Before this obvious retcon, Alan Scott was married (twice) with two children who became superheroes. Not sure why DC needed to do this. They could have just introduced a new character. BTW, one of Alan Scott’s kids turned out to be that way...
I drive a 2023 Lexus RX350h. 2.5L Atkinson cycle Hybrid. The battery is NiMH, not Li-Ion. No worries about fires. I get 40+ mpg in the summer, but 32-35 in the colder months in mixed mode driving. Great car. Not easy to get and $$$$. But Toyota pioneered Hybrid technology and they are the wizards at it. They also are being dragging kicking and screaming towards BEVs. Toyota also is the biggest player in hydrogen cars, which I think is even better, and a simpler infrastructure with fast refueling times. This is a smart move for them. The battery boost at takeoff is sweet really, even for a heavy car like the RX. If you want something beefy with a V8 - get a GX. Those are terrific SUVs.
Airlines usually contact the gate agent to let them know how many wheelchairs are needed. And these folks are the first to board and last to deplane. No excuse.

I have bags of Swerve at home but I only used it a few months earlier this year. Probably will toss them. Artificial sweeteners probably aren’t the best for our bodies. I drank Diet Coke for 35 years almost exclusively but quit it back in June. Can’t say I feel any different. On Mounjaro now too... man that stuff works great!
The key word here in your statement is “may”. We simply don’t and won’t ever know. Paying the ultimate price as a child is tragic, that’s all I am saying. Deserved to die? I wouldn’t go so far. Actions have consequences and some people are indeed innocent and maybe the Aunt is correct. No way to know now. I don’t try to paint with such a broad brush. Just being pragmatic. There is no solution unfortunately. Things have regressed almost too far to be salvageable.
These days, post Covid - the airlines cram as many into the jets as they can and have cut so many flights. Some due to fuel prices, or staffing, but by doing so, they also shrunk the seats so that any flight within the CONUS of more than two hours is very uncomfortable. You don’t see this with international carriers, who don’t cram their jets, and even if they do, the seat pitch is much better.

At first I didn’t understand Trump attacking DeSantis prior to RDS getting in the race… now I see the strategy. He has RDS in a box. He has no choice but to attack Trump and by doing so, he weakens his standing with the base. The MAGA base isn’t vitriolic at Vivek because Vivek doesn’t attack Trump. Trump also leaves him alone because he doesn’t perceive him as a threat. I think had Trump not attacked RDS at the very beginning, that Ron would have sided more with DJT. They really aren’t miles apart. I am sure Trump admired the shipping illegals to Martha’s Vineyard. Probably laughed his ass off at that.
