A Simple Weekend Tasking

Most people spend their weekends drowning in headlines that won’t matter by Monday — while missing the few signals that will. This week’s Peoplenomics cuts through the noise with a simple question: what actually changes people’s lives in the next 72 hours? Weather, shutdown mechanics, markets, supply chains, and geopolitical risk all get ranked — not by outrage value, but by real-world impact.

What makes this different is the method. Instead of chasing narratives, we run a disciplined scan, then stress-test it with human judgment. The result isn’t prediction theater — it’s orientation. You’ll see why markets can look calm while quietly losing their informational compass, how partial shutdowns degrade data quality without triggering alarms, and why “nothing happening” is often the most dangerous condition of all.

The companion ChartPack takes it further, showing where today’s market rhythms rhyme with past turning points — and where they don’t. It’s not advice. It’s situational awareness for people who prefer thinking over reacting. If you like knowing why something matters before everyone else suddenly notices, this is one worth clicking — and keeping.

Comments are reviewed by a human because the web is crawling with spammers. Submissions after 4 PM Central usually appear the following morning. After you click Post Comment, you’ll jump back to the top of this article, but your comment is queued up here. We’ve got a robust community and your participation is invited. Some commenters are brilliant. Read a few and judge for yourself. Imagine. You could be one.

  1. AI appears to be merely looking at the MSM’s reporting dynamic, not looking at anything the MSM hasn’t reported on. NO apparent forward thinking dynamic, if it hasn’t already appeared in the MSM.

    To me that dynamic is NOT surprising since if something hasn’t happened in the short term past and been commented on by the MSM the AI engine doesn’t see anything there.

    wrt a US attack on Iran … NOTHING but crickets about that now Cast In Stone attack and the US starting another Major War in the Middle East, probably yet this weekend

    wrt a potential Iranian Response on the US homeland WHEN we attack them, which they have clearly said in the past is an option is in their play cards AND if that would happen WOULD be the lead news stor(y)(ies) come Monday. (manpad use only requires a couple of people at a couple of airports to create nationwide chaos)

    wrt the Silver collapse on Friday … NOTHING about any financial institutions potentially biting the dust because they were heavily leveraged on the long side of that trade (nobody cares about the retail traders) which would definitely be BIG news come Monday

    wrt the Chinese apparent internal conflict between Xi and parts of the PLA again nothing though that again “could” be major news if either big time open fighting breaks out or if Xi is “deposed” (also nothing about the reports that Xi apparently wants to go to War over Taiwan, and the US, “NOW” while we are distracted in the Middle East)

    AI to me looks like it is merely repeating the MSMs talking points, emphasizing the same issues and points that the MSM is emphasizing. If the MSM is ignoring potentially life changing stuations AI is ignoring them too.

  2. The Chinese technology development machine is starting to leave the rest of the field behind. When they can’t figure something out, they just use state-sponsored hacking to steal technology, and state funding to keep the R&D going forward.
    US corporations are typically run by MBA-types whose emphasis is exploiting and gas-lighting coworkers for fun and profit. Most corporations are run by personality-disordered freaks who got where they are by playing coworkers and anyone else with the misfortune to interact with them off against one another, and plagiarizing those Others professional and intellectual achievements. Typically the psychopaths specialize in and excel at retaliation, as much as anything. With political “leaders” generally being cut from the same bolt of cloth, you have a system that excels in flashy boasting, but mostly just peddles old worn-out technology with updated marketing.
    The Chinese and the CCP are even more ruthless, but they do seem to actually deliver decent living standards to the average worker bee, at least compared to what previous generations endured. Loyal, long time employees make for continuity and progress.

    • (“The Chinese technology development machine is starting to leave the rest of the field behind. When they can’t figure something out, they just use state-sponsored hacking to steal technology, and state funding to keep the R&D going forward.”)

      hymm….????….It’s always interesting when people claim China “has to steal technology,” because it ignores a much larger structural reality. China already manufactures nearly every category of modern hardware, and it invests heavily in STEM education and research. When a country produces millions of engineers and scientists every year, it’s not operating from a position of technological weakness its building growth..

