People have been protesting. Some have taken to the streets. It’s all over the news, pretty much everywhere.

Are you able to add insulated window shades or drapes to the windows? That can help curb some drafts/block the cold from getting in, as well as stall heat from getting out.
If you can’t add more permanent curtain rods or hardware to the frames or walls, try finding “twist and shout” frame mounted hardware or tension rods for within the window frame to span across it.
Or, use non-marring ones, sometimes called over-the-frame style rods, which rely on wooden window framing to hold them up, using clips that slip behind the horizontal tops of or around the corners of the frame where the mitre edge is.

Isn’t doing too badly em. But if they lose access to Lake Mead water, or Lake Mead water levels go even lower, that’s like 80-90% of their water supply.
They should be charging far more for water, and using far less.

They will eat Turkey polts and smaller chicks. Yes. Grown ones/adults? No. They’d be more likely to stamp or kick them to death. But a cow or deer will attack/bite and kill a young kitten, or puppy. Eat them, afterwards? No, probably not.
I have seen them eat carrion, things like dead rabbits, crows, and squirrels. They’re opportunistic feeders for those things. They don’t hunt them to eat them like predators will—but will enthusiastically eat another animal’s leftovers.

Insulate, regulate, repair/upgrade, transition.
We blew in new insulation in the attic, which helped with both cooling and heating bills. Replaced 4 windows (of 13), along the back of the house where the sun is worse in the Summer but the wind is pretty bad in Winter. House is now easier and cheaper to cool and heat.
Next step: more windows, in phases. And then more insulation wherever we can add it. Possibly, within 5-6 years, a new roof.
For the future: solar panels/battery storage. Columnar wind turbine.
The point being, you plan for the future right now. You invest what you can now, up front, to make things more efficient or affordable, later. You reap whatever benefits you can fet out of your efforts, now.

It needs 1M in improvements, to keep the doors open? That’s easily fixed: Sell some gold or icons or land or shopping malls or first editions or diamonds or whatever the church leadership invests in, hoards, or profits from. Earthly treasures aren’t equal to heavenly ones; they don’t need to be stored up and archived or saved or savored because that never ensures that living, breathing human beings are given the succor, care or assistance they truly need.
The church is the people, not the money, trappings, treasures, gold chasubles, red hats, silver crosses, or extravagant buildings. “Wherever three or more are gathered in His name, He is there”.
Somebody in charge literally needs a Jesus moment of their own, to figure out their true calling and motivation in life.

Reply to From Florida to Pittsburgh : Is $100,000 home budget in Pittsburgh on disability income feasible? by [deleted]
There are 2 bedroom 1 bath condos with $200 and up HOA fees, in areas served by buses and the T in the South Hills area. If you have a shared car between you, that would be more helpful. The areas I’m talking about are safe, family neighborhoods. Decent schools, nice parks. Somewhat walkable. But definitely suburban and not city living.

Doesn’t stop knife shops from saying auto knives (aka switchblades) for sale or switchblades/auto knives for sale.
People will use the term they knew or grew up with, the term they used themselves for the knives they own/owned, or whatever term sells the most knives.

Reply to comment by arrouk in More than half of all young children statewide ages 0-5 are enrolled in the Imagination Library of Ohio program, per the governor's office. That's more than 360,000 Ohio children in total, each receiving "The Little Engine That Could" and other popular books in the mail for free every month. by Sariel007
Why is a private citizen doing the work of the public schools and of county and state orgs to increase reading among children, in the states? Why are elementary ed libraries and reading programs lacking staffing or funding? That’s a choice.
Dolly Parton’s private philanthropy is wonderful—but why aren’t leaders and educators using taxpayer funding for this, vs paying millions for high football stadiums and locker rooms or for school police forces/guns for troopers drives, vs educational/classroom and teacher funding?
Everything is a choice and everything is political, when it comes to taxes, budgets/funding and education.
