Are drones covered? I've been told they're the real problem.

New York state is considering creating a special hotline exclusively for CEOs to report perceived threats, CNN reported this morning. Nice little reminder of just how responsive government can be when it comes to corporate executives.

This is begging for snark.

I blame flint.

I’m feeling vindictive when it comes to people who are manipulating the justice system. He is obviously connected as he opted out of prison during covid and never went back. The other judge had one of his kids suicide after they ruined his future. Both of them should have died in prison. We have a very serious issue with perspective. Violence done by the upper classes through systems continues to be considered fine. They are making vigilante shootings more likely as the systems appear ineffective.

Funny, we were just discussing this is another topic.
It seems we've finally figured out how the imminent threat posed by AI is going to play out-- exactly how a 1980s dystopian film would have predicted.
The predatory class will be using physical drones to blow up people's bodies, and 'philosophical zombies' to blow up people's financial security. 
 

That's a pretty rough take. I can't really argue with it though.

Wow, that’s some bullshit. I just can’t get by the energy usage as a human relying on the biosphere.

I second the clothes thing. I’m pretty much jeans and t-shirts so that shouldn’t be bad. There’s a good thrift store near the new place with a remarkable amount of stock. I’ve noticed some of the urban ones are about fashion so you need to check these places out to measure their value.

I suffered my personal Pearl Harbor yesterday. Who knew there was a surf guitar drummer by?

I'm seeing things similarly.

We've moved some money out of the stock market and into our property up North. We signed a contract for our cabin kit and paid our down payment. Those materials should be in country before the likely upcoming economic contraction. I don't know how much of the lumber will be Canadian. Most of the stick lumber in my floor system was Canadian sourced since our local yard doesn't have a lot of production capacity.  We're doing as much as we can on our own but may tap the Amish for some work.

Community is a part of our planning. The northern place is not setup as well for gardening and animals but is better in neighborliness. 

We are both considering working at a reduced level in retirement. That could be more critical if the oligarchs wreck the stock market. We've always ridden these things out and gained from them so panic must be avoided. Market timing is not something I want to try. SS is being targeted and lately they've been floating ending it without a payout at all. This will force some belt tightening but we're better off than our age mates generally. 

I expect to fail sometime Saturday as we're trying to do more locally owned brick and mortar shopping. 

It looks that way. I was waiting for it to “pull rank”.

“It‘s a beautiful facility that’s been in our possession for many years, but the changing climate of scouting has caused it to be underutilized,” he told syracuse.com | The Post-Standard.Sabattis is 165 miles northeast of Syracuse, a three-hour and 40-minute drive along rural roads. The camp has no cell or internet service, or cabins. Scouts sleep in tents and cook their own meals over camp fires. Electricity is provided via a diesel generator.  “Most adult leaders want modern amenities,” Theetge said. “They want to be connected to work and home.”
Not enough glatts in scouting...
