Debt Rattle October 17 2020

Ilargi: Been thinking this the last week or so; Your posts are the first thing I read each day. I value your perspective. I’ve always valued Nicole’s viewpoint, too. But for a while now, it seems that Nicole’s facebook posts concerning Trump are hyper-critical and I’m trying to grok what’s going on here. I appreciate your effort to explain this. Thanks.

Hunter’s lawyer calls the repair shop and demands the laptop back, thereby confirming the laptop belongs to Hunter. Smiling face with open mouth and smiling eyes.

photos of the Delaware federal subpoena detailing the request for the laptop’s seizure.
HOW COME the subpoena, signed by clerk of the court, for Lesley F. Wolf, December 09 2019, has the serial # s of the laptop and external hard drive if they did not inspect those items before and hid the info that was on it.

Problem:
Airline around the world a begging, threatening, to be given billions of dollars.
Tell the your gov. not to give them money.
Passengers traffic will not increase enough to save the travel industry.
Solution:
Give $2,000 travel vouchers to pensioners reporting less than $20,000 on their income tax.

Counting long covid in children

https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families/long-covid-symptoms-hospitalised-long-haulers-three-months-study-b693848.html

On 7 September, a study reported up to 60,000 people in the UK have been suffering from long-Covid for more than three months.
Parents reported that their children experienced fatigue, general gastrointestinal issues, sore throats, headaches, and muscle pain or weakness. Other symptoms included fevers, nausea, mood changes, rashes, dizziness, breathing difficulties and cognitive blunting.

Notice the difference – when examining the records and translating their meaning – of Amy Coney Barrett and her future potential impact on the Supreme Court vs Kamala Harris and her potential impact on the country as VP or President. How nasty we are depends upon which side you’re on. Both women are accomplished and both have potential for the future.

Unlike Pelosi, both women are of a younger generation. They will move forward in a different way – and make an impact that will be felt to our core. Let’s let them lead.

The days of Pelosi, Feinstein, and Hillary (to name a few) are coming to a close. Just like RBG who could not let go to insure an Obama nominated replacement, these women do more damage to their accomplishments by hanging on. Why not go gracefully into the night?

Many women are natural collaborators, coordinators, cooperators. Their efforts to facilitate change on a local level, from the ground-up, are the most common – and potent. This article from The Intercept is a beautiful demonstration of women in positive action. (Even the pictures are powerful).

“Khaddit Beirut’s vision sets it in direct opposition to the dynamics of partisanship, dependency, and corruption that have defined Lebanese politics for the last 30 years. Geha and her colleagues posit a “big picture” that would overwrite the current, sectarian system — an alternative that poses both danger and hope. “We won’t get through this without the entire community working together — our fates are intertwined,” said Geha. “This makes the government nervous.” The more civil society rises to the task, the riskier the work becomes. “It’s one thing to say we hate our politicians — and it’s another thing to show that we have the abilities within our community to solve these problems without them,” she added. “That’s when they really start pushing back.”

If women had been in the majority in politics over time, would the outcome(s) to crisis have been different? When/where has this ever been the case – women completely dominating politics of a country? I am not confident that the next gen women leaders like Amy Barrett and Kamala Harris can transform the system – as top down solutions are only one half of the answer. If we work it from both ends we might have a chance.

Keep dreamin’ SusieMarie . It may happen someday but not with Kamala or even AOC for that matter. Just my opinion though.

“AOC thinks at a far too young age that she knows it all. ”

Or she’s just lying

Funny how consistently it seems to be the case that one’s investment in being on the anti-Trump train seems to correspond rather neatly with one’s attachment to the interests of the professional-managerial class. I don’t like Trump at all, but I was never part of the “Orange Man Bad” crowd because right around the time Trump’s star was rising in 2015, I was starting to realize how sick I was of the PMC and all their self-serving BS.

> Did the pilots just follow orders from Kiev? The Dreamliner aircraft has a facility for the CIA to take control in case of hijack so did they fly it there?

MH17 was not a Dreamliner: it was a 777 (as was the unfortunate MH370, for that matter). A Dreamliner is a 787. Odd, how curiously unlucky that particular airline has been..

Indeed; as with the rest of The Squad™. Dems hoping to rope in a few more rubes, with a Fresh New Look..

It’s not workin’

@a kullervo: Fred Reed of “Fred On Everything” infamy iss of the opinion that men have a greater intellectual range while women have a greater emotional range. That means, according to his theory, that the smartest men tend to be smarter than the smartest women, and also the dumbest men tend to be dumber than the dumbest women. By emotional range, he means that woman can be a lot more caring and compassionate than men but are also a hell of a lot meaner than men when roused to long-term anger. YMMV

@ a-kullervo,
I am a man and for most of my life a very dominant man. Men usually can always dominate women physically and this may have been the history of our existence but acting on this is simply wrong. All souls need to be respected and relationships need to be negotiated so all are satisfied and embrace a path forward otherwise there it is not a pleasant existence. Sure history is slavery and maybe that’s where we are heading again but there is so much more possible with mutual consent. This in my opinion the correct way to think of this issue. Certainly barbarism will eventually arrive again but it is not a positive way forward.

@ V. Arnold
Are you hearing anything that we don’t hear?

I’ve been here through 2 coups, red shirt/yellow shirt demonstrations and violence, and various less serious student demonstrations.
Plus, one must look at Thailands long history of uphevals. There have been 18(?) coups since the 1932 constitution declaring Thailand a constitutional monarchy.
To put some context to the present and recent past; most of this happens in Bangkok. Without the news, most of us living outside of BKK would have no idea what, if anything is going on.
Situation normal; all fouled up…SNAFU
😉
I would add that the open (public) challenge to the monarchy is a disturbing, new twist, and may portend future trouble. Neither my wife or myself have seen this before…
We’ll see…
