[ad_1] Arbor Day has its roots in the 1870s, when the horticulturist J. Sterling Morton spearheaded a movement to green Nebraska’s largely treeless plains. Since then, citizens, businesses and governments have marked April 26 by planting trees in schoolyards, parks and neighborhoods.In recent years, tree-planting has been touted as no less than a means of empowering people to combat climate change. Gratifying and photographable, planting a tree seems to be a small but tangible act that almost anyone can undertake to reduce their carbon footprint and feel good about it.The science, however, suggests a more strategic use of our time…

[ad_1] QUESTION: Hi Martin, What are you thoughts on holding cash into 2028? You said cash was king, but there would come a time to abandon cash. It seems this CBDC thing is what you are talking about. Do you have any time yet? See you in London Kind regards, HF ANSWER: Europeans are much more familiar with canceling currency.

[ad_1] I’ve lived and/or worked in 10 states scattered across the country. Arizona was and remains the most complicated. The same state that elected the first openly gay mayor of a large U.S. city is also the state that did not want a federal holiday for Martin Luther King Jr. Opinion Columnist LZ Granderson LZ Granderson writes about culture, politics, sports and navigating life in America. Perhaps the cultural pendulum swings so drastically because the population shifts depending on the time of year — shoutout to you snowbirds.Whatever the season, though, Arizona is not a liberal epicenter like New York.…

[ad_1] COMMENT: Mr. Armstrong, You may be a trader, but your understanding of constitutional law far surpasses that of most attorneys. I heard your father was also such a man. As you have raised, Justice Thomas even asked if Trump’s lawyer, John Sauer, had questioned Smith’s power to prosecute any president. Justice Thomas asked, “Did you, in this litigation, challenge the appointment of special counsel?”   He said “We hadn’t raised it yet in this case when this case went up on appeal.” This is shocking. Justice Kavanaugh also chimed in along the same lines, warning as you do that this…

And they are hardly the only ones affected by the downturn. Doctors find themselves squeezed — many patients don’t have money for operations — while businesspeople sit on their hands, unwilling to make investments in so unpredictable an environment.
