Libre office falls over on the evil spreadsheet we used for project planning at my last job: SCS (self correcting schedule). You'd check it out, add your progress updates, and it would tell you if the project is running late. Genius and an insane abuse of a tool. But at least we didn't need to get every team lead a copy of MS Project.

9.2 million according to Paragon Health Institute, and no one else.

Let's say it's true though. Is it all fraud? Much of it is automatic enrollment. Simply bad management by the government, as it continues to re-enroll people that have not been eligible since the end of the pandemic. (which is where most of them got added in)

Most straight-forward solution is to fast track the delayed eligibility reviews. And the OBBBA mandates that states do the reviews on a schedule, but it doesn't offer resources or a grace period. So no soft landing, and likely people dropped who shouldn't be in the scramble. (like my Mother who can't travel and is now denied a remote interview. social worker and attorney are now involved, so we'll see)

Pelosi's trading is well documented, public information in fact. But proving insider trading, even under the STOCK Act, is very difficult and nobody has picked up the case. There's a lack of concrete legal evidence to convict. Going ahead without evidence as a political witch hunt would fail spectacularly, another Ken Starr debacle like his empty accusation during the Whitewater scandal.

For what it's worth, I would be fine charging Pelosi and the entire Trump family for how they have abused their position. But I'm not going to hold my breath that any of these politicians will answer to the American People for what they have done with the power we granted to them.

It's a simple switch for someone to go from being God-fearing to believing that God has sent them on a mission and will protect them.

I prefer rationality and reason over fear and faith. If I cannot reason with someone, and the pose a danger, then collectively we can agree on what to do with them. Instead of letting an imaginary god or gods sort it out for us. (they never do)

Hawaiian eruption last a long time and the lava flows persist for years. That's a very different problem from Iceland. There is of course a very big attitude difference owing to the difference in culture. There is a practical side that it is easier to move people and build coffee shacks than divert a lava flow reliable for months or years, without it spilling over into someone's property and creating a legal nightmare. In Hawaii, if the lava is coming your way, you load up all the pets and kids into your truck and move out. That's how people always lived there, and it's something you basically accept when you live on a volcano that is sacred to the native culture.

Circumstantial and you wouldn't be able to, even in a civil court in the US, reliably win a case against an individual.
Even if the majority of people provably cheated, that doesn't translate into an automatic win in a court against an individual.

P.S. this is Mexico, so it's unlikely a court would even hear a case. It would be directed to the university tribunal, and I don't know UNAM's reputation but if I were a student I wouldn't expect a fair shake from a University when the outcome is so embarrassing for them.
