"Amazon program manager is caught on camera calling one of the company's OWN delivery drivers
the n-word for walking on his grass - before calling the worker's boss and 'getting him FIRED' "

Interesting Amazon family squabble!
However, if the offending employee was fired,
the other, equally offending, should also be fired

... since the first would learn to stay off the grass
before the second learned to temper his tantrums.

The good news about modern surveillance technology
(with complementary recording of everything) is that
evidence will exist when it's time to assign blame
for what went wrong during the mandates.

Tip: Personal documentation will help
if you were subject to a mandate.

"9/11 education should 'avoid placing blame', leave out 'gruesome' details, college students say"

Probably preference for the 'some people did something' version.

However, this gentle 9/11 version seems appropriate for lower grades -
not college where children learn to deal with the real world as adults.

These many trillions of dollars - for such SMALL countries -

"Poo Peek"

Despite being an occasionally insatiable wordsmith,
I didn't listen to the entire nutrition-related comment
online that mentioned "poo peek" (sounded like).

Days later, I wondered how this related to nutrition ...
then realized association with beneficial fiber/bacteria.
And this suggested that what I heard was "Poopique",
a more delicate, high-society reference to a topic
rarely discussed so openly in high society.

Further research now reveals that "Poopique"
is "Poop EQQ" (Poop Ease/Quality/Quantity).
Of course, all this research (with pictures)
now suggests "Poo Peek" may be daily habit
necessary to know current state of Poopique.

Confused Ask your state and national leaders
who may know about administrative poop,
often embellished by the media.

China's continuing rapid development of its military (including such weapons) and its continuing aggressive posturing
suggest that it has full intention to use its military might wherever. Unfortunately (IMO), China seems to believe that its size

"Body composting a 'green' alternative to burial, cremation"

"rectangular insulated wooden box is lined with waterproof roofing material and packed with wood chips and straw. Two large spool wheels on either end allow it to be rolled across the floor, providing the oxygenation, agitation and absorption required for a body to compost."

"After about three months, the vessel is opened and the 'soil' is filtered for medical devices like prosthetics, pacemakers or joint replacements. The remaining large bones are then pulverized and returned to the vessel for another three months of composting. Teeth are removed to prevent contamination from mercury in fillings."
