  1. Bad when companies use "inflation" as an excuse to raise prices (more) and rev the profits. But regulating prices and/or profits has often simply led to shortages. And when we're talking about food, the stakes go up.
  2. The World Health Organization declared Wednesday that the increasing spread of mpox in Africa is a global health emergency, warning the virus might ultimately spill across international borders. The announcement by WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus came after a meeting of the U.N. health agency’s emergency committee. The Africa Centers for Disease Control and Prevention declared mpox a public health emergency on the continent on Tuesday. WHO said there have been more than 14,000 cases and 524 deaths in Africa this year, which already exceed last year’s figures. So far, more than 96% of all cases and deaths are in a single country — Congo. Scientists are concerned by the spread of a new version of the disease there that might be more easily transmitted among people. https://apnews.com/article/what-is-mpox-monkey-pox-congo-emergency-415d11f9e62d104b4c40dd8fe8e80b47
  3. Where do thsie POW's go? To something monitored by the Red Cross or similar? Can we presume they're being fed and housed well? I hope. And word needs to get back to Russia how good it is to surrender.
  4. Stalingrad 2 Hope Ukrainian machine guns run out of bullets before Russia runs out of refuseniks.
  5. I did. Negotiated. GREAT price.
  6. Which one had that big white guy get basically raped by an ocotopus? Was a disturbing scene.
  7. Yeah and Grizzly Adams had a beard.
  8. Gonna be quite the contrast when the inevitable Russia counterattack destroys everything.
  9. That guy is REAL lucky he’s white.
  10. ‘Bout time. And I presume he gave Ukraine full permission to use their American weapons in Russia?
  11. That’ll change when the Russian carpet bombing counter offensive starts. ETA Russia will destroy their own city to drive Ukraine out.
  12. So basically Ukraine can go as far in as they trust their supply lines? Sounds cool, but it sounded cool to Napoleon as well.
  13. But where they on screen at the same time?
  14. Let’s hope so. Maybe we can loan them some recon satellite time?
  15. If you're watching a RR movie and critiquing the plot, you should just get up and go home. The movie isn't for you.
