Microplastics are raining down from the sky

These make good audio frequency signal generators/audio spectrum analyzer/etc. in combination with a PC and it's cheaper to buy them new off the shelf in the US and ship them in a small standard USPS box to some places in Africa than it is for people there to get them locally.

I've no idea if this is stated in the later splurge of this thread. The New Scientist reports that instead of coming from the sky, analysing the plastic, its spectrum of types highly suggests it was clothing fibres shed from walkers/climbers in the immediate area.

That is to say, this down-home good ol' boy hard-workin' Real American Patriot routine - is an act. Some people are fooled by it. Good ol' boys like people who are fooled by their acting. They're definitely not big into people who see it for what it is.

No. They wore cotton clothes coupled with clogs to eliminate that risk (which made the working conditions more uncomfortable than a less careful approach might have allowed).

It's in the fourth paragraph of the New Scientist article on page 16 of the April 20, 2019 issue.

I'm confident Joe Biden could lose spending half of what Hillary did, also.

It sure is a lot of money to throw at about 114,000 swing voters in Ohio. They should seriously just start demanding cash or check.

Trump didn't win the election. He won the electoral college vote.

The spending that won the electoral college was concentrated on what turned out to be three crucial swing states, where the Russian meddling was parti cularly enthusiastic. What the Russians spent on buying those crucial 77,00

0 should be added into what it cost to get Trump into the presidency.

It wasn't a great financial investment for the Russians. They had a geo-pol itical success in getting an incompetent into the White House, but Trump's idiotic ideas about winning trade wars has depressed global trade, which ha s cost everybody money, including the Russians.

How do you know that? The Donald had report all the money he controlled, but not PAC money. Sounds like most folk with money didn't want the Donald to be doing the spending decisions.
