The weekend of July 6th

There were 100 people that suffered heat related complications, 33 died and in the US 3 people died of heat related stress.

July 3rd Montana was blanked with snow as Eugene, Oregon registered 38 F. 

This is the climate crisis and the way deaths occur. They sometimes occur in large numbers as in 2003 when a heat wave took 70,000 lives in one week. Most climate deaths occur in small numbers, but, adding at least 60,000 unnecessary deaths per year.
Atherton East is a neighborhood in the south side of Flint, Michigan. A fight broke out in that neighborhood with police and residents on July 20, 2013. The reason was a double homicide of a woman, Yolanda Hill and her 12 year old daughter, Cherish Hill-Renfro.

Mayor Karen Weaver will hold a news conference on Monday, July 9th to announce a private-public project that will relocate the residents of of Atherton East in a four phase process into a mixed income neighborhood called Clark Commons.

This project is a departure from past public housing that was more segregated than helpful. 

ClarkCommons is a joint effort by the Flint Housing Commission and Norstar Developers. Others entering the planning is Mott Comminity College Workforce Development, Hurley Medical Center and the Flint and Genesee Literacy Network.

These grants are part of the Choice Neighbors Grants. These grants recognize the need for Affitdable Housing in neighborhoods that are functional and more economically diverse. If an American doesn’t know or understand the depth of opportunity of the Middle Class and how upward movement works to improve quality of life, how do they know the way forward? 

Congratulations to Mayor Weaver and the City of Flint.
The Chinese tariffs on Agricultural products will hit large corporate farmers opposed to small family farms. The little local agricultural markets with local farmers will not be effected. These are specialty and organic farmers.
There is a new reality recently with some trucking firms that depend on the car industry (the backbone of the US economy) for their freight; they are asking their drivers for voluntary layoffs because the volume has suddenly dropped. That will not show up on this jobs report.
Donald Trump knowingly lies while defaming CERTAIN media organizations to create a new reality. FOX Mews (News)  profits from those lies (easily led down the primrose path) and now there is a FOX News Pimp as communications director in the White House. It is a perfect nexus to destroy the truth. Soon children in school will be saying the sky is purple and mean it.

It seems to me he is either taking lessons from Putin (who wants to drop bombs on the USA while Americans wallow in their FOX Mews (pussy) unreality) or this is actually the methodology that built the Trump Organization, which explains multiple Chapter 11 bankruptcies.
