Of course, CO2 is absolutely essential for any plant respiration and food production.
Good News!
... for parents with kids who are approaching college age. The annual tuition and fees for Oxford University in England are about $14,000 ... whereas the tuition and fees for Dartmouth College in New Hampshire, USA are over $55,000 ... 4 times as much! Even factoring in extra transportation costs, this is a no-brainer for parents of children who can tie their shoes.

Prediction
If Andrew Yang wins the Democrat nomination, he will get at least ten votes in the general election ... those ten adults whom he personally gave a $1,000 per month stipend for the previous twelve months.
But would this be vote buying?
Not So Obvious Truth

Brave New World

Information is money ... and lots of information means lots of money. The Masters of the Universe have learned this lesson well ... and so, dear reader, we are well on our way into the Brave New World ... ruled by Silicon Valley.

Word Salads
Vegetarians must have loved the Democrat debate last night ... it was nothing but a bunch of word salads ... and Biden's lettuce was a little wilted. All the front-runner candidates offered panel-tested and over-rehearsed answers that seldom matched the questions asked.
The other missing ingredient was genuineness ... and this is the Achilles heel of the once-party of Jefferson and Jackson. These bozos cannot win the presidency by being a bunch of Chatty Cathy robots.
The degree of melodramatic arm-waving, spittle-flecked mendacity, pathetic pandering, silly zingers and desperate demagoguery was mostly universal and sadly, quite disappointing.
Again, word salads were the entire menu of the evening. Joe Biden got the mercy vote and survived only because he was the least emotive and obnoxious ... but not by much.

Snobbery
The base-line reason for all the spittle-flecked aversion to Donald J. Trump as our president is, let’s be frank, snobbery. The elites on both US coasts cannot abide that Americans in fly-over country have gained the upper hand ... and no longer accept their self-serving decisions on immigration, trade, energy, race relations, managing our economy and foreign affairs. This upstart Trump knows not of the way things are supposed to be ... and so he, along with his long ties and orange hair, needs to go back to reality TV and let his betters run things ... back to the way they used to be ... when they got the cake and middle America got the crumbs.
