My faith in China reporting anything truthfully is near zero, let alone believe anything they have to say about the pneumonia outbreak there. I will just wait for experts on our side to say so that its not a threat. Or in other words I am just waiting for [@AnirbanM@mastodon.social](https://micro.blog/AnirbanM@mastodon.social) to tell me whether to worry or not!

How can we keep running out of money for Ukraine war? I honestly have no idea how or where 80 billion dollars were spent and the government is again back to saying need more money. Would be nice to know how its actually spent and by whom? 80 billion is a LOT of fucking money to be spent, but eh, what do I know I guess?
Is it me or it takes forever for a post to publish on micro? kinda reminds me of my college project where each publish took a minute.
Today morning we had the last of the inspections pass and close out with the county, and it turned out to be a sham. Thats ok, coz the 4 out of 5 inspectors who came by really did their jobs sincerely while the last one seemed like he was here to tick off the boxes. That said the last one was also the most bizarre and unnecessary so maybe even he knew what a farce it was. The issue was that to approve the range hood install, the county needs a air inlet from outside to compensate for all the air that’s sucked in. This is for safety but just ridiculous. We are in a single family home, with 10 windows in the living room now and more than 1000 sqft footprint. There is no scenario so much air would be sucked in that we would be left gasping for air. Plus, hello, we can open windows and doors in 2 seconds if need be. This was such a wasted exercise that everyone knows that once inspection passes, most ppl simply disconnect the air inlet and close off the ceiling! Not like it will ever be checked again.
The kid hoped to qualify for finals last night but didnt; today she felt she wouldn’t qualify and we were making plans for evening but she did. Now I am here till at least 8 till her race. My goodness these swim meets can just go on and on!
Hazelnut in Coffee doesnt taste as bad as i thought it would. Thats it. Thats the post.
I think America’s greatest gift to the world is flavored yogurt. Growing up in India, yogurt was a staple food, but you either had it with rice or as part of a savory drink or daal. Occasionally with sugar also. But never in a million years was there a thought about mixing fruits and yogurt, something I discovered only after moving here. And now I love it. So yes this is USA’s greatest gift to the world!
I am beginning to feel maybe it may not be a bad idea to invest in a property in Bangalore next year in anticipation that we may indeed need to move out or leave the country in anticipation of this country turning into a hellhole with republicans controlling the entire trifecta. Sometimes I wonder why we have delayed it so far to begin with lol. A backup option is always good!
Last evening met a few people and the conversation turned to politics. Apparently Biden is so frigging old at 82, stuttering and falling down all the time, while Trump at 78 is a husky like goofball of energy so its clear Trump will win again. Look I have no problem with you saying you don’t like some of Biden’s policies or achievements, but please, can you fucking stop using his age as an excuse, *especially* if his opponent is 78 year old mentally unstable man? Like, please?
Day 4 of this excruciatingly long swim meet. Luckily this is one of the two major meets of the year and I am happy to see it in rear view mirror after today. Plus all other venues are a decent drive that don’t need us to drive on the highway from hell, so even if they are longer, at least the commute is tolerable.
