We now learn that Fifa had a very specific "ask" in exchange for its "Peace Award" to Trump, with loads of gold trinkets, and that was dismissal of a criminal corruption case against senior Fifa officials. And Trump granted it. Another corrupt bargain, barely noticed (and ignored by US media).

We are being poisoned every day, so why do we keep voting for more pollution? Ask a lobbyist | George Monbiot
The dirty industries that dominate politics deceive us into accepting dangerous pollutants such as ammonia as part of life, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

The 82nd Airborne is outright deactivating its division cavalry squadron on Monday rather than using it as an experimental unit to integrate and test new UAS, UGS, and sea-based sensors.
Oh well, just innovate and disrupt and scale more good.
