Not two hours ago, I was chatting with someone about the news conference talking about nuclear power, coal ("can’t be destroyed!”) for AI, and said it was for TIA.

Maybe. Maybe not.

A lot of men in my neighborhood seem to have died while being in proximity to a “cleaning lady.”

Excellent, thank you! That there is a full transcript is a plus, I’ll read it later in bed.

I do indeed mean a federal reserve cryptocurrency. Banks already have been adopting it and I assume we will see more of it in the next administration. I see it akin to the electronic version of the policing tactic known as kettling. This won’t do anything in the long run, other than buy time for the Scrooge McDucks to escape and target other currencies. And I suspect they have plans for BRICS. To what extent those plans may succeed will depend on the foresight of BRICS, I would imagine.

It’s difficult for me to speak in specifics, never having had resources sufficient enough to plan for centuries, before. The people of whom I speak do have those kinds of resources, and their dynasties have had them for centuries, passing those strategies down for generations. I would imagine there are contingency plans for contingency plans, but I’m having difficulty imagining what that looks like.

I think the USA is pushing for cashless society partly because both parties see the USD losing hegemony, and it is more surveillable, and a bit of insulation to the power structure. The structure will collapse, of course, but all the billionaires will safely be on their private islands, by then, leaving the masses to sort/fight it out amongst themselves.

This reminds me of s scene from ^Fridays

That was depressing.

Thank you for the summary.

I was wondering if the next admin will double down.

Would you prefer the term malignant psychopath? Or sociopath? Same general outcome in meaning, just more clinical

Yes.

That is a man.

Men Humans are capable of things considered god like and demonic, but that is a man. Dehumanization of Palestinians is how the genocide began and how it is perpetuated.

Truth.

the final threshings of a dying state

I’ve been saying that about patriarchal religions for 30 years and they’re still going. I think at the time I began saying that, I was conflating religion with governments, which kind of makes sense, as religion is used to uphold and justify horrific acts perpetrated by (nation) states.