      Meanwhile, the United States has created its own bottleneck in an attempt to control the general public. Higher education has been priced so aggressively that young people have to think twice before pursuing the very degrees the country claims to need. Student debt functions less like an investment and more like a lifelong financial burden. That’s not a talent pipeline — that’s a deterrent. The general public has to work long hours to the point they don’t have the time..what they get is the drive at five ews. where in decades past mom and dad sat around the kitchen table discussing the days events. Today it fast food and a fast life in an attempt to stay ahead of inflation..

      Even our institutions reflect this Huge divide. Harvard’s libraries are generally open to the public I personally read books and research papers there all the time, while , while Yale restricts access.. try and read one paper or study..its not going to happen. One treats knowledge as a public good; the other treats it as a controlled asset. Multiply that mindset across the entire system and you end up with a society where many graduates struggle with basic literacy and critical reasoning, not because they lack ability, but because the system was never designed to empower them.Only to control them…

      So before we point fingers outward, it’s worth asking a harder question inward:
      How can a nation compete globally if it systematically limits access to the very education and knowledge that drive innovation?

      • “It’s always interesting when people claim China “has to steal technology,””

        A meaningless default answer. IRL when people say that default the default response is, “Look, squirrel.” and walk away.

      • It can’t especially when it spent 50 years heavily discriminating against the White male.

        3 generations of White doctors, lawyers, researchers, engineers, etc., were kept out of Harvard, Yale, Rice, Columbia, MIT, John Hopkins, etc., as we flooded our country with foreign students, H1B, and other Visa categories to place them ahead.

        There is no catching up. There has been a huge push to remove Whites from the top of every industry and classification.

        Abortion, discrimination, feminism, and many other tricks Ike new schools, and sucky liberal education leading to 25 percent drop out rates.

        So much that has been documented on this site.

        America is weak.

        A cabal rules over us and has infected every sphere. They have made sure their children got an excellent education. They are heavily over represented everywhere leading the charge to America’s decline.

        Their faces, as they age, take the shape of birds of prey and they become grotesque outwardly reflecting the inward evil choices they made and spent a lifetime foisting that evil on others.

        Observe Chuck Schumer’s face, Bill Gates, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg (passed away), Walensky, at the CDC, lying about the bio weapon, covid 19 vaccine., Mayorkis keeping the borders wide open under Biden, etc., etc., etc., a multitude too numerous to list here, infecting everything once great in America.

      • I never said China “has to steal technology”. Read it again. What I did say was that the US is a “system that excels in flashy boasting, but mostly just peddles old worn-out technology with updated marketing.”
        You misread my first sentence, and ignored the rest.

    • Yep, longtime ee’s make for Hitleresque Concentration Camps if you are Uyghur:
      https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-22278037
      ‘Human rights groups believe China has detained more than one million Uyghurs against their will over the past few years in a large network of what the state calls “re-education camps”, and sentenced hundreds of thousands to prison terms.’

      Great place for a PhD to deliver pizza:
      https://indianexpress.com/article/world/oxford-masters-phd-no-job-chinese-man-delivery-agent-10110067/
      ‘A man in China who holds degrees from top universities, including Oxford, is working as a food delivery rider, raising questions about the value of academic qualifications in a difficult job market, the South China Morning Post reported.’

      One third of China’s workers in poverty:
      https://www.statista.com/topics/1540/migrant-workers-in-china/?srsltid=AfmBOooNO7RWHmow34mkJZj_NCzvbf-RJWrC86wsSGSjzLete29TblxH#topicOverview
      ‘The number of rural migrant workers in China reached almost 300 million in 2024, comprising more than one third of the Chinese labor force. Rural migrant laborers propelled the extraordinary boom of China’s economy over the last decades but are still subject to discrimination and unfair treatment. Their children often have limited access to healthcare and education and are often separated from their parents for years on end.’

      Happy FireHorse New Year!

  3. The silver and gold retreat on Friday is interesting, but I’m not in the market, yet. Gotta wonder if some officious group found the warehouse ?

      • The gold run-up was likely due to credit and the ascent stopping to liquidity drying up. Probably still in a 4th wave and once the credit issues are resolved gold will make a final high.

        Moreover January is in the books – happy Black History Month! Don’t forget Nostradamus, born 100 years before the Pilgrims arrived wrote we’ve got less than 2 months before collapse collapse w/an outside chance the collapse collapse happens in April.

