Integrating Your Way to Oblivion
I hope our American and Canadian readers had a good Labor/Labour Day weekend. Herewith, a brisk survey of the passing scene: ~Today the 47th president appeared, finally, to break with the 45th president on what he had continued to insist was his great achievement - the Covid vaccines: This makes me want to cry.
