Economies that run entirely on fossil fuels can now be likened to zombies trudging along one lumbering dead step after another.
Both former gubernatorial candidate David Perdue and Florida Governor DeSantis are proposing an election police force to bolster the Big Lie from Trump that the 2020 election was stolen. Maybe these police should be called the "Election Outcome Enforcement Bureau."
