This is long overdue - when old-growth forests are cut down for lumber, they are replaced with the typical commercial mono-species planted forests, losing the diversity that comes form having many different types of trees and undergrowth to support a diverse fauna as well.....

So, Biden wins some points from you. Is that so, Bruce?

Biden gets a lot of points from me as he should from all of us on the side of democracy. He has accomplished an astounding bunch of good stuff with razor-thin margins in Congress - FDR and LBJ had much larger margins in their Congressional Houses than Smokin' Joe. But - he is too wedded to bipartisanship when the other side has no interest at all, and he is also too wedded to the filibuster and other Senatorial traditions that now are used only to stop him from succeeding. And we need to send Ukraine enough ATACMS missiles to take down the Kerch Strait bridge - if the Ukrainians cannot block that bridge, they cannot take Crimea, and that is crucial for Ukraine's future. Not dozens of them, but enough to drop that bridge and give Ukraine a chance to win.
