Challenger Job Cuts, Insurance “Fired” and a Peoplenomics Follow-up

by

Right out of the hopper today, after the market declines this week, another take on jobs and this one is not good. From here:

“U.S.-based employers announced 38,792 cuts in December, a 33% decrease from the 57,727 cuts announced one month prior. It is up 11% from the 34,817 cuts announced in the last month of 2023, according to a report released Thursday from global outplacement and business and executive coaching firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas, Inc.

In the final quarter of the year, companies announced plans to cut 152,116 jobs, down 13% from the 174,597 cuts announced in the third quarter of this year. It is up 30% from the 117,163 cuts announced in the same quarter of 2023.

In 2024, employers announced 761,358 job cuts, up 5.5% from 721,677 announced in 2023. It is the highest annual total since 2,304,755 cuts were announced in 2020. Except for 2020, it is the highest total since 2009, when employers planned 1,288,030.

Tomorrow morning could be weak in markets as a result is our take on it. The silver lining? When aren’t we wrong?

Markets Closed Today

Well, the Dow and the NASDAQ, anyway.  Futures were pricing lower across the board, however.  And the crypto con slowly unwinds with BTC sagging to $93,628.70 when we looked earlier.

Ports to Stay Open

One notable market risk came off the table overnight: Longshoremen reach tentative deal with ports and shippers, averting potential strike.

Train Wreck Report I

SoCal fires are on a terrible roll: Los Angeles wildfires spread to Hollywood as 100,000 ordered to evacuate..  While 10’s of thousands will have massive fire losses, already the hype machine about Climate is kicking in with attention-getters like This Week’s Unholy Mix of Drought, Wind, and Fire in Southern California: A Warning of an Accelerating Insurance Crisis in Climate-Risk Areas? For a little less faddish view, try Experts: Palisades Fire Will Worsen California’s Insurance Crisis.

I know: “What crisis?”  (Did you really sleep through the PG&E fires?)

Hat tip to Reader Ray for the explainer ( in our listen to the smart grownups talking) Comments section:

“Fire insurance coverage in Southern California ended on September 1st, 2024. I don’t know if current policyholders are grandfathered in, nor if they are, for how long.

The Democrat supermajority in the California Legislature thoughtfully capped insurance rates a while back. State Farm was the last fire insurance provider in the State. They pulled the plug because they could not remain solvent on the “margin” to which Sacramento limited them. Paris Hilton is going to have to pay the $28mln out of pocket, if she wants her Malibu bungalow rebuilt…

Personally, I’d like to hear from the Surf Dude, to make sure he’s still in one piece. These fires are serious shit.”

Obviously, what percentage of homeowners insurance is earmarked for fire coverage (specifically) will be all over the place, but AI explains that:

“Fire and lightning damage is the second most common claim for homeowners insurance, accounting for 21.9% of claims. The most common claim is wind and hail at 40.7%.
Fire damage claims are the most expensive type of claim, resulting in an average premium increase of $273.
Factors that affect fire insurance premiums include: The amount insured, The nature of the insured property, The history of claims, The nature of the insured business, and The risk profile of the business.”

We expect some modest economic impact from this fire and a wholesale change in how people think about insurable risks of home ownership.

At the extremes?  No insurance would take a lot of the wind out of sales of mortgages (and CMOs).  OR, there will be an increase in general insurance of the property which could become baked into future sales prices.  Presumably, this would be amortized for some x-percent of homes being lost over the typical home ownership period.  Which is??

“In the 100 largest metro areas, the length of median homeownership duration ranges from 6 to 18 years. For example, the median homeownership duration in Sacramento, CA is 11.9 years, while in San Francisco, CA it is 16.3 years.”

Media is turning this into politics, too, and not without reason: James Woods Smacks Down ‘Blithering Idiot’ Gavin Newsom For Dropping Ball On Forest Management.  Brush huggers.  Which is why we spend time “limbing up” our tree farm.  And what’s this? The idiot speaks? Biden brags about how Hunter’s house was spared, despite over 1,000 homes burning down in the L.A. area. ViseGrips to the forearm – stat!

Oh, and another democrat being outed: LA Mayor Karen Bass Gets ROASTED for Cutting $17.6 MILLION From Fire Department As City Goes Up in Flames – Twitchy

The problem with these possible insurance outcomes? None of them protects the people paying for the home!  In the “insurance goes bye-bye” model, homeowners are screwed if they suffer a loss.  And in the “payable to the mortgage company only” case, they’re left baked and screwed. Marvy.

