It’s the same old game. One side doesn’t like what the other side is proposing so they will block every attempt to pass the other party’s legislation. The difference this time is that the entire country’s infrastructure hangs in the balance.
Even Washington politicians of all parties know that this country lags behind most of the industrialized world in keeping bridges, roads, railways, drinking water, internet access and a host of other basic necessities up to an acceptable standard. These issues have been with us for decades and we finally have an administration willing to make the effort to make life better for all Americans.
Everyone knew that such a project was going to cost a lot of money, even in Washington dollars. It started out at around six trillion dollars and the political process has whittled it down to 1.5 trillion. The Democrats want to pay for the plan by taxing the rich and making them pay the fair share that they have not been paying for years.

Information is never lost, not even in a black hole (as per Hawking) seems to be the consensus among all or nearly all astro-physicists.
Can someone knowledgeable please explain what they mean by “information?”
If that proposition is true, does it mean that, in principle, It is possible to learn what happened at any moment in the past, by gathering all the bits of information, and analyzing how they fit together?
I really do hope to read responses to this question.

From their newsletter:
“We are pleased to announce the hiring of Maya Richmond to be our next Executive Director, taking over the position from Annie Guion, who has filled the role since 2008.
Maya has 18 years of animal welfare experience and has led progressive change at her previous organizations. As the first shelter in Vermont to create an affordable veterinary care program, that kind of leadership is important to WCHS. The board and staff are looking forward to expanding existing programs and creating new ones under Maya’s leadership. Animal welfare has changed dramatically in the last decade and, like most things, was deeply impacted by the pandemic. In 2020, WCHS helped a record 2,000 animals, taking in close to 600 homeless animals and providing veterinary care to over 1,400 local animals.

We got the predicted rain last night. Sometime after midnight, in the darkest hours of the night, the rain began to pour. It was hard not to notice. Even the cat was intrigued, opening the curtains to look out despite the fact that it was before dawn.
