Niger's decision to end its counterterrorism alliance with Washington came after senior U.S. officials accused the country's ruling junta of secretly exploring a deal to allow Iran access to its uranium reserves, Nigerien and U.S. officials say. The decision to end military cooperation with the U.S. was announced Saturday night by a spokesman for the Nigerien junta. It deals a serious blow to the Biden administration's efforts to contain a sprawling Islamist insurgency in the Sahel, the semiarid region south of the Sahara. read more
Project leaders estimate it will still need an additional $100 billion to finish what voters were originally pitched in 2008: a bullet train that runs between San Francisco and Los Angeles. A timeline on its completion has not been set as the authority waits for environmental clearances for those segments. "It's been tough to fund a project with something that has an expiration date," Kelly noted. "We're doing it in building blocks. We're giving you the portions we think we can get done with the funding we have." read more
Ricardo Lopez was long reluctant to raise the prices at his Mission District restaurant La Vaca Birria, where he serves succulent beef braised in a red broth packed into burritos and tacos. But as of late, he simply has no other choice to remain afloat. "I wish there was something else that I could do," he said. Just like seemingly every other restaurant in the Bay Area, prices have been increasing at La Vaca Birria, and customers aren't always accepting of the change. So in a recent Instagram post, Lopez addressed a customer complaint about high prices and broke down the reasons his popular grilled cheese birria burrito has gone from $11 a couple of years ago to its current price of $22. read more

Unless I missed something, you already can't buy Chinese cars in America.

But its kind of missing the point. Chinese vehicle quality improved, OEMs branched out into Eastern Europe, India, and Mexico.
It won't be long now for Western Europe to fall.
Eyes are on the US market, 2025-2030.
NAFTA I imagine, Chinese are going to build them in Mexico.

Chinese and Tesla are innovating ... American legacy manufactures are stagnating because IMO they (autoworkers and management) know they will be bailed out.
I don't buy this explanation. The only thing a seat adjustment would affect if it came too close is the yoke.
Well not exactly.
Cessna 150s have a seat rail AD, pertaining to the seat sliding backwards/forewards.
It looks like it could have been more of a maintenance issue.

There are many issues being reported, with the SFO United facility as the point of origination.

nor you as far as I can tell. Willfully ignoring what he actually said vs some contextomy does in fact reality doesn't matter to you.
Trump policies on immigration, energy, and economy all have huge flaws, yet all 90% o the posters here seem to care about is the fact he used a WORD, not a sentence, but a WORD, which is used often to describe LAYOFFS.....
