Now I get to see whether or not the $4000 support for gold price is real. It’s gotten itself flattened out. It would be interesting to know who’s actually buying and selling at this rate because that kind of information should tell you if somebody like a central bank or a bunch of them are trying to keep the price floor in place.

I like bravo’s research simply for the kinds of things that they say, and I don’t buy everything they do say, but the information they bring forward is often interesting in its own right. Here they argue that because treasury yields have gone up so much they are comfortable that they are ahead of their payout obligations and so are going out to seek higher return having guaranteed what they are required. Hedge funds are playing casino with treasury

And there it is at least for a while gold is back down to about $4000 an ounce.
I took up the hobby of checking in on gold prices ever since a certain economist made a big deal talking about gold is going to go through the roof and the stock market is going to plunge and the price of oil is going to go through the roof because that’s what happened in the 70s.

One of the most important ways of limiting wealth is to limit the size of corporations. They are too big and they need to be broken up and big chunks of them need to be shut down. Taxes clawback what they get from corporate exploitation
Next, transparency laws so people can’t hide wealth, this is necessary in order to be able to tax them.
Tax wealth more than work. And most of all wealth must be capped. A realistic number is $30 million that’s within an M.

Proposition 40 would go a long way to somewhat offset the hundreds of billions of dollars in federal funding for public services gutted by the current White House. Proposition 42 would revoke that if proposition 40 was past plus make it impossible to ever attack the wealthy.
Remember in California proposition 40 restore some of the money is super rich gutted from us and from every other state. And proposition 42 is just something they wrote to fuck us over.

The desperation of pension funds to find returns should mean we look at the reason for the desperation and reconsider, securing somebody’s retirement by playing the economic casino.
When your government creates money by spending it, and retires money by taxing it, the logic of forcing everyone into a casino falls apart, and we should be asking ourselves how to structure government spend so that everyone has a stable retirement or for those with disability, financially stable life.

Maybe it will be easier if the British government just put a chain-link fence around itself and then claim the rest of the nation is in jail and then everybody can go about their lives, and the British government can satisfy itself that it’s fighting terrorism or something

Which Is why I’ve been spouting on about for some time now, That we had all Better make sure our communities can sustain themselves independent of a global supply chain. The global economy and its infrastructure is unfit to survive This level of global temperature. You could build a bridge, but it won’t be useful for very long.
Walkable communities, restoring the local water basin and integrating into it Is what remains for us to rely on, If we are smart enough to do so

I have a question for people who have experience with online classes at the college level.
Do you actually have any opportunity to interact with your classmates or is everybody simply taking the coursework and not interacting but the other people taking coursework?

Well, the other day I sampled one of those real estate channels, sometimes that I find interesting to just dip into and have a listen, which has always treacherous because you never know they’re just pulling shit out of their butt, but I think meltdown territory at accurately describes where the US market is sliding into right now

I don’t know how ugly things will be before this shit finally ends, but we’ve already seen how many times in history how bad it does get before something changes.
Then we get to see not only him on TV but Elon Musk get a real close look at what these people are

I think any of us are cheered by the resistance and rejection of AI, from data centers to government use of AI to removing digital media from primary education. To even AP English teachers having mobile device free classes.
This is what happens when we turn our backs on big corporations. We take back our lives.

If anyone in the United States was ever confused why Europe has such stringent privacy laws.
those laws were a direct consequence of Nazi persecution as well as East German Stasi. Your basic Orwellian nightmare.

Many years ago, an Germanophile acquaintance introduced me to Werner.
Had all of us watch one of the animated movies. Now I barely remember a few words of German from college education, but all of it was deep southern German accent.
Thing is you really didn’t need to know what was being said because the cartoon was so good conveying exactly what was happening.