        Gold refiner stops taking scrap delivery to melt down in US

        The Swiss company has also paused advance payments to clients as it struggles to deal with the surge in business, according to a Jan. 27 letter seen by Bloomberg News. “To navigate this environment responsibly, Metalor is implementing an immediate pause on outgoing advances,” according to the letter, which was sent by the company’s Americas refining business group to clients.

        Metalor declined to comment on the letter.

  4. Made the bet. Made a $100. I won’t mention any names., but it’s was from one of you, reading this. The bet ? That Andy would ‘not’ be boarding any vessel, in any form of the Merchant Marines. Instead of having a money order mailed to me, I told the “total-loser” to give the $100 to his local food bank., or, if he doesn’t trust them with cash, buy a hundred bucks worth of baby food and give that. [ The bet was placed, via email, in the first week of January.]
    .
    I couldn’t find the post again.., but who ever it was that got their Morgans for $39.., that was the same price I paid for my two bags of Morgans.., in April. Still looking good., though down somewhat. What happens to Silver here-on will be interesting.

    • That would be me that heisted five $39 Morgans from a TV ad back in December. Advertising ‘loss-leader’ that gets a proven buyer on their mailing list. I get USPS advertising mail from them several times a week yet.

      • we were almost neighbors Hank. oh about 6 months ago i had applied to work a deck hand on biology ship for the University of Hawaii.

        The called me about 2 minutes after i sent my email to him. He said We need you here. you are going out to sea. i need you send me a picture i need you to send me a picture of your Drivers License and Passport, you are flying here in the morning.

        it was for working on a ship taking Biology Students to Fiji, American Samoa, New Zeland and Ant-Artica. 3 months out to sea and two months home rotation. Job paid $450 a day, 7 days a week. including shore time home for 2 months. he said You also get a $3000 a month living allowance. you should be able to easily afford an appartment here close to the marina. and you get a super big discount on college credits at the U of Hawaii.

        the only problem was, he needed someone with their Ordinary Seamans Cert on their Merchant Marine card. that takes 6 to a year sea time and a 3 week school in San Diego to get first.

        $16,500 a month is i think enough to live in Hawaii.

        he did say, save my number and once you get your OS qualifications, give me a call. i will find a spot for you.

        on another note: The Last time Trump met in person with the rich kids at the WEF? shortly there after we had a plandemic. it started with an event in china then 6 months later it was shut the entire worlds economic engine down, shelter in place and stock up on but wipe.

        this time, shortly there after The Epstine files were released, Black Rock Liquidated almost a Billion in Botcoin alone, and everyone pushed fast into cold hard Cash. where Mr Buffet has been sitting for uhh what…. 2 years now.

        i did read that Epstine paid the wages, and salary’s of developers who took Bitcoin mainstream. Epstine paid all their salaries for a few years starting in 2010.

        back when bitcoin was $0.15 a coin.

        the worlds most famous child trafficer paid the salaries of the bitcoin developers to make it go mainstream?

        then shortly this meeting between Trump with The wef,

        Trump Appoints a new fed chair,
        they release a bunch of shit on a bunch of “powerful” people in the epstine files, Putin says The Western Elite have been filling their bellies with flesh and money, the Vampire Ball is over”

        then everyone who is a whose who, starts liquidating.

        i am happy to say, i have never owned a single bitcoin, so i have no spiritual financial transactions and exchanges between me and Child Trafficers.

        i do have a little silver and gold but that came from the earth.

        • So did Bitcoin, genius.

          Every fucking thing existing in Ure fucking reality came from Earth/Universe, everything.

          Artificial, synthetic..what have you – All comes Earth/Universe.

          Brainwashed zombies truly are a tiring lot, and I mean a lot.

          I_____in the PNW

        • “$16,500 a month is i think enough to live in Hawaii.”

          It is certainly more than I am living on in Hawaii !!

      • BCP, The Sign reads:

        The Restrooms are for customers only.

        so If ya have to take a shit?
        You must first pay the toll.

    • Generally do you ever expect to sell your Morgans? Any gold/silver I have is considered off book money and will only be sold to (desperately) pay property taxes if everything does collapse collapse in March.

