1/ What are our billionaires doing to protect themselves from the coming apocalypse.....and keep you and I,
What’s your plan for the apocalypse? I’ll tell you what mine is: death. I am not really built for battle – I need five cups of coffee just to function and I have terrible allergies. My body can’t even handle pollen, it’s not going to do well with nuclear war. Plus, even if I was hardier – who wants to live a few extra months in a completely destroyed world?
It started in the eighties with trickle-down economics. If we just lowered taxes on the rich, the poor would get the benefit. We know how that worked out, rampant income inequality. The rich got richer and the poor got poorer. And then the poor were blamed for their lack of capital, they were told to pull themselves up by their bootstraps. Even supposed Democrat Bill Clinton put a dent in welfare, because as we all know, the takers are what’s wrong with society.
And then came the dotcom era. You could deliver a popsicle for free. Stocks only went up. Made no sense, and of course it was untrue, and the market crashed and many lost their life savings.
Last week, the Alabama Supreme Court ruled that embryos frozen in in vitro fertilization procedures are “children” under state law, and that a person responsible for their destruction can be held liable. The opinion is a staggering attack on every facet of reproductive health, including the freedom of people experiencing infertility who use assisted reproductive technologies. It represents the culmination of a movement to enshrine into law the unscientific and purely religious claim that life begins when a sperm fertilizes an egg, supplanting secular laws with supposedly “biblical” beliefs. https://www.msnbc.com/
The two biggest stories in America today are AI and the Sphere, and neither were in the public consciousness a year ago.
Oh that’s not right Bob, what about Taylor Swift, and Gaza?
Well, the Israeli/Arab conflict is always simmering, it’s always in the news. As for Taylor Swift…
This is not a new story. Successful musical artist goes on the road to massive sell-out audiences playing their hits. In this case, a retrospective of their entire career.
Don’t get me wrong, Taylor Swift is an original. But her tour looked backward. Yes, the massive outpouring of love from female fans was noticeable, but it was not DISRUPTIVE! The media was just reporting a story it saw, there was no harbinger of where we’re going. Because the media never knows, but Washington, D.C. and most industries are just as bad.

At least four members of the most corrupt Supreme Court in American history have decided to help Trump delay his trial for trying to overthrow the government of the United States.
Just like in 2000, when five Republicans on the Court ignored Al Gore’s probable (later found to be definite) win in Florida to put Bush in the White House, today’s Court is doing as much as they can to help Trump win this November.
In a hail-Mary attempt to push his trials beyond the election, hoping he’d win with Putin’s help and could then pardon himself and gut the DOJ, Trump’s attorneys filed a claim that his efforts to overturn the 2020 election were “official acts” and that all presidents have “absolute immunity” while in office and for the rest of their lives thereafter.
Those savings kicked in last year as part of the Inflation Reduction Act, a law that aims to cut the pollution that is rapidly heating the planet by investing in clean energy across the U.S. economy. The law tackles two major sources of emissions, transportation and buildings, by making it cheaper for Americans to replace fossil-fuel burning cars and appliances, like furnaces and boilers, with cleaner versions, and to make their homes more energy efficient.

War is on the rise everywhere. When the International Institute for Strategic Studies in London published its authoritative Armed Conflict Survey in early December, it counted 183 conflicts globally in 2023 — higher than had been recorded in 30 years. The most remarkable episode of this harrowing new era of global violence is an astounding spate of military takeovers in what has come to be known as the coup belt, stretching uninterrupted across Africa’s Sahel from the Atlantic Ocean to the Red Sea: six countries enduring 11 coup attempts, eight of them successful, since just 2020

MOSSE A JEWISH TRUCK DRIVER HATED SEEING DOOR-TO-DOOR RELIGIOUS ZEALOTS WALKING DOWN THE ROAD
One day as he was doing his deliveries, he saw an old Rabbi standing by his broken down car on the side of the road.
As they were driving, the driver saw two more zealots on the side of the road.
"I'm so sorry, Rabbi, I didn't mean to do that, I wish you hadn't seen that, Rabbi, I..."
The Rabbi speaks up "It's okay, it's okay my son. I got them with the door."
