5News reports:

President Donald Trump appears to have changed his story about a 2016 meeting at Trump Tower that is pivotal to the special counsel's investigation, tweeting that his son met with a Kremlin-connected lawyer to collect information about his political opponent.

[...] That is a far different explanation than Trump gave 13 months ago, when a statement dictated by the president but released under the name of Donald Trump Jr., read: "We primarily discussed a program about the adoption of Russian children that was active and popular with American families years ago."

    True, it doesn't make sense to grow fruit and let it rot. OTOH I worked in an office building whose footprint (and parking lot) had been an orchard where I picked fruit less than 5 years earlier. Now NOBODY will get any fruit, probably forever, because it will never go back to being an orchard. I'm sure someone made much more money than selling fruit . . . once.

    And that would be a big deal, if it weren't for the enormous acreage devoted to the growing of fruit.

    I'm sure someone made much more money than selling fruit . . . once.

    And the people who use such office space. They make much more money than selling fruit indefinitely.