      • I consider my physical PMs to be ‘wealth preservation’ thru hard times. I’m not a ‘trader’. But in extreme need… I would sell what is necessary to survive. Much like you.

    • well, i havent made my choice as of yet. i have time to let it settle and then when i do make the choice, whichever way, i will bw confident i chose correctly according the Great Cosmic Will of THE DUDE.

      i have the credentials for a reason. they could serve me in another way some distance in the future. like my TS clearance approval i recieved from Homeland Secuirty when i was going to go work US Border Partol served in my application for Military Sealift Command.

      i am listed by the US Government as Trust worthy.

      My Running Seahawks security for a few years served helping me get my girlfriend a job out there working on the field security for the Seahawks in the playoff games, 2 years before i met her. i still have many contacts out there and i just had to make a few phone calls.

      i could provide many other examples such as these.

      i read this morning, “We grow spiritually and find that we truly are gaining a new level of freedom in our lives. Memories of the past no longer hold us back as new possiblilities apear. Our lives stretch out before us like a limitless horizon giving us an invitation to live and we accept it with gratitude.”

      then i also read this,
      II Peter 2:12 and 13,

      “but these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed speak evil of the things they understand not and shall utterly perish in their own corruption.

      And shall recieve the reward of unrightousness as they who count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and Blemishes, sporting themselves with their own decievings while they feast with you.”

      i have the luxiory of waiting for more information to present itself. it would certainly be an error to make a choice without all the facts prior to the moment i have to chose.

      Yes! as it is.

      if everything falls into place and that summer job comes in exactly as i hope? then Yes, of course. only a fool would say no to all that is offered.

      i most likely remain here.

      but that other job doesnt begin until may. alot could happen between now and then. and very rarely does everything work out exactly as expected.

      time to time it does. it can and will.

      but that doesnt happen very often.

      ******note: this the other part of the Equation: before all this i had some paperwork that was proof a fella ripped me off to the tune of $8,000. i had been sitting on it. all i had to do was make a phone call and id got paid. i had been sitting on it since november. i dont always play my cards right away when i have them in my hand. i sat on them for 2 months.

      Then i decided a last week to let it go in an exchange for something else. so i tossed the paperwork proof that i had been ripped off for $8,000 in the garbage and said I am open to recieve something of greater value.

      exactly one week later this new opportunity presented itself.

      since they exposed Eptstine clients and rolled the bitcoin credits this weeked , we can deduce,

      Yippie-yi-o
      Yippie-yi-yay

  5. Measles is one of the most contagious diseases because it spreads through droplets that hang in the air for hours, and its carriers are contagious four days before and four days after the telltale rash appears.
    https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2026/01/31/south-carolina-measles/

    All the stats on measles:
    https://www.cdc.gov/measles/data-research/index.html

    Transmission
    Measles is one of the world’s most contagious diseases, spread by contact with infected nasal or throat secretions (coughing or sneezing) or breathing the air that was breathed by someone with measles. The virus remains active and contagious in the air or on infected surfaces for up to two hours. For this reason, it is very infectious. One person infected by measles can generate up to 18 secondary infections.

    https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/measles
    Measles vaccination averted nearly 59 million deaths between 2000 and 2024.
    Even though a safe and cost-effective vaccine is available, in 2024, there were an estimated 95 000 measles deaths globally, mostly among unvaccinated or under vaccinated children under the age of 5 years.

    https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cn9zznx8qdno
    Trump cancelled membership in WHO, also ‘stiffing’ the organization for $

    ‘Washington has traditionally been one of the biggest donors to the WHO, but has not paid its fees for 2024 and 2025, which has already caused huge job losses at the organisation.

    Although WHO lawyers suggest the US is obliged to pay the arrears – estimated at $260m (£193m) – Washington said it saw no reason to do so.’

    Remember how Trump handled Covid:
    ‘The US had one of highest death rates in part because of a patchy response to WHO advice on mask wearing and social distancing, according to Drew Altman, a former US public health official.’

      • Wilson, stay off the Kool Aid, you are delusional as usual lol:

        Measles was eliminated in the U.S. (our immigrant worker population did not spread measles during the last 100 yrs of their U.S. presence), click on the blue (imported cases) and red (domestic cases) circles:

        It spread because people refused vaccination:
        https://publichealth.jhu.edu/ivac/2025/us-measles-cases-hit-highest-level-since-declared-eliminated-in-2000

        If you don’t have a 95% vaccination rate, the horse is out of the barn!

