Members of Congress should not be allowed to own individual stock.
We are here to serve the public, not to profiteer. It’s shocking that it’s even been allowed up to this point.

If 1024 fair coins are each tossed 10 times, chances are good (> 63%) that at least one will come up heads 10 times in a row; and that coin will be proud to explain how its skill, faith, guts & determination made its achievement possible, and how that combo can work for you too.

Technically, it's only a concentration camp if it's in the concentration region of Germany.

I’m always amazed by the disconnect between what we see in the news and the reality of the world around us. As my late friend Hans Rosling would say, we must fight the fear instinct that distorts our perspective: b-gat.es/2WvUqqp

Me: Neato! I'm a glutton for punishment

.@AOC nails it: “the reason we’re not excited by [automation/robots] is because we live in a society where if you don’t have a job, you are left to die. And that is, at its core, our problem.”

#DYK that a large area of low pressure & extremely cold air usually swirls over the Arctic & traps the cold around the Pole? Disturbances in the jet stream + intrusion of warmer air can disturb this #PolarVortex & make it unstable, sending Arctic air south go.nasa.gov/2FZspE2
