Then the elves also wanted to be working remotely for Santa. Before they served as field staff doing assessments for managed plans.

After the assessments, they would go home and finish up any documentation that needed to be done.

Fasten your belts, Americans workers you are are in for more turmoil over the next four years after Trump threw the year-end spending debates into chaos by rejecting a stopgap spending bill negotiated by a group of bipartisan congressional leaders. The entire American government will be exposed for all to see the existence of bone-deep prejudices. What’s the alternative? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=av1oBVZsroA Unfortunately this is the way it’s got to be, and so it goes.

The NOAA’s Sea Level Rise Viewer provides a sobering glimpse into the future of America’s coastal regions.

While reflecting on the complex and dynamic nature of the United States—how our strength relies on diversity and individualism, but also how this can sometimes lead to fragmentation. There's an undeniable tension in the idea that the country’s chaotic blend of perspectives, identities, and values could either be its downfall or its greatest asset. Diversity, while often challenging to manage, creates a kind of unpredictability that makes it tough to control or dominate the American spirit.

The idea that America is "uncontrollable" is powerful. It speaks to the inherent resilience and independence documented throughout the nation’s history. From the Revolution to civil rights movements and beyond, Americans have often defied authority or resisted conformity. It’s not always smooth or even peaceful, but it’s a persistent force.

The struggle for cohesion can be both a weakness and a strength. The fact that so many people, ideologies, and cultures coexist here creates a nation that's perpetually evolving, and often innovating. A fool who thinks they can control US might be in for a rude awakening.

What are your thoughts on how this mix of strengths and challenges plays out in current times?