Insurance in China, you ask?  Home insurance penetration is relatively low compared to other major economies and in Russia  home insurance is voluntary, meaning homeowners are not legally required to purchase it, and as a result, only a small percentage of people do.

But our outlook for slower real estate turnover is based on facts. In Russia, the average down payment for a home purchase is around 20-30%, with some sources stating that the current average is closer to 30%.  In China a first-time home-buyer pays 15% of the property value, while second-home purchases require a minimum 25% down payment.  The US has been way below global down payments for a long time… no-doc blowback, anyone?

If you eyeball it just-so (and we do a lot of McGoo-like squinting around here) you can see a business model change. Bigger down payments to buy homes, less mortgage holder risk exposure… That could add in to the Economic Depression we envision getting up a head of steam this year. Remember, the CRE collapse still hasn’t been written down yet, either. And someone’s still gotta take the fall for that.

This all puts the “Fed in the box” after unjustifiably (in our view) lowering rates to help the Biden-Harris re-mess. Which brings us to…

Train Wreck Report II

Don’t look now, but the Fed Consumer Debt (ne credit) came out Wednesday.

Click over to Federal Reserve Board – Consumer Credit – G.19 and look at the mess.

What we see? My consigliere and I are both looking at the paradox. Which seems to reduce to “How can credit card use collapse and yet Retail was being reported up?”  My theory is that we will find out some possible “real uglies” on the 17th when the Retail Sales come in.

My consigliere is wondering how many people are using the new round of “company cards” that many of the large retailers have decided to begin issuing.  That’s a good point, because it may show up as “spending” but might not transit the books of Usury, Inc.

This afternoon, the Fed Balance Sheet will be released.  Useful if you missed the Creative Accounting class.  Tomorrow the official jobs report and we half-expect a large drop in the Household numbers while some BS headlines about how good things are rolled by.  A reality check, then?

Unemployment Filings Up

Rip N. Reed Reports

Hard to be anything but happy in the newsroom in the old days.  An A.P. wire machine chugging out miles of dead trees next to the UPI machine. And that newfangled BusinessWire machine making funny dot-matrix noises.  Still, the news got out but it’s mostly been replaced with idiocy and RSS…

Little doubt  Carter was better than Biden, we figure.  And we admired his Habit work, too: Americans flock to the Capitol to pay respects to former President Carter ahead of funeral: ‘Job well done’

She said WHAT? Nitro pill, please: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Calls Out Fellow Democrats for Being ‘Too Reflexively Anti-Republican’. (Does this mean socialist wannabe’s can read voter survey data?)

About Your Passport:  If it’s a US document congrats – 9th ranked in the world and tied with Estonia in this year’s rankings: The Official Passport Index Ranking | Henley & Partners. They rank Singapore as the best passport in the world this year.  Meanwhile Russian Passport Climbs in Travel Freedom Ranking. 46th.  China is 60th, BTW.

Europe’s idea of Justice is on the rocks: Syrian Who Sexually Assaulted 12-Year-Old Only Has to Pay $100 in Compensation.

Another Biden “torpedo” is going to miss: Trump Plans to Restore America’s Energy Output, Will Announce Emergency on Day One to Remove Biden Restrictions.  Is that strategic reserve filled up, yet?  Let’s zoom out here….

Chess At Sea

Something we have been keeping an eye on (because it will drive/impact Middle East naval operations) is the lack of U.S. refueling ships to keep the fleets going.  (A side of false economy with that?)  Still, it’s good to see that French Navy’s new tanker conducts first replenishment at sea with U.S. commercial oiler – Naval News.  Relying on the French to keep projecting power?  Um…

Here, look at what Biden did to our strategic p[etroleum reserves during his” squanderency”

See how reserves cratered when Biden showed up? Real numbers from the EIA here. Barely has a start on refilling since he was called out on China “gimme’s” last summer…

Around the Ranch: A Peoplenomics Follow-up

We try to get our “deep thinking” pieces posted for the mid-week report.  this allows subscribers to schedule reading into their workweeks without screwing up valuable weekend time blocks.  Our Wednesday piece this week dealt in particular with Downscaling (my latest book) and how Housing is a core part of that.

