Feeding Northeast Florida helps local children and families, seniors and active and retired military members who struggle to put food on the table. Working with local grocery stores, manufacturers, and farms we rescue high-quality food that would normally be wasted and transform it into meals for those in need. The Flagler County School District provides space for much of the food pantry storage and operations. Call 386-586-2653 to help, volunteer or donate.





Notably: One of the more memorable moments of the Olympics was Celine Dion singing Piaf, a song of particular force and lyricism written by marguerite Monnot (the Beirut street where I used to catch the bus to my bane when I was in elementary school–le Petit College, that house of Jesuit horrors–was called Rue Monot, with one n). I thought playing it at the Olympics was original. It turners out to have been sung at the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, played in 2021, by Milet, in Japanese. Piaf still can’t be beat.

Quote:
The blue sky above us may collapse
And the earth may well crumble
It doesn’t matter to me, if you love me
I don’t care about the whole world
As long as love floods my mornings
As long as my body trembles under your hands
I don’t care about the problems
My love, since you love me
I would go to the ends of the earth
I would dye my hair blonde
If you asked me to
I would reach for the moon
I would steal a fortune
If you asked me to
I would renounce my homeland
I would renounce my friends
If you asked me to
They can laugh at me
I would do anything
If you asked me to
If one day life tears you away from me
If you die, far from me
It doesn’t matter, if you love me
Because I would die too
We will have eternity for us
In the blue of all immensity
In the sky, no more problems
My love, do you think we love each other?
God unites those who love each other

–Lyrics by Marguerite Monnot, sang by Edith Piaf, 1949.

    Michael J. Hicks, Ball State University professor of economics, wrote an editorial column for the Indianapolis Star.

    Here are excerpts from his column:

    – “Trump has promised the mass deportation of illegal immigrants. Illegal immigration in the United States is down from its 2007 high of 12.2 million to about 11 million today. Absent misleading claims, the challenge of illegal immigration is lessening over time.

    “The costs of deportation are huge. Bus and rail costs for voluntary deportation would run well over $50 billion and take well over a year. We simply don’t have the buses in the United States to move 11 million people to, say, Mexico in a year. Moreover, the cost of mobilizing tens of thousands of National Guard troops to aid in deportation would be well over a half-trillion dollars.

    “Deportation and mobilization would also remove millions of workers from an economy already starved for workers. This would spike the deficit, because undocumented immigrants pay much more in taxes than they receive in services. It would also slow economic growth.”

    – “Trump has also claimed he would expand tariffs, perhaps dramatically. Here, Congress has given the president enormous latitude in setting tariffs for national security claims. Presidents from both parties have abused this power, so Trump will be able to levy virtually whatever tariff he wishes, on whomever he wishes.

    “The tariffs are purportedly designed to increase U.S. manufacturing employment. One key problem with that claim is that there’s overwhelming evidence that tariff’s reduce domestic factory employment. Indeed, Trump’s 2018 tariffs pushed the Midwest — whose factories were especially susceptible to tariffs — into the brink of recession in 2019.

    “Today, factory employment in the Midwest is below the January 2017 levels when Trump first took office.

    “A 10-20% tariff on all imported goods, as Trump proposes, could push the United States into recession. Prices on all manufactured goods would rise and we would expect retaliatory tariffs to likewise reduce demand for U.S. good and services abroad. This is a hard lesson to relearn, but we appear a hardheaded people.”

    Make of this what you will.

    Me? Most of my adult life I have repeatedly read various economic articles explaining just how bad it got after nations all over the world began imposing tariffs in the early years following the 1929 Crash. Economists long accepted the idea that the initial downturn from the Crash prior to the imposition of tariffs was bad. But the initial recession turned into a depression after the tariff barriers took effect. The worst year of the Great Depression took place four years after the Crash.

    I am old enough to remember how the International Manufacturing Federation (IMF) extracted profits from Harley-Davidson to the expense of research and development; it was just a shell of a company when IMF sold its remnants to a group of Harley executives who had raised the private capital to buy it.

    Cash-poor, the company began development of what is now known as the Evolution engine. Fearing economic collapse before the new engine could be introduced, Harley executives approached the Reagan administration seeking tariffs to protect their failing market share. Reagan imposed a 25% tariff on 701cc and over motorcycles imported into the country. After the Evolution engine was released, the tariff ended, and the Harley-Davidson story continued.

    It is one thing to erect a tariff directed at a specific target class with an expiration plan. It is something else entirely to order broad tariffs on all classes of goods for an indeterminate period of time.

    Correct grammar, punctuation and spelling MIGHT make your argument stronger, but I doubt it. You sound like a raving lunatic.
    Your side won.
    Be joyous.

    According to an October 6, 2020, CAR AND DRIVER article, Ford obtained an interesting patent for an Extended Range Electric Vehicle concept.

    The concept is simple.

    Build a portable engine/generator module that is small enough to be lifted into or out of a truck bed. Ford’s patented design looks like a large toolbox.

    If a motorist expects to drive further than the range of a fully charged battery, he or she can wheel a portable engine/generator system out of a garage using a purpose-designed cart. Wheel the module off the cart onto the truck bed. Affix the module in place at the front of the bed. Plug the portable system into the battery, start the engine and drive the truck until the engine’s gas supply runs low. Refuel as needed. The engine-generated electricity will keep the battery charged.

    Any gas-powered generator would do, but a purpose-built modular engine/generator that can generate enough electricity to keep a truck going under load like towing a boat will likely need to be a small multi-cylinder turbocharged engine.

    Once home, unstrap the modular engine, wheel it back onto the cart and return it to the garage.

    @ Rathsam “750000000 Americans voted the Democrats out” you say. That’s 750 million, twice the US population. “incompitance”. That’s hilarious, but you wouldn’t get why. Total of 9 words spelled incorrectly, even though you must have spell check. Trump should make you Sekratery of Edumacation.
