Every program should have a sunset clause set at five year intervals. In order to reup a program it requires a 2/3rds majority of congress in both houses.

If a program can't get 2/3rds support then it most likely is a failure.

Although the reason the Dems want to move primaries in front of the Iowa caucuses is because they are self-hating, anti-white racists, it still might be a good idea if this undermines the ethanol cabal who requires all candidates to pledge their allegiance to ethanol to have any hopes of doing well in the caucuses.

“Ethanol is an industry that enjoys no natural market.”

Humans have been drinking ethanol for thousands of years.

“Among all currently married adults in 2016, 76% of men and 77% of women were in their first marriage.”

https://www.census.gov/newsroom/press-releases/2021/marriages-and-divorces.html

Most marriages last. A few people marry serially, making averages look awful.

This article starts out by talking about marriages failing and then makes an abrupt jump to talking about ethanol. Kind of a bait and switcheroo.

I recall reading lately that that fifty percent stat which we’ve been hearing since the seventies was debunked. So it’s been re-bunked?

I dunno, I think marriage is more like a deck of cards...

...starts out all hearts and diamonds...

...but in the end, all you want is a club and a spade.

;)

I was good at marriage. I’ve done it once, and it lasted until she passed.

half of all US marriages end up in divorce.

No, they don't.

This is not true and has never been true. It was a speculation back in the 70s of something that might happen in the future. But here it is, repeated by someone who could not be bothered to do his homework.

A lie at the beginning whether there by sheer laziness, deliberate attempt to deceive or stupidity means that there is no point in reading further.
