Boy is @HisArpy in for a surprise!

@glamorilla is an aging bitter boomer of little accomplishment, a casual laborer by trade his entire life, currently on the government dole due to "medical issues" (his lower back isn't what it used to be, plus all the weight he's put on lately doesn't help either).

He has rediscovered and embraced his "inner couch potato" and has returned to Lit after a lengthy absence to instruct us on "the way things ought to be". (I wonder if he even realizes Rush Limbaugh is dead?)
 
I'm getting wind of another action that only Laurel can take, that I'm not aware of ever having been done before.

Gotta be cryptic though since I'm not sure of the ifs or whys.

perhaps the avalanche of complaints lately has had some impact
 
On August 14, 1935, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act into law. While he had already put in place new measures to regulate business and banking and had provided temporary work relief to combat the Depression, this law permanently changed the nature of the American government.

The Social Security Act established a federal system of old-age benefits; unemployment insurance; aid to homeless, dependent, and neglected children; funds to promote maternal and child welfare; and public health services. It was a sweeping reworking of the relationship of the government to its citizens, using the power of taxation to pool funds to provide a basic social safety net.

The driving force behind the law was FDR’s secretary of labor, Frances Perkins. She was the first woman to hold a position in the U.S. Cabinet and still holds the record for having the longest tenure in that job: she lasted from 1933 to 1945.

One hundred and eighty-eight Democrats have cosponsored the Social Security 2100 Act, which expands Social Security benefits and raises payroll taxes on those who earn more than $400,000 a year to pay for it.

Social Security is the most effective anti-poverty program in US history.

A pathetic 26% is the 'highest turnout'?



Turnout in Wisconsin election tops 26%, highest in 60 years for fall primary in presidential year​


Turnout in Wisconsin’s recent election is the highest in 60 years for a presidential year partisan primary.

At least it’s a better indicator of how things stand in Wisconsin than a poll, imho.

The Republican attempt to include a referendum on the November ballot that sought to strip Wisconsin’s Democratic governor of the ability to spend federal emergency funds without the approval of the state assembly and the Senate went down by almost 10 percentage points. (I.E. The Republicans lost by almost 10 percentage points.)

That ^ suggests the spread in the November election will be about the same - barring any significant "surprises".

NASA warns of moon cycle's 'wobble' in the 2030's will lead to extensive additional flooding as sea-levels continue to rise

The reason for this expected surge is tied to the moon's 18.6-year cycle.

Right now, it's in the half that amplifies tides – meaning high tides get higher and low tides get lower. Along most US coastlines, current sea levels have not risen so much that high tides regularly top flooding thresholds.

But that won't be the case next time around, which is in the mid-2030s.

That's because of how a wobble in the moon's orbit combines with rising sea levels. The wobble isn't new – it was first reported in 1728. But how this movement affects the moon's gravitational pull, the main cause of the Earth's tides, will spark these new flooding concerns when it combines with rising sea levels.

"Global sea level rise will have been at work for another decade. The higher seas, amplified by the lunar cycle, will cause a leap in flood numbers on almost all U.S. mainland coastlines, Hawaii, and Guam," a NASA news release stated.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration even notes that some cities could see flooding every few days, which would obviously wreck businesses in the flood zones as they'd be unable to trade.

I can’t imagine how much that is going to exacerbate the current problem of saltwater intrusion in many locations. (Not to mention, how it will affect hurricane impacts.)
