Raging Chicken's Friday Politics Roundup for June 24, 2022. We're back at our regular time and there's a lot going on. Amy Knecht is back to help to dig into the good, the bad, and the ugly in state and national politics.
Joe Biden finally signs the build back a little bit bill, aka the Inflation Reduction Act. Yes, it’s the biggest climate legislation in U.S. history. No, it will not be enough and we are once again putting faith in the market and the tax code, because that’s the only way we do policy in this country.
Speaking of climate change, the Colorado River is at historic lows. Have you seen the pics? It’s not just the U.S. astounding pictures of the Loire River, France’s longest river, reduced to a trickle is pretty telling of our climate future.
New study finds the emergence of an “extreme heat belt” in the U.S. By 2053, an area running from Texas to Illinois will hit a heat index of at least 125 degrees at least one day a year.
Liz Cheney, to no one’s surprise, lost her primary to a Big Lie proponent.
School Boards are back in session! Palisades held its first meeting of the new school year this past Wednesday night. A few irate parents showed up and demanded answers from the Superintendent over a trespassing incident that occurred at one the elementary schools.
Fetterman is heating up the troll machine in his race against the Wizard of Oz. How’s shopping at Wegners for crudité - that’s a veggie tray for us plain folk.
Big D&D news. Wizards of the Coast announced the coming of One D&D which will include an updated rule system, digital and hardcover book bundles, and a digital platform driven by the Unreal Engine…all through D&D beyond.
