The Trump administration announced a major milestone for the NSF-DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory with the installation of the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) Camera on the telescope.

Next up is the final phase of testing before capturing "first look" images and then the decade-long Legacy Survey of Space and Time will begin.

The right-wing may have co-opted anti-vaccine beliefs from the left and changed Science Is a Vast Right Wing Conspiracy hysteria into Science Is A Vast Big Pharma Conspiracy but luckily most of the wealthy people are still in states like California, so the right hasn't taken up overspending on chickens that never had medicine and never will, or raw milk, or raw pet food.

Those are three giant preventable disease vectors for and the west coast is still doing all of them. The latest disease spreader for wealthy progressive elites is Wild Coast Raw of Olympia frozen Boneless Free Range Chicken Formula raw pet food for cats. It is probably contaminated with Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) H5N1 also known as bird flu.  

In 2015, nearly every country signed The Paris agreement and agreed to keep global warming to below 2 degrees higher than before humans began emitting industrial levels of CO2 emissions.

The United Kingdom has delays even longer than the United States for routine care but with a fraction of the population, their high costs are a lot more punitive to taxpayers.

Government is always looking for ways to keep costs contained but NHS employees need raises also, so it is a challenge. Needing fewer new employees will help.

PFAS, called "forever chemicals” by activists, are about 12,000 compounds, 11,993 of them found in nature, yet environmentalists in their Forever War On Science have been targeting them based on epidemiological correlation. You know, that same "science" that claimed chocolate is health food, butter is bad and trans fats are good, and that a parasite medication cured COVID-19.

In 2018, two black men were arrested in Philadelphia because that Starbucks store had a policy that did not allow people to use their facilities without purchasing something. Social Justice Warriors declared that racist and Starbucks changed their policy. Anyone could use the restrooms and anyone could take up seats, or smoke, or drink alcohol out of a paper bag.

The tide of culture has shifted away from more centralized government control and the social authoritarianism it brings. While those who ideologically profited from the 'old Twitter' and have all scampered to Bluesky to only talk to each other, the rest of the world is now trying to be mainstream again.

If you want to know where someone is most likely to steal your package, the short answer if you want to stop reading is Washington, DC. The nation's capitol. Infer from that what you will. The cost may be up to $12 billion each year.
