    The fight over a Confederate monument at Arlington National Cemetery.

    IMO, confederates were and are traitors. We should remember what they did, what they stood for, and why these things happened at historical sites like Gettysburg.

    There's a national cemetery in Riverside, CA. If I go there, I don't want to see any celebration of traitors. You can put up Benedict Arnold monuments at sites where key events occurred with his participation, but they don't belong at other national monuments. And so it is with the Confederacy.

    Guess what? It isn't unusual for regular folks to wait five or sometimes even ten minutes for a page to load. They're generally running a low-end device from a few years back (except their phones, which are whatever the cellular company was pushing two years ago).

    Great #videochat with #GS3, #GS4, and briefly #GS5. We talked about their books that I'm reading for them. Also about their outing yesterday ... the family went for a drive ... #sonTwo didn't say that they stopped anywhere, either. Usually, such trips end up with a stop at a city park if the weather is okay.

    I don't like coconut, but I have squeezed a lime and let the juice drip into a canteloupe. That was good.

    > earnings per sponsored post,

    It looks like "if $SPONSOR pays you to post, then you get $PAYMENT" for each one. Or for each click on a sponsored post.

    So it sounds like talk radio, where the announcer always yells you that they use $SPONSORED_PRODUCT and it does wonderful things for them.

    Still, $780K to $2.4M per post presumes the person's followers are very gullible. Are they going to buy $SPONSORED_PRODUCT in droves because $ONLINE_CELEBRITY posted about it?

    I won't be surprised when such pay scales collapse to $5 or less per post, because there is no way a single post is swinging that many people into buying.

    I don’t trust any government with this sort of feature. If they can easily turn off specific instances of currency, they will start with organized crime, then progress until shut down your money when:
    * a member of your household downloads media in violation of copyright
    * a member of your household uses “gamer words” in Fortnite or Roblox
    * a member of your household votes for the “wrong” candidate
    * a member of your household participates in a protest that could affect someone rich and powerful

    Yes, I did yell out the f-word at her.

    I'm trying to clean up my language, because I don't want to use those words around the youngest grandkids. But there are some things that bring out the "gamer words".
