SIGNOFF QUOTE[s]:
“It is incredible. You know, I wrote a column way back when around the time Sarah Huckabee Sanders was denied service at restaurants. What we should be doing is shunning these people. Shunning, shaming these people is a statement of moral indignation that these people are not fit for polite society. I think any institution, University of Virginia, for example, for a bit had a relationship with Marc Short, who’s now back with the administration. It’s absolutely abhorrent that any institution of higher learning or any news organization or any entertainment organization that has a news outlet would hire these people. I want to echo something my friend EJ [Dionne] said. It’s not only that Trump has to lose, but that all his enablers have to lose. We have to collectively burn down the Republican party. We have to level them. Because if there are survivors, if there are people who weather this storm, they will do it again and they’ll take it as confirmation that, hey, it pays to ride the waves. Look at me, I made it through. Up and down the ticket, federal state and local offices, the country has to repudiate this. It is NOT a normal administration, and when these people say, “Oh you can’t criticize us, it will deter public service,” it will deter people who are liars, who are enablers and who are really bad people and they should be deterred. They don’t get to escape accountability. That’s all of our job to hold them accountable for the rest of their lives. Yes, we need to burn it down. BURN IT ALL DOWN.” ~ Jennifer Rubin, on AMJoy (8/25/2019)

POSSIBLE TOPICS:
Is Trans the new Gay?
Gays used to be almost completely taboo in movies and TV, and ‘gayness’ of characters was only hinted at.
Today, no TV show or movie seems complete without at least one prominent gay character.
The GLBT movement has helped bring Transgender people into the public consciousness.
Has Caitlin Jenner now made Trans characters almost mandatory in media?
Do modern wars have such sloppy endings precisely because there is no Declaration of War and no proper surrender?
Infrastructure: Be careful what you wish for: North-South access suddenly very challenging
Downtown segment of I-45 going through major reconstruction.
Shepard between us-59 and Allen Pkwy going through major construction
Studemont experiencing some construction between I-10 and Memorial
Occupation experience: Why did Iraq & Afghanistan turn out so differently from Germany and Japan?

Greece: Is Austerity The Best Way To Address Excess Debt?
The Greek Responsibility:
Governed by adults who should know the consequences of borrowing
More effective collection of taxes
VAT: Great for tax on consumptions, but what about people who make far more than they can spend?
Cutting expenditures to pay sovereign debt:
Pain worth the gain?
Might Austerity be fair for multiple generations?
Should debt forgiveness be essential?
Why, and by whom?
Does austerity make it much harder to pay creditors by hurting economic growth?
Are some forms of austerity better or worse than others?
Do Banks and Financiers share responsibility because they over-lent?
Should Banks and Financiers ‘forgive’ some of Greece’s debt, and it so, why?
Air Travel/Airport/Passenger Pick-up Hell
Americans are getting bigger:
Clothing, shoes, furniture, even toilet seats are getting bigger. Why are airplane seats getting smaller?

I always wonder about photovoltaic (PV) cells. How much generating capacity degradation occurs over time due to dirt and grime accumulating on the cells’ surfaces? How important is it to keep them clean, and how clean? If you install them on a sloped roof, cleaning is hard and dangerous (and potentially expensive) enough; even worse to 2, 3 or 4-story roofs.
When you talk about parking lots and roadways, the problem becomes orders of magnitude greater: Tire detritus, oil and grease drippings from vehicles, dust and dirt washed out of the skies and the adjoining soils.
I’ve never understood how or if these things are calculated into life-cost, investment payback and/or energy efficiency.
A Deutsche Bank report in October concluded that by 2016, solar power will cost the same or less than electricity from the conventional power grid in almost every U.S. state
In 1972, the price of an average watt of solar power stood at $75. In 2012, that dropped to less than $1 per watt. By 2015, solar modules from China are expected to run the consumer just 42 cents per watt.
