Would not, Tit for Tat be Fair?

I suggest this as a possible de-escalation not an escalation. Notify Russia that for each cruise missile they launch at Ukraine NATO will supply Ukraine a cruise missile. Maybe just start at one for each 10 and if that does not get Russia to reduce its attacks then the ratio…

I have an idea why Whales are killing themselves

I fear that the whales are desperate to save their kind from extinction. Habitat destruction (food supply shortage) is an existential threat to whales. They need a lot of food, and their food supply is being disrupted. Being the intelligent and possibly very caring animals they are, they are sacrificing…

I am the only one who has this.

Income disparity may be at a historic high, but it feels as though the wealthy are less visible than ever. Consider the one of a kind stuff that you don’t even know is one of a kind and maybe extra special. I don’t want to spend a lot of money…
