What weather app do you recommend?

Tue Jul 4, 2023, 04:27 PM I’m looking for an app for an iPhone… but I think most of the good apps are designed to work on either Android or IO phones. Am tired of the crappy Weather Channel app that came with this phone, and they discontinued the “Dark Sky” app I had been using. Am looking for good radar imaging and weather alerts, mainly. Often find it interesting to look at global weather patterns.

stock repurchase tax -- the line that had me literally jumping up and down

By Badger Kid
| Democratic Underground
Honestly, I thought it was a terrific speech, filled with a lot of good stuff. Quadrupling the tax on stock repurchase--LOVE IT. It was the line that made me stop doing the other things I was doing and listen to the rest of the speech VERY carefully. It got me--hook, line and sinker. Personally, I think stock repurchase should be illegal. In my head, it's corporations manipulating the market and is akin to insider trading.

Response to LeftInTX (Reply #7) Fri May 13, 2022, 01:51 PM 9. I heard that discussed last night on the news although it seemed it was the RW loons who were demanding it (while they had ignored doing the same for COVID-19 PPE production - at least until they could line up the companies needed to line their own pockets ).

Response to drray23 (Reply #4) Mon Jan 3, 2022, 10:38 PM 6. If it weren't, it's a losing proposition. Take orders from another leader? A communist leader?!? That’s whom radical RepubliQs support? So to be patriotic for the USA you have to support communism? Yeah, not a winning play for them. Reply to this post Back to top Alert abuse Link here Permalink

Breaking news! NASA: We know where the aliens are. We'll find them soon. See here where.

By Judi Lynn, champion Jack, LastDemocrat InSC, Badger Kid
Response to Judi Lynn (Original post) Sun Jan 2, 2022, 08:45 PM 3. So NASA hired religious people to start laying the groundwork to accept extraterrestrial life Itís hard for me to believe religious folks are sure the only life in the universe is here. Or that life is only 6000 years old. Or whatever BS they accept. Mankind has come a long way in a short time but thereís still a lot about humans that hasnít changed much. Superstition, tradition, and a lot of instinctual drives still dominate humans.
