The essay is not easy to write and likely won't be easy to understand if one is averse to facts. Ever since Sir Isaac got beaned by a golden delicious, the world became aware of Gravity. Gravity seems to be acting on everything and everyone on earth--except one Jeffrey Epstein, now allegedly deceased. Perhaps Mr. Epstein learned to overcome the laws of physics by consulting Stephen Hawking. For it seems to be almost a physical impossibility for Mr. E.
You would have thought all of the body armor and helmets would shield the snowflakes from a woman spitting in their general direction, but no. Their feelings got hurt, real bad. https://t.co/mtqwPiuHi1
There are several approaches to address our ecological disaster, but the rub is in the adoption of these practices. This week we'll look at ways in which we can green the planet and absorb more carbon. I don't know how we get TPTB (the powers that be) to stop and limit emissions and extraction. Perhaps the Climate Strike on September 20 will have some impact here? I continue to use gas...in my tractor, car, weed eater and chain saw...but I'm trying to minimize...biking into town, walking when possible, buying less and growing more. However, there are large scale ecosystem level ways to restore environments. Many are counter intuitive. Others more obvious.
Unicorn: a term used in the venture capital industry to describe a startup company with a value of over $1 billion.
WeWork is the latest tech startup to file for IPO, and even the financial media couldn't take it seriously.
Chutzpah can only be something very good or very bad. In this case, I think it's pretty, pretty good that DC and MSM gets shocked (Comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable) when Bernie speaks truth to power on the issue of the billions of dollars of U.S. military aid to Israel:
Evening all. I hope this evening finds you shining bright with the light of the moon.
What is a negative interest rate bond?
It is by definition a default.
Just because it is an agreed upon default doesn't change that fact.
And that's at nominal rates. If there is any price inflation at all (and there is), that just adds to the losses.
President Trump appears to be on the verge of actually doing something good with his presidency, and ending the endless quagmire that is our occupation of Afghanistan.
Saudi Arabia has been bombing civilians in Yemen (and covering it up) for four years. Yet they haven't come anywhere close to taking back the capital of Sanaa.
The Saudi's most notable victory was defeating the Houthi assault on the old capital city of former state of South Yemen - Aden.
I’ll only focus on the Pepe’s Hong Kong portion, as I’ll bring other viewpoints as well. A recent reader asked me to say that my (limited thoughts and content) are in violet, hyperlinks turn blue at c99%; all else is in black. This is longish, but given the current anti-China realpolitik afoot, this is a very big deal in my estimation. Feel free to weigh in, even with contrasting sources and opinions. Dagnabbit, I’d forgotten to see if Joe Biden’s blaming the protests on the Russians on Twitter.

According to the Fed’s recession probability model, the odds of a recession in the next 12 months are the same now as they were in July 2007. That was when the credit markets first seized up, leading to the 2008 Great Recession five months later.
Senator Sanders has dared to say that the media, the Washington Post in particular, isn't completely fair and unbiased in their coverage of him.
Where Bernie could have dreamed up this wild konspiracy theory no one knows.
So the media was forced to defend itself from this baseless smear.
