  Jeffrey Epstein’s Associates Could Reap Benefit of a Big Tax Refund
  
  from By Matthew Goldstein
  
  The estate’s assets have swelled to $145 million, a probate court filing in the U.S. Virgin Islands shows. Much of that won’t make its way to Mr. Epstein’s victims.

2. You're not stupid, nor are you foolish. You could go and learn everything you need to know to evaluate the firmware on your antilock brakes and decide whether to trust them. You could figure out how to assess the Common Core curriculum for pedagogical soundness. You could learn the material science needed to evaluate the soundness of the joists that hold the roof up over your head. You could acquire the biology and chemistry chops to decide whether you want to trust produce that's been treated with Monsanto's Roundup pesticides. You could do the same for cell biology, virology, and epidemiology and decide whether to wear a mask and/or get an MRNA vaccine and/or buy a HEPA filter. You *could* do any of these. You might even be able to do two or three of them. But you can't do all of them, and that list is just a small slice of all the highly technical questions that stand between you and misery or an early grave. Practically speaking, you aren't going to develop your own robust meatpacking hygiene standards, nor your own water treatment program, nor your own Boeing 737 MAX inspection protocol. Markets don't solve this either. If they did, we wouldn't have to worry about chunks of Boeing jets falling on our heads. The *reason* we have agencies like the FDA (and enabling legislation like the Pure Food and Drug Act) is that markets failed to keep people from being murdered by profit-seeking snake-oil salesmen and radium suppository peddlers.

You know what would make weather events like Helene less devastating? Put electrical and internet service lines under ground.
Cost a lot of money? You bet! Take a long time...San Diego's been working on it since before I came here 25 years ago, and they expect be done by 2065, maybe. It's financed by a tax on utility bills.
"Well, if cable/internet goes out, I've still got my phone."
Not if the power to cell towers or data centers goes out too.

The Sick Rose
by W Blake
O Rose thou art sick.
The invisible worm,
That flies in the night
In the howling storm:
Has found out thy bed
Of crimson joy:
And his dark secret love
Does thy life destroy.

@br00t4c Improper use of the adverb "hopefully" is in and of itself disqualifying.
