Americans proposed that Ukraine concede half of the profits from its mineral rights in perpetuity... in exchange for essentially nothing.

So, I'm sending an email to every MLA about the Act Respecting Government Organization and Administration. And it includes 5 reflection questions, because that's not at all annoying. Anyway, these are some of the questions MLAs need to consider:

"Everything is a conspiracy when you don't know how anything works" is a potent explanation for these times. E.g. the Missouri AG suing Starbucks for "DEI" leading to slow and expensive coffees (in his febrile imagination).
