First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight at you, then they add you to their Long-Term Capital Markets Assumptions paper and predict you'll be the best-performing asset of the next decade.

Il est 20h. Les enfants sont couchés.

Vous êtes tranquillement devant la télé avec votre femme.

Soudain, des cris éclatent dans la rue. Des coups, des vitres qui explosent. Des dizaines d’émeutiers vêtus de noir s’en prennent à votre immeuble. Ils tentent de forcer la porte, saccagent le hall, arrachent les boîtes aux lettres.

Vos enfants se réveillent en hurlant. Votre femme panique.

Vous appelez la police.

« Tous nos agents sont occupés, veuillez patienter. »

Puis la communication coupe.

Vous jetez un œil par la fenêtre. En bas, ils viennent de mettre le feu aux poubelles. Les flammes lèchent déjà la façade. La fumée commence à entrer dans l’appartement.

Soudain, un grand fracas.

La porte de l’immeuble vient de céder.

Des hurlements montent dans l’escalier.

« On va vous tuer ! Ouvrez cette putain de porte ! »

Ils sont sur votre palier.
Vous n’osez même pas regarder par l’œil de bœuf.
Que faire ?

Sortir ? Fuir ? Impossible. Ils sont dans l’escalier.

Sauter par la fenêtre ? Vous êtes au quatrième étage.

Se défendre ? Avec quoi ?

Vous n’avez jamais pensé avoir besoin de vous défendre chez vous. Vous avez toujours fait confiance à l’État. Les armes, ce n’est pas votre truc.

Vous avez travaillé toute votre vie, payé vos impôts, respecté les lois.

Et maintenant, vous voilà coincé dans votre propre appartement, avec vos enfants en pleurs et votre femme qui vous demande ce qu’on va faire.

Derrière la porte, les pas se rapprochent.

Cette fois, ce n’est pas une vidéo d’émeutes que vous regardez à la télévision. C’est chez vous que ça se passe.

Et personne ne viendra vous protéger.

@MaryBowdenMD There was a dark side to Fauci, a side that few saw.

[Jeffrey A Tucker @jeffreytucker]

Spoke to a boy of 12. His first grade was essentially cancelled and replaced by Zoom, even gym classes. His second grade was marked entirely by compliance: forced masking, distancing, plexiglass, making all language lessons useless. His third grade was routinely interrupted by class quarantines and disease paranoia. By then, nearly everyone was academically behind, trust in authority shattered, and organic social networks only starting to form in halting ways as parent groups were wrecked by woke and trans political arguments.

This is the childhood he experienced, along with millions of others, an entire generation.

Smart parents have figured it out: they have to secede from the system to save their kids. Even if they use the schools, they no longer trust and do most real education on nights and weekends.

@jopawo Hard from the pic to tell if there’s much difference between Day 21 and Day 19 (the last one I saw). What’s your gut at this point? Feeling more hopeful that this is working?

Rooting for you!

KYC is criminal

Continual endangerment of innocent people who have done nothing wrong.

Cameras on every corner. Federal agencies querying your data without ever seeing a judge. Different tools, same problem.

My Fourth Amendment Restoration and Protection Act would stop the government from using FISA to spy on Americans.

[Erik Voorhees @ErikVoorhees]

Fourth Amendment protects Americans against "unreasonable searches and seizures" from the State.

Surely, "reasonable" would require at least the suspicion of a crime. The bar ought to be higher than that, but one cannot argue with a straight face that it ought to be lower.

Thus, suspicion of crime is prereq to any "reasonable search"

KYC and financial surveillance generally are imposed on the citizenry without any suspicion of crime.

Easily unconstitutional, and thus illegal, and those committing such crime in violation of the Constitution ought to be tried for it.

@SocalMatthew80 @PeterSweden7 @grok @grok What exactly is meant by “political

@ZohranKMamdani Be more precise in your language rather than play to your reality-distorting followers. “3,000 New Yorkers were murdered on 9/11.”

Steak ’n Shake is becoming the first major fast food chain to make its buns seed oil free.

Starting October 5, its buns will be “unapologetically drenched in pure Grade AA Wisconsin butter.”

After eliminating seed oils from its fries, the chain is pushing even further toward Real Ingredients.

The market is speaking.

Americans want healthier, seed oil free options.

Now it’s time for the rest of fast food to catch up.

Why am I paying taxes on my paycheck… then sales tax just to spend that money… then income tax on money that’s already been taxed… then property tax on land I bought with taxed money after paying sales tax on it… then vehicle tax just to drive to work… gas tax to fill the tank… energy tax to keep the lights on… death tax when I die… and God help me if I try to save any cash, because they’ll just inflate that away too.

To all the Supermarkets and big commercial stores that operate 'Self Check-outs'....

You are heading towards almost exclusively self-checkout now. Yesterday I went shopping at one such store and the lady checking receipts at the exit was stopping everyone.

I didn't choose to participate in that nonsense, I had already filled my trolly, emptied my trolly and scanned the items, refilled my trolly, and so I just skipped the exit line and left.

I heard her saying "Umm - Excuse me “ as I kept walking and raised the receipt above my head, leaving the store.

You can either trust me to do self-checkout, or you can put your cashiers back in place like it used to be.

• I'm not interested in proving that I did your job for you.

• If you want me to be a cashier with no training then that's your problem not mine.

• Keep employing young people and give them job opportunities.

YOU DON'T PAY ME TO SCAN MY OWN SHOPPING.
YOU DON’T GIVE ME STAFF DISCOUNT FOR WORKING FOR YOU.

Signed…
All of us

Profits be for people…
