You'll be pleased to know that Karla Lant is now an Adjunct Professor at Northern Arizona University, a prestigious institution of higher learning that only has a 91% acceptance rate.

As a freelancer she continues to write for β€œmedical, scientific, and technical verticals”.

Makes me wonder about her medical recommendations. Horse dewormer, anyone?

@gruber Something to watch: according to a TIME article, for tariffs finalized 80-180 days ago importers can file a protest, & legal advisors recommend filing within a 180-day window from the liquidation date close or you might lose the right.