Turns out that one of the topics in that discussion was touched on in a late Tuesday report out from  the Tax Foundation which bears on exactly the “tax overhead” of property ownership that’s key to successful Downscaling.  They said in part “Americans Moved to Low-Tax States in 2024:”

“States that saw significant domestic migration-related population growth include South Carolina, Idaho, Delaware, North Carolina, and Tennessee.

At the other end of the spectrum, Hawaii lost the greatest share of its population to other states, followed by New York, California, Alaska, and Illinois.”

As we have discussed (on the Peoplenomics side) one of the key aspects to maintaining a high disposable income is strict personal income/expense management.  While it’s not comfortable, at first, to “drop out” of multiple “Rat Races” (including homes, landscaping, vehicles, and social events like meals out and entertainment) the payoff in the long run can be (and has been for us) a huge increase in financial wherewithal.

We sometimes like to analyze people’s financial condition just as you’d assess icebergs.  Most people have “melted through retained earnings” such that they have become Debtbergs.  Ready to “roll-over” any old time.  Witjh the Downscaling plan – and implicit recognition of increased retained earning through smarter spending and big increases in retained personal earnings (whether savings or investments) the outcome of being true “icebergs” comes about.  You never know which ones have the most mass below the waterline.

Properly structured then, Downscaling is all about the “Heads I win, Tails I win” approach to personal finance.  You may not be too keen on rural areas in the “least tax” states (including Texas), but in terms of standard accounting ratios, our annual percent of personal income paid as property taxes is a ridiculous 0.274 percent.

As a thinking point, consider that in Marin County (over the Gate from SF) the median property tax rate in 2024 was over $10,000.  Which would apply (not Downscaling) a personal income of $3.648 million to hit property tax “ratio equivalency.”  (Sadly, we’re nowhere near that top line, but we do win the tax domicile contest, hands down.)

The median income of Marin (2023 numbers) was $139,197.  So, median to median property taxes were 7.187 percent of median income.  Texas, in comparison, sports a much lower median income (statewide) of $76,060 with property taxes of just $4,916 in 2023. Which means real median property tax rates more in the 6.4 percent range.  But ridiculously lower (by a decimal point or two!) in rural areas where there’s low public employee retirement obligations and agricultural tax incentives to be harvested.

I mean, you’re welcome to remain in the higher tax burden glitz and all.  The restaurants are better, traffic is not, and oh yeah, the crime rates  trend higher in Big Cities. Which gets me to wondering, Big Spender: have you taken an I.Q. test recently?

I mean if you want to live on the railroad tracks, I guess that’s your call.  But we have been watching those lights up the track from out here…

      • i recently made the switch from Oreos to Chips Ahoy George.

        from the rich desert to the beautiful beach, from the beach to the Cache in the Artic North. From the Artic North to Ore Trains in the Mountains. from The Mountians to the Ships at Sea.

        its a sailors life for me.

        what a grand adventure life is.

        someone said to me, Is there anything you havent done in life Andy?

        i paused, looked down at the floor, then looked them right in the eye said your Mom.

        3 Dog Night

    • What’s a thermostat?

      If I’m cold, I toss another log on the fire. If I’m lazy, I just wear another sweater or coat. Strategic small gas heaters are enough backup. Why heat thousands of square feet when you’re only using one room at a time? The temp is supposed to go down to 5 degrees tonight. The only concern is the far bathroom that might want a bit of extra heat to get through the wee hours without an incidental freeze. Since I’ve repiped the whole place in PEX(A), I’m not terribly concerned about that. If I was, I’d just cut off that bathroom. In another month or two things should be warm again. BTW, today is probably a good day to visit Death Valley. 75 degrees and sunny.

    • I know your readers are intelligent enough to know this, after talking with God for a while, someone has to say it. God told me to say it, So, I am going to say it.

      3 more days after this fire business, which is the easy part of the refiner’s fire, The fires are just the start.

      in 3 more days it will become absolute chaos. Every man and woman for themselves. There will be hording of resources, rape, pillage and plunder, looting and crime beyond anything seen in a very long time… make the Rodney king riots look like a trip McDonalds playland by comparison. and nobody will be able to stop it.

      Phaze 2 of the refiner’s fire is when people have no water to drink, no food to eat.. for a week, no fuel to buy because they aren’t trucking in fuel and food, and the water service is going to be rerouted to put out the fires…. no electricity, no cell service, no emergency services, the cops aint answering the phone.

