Less than routine maintenance

Hello #Canada, #Mexico, #EU, and other trading partners. Please excuse the United States of America. Things are temporarily shut down while we carry on with less than routine maintenance. There is a phrase in science, that "Science progresses one funeral at a time." Sometimes the same is true in the larger society. We are now left waiting for people that think that it is currently the 1950s, to clear the system. We appreciate your patience.
