It would be a disaster to get rid of FEMA.
The agency is on life support. According to recent news reports, the Trump administration is poised to act on President Trump's desire to reduce the federal government's role in responding to disasters and to downsize or eliminate FEMA. This comes on top of the administration trying to freeze over $100 billion in payments FEMA had promised to states for rebuilding and increasing disaster resilience after Hurricane Helene and for responding to the California wildfires and other disasters last year. Eliminating FEMA would be a disaster. The fact that the conversation is happening at all shows that we are in a different era of disaster politics than the one that FEMA emerged from in the 1960s and 1970s. FEMA has become shorthand for the larger policy shift of that era, where states, localities and nongovernmental agencies such as the American Red Cross were shuddering under the burden of increasingly costly disasters. Billions of dollars of homes, businesses and public infrastructure were brought into risky areas after World War II because of economic growth. In places like coastal Mississippi, the Red Cross and private insurance were not given enough deference....

Daylight Saving should be stopped because of health and economic risks.
Lawmakers from both sides of the aisle strongly considered the benefits of stopping the clock in a Senate Commerce Committee hearing.

Cruz said that changing the clocks is more than an annoyance for many Americans. The idea was simple. Less hours of darkness resulted in less electricity use for lighting and heating.

The great panic of torpedoes and bats.
During the opening weekend of the new season, the New York Yankees hit three home runs on the first three pitches. The final score was close to being true. Everyone noticed the bats. The bats of a few Yankees were shaped more like bowling pins than clubs, and they used unconventional instruments to hit home runs. The bulge at the place on the bat where the player tends to hit the ball was designed by an MIT-trained physicist. After at least a century of baseball bats that all looked the same, it is time for a new set of rules. After the Yankees hit a franchise-record nine home runs in one game, media coverage of torpedo bats exploded, and manufacturers are struggling to meet demand from other teams.

The stock market slump that affected Big Tech, Big pharma, investment banks, energy companies and the defense industry is the focus of the news flow. The Swedish hate rhetoric against Trump and Putin that they feed the population around the clock is just one of the things Swedish mass media offers. They are making a big deal out of Zelensky's claim that Chinese soldiers have been captured, but they don't report that the Ukrainian military has struck Russian energy facilities twice in the past 24 hours. The commander of the 47th separate mechanized brigade of the armed forces of Ukraine, Hamlet Avagyan, was quoted by the Ukrainian publication as saying that another 200 people from the country are expected to arrive in the area. The ambassador in Moscow admitted in an interview with RIA that they don't have exact data on the number of mercenaries taking part in the fighting, but it is known that up to 80 people have died at the front. Considering how many months the MSM spent reporting on the alleged North Koreans fighting on Russia's side, it would have been appropriate to inform about this as well.
