Billboard magazine asked Kiiara what she was thinking of when she wrote the song. "The overall message is you don't have to answer to anyone," she replied. "That's how I was raised. If someone asks you for something, you don't owe them anything. You don't have to answer. I wanted to somehow incorporate that into the song."

Appeal...*

Major U.S. and foreign automakers have appealed to President Donald Trump to review the rules requiring them to nearly double fleet-wide fuel efficiency by 2025, saying they impose significant costs and are out of step with consumer preferences.

As part of a 2012 regulation, EPA had to decide by April 2018 whether to modify the 2022-2025 model year vehicle emission rules requiring average fleet-wide efficiency of more than 50 miles per gallon.

Automakers hope to work with regulators and California, auto representative, "to see whether we can find a prudent compromise path forward that avoids an unnecessary and counterproductive regulatory collision."

Trump will reduce the EPA regulation, but the auto industry with its electric and hybrids cars will exceed the removed requirement by a great distance. Just a thought.

DELILAH...*



Jones narrates the song as a betrayed lover who spies his woman in silhouette on a window blind as she makes love to another man. Although he realizes that she is no good for him, he becomes temporarily insane.

Waiting until her paramour leaves, at the break of day, he knocks on the door, which she opens, only to laugh in his face. He stabs her to death. Realizing this murderous act, the betrayed lover begs her forgiveness before the police come to break down the door and take him away.

The state of Nevada is the only jurisdiction in US where prostitution is permitted. Strictly regulated brothels operate legally in isolated rural areas, away from the majority of Nevada's population
License fees range from an annual $100,000 in Storey County to an annual $200,000 in Lander County. Licensed prostitutes must be at least 21 years old, except in Storey County and Lyon County (where the minimum age is 18).
Nevada law requires that registered brothel prostitutes be tested weekly for gonorrhea and Chlamydia trachomatis, and monthly for HIV and syphilis;[23] furthermore, condoms are mandatory for all oral sex and sexual intercourse. Brothel owners may be held liable if customers become infected with HIV after a prostitute has tested positive for the virus.[24] Women work a legally mandated minimum of nine days for each work period.[25]



Despite there being a legal option, the vast majority of prostitution in Nevada takes place illegally in Reno and Las Vegas. About 66 times more money is spent by customers on illegal prostitution in Nevada than in the regulated brothels.

Coming soon right after Marijuana.

Yet constant barking at imaginary bad guys, or for imaginary bad things may be an issue that went too far.
