One point. I have never owned an encyclopedia unless Encarta counts. My parents owned one when I was a kid, and I used the library encyclopedia a ton. I'm in my early 50s. I'm surprised the encyclopedia is not the most common point.

Bees aren't the only arthropods having this problem, but for most of the other non-pollinators people seem to think "good less bugs to bother me. " I guess we should just give up on the survival of the food chain.
The news for insects is not entirely bad, emerald ash borers are finding the ability to survive in areas that were formerly too cold for them. This allows them to kill more trees turning them into kindling for lightning strikes and other fire starting events.
Who could have known that fucking with our habitat might have negative consequences for us?
Ah, who are the snowflakes again?? Got to suppress criticism, especially if it is funny.
Trump has the littlest stick of any president. Is it true? I don't know, but lots of people are saying it.
I would expect American insurgents supporting our former Canadian allies and friends.
In addition to the appalling foster care kid stats for homeless, around 13% of homeless are veterans (obviously some qualify as both). Funny how support for the military dries up once they get discharged.

I don't like that a team can have the second best record in the entire NFL, but if the best record is in their division they get a road game against a mediocre division winner as a reward (you can easily imagine a 13-4 division runner up getting a road game against an 8-9 division winner.
Hey, JD, would you agree that Puerto Rico has a terrible president? One of the worst in history?
Regarding comment 2, there is nothing legal that can be done about the situation. What am I supposed to do? Enjoy a vacation to Gitmo?
If we get some good Rossby waves locking heat domes in the right places, climate change could starve a whole bunch of people in a short order. It only happens in a few models, so maybe we should just carry on ignoring the problem. We definitely haven't been seeing headlines about awful climate problems arriving decades sooner than the models predict with frequent alarming regularity.
It would be amazing if the Senate inadvertently caused a run on the banks. What if every Wells Fargo customer said, fuck it, I am moving my money to a local CU this week? I would be so happy. Can't wait for closing your account to be made a war crime. Move your shit while it's legal!
