Much like a pigeon playing chess, Trump will lose, kick over the board, and claim victory.

It reminds me of the movie Independence Day where the people are gathered on top of a building cheering on the invading aliens to be destroyed..

Stock buybacks don't just line the pockets of CEOs and shareholders — they're dangerous.

Boeing failed to implement a $7B redesign of its 737 Max while spending that much per year on buybacks.

A dollar spent on buybacks is a dollar less spent to upgrade equipment and safety.

How is a company buying its own stock not manipulation?

Aside from not investing it in your company or your employees it would seem meddling with supply and demand of the stocks really shouldn't be a thing..

Remember: Trump's jury was made up of ordinary citizens — selected with input from Trump's own lawyers. The jurors were not politicians or members of the "Deep State." They were Americans who did their civic duty.

Big Oil claims we have to choose between the economy & the environment.

Rubbish! Investing in clean energy creates good jobs that can't be outsourced.

Failing to address climate will wreck the economy, as extreme weather will increasingly destroy crops, homes, and our health.

Gravitational waves reveal “mystery object” merging with a neutron star

The so-called "mass gap" might be less empty than physicists previously thought.

Reminds me of something I've been stewing on lately.. if mass distorts apacetime and light, and we are not Maxwell's demon knowing the position and status of every Mass out there, it makes me wonder how you get a accurate measurement on anything.. I could see things being many orders of magnitude wrong.. but then again I'm not that scientist :-)
