With a collapsing economy, mounting COVID-19 deaths, and sinking poll numbers, President Donald Trump on Tuesday night used a primetime interview to sound the alarm over what will surely go down in history as one of the worst atrocities of the 21st century: all the birds that keep getting sucked up and devoured by windmills.

We are doing more testing than any country in the world by far, he groused, repeating a favorite gripe of his. Because of that, we will have more cases. We are testing people. We have more cases. If you dont test, you dont have cases.
And thats called fake news gold because they say cases, thats all they say is talk about cases, Trump continued. But what were doing is the greatest testing anywhere in the world. The most on the best. Best quality. We are doing very well with that.
For weeks now, the president has grumbled about testing, suggesting multiple times that the only reason cases skyrocketed in June and July is due to the increased number of overall tests. Trump, however, has ignored the fact that since mid-June, the positivity rate across the nation has risen precipitously and is still above 7 percent.

(4,533 posts)It is tragic that windmills kill birds. We can minimize that by putting them where birds are not common and by other methods. But the toxic products of the coal power industry kill incredibly more birds.so putting up windmills to eliminate coal cuts bird deaths enormously.