        • immigrant workers and the open boder invasion are two seperate actions,, immigrant workers have been coming and going all my 73yrs of life, but the open border Sorass invasion came to challenge Trump’s 1st term,,, it appears that slo Joe’s open border policy lines up with the measle explosion,,,how odd,,,
          how is the grape flavoring? real or synthetic?

    • don’t give a crap about the end of WHO, but celebrate it’s ending,,, but who is involved with Epstein and E Jean carroll,, well Reid Hoffman, is their common man
      Billionaire Reid Hoffman, Who Bankrolled the E. Jean Carroll Lawsuit Against Trump, Is Featured Extensively in the New Epstein Files, Visiting Zorro Ranch and Pedophile Island
      https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/01/billionaire-reid-hoffman-who-bankrolled-e-jean-carroll/
      punny how Trump said to ignore the Epstein stuff and got the demons to demand it,, OK here it is now

      Bill Gates is a big WHO supporter,, is he in the Epstein files? Oh Ya !!!

      • Wouldn’t you like to know about any recent Ebola, Nipha, Bird Flu, etc outbreaks? Rather childish to refuse participation in a World Health Organization. It amounts to acting out your inner child conflicts/traumas at the expense of others..

        https://www.cnbc.com/2026/01/31/epstein-files-trump-howard-lutnick-steve-tisch.html
        ‘Documents contain thousands of references to Trump
        They included emails in which Epstein and others shared news articles about President Donald Trump, commented on his policies or his politics, or gossiped about him and his family.’

        On June 28, 2019, Epstein messaged Bannon: “Now you can understand why trump wakes up in the middle of the night sweating when he hears you and I are friends.” The context is not discernible from that exchange. Bannon responded: “Dangerous.”

    • re: tetanus shot reminder
      feat: “Rusty Nail” on the rocks

      Msm notes left wing UK PM Sir Keir has arrived in Japan and met right wing Japanese PM Ms. Sanai Takaichi.

      PM Takaichi is from the ancient Japanese capital of Nara founded by the Fujisawa Clan in the 7th century. Her mother was a policewoman and her father had employment with the Toyota yasuda. The PM worked in the office of Democratic US Congresswoman Patricia Schroeder from Colorado, and launched her career as a Japanese tv news broadcaster. Turns out that the PM is a heavy metal drummer partial to Iron Maiden and Deep Purple.

      Upon her election as PM late last year, her karaoke rendition cover delivered years past on national TV of the 1994 Japanese heavy metal standard “Rusty Nail” by X Japan resurfaced to critical acclaim. Here is a clip of the event appearing on the following Instagram link:

    • More manufactured BS on meaeasles.

      Estimated…BS.

      Measles is easily treated AND confers life-long protection unlike the vaccinations.

      Most of us older than 60 caught it from other kids before 10 and we all survived a long with the mumps, and chicken pox.

      What a scaredy cat nation we have become, foisting damaging vaccinations on our young, then opening our borders up to the unvaccinated.

      Our vaccines either work or they don’t.

      Covid 19 vaccines did not work.

      • Dtd:
        Stubborn childishness does not work or save lives:
        From Ai:
        ‘High Protection for Older Adults: In 2025, it was estimated that COVID-19 vaccines averted 2.5 million deaths worldwide between 2020 and 2024, with 90% of those lives saved being among people aged 60 or older.’

          These mRNA Covid “vaccines” are not health-promoting agents but health-destroying poisons/bioweapons that have killed MILLIONS OF PEOPLE globally, and it’s still ongoing — http://www.CovidTruthBeKnown.com or https://www.rolf-hefti.com/covid-19-coronavirus.html (The 2 Married Pink Elephants In The Historical Room –The Holocaustal Covid-19 Coronavirus Madness: A Sociological Perspective & Historical Assessment Of The Covid “Phenomenon”)

