I wonder how far these "People" are willing to push this process. Are they willing to push arranged marriages, child marriages, "handmaids?" Two states have bills in various stages that lower the age of consent to marriage. Are they going to resurrect laws I read about in Louisiana as late as mid last century that allowed a husband to demand his wife's paycheck be turned over to him? Evidently they plan stealth laws that will subject the citizens of other states to their draconian, Gilead laws. Sad note that this country got rid of racially based slavery after the Civil War only to have a sexually based slavery introduced covertly today. Worse--women are less than fetuses--or perhaps even below sperm because as the song in Monty Python's Meaning of Life says "every sperm is sacred"--women, not so much.

I didn't get back to this yesterday.
I saw a snippet on the news this morning which claimed that Putin, in addition to warning the U.S. of dire consequences if we continued supplying the Ukrainians, is going to change the designation of his country's actions in Ukraine from a "Special Military Operation" to a "war". For Ukrainians it is pot-a-to/pot-ah-to but evidently the changes means Putin could tap a larger pool of manpower. I wonder what we, NATO, and the EU will do if he does.
CSU has put out its hurricane prediction for this year and thinks it will be somewhat busier than "normal." On tap: 19 named storms, 9 hurricanes, and 4 at a category 3 or better.
Just what we needed (not even)--an outbreak of hepatitis in U.S., U.K., Spain and Ireland has sickened children under the age of 6 (last I heard). Doctors have ruled out the usual hepatitis viruses (A through E) and are suspecting an adenovirus which is usually a respiratory virus.
Another nasty consequence of the Russo-Ukrainian conflict is a shortage of fertilizer so expect to pay more for veggies, anything made from grains, and don't forget eggs and meats from animals fed grains.
