How Do You Say, “Feed Me, Seymour” in Chinese? Xī mó wèi wǒ?? 西摩喂我??

At least 187 Texans received mystery seeds mailed from China. State officials warn they shouldn’t be planted.

The Texas Tribune–While the seeds are still being tested in labs and undergoing investigation, Miller said there is a “pretty good possibility” that they are a part of a brushing scam, when a vendor attempts to bolster product ratings by shipping products unprompted and then writing a review using that person’s name. The lab should have results in seven to 10 days, Miller said.

In an interview with The Texas Tribune, Miller attempted to tie the seeds to the coronavirus pandemic.

“I’m getting sick and tired of these surprises coming out of China. First, it was a China virus, then it was murder hornets. Then we had closed down their embassy because of espionage and spying,” Miller said. “And now we, you know, we’ve got all these mysterious seeds.”

Is There Really A Coin Shortage?  Or Just Too Much Cheap Advice…

Forbes–If you’ve headed to a store recently, you may have noticed signs requesting exact change. Some stores are claiming there’s a coin shortage because U.S. Mint closures have affected the coin supply right now and they don’t have enough change on hand for customers.

But does this mean that the U.S. is actually running out of coins?

On June 11, the Federal Reserve acknowledged that the COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the “normal circulation patterns for U.S. coin.”

“In the past few months, coin deposits from depository institutions to the Federal Reserve have declined significantly and the U.S. Mint’s production of coin also decreased due to measures put in place to protect its employees,” the Fed wrote in a statement. “The Federal Reserve is working on several fronts to mitigate the effects of low coin inventories.”
