Happy Friday!!!!

Listening to an NPR
interview with Sununu, former Governor of New Hampshire, re FAA stress on airline travel during the shutdown.

Sununu. Sound familiar? For those of over the age of 60, that name should evoke concern at minimum.

If ur not sure why, watch The White House Effect.

Essential (but depressing) new documentary @netflix.com

The White House Effect

The story is bigger than America, but this traces the catastrophic shift from political consensus under Republican Bush 1 on Climate Change to state capture by Big Oil

It's appropriate that our 2025 opener is having its Netflix debut on Halloween. We can think of few things scarier than climate inaction.

THE WHITE HOUSE EFFECT explores the dramatic origins of the climate crisis and how a battle in the 1st Bush administration changed the course of history.