      Listen, There is over 800,000 Illegal Immigrants in Los Angelous County. There is over 200,000 Active Gange members in Los Angelous County alone. That is over 1 million people who don’t give a flying f about the law. On top of that there is over 100,000 homeless US citizens who have been waiting for this day.

      What are they going to do when 800,000 Illegal Immigrants have gone without water and food for week. All those homeless people who had been spit on by the people who had nice houses going to do?. Wonder what are all those active gang members planning to do? When there is no water, no emergency services, no electricity, no food, no phone services? Nothing being brough in… and no emergency services?

      Governor Newsome just activated 5400 National Guard to aid in the fires. That is alot like throwing a tictac at 60 mph freight train to stop it.

      Phaze three will be the disease….. it always works like that.

      Welcome to refiner’s fire. At some point, We are all having that Come to Jesus talk out at the woodshed.

      Note: Those of us who do business with THE LORD, Dwell within HIS economy. We aren’t so worried about it.

      Somebody had to say it. God said why not you? So, I said it.

      Good thing I am a Steen berg not a debt berg. Stone Mountain is different than Ice Mountain. Unless you think of the Pyramids of Egypt as Land Ice Bergs.

      Been a while since i read ure words…… they seem different since i been doing own thing. hmmmmmmm….. Different can be good.

      I will return to my sight.. by the time the big bad wolf comes knocking on my door, I will be out to sea.

      • Thank you Andy. In case anyone missed the hint: https://shavaq.com and it’s a wonderful place to explore.
        Blessings and Faith young man!
        Also, if you missed my recent change, scroll down to the bottom of https://urbansurvival.com/snow-and-mo-markets-scream-higher-and-a-woo-2. That explains the removal of a “cursed stone” from Ure’s place. Now, a week on, we are again protected by angels at each property line corner, above at 29 miles and 20 miles below.
        My friend of 70+ years – the Major – promises to write a woo piece explaining how global militaries are indeed organized along the same structure as the “heavenly hosts” from the lowest of demons (the enlisted) to the highest of power (Fallen ones) who comprise that command structure. It’s a good thinking point on “as above, so below”.
        Hearing is about listening…and few people take time for that anymore…

        • Yes,

          As it is in Heaven
          The Refiners fire and the City of Angels.
          So it is on Earth.

          Interesting times.

          Cool, I will check it out.

          I am taking the time to listen right now. I had a really good opportunity to join the merchant marines. Mariner Training paid for and everything. Paid relocation upon completion to Possibly relocate to Sydney, Australia in 3 months for 6 months to a year.

          We will see if THE DUDE wants me to do miracles down under, as well.

          I don’t really want to travel that much all over anymore. Maybe someone will ruin that plan to go to Austrailia. All my friends say, I would go in a heart beat! How fun!

          but they haven’t been on this trip with me for the last 5 years.. I am getting kind of tired of living out of a suit case and by faith. Waiting till the day its due to get paid by faith is not for everyone. I always have exactly what I need and some of what I want when I need it and want it. and on more than a few occasions I have it before it is needed as it relates to helping others.

          I have had no personal income what so ever in the last 2 months. Every time Time I need money for Gas, It just apears. Everytime a bill needs to be paid, I get the money some how the day its due. Every time I need food or anything at the exact moment I need it, I have it. I had a $260 bill due today. Yesterday I had no idea how I was going to pay it. I said DUDE its due tomorrow. I need that money. Woke up this morning and the money was there.

          Trips me out. The money is always there. I was down to a quarter tank of gas. I had a friend call me who needed help. I said Ok, I will come help ya but I am down to a quarter tank of gas. Walked up stairs grabbed a pair of jeans I hadn’t worn in a while, $100 bill in the right pocket. Have no idea how I didn’t notice that before. Ok, Cool, I have Gas and I am ready to roll.

          My mind goes nuts, because I would rather have a shit load of money sitting there all the time and not have to depend on that. but time and time again, exactly when I need it. I have it.

          I kinda don’t want to travel off to Australia. I mean it could be fun. Part of traveling so much is that you have to say good bye and you have to say hello. Then later you have to say good bye to the people you said hello too and hello to the people you said good bye too again. And everything has changed since you last saw them.

          and it does get lonely…… I am lonely…. and I’d like to settle down again. A beautiful woman in my bed once and a while is different than a companion for life.

