“Drama is anything you can get away with.” —Revolution for the Hell of It, by Abbie Hoffman. In Chicago, the dramatis personae include a wizened, erratic and irascible judge who admits that “I am not an altogether modest fellow.” The prosecutor is an ambitious young U.S. attorney held over from the Democratic Administration to try eight of the nation’s leading radicals on an anticonspiracy law that may very well be ultimately found unconstitutional.

A car is a major purchase, and most Americans don’t have the cash on hand to buy one outright. That’s why so many people use an auto loan. In fact, according to Experian’s State of the Automotive Finance Market report, buyers used auto loans for almost 80% of new vehicle purchases and just over 40% of used vehicle purchases in Q1 2023. When you apply for a car loan, the lender will run a credit check to determine whether or not to approve the loan.

Thankfully, I was able to get a Genius Bar appointment at the Apple Store that same afternoon and got the screen replaced for the hefty price of $150.

In the wake of wildfires that ripped through Maui last week, many are seeking answers about what caused the deadliest wildfire in the U.S. in over a century. That search has put Hawaiian Electric, which serves 95% of the island state’s 1.4 million residents, in the spotlight.
