Trump and logic - an existential misfit:
Warming Arctic seas may mean new China/Russian threat to USA'S NE approaches (aka Greenland) - this due to climate change which Trump calls a hoax.

It’s exactly this kind of dismal, prejudiced bollox from the Daily Mail that’s got us into the ruinous Brexit mess we’re in. What a moronic response to us rejoining Erasmus and all the benefits that brings. If they’re really worried about cost, they should push to cancel Brexit altogether.

UPS' CEO made over $24M last year — over 436x her median worker's pay.
This is a reminder that states can step up and protect workers when Trump's federal government refuses to.
