‘House approves Trump’s flagship US-Mexico-Сanada trade deal, day after impeachment vote’, 19 Dec, 2019, RT.com
“The US House of Representatives has given the green light to a trade deal between the US, Canada and Mexico that would replace NAFTA, known as the USMCA, passing the bill on to the Senate for another vote.
The sweeping trade deal was passed in the House on Thursday 385-41 and is set for a Senate vote sometime after the new year. If signed into law, the deal would establish new rules for commerce between the three countries, supplanting the longstanding North American Free Trade Agreement, or NAFTA.

Burn
Submitted by hecate on Fri, 12/20/2019 - 3:02amThe CVS is closing. January 2; last day. It didn’t burn. But first it had to wait for the town to reopen. Then there was the water problem. Too, it was yellowtagged; though the building itself didn’t burn, the fire burnt trees out back black, and these had to be cleared, before the doors could open. The CVS people did that. Put in all new landscaping.
But corporate, it had set quotas. And the town, reduced from 25,000 people, to something like 2000, these quotas: the Paradise CVS, could not meet. And so, now. It is over.
