Many sources are reporting that Trump finally signed the pandemic relief bill:
- Trump signs stimulus and government spending bill into law, averting shutdown
- Trump Signs Pandemic Relief Bill After Unemployment Aid Lapses
- Trump signs stimulus bill ahead of government shutdown, releasing checks and aid
- Trump signs COVID relief bill amid pressure, but adds conditions
Not gonna summarize all the bits in it - it's some 5k pages of legalese gobbledygook, but I understand it continues augmented unemployment benefits, eviction suspension, funding to prevent government shutdown, and another direct cash payment.
I'm sure it also has a bunch of "porky pork", but the people are suffering, time is of essence, and it should have been done months ago.

Soil in the Amazon rainforest is terrible. It's lacking lots of nutrients. Somehow, plants grow. That is because the Amazon isn't really fucking cold like Alaska.
So of course you can't grow much in the boulder fields and moraines of the North. Plants need heat. They also like carbon dioxide, with nearly all plants growing much better if you increase the levels. In other words, we need to burn more coal.
Florida is also lacking nutrients. Much of the state is pure white sand. Oh well, fertilizer exists. It's like hydroponics. Tomatoes grow really well in pure white sand if you fertilize them.

SoylentNews is social media. Says so right in the slogan. Soylentnews is people, not tech.