          Yet,

          Men and Women like me go wherever the Spirit takes us. The Spirit has taken me many places.

          Good see Ure words. I will have a look. Good to hear you got rid of that icky rock.

          Then I am off to the gym and handle some other business. I will be back to writing again soon. I am taking a step back, to listen….. and enjoy a few things.

        • WOW, that is a wild story. Thank God you got that damn thing off your property. Pretty wild stuff man.

          I do think their is objects that are like black holes vortex’s that vacuum the light right of ya. Some people are like that as well.

          Well, afa everything else. Whatever THE DUDE’s perfect plan is, so be it. Anyone who tries to stop that from happening usually finds a bullet in their leg. Or they are actually making it happen thinking they have some illusion of control.

          I had a strange thing happen on the 4th. The moment I stepped out of my car and put my foot on the ground all the power for 3 cities went out. I went in the store did a few things and the exact moment I took my feet off the ground and got back in my car, all the power was restored to 3 cities.

          I dont know what to make of it. Ever since then, I have felt like a million dollars.n Over night I 20 years younger. I startred getting exponentially stronger and stronger physically. Cut my 250 push ups and 200 situp time of 55 minutes flat in half to 27 minutes 2 days later with no diet or any other changes. All after I stepped out of the car that day and all the power went out and the moment I stepped back in my car, all the power was restored. not to just one city but 3 cities. Not even a single traffic light was on.

          Good chatting with ya. Heading to the gym.

          Next time we chat? I might have an Austrialian IP address. hahah. Never know where I will be next.

      • (“There will be hording of resources, rape, pillage and plunder, looting”)

        sounds like business as usual in the big city.. seen some videos of Philadelphia and read some stuff on spokaneand seattle… wow.. sad real sad..
        I want to make some Swedish meatballs..I will worry later on the conditions of the planet that seems to have gone down the drain..
        good to see you back.

  2. Hello George & Commenters,
    If I remember right President Carter in his earlier years was a
    submarine Skipper. He was in command of a nuclear sub. I do not remember the problem, but I do remember he put on PPE clothing and entered a highly radioactive area, fixed the problem which took up around 10 minutes if my memory is right, your readers will correct me. Thank you.

    Remarkably, he did survive that experience and the rest is history. In my mind, his action demonstrated courage and valor that should make all submariners proud. And NO ONE has spoken of it. Not one of the media.

    Carters passing is a great loss to all humanity.

      • As they say, what happens in Canada stays in Canada.
        Red Green is Canadian?
        “I’m a man, but I can change, if I have to, I guess. Red Green: If the women don’t find you handsome, they should at least find you handy. Red Green: Well, I’m not gonna be calling the U.S. Air Force, Harold. What do I say? We’ve got a missile? They take that as a threat, we’re in real trouble.”
        Great show but

    • Nein, nein,nein

      James Earl Carter was a “bluewater” Lefteniut – surface warefare guy. Later on he he applied to nuke program under Adm. Rickover – was selected and held maybe an XO position on a “boat”. Peanut Pappy passed away – so Jimmy resigned his commission and went home to pick up the reins on the Peanut farm.

      He was a UFO experiencer – and spoke up about it..briefly- that was Courage. No one remembers the Oil Crisis !?!?!?!?!?!?!?

      Seen the most recent amounts/levels in nation Oil reserve under pedo joe ? What with raging inflation and ME warring going on its wonder Oil cant get a Bid in here..

      Americans had to wait in line on specified days, to get a tank full of Gas – AYFKM – this went on for ages. Not so bad in my household growing up , but still WTF.

      What I remember of that presidency is we couldnt get there fast enough…kinda reminds of this current criminal retard occupying the WH.

      Wonder what he was “paying back” with all his humanitarian work after his turn wrecking the economy was over?

      Got fond memories of Adolph Hitler and his henchmen as well ?

      • Back before Zoom and Skrype, news cruisers went to the front of gas lines – first responders yad yada. What gas line? Its only for regular red working guys…

      • (“No one remembers the Oil Crisis !?!?!?!?!?!?!?
        seen the most recent amounts/levels in nation Oil reserve under pedo joe ?”)

