Also calls for corporations to divest from China - to use India instead. A deep, dark recession in America will really bring China to it's knees. All those people (usually the "poor in the mind" liberal types who don't understand business) who parrot this idea that China is technologically superior to the U.S. and "owns" it are going to see some how wrong they are. I saw a video clip from China where the "tanks" (Chinese Hummers) were rolling into position for Tiananmen Square II: Electric Boogaloo. Comments under the video pointing out the absurdity that China copied our Hummer vehicle. I was thinking - GM is 50% owned by China... people have no idea. Cad models for the Hummer were very likely just moved to another Chinese site to make their own version. "Technologically superior China" simply signs contracts with companies like Boston Dynamics and then copies the robot dogs and next gen drones... then unleashes them on it's own people. World leaders then gush about how the " China model" is so beautiful. Dream dictatorship, slave labor, compliant people. I can easily imagine after production moves from China to India that China becomes desperate enough to expand their aggressive campaign against India (that the west NEVER TALKS ABOUT). And of course Taiwan is just a biscuit under the gravy. Listening to Bloomberg again this morning. The main talking point is "China needs to force vaccinate" to end the Covid and get production rolling. It's absolutely maddening. This morning it was revealed that Pfizer and Moderna have announced an "emergency" flu vaccine and wait for it... has "the same mNRA technology as the Covid 19 vaccines". IT's easy as A-B-C to see what's next. RECORD FLU DEATHS! VACCINE MANDATES! https://www.newsmax.com/health/health-news/flu-influenza- vaccine/2022/11/28/id/1098195/ Rinse, lather, cut wrists.

watch grandma die through the window it's sort of like the maternity ward where the man gives his guy friends a cigar except this is the trust fund baby in linen pants and jesus sandals cashing out his moms doublewide as she ekes out her last breaths in the flu ward biden talking about gun control after his crackhead son lost a handgun in a dumpster next to a high school the guy should be wearing a yellow and blue vest greeting people at wal*mart instead of considering an octogenarian run for 2nd term the peripheral was a great show but then more and more cast are trannies. the clue is the dudes in size 14 plus pantsuits with anita bryant hairstyles and pencil eyebrows showing off their veneers. is there an equivalent to fonzi jumping a gay shark or is it a gay fonzi jumping a shark or what do we call this?
The shark is in bondage and fonzi is a toddler boy on a skateboard wearing a dress. ABC will sue the producer when outrage surfaces. The head of entertainment will fly to the Bahamas before anyone figures out that he greenlit the project. Biden arrives in a limo to sniff the boy back stage. Huffington post writes a piece on how courageous ABC is and that skateboards are back but with glitter and cancel culture slogans. Did I just jump the shark? LMAO
fonzi toddler boy....pj bottoms and e-bike tiktok of christ
https://bit.ly/3GZRjBP I started a fake account at Twitter so I could see all the Musk drama. I know I shouldn't have... I feel so dirty now. If I was God I'd send another flood. Things have gone sideways. Now that I've said that, my wanders to the fact that the Sumerians also had a flood story (epic tales of Atrahasis and Gilgamesh) many years before the bible (1,000 BCE vs 2,000 BCE). The hero even built an ark...! There was a "book of Enoch" removed from Jewish and Christian bibles that spoke of things going badly when "the visitors/watchers" aka " angels" had sex with earth women which resulted in giants (giants all over the bible). Enoch was the great-grandfather of Noah and we know that the flood was to cleanse the earth of the giants. Then I wonder why Golliath existed. David later as King killed Og king of Bashan and his family of giants! Pft. I promise to switch to decaf. (I'm also wondering if the watchers were also giant because...how did they mate and make giants?) I have a lot of questions for Mr. Owl but I need to pay him with a tootsie pop.
A great flood seems like it would be in every arsenal of scary bedtime stories...especially for bedwetters or desert dwellers Here in Newsomland, scary stories start with a drought

