Is that including dealing with the coal ash?

Or, after dividends are paid out, do consumers and taxpayers have to pay for the coal ash clean-up?

No, didn't trump recend the regulations around coal ash in his first term?

They will just dump it in the rivers, what harm could it bring?
 
Indonesia is on fire. It won't make a lot of noise in the USA but there are mass protests going on throughout the country. It's the same story we are seeing throughout the world - democratic country begins backsliding, leader with authoritarian impulses begins tipping the scales further, people get mad -> leader uses the anger to push the country further down the authoritarian road. Probowo began his term in October of last year and it is a 5 year term. So, this is just beginning and Indonesia is the 4th largest country in the world by population.

Three dead after protests over death of taxi driver in Indonesia

The demonstrations - which also focus on cost-of-living and politicians expenses - are seen as a key test for President Prabowo Subianto.

That article makes it seem like all of this is related to the delivery driver's death a few days ago - but in reality this has been simmering all year. The economy is slowing despite the government publishing somewhat healthy economic figures (sounds familiar?) and many doubt the authenticity of the growth figures (again - familiar?). Unemployment - especially youth unemployment - is a problem and inflation seems to be an issue even though the government inflation figures are quite healthy.
 
Tata served as supertendant for Wake County Schools . Some school board members and former administrators allege that former Wake superintendent Tony Tata created a “culture of fear” in the central office. His generous public persona, which earned him wide popularity, contrasted with his threatening private demeanor in the workplace, they say.
He served as Secretary of Transportation of North Carolina from 2013 to 2015 under Governor Pat McCrory.As I recall he resigned overnight Zipper problems was the generally accepted reason

Trump is dead is apparently trending on Twitter. Basically the conspiracy theory is the lack of events coupled with that thing on his hand the other day means he is in perilous health. The smoking gun is that his golf outing this weekend was apparently canceled.

Plus JD Vance giving an interview to USA Today weirdly framed around how ready he is to assume the presidency if needed.

But just some weird social media pile-on to try to force focus negative media attention on Trump’s health.
 
Unfortunately, Trump ain’t dead yet. We ain’t that lucky. He’s just taking a long, Labor Day weekend vacay. He’ll prolly show up at the Texas - Ohio State game today, to huge, boisterous cheers from the college football faithful. College football fans love them some Donnie J.
 
The real tell was that completely random and totally bizarre comment that Trump made to the media like two weeks ago about hoping he would go to heaven but the prospects of such not looking so good. Trump has never been a religious person at all.

It would be very hard for him to appear elsewhere if he was last seen at the White House and journalists have not seen a motorcade or a helicopter depart the grounds.