        I don’t believe there ever was an oil crisis..remember the guy that drove from Texas to DC being followed by every major news network on ten gallons of gas..sat in front of congress..they seized his car after he left..he made a simple plasma reactor for fuel..then there’s the Texaco challenge before I was born .. how much plastic and foam is tossed out a day..plastic is oil..Washington state university has I believe the only waste conversion unit allowed in the usa.. heck it took thirty years before they allowed smaller individual inverters..even now because of the business model solar and small wind is discouraged..
        they build huge solar farms so far away from the point of use..where if they built solar towers at the furthest point from the power plants and worked back to the power plants..handed out grid tie systems to everyone willing to have them installed.. instead of spending the money on inefficient large wind that requires huge changes on the grid .
        what needs to be changed is the business model..and mankind should become good stewards to the earth rather than a detriment to it .CO2 filters on every lamp post green scapeing cities to replace the urban expansion..air wells in arid regions..
        unfortunately…man won’t change the business model until absolutely necessary..for the cost of 1 big wind turbine every household in our state could have a grid tie system depending on tower cost between 30 and 300 solar towers instead of 3mw potential there would be 3 gigawatts plus.. and a rock solid almost fool proof grid security..

        • I can see having a thermal decomposition tank and a fractional distillation column, wood fired of course. Less than 55 gallons capacity is hardly worth firing up, and most plastic is in the form of thin walled containers, requiring lots of storage space just to keep nasty old plastic around. I hate to throw the stuff away, but that project would be yet another time sink.

        • “remember the guy that drove from Texas to DC being followed by every major news network on ten gallons of gas”

          No, I don’t, but since every major news network followed his trek, you should be able to find and post a link to the story.

        • (”
          No, I don’t, but since every major news network followed his trek, you should be able to find and post a link to the story.”)

          Wow that took some doing..its like magic..all the news coverages.. even the congressional record is missing that event.. all the patents ..every branch of the military had it patented along with every auto manufacturer.. vanished in midair…
          I couldn’t even find any copies of the Texico challenge that the company did for what fifty years.. there’s more stuff on the satanic pedo units than there is about this guy and it was covered by every major network..
          the unit was pretty simple.. using the then new catalytic converters high heat it was a simple plasma fuel reactior…

      • LOL! I remember the gas lines, and having to drive the right car that day to fill up. I had a contract up in Ithaca, NY where there was no shortage for some odd reason, so I’d be driving or flying a tanker back to home base. Fire depts. would probably not approve. I’d even used avgas at twice the price to keep moving and stay on schedule. I wish I had that level of energy these days, but I’m work’n on it.

        • at 45 cents a gallon to lol lol gas wars brought it down from there to..
          I will never forget the day..the price was 67.9 nothing spectacular..I was tired and thought I would wait till morning..got home goulash..the president on the evening news that he was deregulated gas..they can charge you less..
          the next morning… 1.09.9.. it hasn’t been below a buck since lol lol
          NY father use to say..be careful what you wish for..you might just get it…

    • Carter was never a “Skipper”. From MIL.COM “In 1950, Carter was sent back to New London to help with the development of the Navy’s first new ships since World War II ended, a submarine called K-1, where he became qualified to command one of his own. He never did.”
      As a former Dolphin wearer I am glad that he was never a skipper! A Pacifist as a skipper. YIKES!
      But as a man, he was a good man and like all of us with clay feet.

    • Jimmy Carter hired Admiral Stansfield Turner to cleanup the “George H. W. Bush, Operation 40 Group CIA”.

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stansfield_Turner

      Payback was Richard Helms getting fired as Director and being shipped to Iran as the CIA station chief in the Tehran Embassy.

      Too many people had begun connecting the former CIA Director to the JFK assassination, Watergate, and MKULTRA, among many other lesser know operations.

      And then there was the Richard Helms Tehran U.S. Embassy takeover and the 1979 “Iran Hostage Crisis.”

      The term “October Surprise” was born out of the Conspiracy Theory that Vice Presidential candidate George H. W. Bush took a CIA sponsored SR-71 ride to Paris to meet with Iranian diplomats, urging them to keep the hostages until after the 1980 Presidential election.

      This, of course, led to “The Iran-Contra Scandal” and people like the first Trump Attorney General, William Barr.

      G. A. Stewart’s Nostradamus Primer, 2023, Page 144
      “On January 30th, 1976, George H. W. Bush was sworn in as the Director of Central Intelligence.

      On July 27th, 1976 John Lennon won his legal battle to stay in the United States.

      On November 4th, 1980, Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush were elected President and Vice President.