Are Baker and [former Twitter executive] Vijaya Gadde on suicide watch yet?
Vijaya Gadde having left Twitter as chief legal officer (CLO), is still with Mercy Corps. She is also looking at sharing part of the $200M golden parachute for the C Suite Twitter buhbye send off. In January, more circus and cake but instead of Jan6 ice capades it's going to be GOP inquisition high wire acts. Meet the old boss, same as the new boss..or something like that. (I crossed paths with Vijaya a million years ago when she was at Juniper.. ..pretty sure it was in Orlando at GovCon or something)
resp:207 Hire me! I'm a bargain because I'll settle for a measly $100M severance package.
re #208 You and me both! And these packages half the time fly under income taxes radars because they emerge as unliquidated shares or dumped right into 401k, etc.
#207 Right. Instead of taking charge and being responsible, we will get more partisan witch hunts. Brinkmanship. Tit-for-tat. 2023 will be epic miserable with inflation, high interest rates, falling real estate, etc. The last thing we need is more endless partisan witch- hunts. Though I am thorough enjoying the red pills handed out from the Twitter data dumps. People are losing their sh!t which is a beautiful thing. 2020-2022 was purgatory. 2023 will be hell. CBDC & universal basic income schemes will be easy to pull off. Springtime for Karl Marx.
Foodstamps for everybody - at select soup kitchens near you
If by "foodstamps" you mean crickets and by kitchens, you mean the tray of crickets slid through the rectangular hole in your 5x10 domicile, then yes. The camp will serve rations of crickets in proportion to the work measured. The pretty girls and boys will be adopted by the camp man1agement. They will get steak and potatoes. ... My prediction (based on prior events and data): No one will get caught sabotaging food/power stations despite easy access to cell phone pings, security cameras, local ring cameras, etc. BUT: a group of "Pro-2A right-wing anti-trans homophobic Russian-backed insurrectionist Christian white-supremacist antivax conspiracy theorist QAnon MAGA domestic terrorists" will be found PLANNING it and of course, the usual suspects will be embedded in the group. Show-trials to follow. Now to the why... Blackouts can be achieved by foreign actors remotely. So the physical shutdowns are the smoking gun. Blackouts will be accelerated by *some people* to stir up FUD before more intense blackouts, which preceded, "your bank accounts have been emptied by THE RUSSIANS". It's a good think I'm crazy and none of this is real. PS Both my wife and I woke up to stolen debit/credit card notices this morning. For the wife, the notice came via text message. For me, a denied Amazon transaction. "Verify your card." "Sorry, something went wrong." UGH
That sucks about your credit cards. Good thing we can TRUST THE BANK to fix it. <scans wrist barcode>
I have a friend who found out about his mother's passing via a probate court notice via usps this week. His siblings are awesome.
Anyone think that maybe the "hacking" of FTX was not an inside job? "The crypto wallets associated with now-bankrupt trading firm Alameda Research, the sister company of FTX, were seen transferring out funds just days after the former CEO Sam Bankman Fried was released on a $250 million bond." "The ongoing fund movements from Alameda wallets coincided with Bankman Fried s bail because right after FTX filed for bankruptcy on Nov. 11, the exchange wallets were hacked for millions of dollars. The United States Department of Justice is currently investigating the $352 million FTX exploit right after its bankruptcy filing as well." https://www.zerohedge.com/crypto/alameda-wallets-suddenly-become-active- day-after-sbfs-bail-out
If you look at the stocks most promoted by the mainstream media, like Caravan, Peloton, Beyond Meat, Coinbase, Teladoc, Lemonade, Robinhood, Snap, Zoom, DocuSign, Spotify, Tesla, and Netflix - most lost 80+% of their value in less than a year. As the media pumped, the biggest shareholders - the "owners" of these companies dumped. So much easy access to money from Fed printing that people were too greedy to be skeptical. Similar things going on with commercial and single-family home real estate. 2023 is going to be so interesting.
It's amazing there arent' buyers and there arent' sellers - who's lying
We were at the infamous Birch Run mall today on the way back from Frankenmuth. There was an area that was completely empty and roped off. A good 1/4 of the site. Sprinkled throughout away from this area were stores missing. They had most of the premium stores all crammed together. After I dropped the wife off at the "good" section, I drove to around the back where the not-so premium stores were (across from the completely empty set of stores) and saw a 60-70% off sale sign at Haggar For Men. Holy smokes, I practically robbed the place. Between my son and I, we bought 3 suits, 5 dress pants, 6 dress shirts, a belt, 3 ties, a pair of jeans...I know I'm forgetting some things...anyway at Men's Warehouse this would be easily been $2,000. With the 60-70% off the already marked down prices we paid > get this > $275. It felt dirty but I'm supposed to return back to the office soon and I'm SET. Imagine getting a premium sports coat for $20. It will cost more to have it tailored! Beyond that, I chatted up the lady running the store and we discussed, "retail apocalypse". I'm 100% convinced people have absolutely no idea what is about to happen. The lady was super-smart and a real go-getter. If I was a hiring manager, I'd bring her into my group. At any rate, Haggar, like so many other stores is permanently closing in a month and "going online". Ideas like customer service and trying things on are going to be lost concepts soon. Welcome to Amazon Basics.
The problem with online is the cost of transport and the unions that do the work. I can see thsi going sideways for Amazon. Too big to fail or something. DHL almost took over USPS in 2007 and the energy crisis put them out of commission.

Soyjacks and Karens shilling for perpetual war in Ukraine pleases Blackrock and Raytheon. Dye your hair purple and shake your fist at January 6. Pawns. America is being remade into the image of a homeless, drug addicted, Nicaraguan drag queen. What is the endgame of migration replacement? Ever look at the labor participation rate? It keeps shrinking. I wonder why. Once unique as the breakfast tacos people replace the working poor and middle America, who pays for the endless wars and soup kitchens? Who's pension, bank account and 401k will serve as bag holders for the inside traders in Washington?
Dont forget the least brilliant of the planet will willing store refuse toxic waste and criminal expulsions. Chunky enough for a fork but made to eat with a spoon.