          “I kept an extensive record of sudden deaths of mRNA vaccinated doctors during 2021-2023, after COVID-19 mRNA Vaccines were forced via mandates. The data showed a SKYROCKETING MORBIDITY AND MORTALITY OF DOCTORS following injection with mRNA products. I stopped keeping track as it became clear that for the medical and political establishments, THESE SUDDEN DEATHS WERE DEEMED “ACCEPTABLE” TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE. And doctors themselves, stayed silent.” — William Makis, M.D., September 2025 (https://archive.is/R9G0j)

          “The term ‘mRNA vaccine’ is a cover for nanotechnologies that are being used as gene-editing technologies and agents of biowarfare on US and global citizens. The cationic liposome nanotechnologies are being used to introduce non-human DNA into the cells of adults and children to turn their cells into disease-causing, toxic spike-protein bioweapon factories.” — Karen Kingston, former Big Pharma employee, in 2023 (https://archive.md/GTmQ1)

          “There are essentially no usable, relevant and unbiased policy-grade clinical trials of COVID-19 vaccine efficacy, and COVID-19 vaccine efficacy has never been reliably demonstrated in observational or ecological studies free of design bias.” — Denis G. Rancourt, Ph.D., Independent Research Scientist on Covid-19 “Vaccines” in 2025 (https://archive.ph/uWpzR)

          “Despite the extensive documentation, most mainstream doctors and media dangerously continue to ignore my findings and refuse to speak about the self assembly nanotechnology that is in every human being now. The blood contamination is greatly accelerating in the amount of nanotechnology seen due to C19 bioweapon shedding, geoengineering and food contamination, to name a few sources.” —Ana Maria Mihalcea, M.D., Ph.D., Oct 2023 (https://archive.ph/GbMtm)

          “This is why they have to make yard signs that say “Science is Real”. Because this new science ISN’T. It is a total in-your-stupid-face conjob.

You only need yard signs promoting things that AREN’T real. Like new science and, say, political candidates.” — Miles Mathis, American author

  6. re: Kyiv calls Marlboro Man
    feat: gotta’ light?

    Where there’s smoke, there’s fire? The President of the Ukraine has cut down on his usual number of media posts judging by recent output. “Repair teams have been deployed” to address a Romania to Moldova powerline failure caused by an alleged “technological accident”. As a result, Kyiv and other regions are blacked out.

    Yesterday the President noted a Russian missile attack on a Philip Morris (cigarette-making) factory in Kharkiv. Msm “RBC-Ukraine” included a footnote with its own report informing that the factory has been vacant since 2022.

    Philip Morris dates to 1847 and became a goto smoke as British troops returned from the Crimean War in the 1850’s. King Edward VII apparently favored the blend. The brand’s subliminal advertising remains extant as seen with example of Scuderia Ferrari HP.

    Marlboro brand commemorates the first company factory on Great Marlborough Street in Soho, London. The thoroughfare received its name in 1704 after victory by John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough, at the Battle of Blenheim. An Allied victory against Franco-Bavarian forces preserved the Grand Alliance of 1689.

  8. With both PM’s and cryptos tanking, you have to wonder if someone is raising capital to stave off margin calls.
    I don’t see anything in the interbank rates, or any gossip regarding the repo window which indicates anything involving Fed patrons. Could be just a commodities deal, but how often is that the case?
    Lack of gossip tends to indicate that big players are suppressing the narrative. The percentage drops, and the value of paper losses in commodities and crypto are staggering. Chances are good there is more yet unseen.

    • n____ : no need to wonder, yes, there were gobs of margin calls this past week.

      I never got the administrative call / nor had to make the client call.
      Good friend had to make the call, every day for a while.
      It’s not an endearing situation.

      Hey Jack, well, the GM Preferred seemed like such a good idea at the time but … you have another margin call. Same 3 choices as yesterday : bring in good funds by 4pm Eastern / sell some of the position / do nothing and Corporate will sell enough to meet margin.

      What would you like to do Jack?

      You don’t know Jack.
      Sore loser …
      Bye, E

      • Yeah, I definitely don’t know jack about trading on margin in personal accounts, throwing money at the top of the crypto pyramid (scheme), and I’m on the sideline on PM acquisition, especially paper PM’s. But who knows, a few more 30% down days, and maybe I do some bargain hunting.

    • Next time ask if they have any solutions to our $38 Trillion debt problem, and can we hurry up the beating of swords into plowshares (Climate Change is the Universal Enemy at this point lol)
