Economy, The
It would be pleasant to see the free market tried.
Health News
More things to worry about? It's all connected. Wheat and grain products generally tend to be contaminated with lots of things--"pesticide" residues, mold, weevil body parts, plain old rancid oil, and tiny particles of plastic from their biodegradable plastic wrappings. Glyphosate is the one aggravating celiac reactions and producing pseudo-celiac reactions, I'm 99.999% certain--partly because it'd be so easy for Bayer to fund a test that would not support this conclusion as resoundingly as all the anecdotal data I've ever found does, and they don't dare, which tells us something. That doesn't mean the other nasties aren't contributing to some of the chronic illness some people have. Glufosinate, which some corporations are substituting for glyphosate in "herbicides," is chemically similar to glyphosate and gives me reactions that are similar to glyphosate reactions but nastier. I've not noticed any reaction whatsoever that might be associated with plastic waste; that doesn't mean that people won't notice such reactions if we continue using biodegradable plastic at current levels of profligacy. The US government has made it possible that the "organic" label does NOT mean that food may not contain enough glyphosate to produce symptoms. "Organically grown" food packaged in plastic can contain plastic waste, too.
Music
No actual train here, though the musical composition may recall the composer's "duet with a freight train" stunt from a previous summer.
Weather
The heat wave is not as bad as some people urged us to overprepare for, but it does lend this joke relevance...
