in analysis, people realized that he could no longer do what he needed to do, because he was now labeled as "that guy who couldn't answer questions because he was eating a cookie" For Biden, he can no longer do the job, because he has a label he will never shake. It will impact everything

about a decade ago, our health services CEO responded to a bunch of questions from media saying "I can't answer you, can't you see I'm eating a cookie?" He is a smart guy, had good policy chops, was making a difference. But he quit a few days later.

Burning coal is the most dirty, polluting, and inefficient way to get electricity.
As early as 1306, Edward I banned Londoners from burning it, due to its noxious smog.
So which countries are phasing it out the fastest now?
Greece and the UK lead the way!
