But, you didn't use British units.

I was doing a thread of mainstream news because there's not enough news on Bluesky. But, I found very little on Tennessee. So, I'm attaching my earlier thread about a disaster in Erwin, TN.

Biden may call "Congress in for a special session to help with the response to what he called a 'catastrophic' and 'history-making storm." He says Asheville’s water system was “completely down.” Gift link! [Many news articles rn are on Trump claiming Biden isn't helping survivors. I'm ignoring!]

The president, who plans to travel to North Carolina this week, said he might need to call Congress in for a special session after it did not include additional disaster relief in its spending bill.

[AP story has 8 bylines] Mike Toberer decided to bring a dozen of his mules to deliver food, water and diapers to hard-to-reach mountainous areas. “We’ll take our chainsaws, and we’ll push those mules through,” he said, noting that each one can carry about 200 pounds (90 kilograms) of supplies.

Supplies arrive by plane and by mule in North Carolina as Helene's death toll tops 130

The death toll after Hurricane Helene left a trail of destruction across the U.S. Southeast has reached at least 133.

@cristianfarias.com Sounds like she's gone off the reservation. Qui tam should be an effective check on the "deep state".

I read some years back that the ILA backed automation as long as the new jobs automation brought on went to the union, presumably higher-skilled at higher pay. Rather than defending ones made obsolete.

These mainstream pronatalist pieces are being published while Musk is ranting on X using pronatalist conspiracy theories to argue America needs to elect an authoritarian:

Post from Musk on X on Sept 29, 11:11AM: Very few Americans realize that, if Trump is NOT elected, this will be the last election. Far from being a threat to democracy, he is the only way to save it!

Let me explain: if even 1 in 20 illegals become citizens per year, something that the Democrats are expediting as fast as humanly possible, that would be about 2 million new legal voters in 4 years. 

The voting margin in the swing states is often less than 20 thousand votes. That means if the “Democratic” Party succeeds, there will be no more swing states!! 

Moreover, the Biden/Harris administration has been flying “asylum seekers”, who are fast-tracked to citizenship, directly into swing states like Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wisconsin and Arizona. It is a surefire way to win every election. 

America then becomes a one-party state and Democracy is over. The only “elections” will be the Democratic Party primaries. This already happened in California many years ago, following the 1986 amnesty.
