists on an offramp who were seen taking over the road, swerving around cars, & riding the wrong direction.
The bike gang tried turning around after they were blocked on the ramp by SFPD & CHP, but quickly realized they were trapped.
All of the bikes were confiscated.
This is amazing.

Peter Thiel just compressed forty years of American decline into one sentence.
Thiel: “Silicon Valley deals in the world of bits; most of the economy is the world of atoms.”
For four decades, the most talented engineers alive funneled into a single corridor.
Computers. Software. Mobile. Internet.
Not because the physical world ran out of problems.
Because solving them became illegal.
Thiel: “It was a bad idea to become an aerospace engineer. These were all industries that were sort of in structural decline because they were getting outlawed, they were getting regulated to death.”
Nuclear. Chemical. Mechanical. Aerospace.
Field after field, regulated into silence before a generation of builders ever arrived.
Thiel: “Computer science was the only sort of scientific, technical field that actually had a future in the 1980s.”
So the builders went where building was still allowed.
The physical world paid in decades.
Founders Fund: “We wanted flying cars. Instead we got 140 characters.”
That is not satire. That is the ledger.
Now AI is forcing the reckoning no one scheduled.
The intelligence being built inside data centers does not stay inside data centers.
It moves into manufacturing. Into energy. Into aerospace. Into every domain that was locked and left to decay.
That gap is closing. Faster than most institutions can process.
America fills it. Or cedes it.
