But NASA does care about Congress approving its budget requests. And the Republican controlled House and Republican filibustering Senate minority do not want anything done about climate change.

Thus sadly, it may lead to blowback against NASA by the currently insane US right. There's already talk about elimination of NOAA (National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration), privatizing its weather forecasting, and restructuring NASA's Earth observation initiatives that involve climate research.

Regardless of who wins the presidency next month and who has the majority in either house of Congress, the Republican party will try to block such research or dismiss its findings.

If Trump wins, he and his Agenda 2025 cronies (including his VP) will manipulate him to rip anything like this out. Plus Trump's boss Putin needs to keep selling fossil fuels as the main thing keeping Russia's economy afloat.

You will be blessed with an absolutely glorious cat.

We once found an abandoned smoky grey longhair that young and that mighty cat was the ruler of our household for many years. May you have ages of love and hijinks with this kitty!

Oh crap I was about to try changes to my auto policy on the lizard's online portal to see if I could get it any cheaper while still having enough liability, uninsured, property damage, collision and comprehensive for my litigious state. Glad I saw your warning not to consider modifications in this screwy market. Thank you!

I still may shop it to a different company before my end-August 45% rate hike. Not considering the phone spyware discount though, for the reasons you mentioned.
