Any update about Reparations.

 

Will that be a 100 day thing?

We're all descended from a female named Lucy in the Olduvai Gorge in Africa.

Accordingly, I want reparations.

Pending that, upvotes will do.

I can see the resemblance, TB.

And you (and Lucy) are all descended from me.

          The customer at the photo studio threw down his proofs in disgust.  "I don't like these pictures of myself at all," he said.  "I look like an ape."

          "That may be, sir," said the photographer, "but you should have thought of that before you had them taken."

      Two things we will see shortly:

 

    How well the checks and balances that are ingrained in our political system work.

 

    How long it takes those Republicans who are still rolling along with Trump to realize that the train is already derailed.

[Prizm123 1,086]

well not allowing the GSA to fund the transition process and the national security briefings are kind of a big deal.

i doubt people like Emily Murphy would be in line for a pardon if it came to that.

Biden Stocks Transition Teams with Climate Experts

The President-elect has included those with climate experience across a wide swath of federal agencies

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/biden-stocks-transition-teams-with-climate-experts/

 

From the Pentagon to the General Services Administration, President-elect Joe Biden has embedded climate-minded officials throughout his sprawling transition team.

Climate experts, former Obama administration officials and green activists abound among the teams managing the transition for EPA; the Energy, Interior and Agriculture departments; and the White House Council on Environmental Quality.

Unlike past transitions, officials with significant climate or clean energy experience also pop up in departments like State, Defense, Treasury and Justice.

If (depending on the rapidity and nature of what comes) we can even call it living.

I would say the same about our lives if we don't take immense action to prevent climate change. We either take a temporary hit now, or a permanent hit for all of humanity's future. Done smartly, we could minimize the effects of that temporary hit. I'm not confident that Biden's plan is perfect, and it certainly could cause negative side effects, but I do believe it is the correct direction to move towards, not just for our country, but for all life on Earth.
