we live in age of great moral panics about things that don’t matter and zero moral outrage over some of the most egregious societal sins we’ve ever seen

As if soccer wasn’t already lame enough in this country, our national team went out and lost a home friendly to Germany on D-Day wearing rainbow number jerseys. :/

It's time to recognize that prices have essentially doubled since 2019, regardless of what the CPI says. Construct an index based on actual prices without myriad adjustments and this is what it shows. Now think about your income with a 50% loss of purchasing power.

There’s literally nothing weird about Thomas Matthew Crooks emailing a deputy from Butler, PA before the assassination attempt. It’s not weird that he practiced shooting at the same range Homeland Security used. It’s not weird that the local police and Secret Service spotted Crooks with a rangefinder, photographed him, and texted about him for over an hour and still let him climb the roof with a rifle. It’s not weird that the Secret Service wasn’t flying drones that day, but Crooks was. It’s not weird that Butler was the first Trump rally of the year with Secret Service anti-sniper agents on the roofs. It’s not weird that Crooks’ house looked like a sterile lab with no trash or silverware. And it’s not weird that his body was cremated ten days later before Congress could see it. This is like when people say the CIA was shadowing Oswald before he, and he alone, shot JFK.

This is Todd “Let’s Roll” Beamer, who died heroically while trying to retake United Flight 93 from Al Qaeda terrorists on 9/11. His final resting place, is in Cranbury, NJ — where he was living with his wife and children before his murder. Cranbury is located in NJ-12, where the new Democratic nominee for Congress is Adam Hamawy.

Hamawy was a close associate and translator to Omar Abdel-Rahman, aka the ‘Blind Sheikh,’ an arch terrorist convicted of masterminding multiple plots against targets in NYC — including the World Trade Center. Hamawy testified at Adbel-Rahman’s trial, as a defense witness.

It has also been reported that Hamawy traveled to Bosnia to volunteer at an organization that was later unmasked as an Al Qaeda front group.

One of Hamawy’s loudest and most high-profile supporters and endorsers has openly declared that America deserved the 9/11 attacks.

Hamawy is now the prohibitive frontrunner to represent Todd Beamer’s district in the United States Congress.

Your entire relationship with money changes when you start working around people who make far more than you without breaking a sweat.

[Thrilla the Gorilla @ThrillaRilla369]

The middle class is the most expensive place to live, and no one talks about it. Lower income households get assistance. The wealthy use tax strategies and loopholes. But the middle class pays full taxes, full tuition, full healthcare, full everything. So you work 50 hours a week just to stay in the same place and fund everyone’s life except yours.

It just dawned on me what they are actually proposing.

They aren’t going to release the sanctioned Iranian funds, they are going to get the US and GCC to put money into an “international reconstruction investment fund” so they can dole contracts out to Kushner and his cronies.

LOL holy crap this administration is so corrupt it’s actually stunning at times.

The Fed expanded the money supply by nearly $9 trillion under Powell.

Inflation has averaged >4% per year over the past 6 years.

Powell's explanation? It was nearly all due to rolling “supply shocks" over which the Fed has no control.

The truth: this inflation was made in Washington as it always is - from too much government borrowing/spending and too much government creation of money.

New census data shows that a majority of Americans are set to become non-White by 2050.

In 1980, White Americans made up about 80% of the US population; projections suggest that share will fall to roughly 47% by 2050 and 44% by 2060. The demographic transformation has been driven by mass immigration, both legal and illegal, as well as falling White birthrates.

Charlie Munger, the Stoic: "Life will have terrible blows in it. Horrible blows. Unfair blows. It doesn't matter. And some people recover and others don't."

"There, I think the attitude of Epictetus is the best. He thought that every mischance in life was an opportunity to behave well. Every mischance in life was an opportunity to learn something. Your duty was not to be submerged in self-pity, but to utilize the terrible blow in a constructive fashion."

Netflix has operated the largest production studio in the last 15 years (Grok estimates over $135B in expenditure)
and there is basically no cultural legacy with any of the output.

No enduring brands, no iconic films, all the content will just be forgotten in the ether.

There is a lot of lighting on nuclear icebreakers, because they simply have nowhere to put their energy.
Itis necessary to maintain a certain level of load on the reactor ⚛️
As a result, nuclear icebreakers become real lighthouses in the world of endless night
