When I try to post this to my Facebook page, it still comes up with the previous title- which I prefer not to use.

Yeah. I apologize. My attempt at a counterintuitive headline (what? Something good about the halfwit in the white house?) was misguided, and I have the same problem when sharing the link. So instead try sharing my latest FB post about the link: https://open.substack.com/pub/richardconniff/p/one-good-thing-about-donald-trump?r=1fcr4&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false. If that doesn't work, you may need to download the photo of Kelsey and re-post it. But it makes the old headline disappear.

Well done. There are similar stories elsewhere, especially related to the environment.

Post links to other such stories, John, with a one sentence intro. I'm sure people want to hear them. The other one I may tell is about the USDA researcher who got mocked for spending $240,000 to study screwworm sex. It led to a technique that saved cattle ranchers billions, and that is now being used to control disease-bearing mosquitoes everywhere.

https://billmoyers.com/story/11-ways-epa-helped-americans/ This is a link to an older story by Bill Moyers that summarizes some of EPA’s significant accomplishments. I would mention in particular the banning of DDT and removing lead from gasoline.
