Keystone XL pipeline: biggest loser? Mexico. Amazing. More dots connect. Peter Zeihan.

To add insult to injury, Mexico's preexisting refineries were designed to process Mexico’s own heavy, sour crude, not the light, sweet stuff coming from the US. So, even if the US wanted to send some crude Mexico’s way, it would be futile. If Mexico continues down this path, they'll be forced to import refined US oil or rely on unstable regions for crude that matches their refineries’ needs. Either way, this dependency would cause major economic and political challenges.

College scene: highest-paid graduates.

Beyond the Ivies, colleges and universities with robust STEM programs finished strong: MIT claimed the top spot on Payscale’s ranking, The United States Naval Academy landed third, Harvey Mudd College fourth and the California Institute of Technology 13th. Stanford: 6th.

Students who choose to study science, engineering and mathematics generally outearn those who study liberal arts after graduation. Petroleum engineering is the highest-paying major overall, with graduates in that field earning an average $212,000 after working for 10 or more years.

What MAGA folks aren't saying: Trump just loss debate --

• a woman
• a woman of color
• a woman of color who was said to be unable to talk in coherent sentences
• no wonder Trump said he's done with debating her
• most interesting: no one seems to care; no one is calling for another debate.

Grammarly? Nope -- Apple Intelligence -- September 12, 2024

Locator: 48576APPLE.

With the new iPhone 16 you won't need Grammarly.  Grammarly-equivalent is now "part" of iPhone 16's Apple Intelligence. 

So, whatever your iPhone 16 costs you, knock of $140 if you had planned to pay for Grammarly -- and that's an annual fee. Every year, $140 for Grammarly. Wow. 

Comes "free" with the new iPhone 16 and every iPhone after that.

Tell me again, Apple iPhones are too expensive. We haven't even begun to discuss the camera. I'm saving that for last. LOL.
