I did this 5 years ago. SO MANY people laughed at me when I told them this... Catch up people. It's not too late to be ready for all the "emergencies" that are incoming.

BREAKING: The Pentagon has launched “FORTRESS America,” an initiative ordering major military bases in the continental US to be able to run on their own for at least 90 days. Bases will need to keep power, water, fuel and communications running independently, without relying on outside supply.

To justify today’s data center buildout, AI would need to bring in about $3.5 trillion a year by 2032, per a new Brookings paper. That’s 8.8% of U.S. GDP, nearly as much as Americans spend on food (9.1%), and far more than on energy (5.1%).

Wages are falling. Consumer goods are falling. But it's hard to see, because the dollar is falling. And we use the dollar to measure wages and prices. So it appears that everything is going up. And people only care if wages or prices go up faster.
The "golden age." Median household income hit a record $87,460 last year. (Census) Priced in gold, that's about 25 ounces. In 2000 the median household earned about 150. A record in dollars mostly tells you what happened to the dollar xitter.cf/TrumpDailyPosts/status…

An unsourced claim in Al Araby slams oil because (checks notes) Iran is going to agree to a Trump-friendly deal two weeks before the midterms. Did I miss anything?

1. Kids set up a new company that becomes the marketing agency for the family business. 2. The marketing agency collects a fee that dramatically reduces the profit in the parents company. 3. The marketing agency acquires a minority stake with savage voting rights. 4. Independent valuation shows that this structure makes the business almost worthless. 5. The marketing company acquires the remaining shares. Success in the UK is now 50% being excellent at what you do and 50% avoiding the governments latest scheme to derail the success and independence of your family.

Blah, blah blah. What most voters not getting is that this administration is just waiting for midterms to be over to then start this war all over again. Then, watch oil prices!

Once again, today's reality "trumps" parody. In case you were wondering, this isn't satire or AI. They're really saying the quiet part out loud now.

Good to know that you can commit mortgage fraud and NOT be arrested or forced to resign if you work for the Fed (laws are for little people)

When looking at just oil (not all petroleum products), the US imports more than it exports. How, then, is the US currently exporting 2 million more barrels per day than normal? Simple: it's eating into its reserves and stockpiles. Indeed, US oil inventories just hit a 22-year low. We will soon reach critical operational thresholds. Full report: peakprosperity.pulse.ly/vmtc…