      On December 8th, 1980, George H. W. Bush’s former CIA employee, José Sanjenís Perdomo was coincidentally there at the Dakota as the doorman when John Lennon was murdered.

      That “coincidence” should scare the shit out of every American. Members of the Operation 40 Group were everywhere in the last half of the 20th century; they spread terror from South America to Europe, and they laid the foundation for the tyrannical America that appeared at the dawn of the 21st century.”

      President Carter understood what he was up against, and I salute that noble attempt as the first blows against “The Deep State”.

      That is is President Carter’s unrecognized legacy.

  3. Joe Biden is seeking to regulate nicotine levels in cigarettes …

    https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/white-house/3279584/biden-last-minute-cigarette-ban-could-kill-jobs-welcome-crime/?utm_source=msn&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=msn_feed

    Not sure how he plans to do that since nicotine is a naturally occurring compound of the tobacco plant. – But no word on reducing the dangerous chemical additives incorporated into cigarettes which is what make them addictive and harmful.

    The tobacco plant is not the only plant that has nicotine naturally inherent. This may surprise you …

    https://snusdaddy.com/inspiration/what-foods-contain-nicotine

    So, why has nicotine always carried the blame and not the chemical additives ?? Hmmm

    Skip down to #4. …

    https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7192087/

    And here’s a more simple read …

    https://ctri.wisc.edu/2022/08/30/nicotine-patch-lozenge-or-gum-during-covid-19-hospitalization-may-reduce-mortality-for-those-who-smoke/

    I smoke but my wife doesn’t, so when she feels ill and loses here sense of smell, (you know the symptom) she puts on a nicotine patch and within a few hours she’s up and running again.

    Knowing little things like this and, how big Pharma works, it’s easy for me to call bullshit.

    • Now considering insurance..even with the trillions of dollars being invested in health insurances and the hundred billion in research grants for new medications.. how can they fix it..the fix could potentially be as devastating as the problem. there’s millions of people that rely on the insurance industry for their earnings ..some of my kids are involved in insurance..sure they had their Christmas party in Cancun for their whole family of everyone working.. but seriously that’s pennies on the dollar..
      sure it sounds bad but in reality the million dollar homes and recruitment incentives just a token of the actual amounts..
      the city will just head to the congress to get bail outs the poor will just move..that’s how the deep water oil drilling engineer ended up in our home..he lost everything. then a freak accident the one two punch of fate..

    • Nicotine is a fascinating drug. Nicotinic acid(Niacin) is an essential nutrient. Nicotine Adenine Dinucleotide(NAD) and its variants is also essential for metabolism and life itself as we know it. Nicotine tends not to be addictive unless in the presence of an MAOI(as in tobacco). That’s why the patch can work. Addiction tends to happen when you get short bursts of reward and then have to repeat, as we see in smoking cigarettes and watching Tiktok. Youtube shorts has also adopted this strategy.

      I keep nicotine patches around as part of my medical kit even though I don’t smoke and never have. Nicotine can tune dopamine receptors to become more sensitive, though in excess, it can be lethal.

  4. (“Fire insurance coverage in Southern California ended on September 1st, 2024. I don’t know if current policyholders are grandfathered in, nor if they are, for how long.”)

    Hmm… insurance companies show record proffits…after Katrina they paid pennies on the dollar..in Florida they Just didn’t pay..
    our healthcare system has more than an adequate amount invested in insurance premiums and federal taxes..they make record profits for not paying..

    I have fought insurance companies since before I could shave..do you really expect them to change now just because it’s California that has the damage..

    • Ugh, bad timing to read your words. I am technically still a licensed agent (though doing very little insurance in a 40 year career … it was simply required).

      To my great surprise I’m embroiled in two sides of Humana Medicare Advantage not paying claims? I’m simply not in the mood for this but … they are messing with the wrong fella. For the moment I am tasking my Agent (*) with getting one claim approved (after the fact, my procedure was yesterday) and … get the now (3) checks which are outstanding (not cashed) and lost in the mail? cancelled and replaced.

      For benefit of all here. Having problems with your Company? Get moved up to a Senior Associate and/or Supervisor. They generally speak better so are understandable and … should get things done (TBD, each time). Keep detailed notes (I did) and, if push comes to shove, on a recorded line make clear you will next relay correspondence to the Commissioner of Insurance in the state of your domicile. That office can get stuff done (eventually). It’s poison to the Carriers.

      (*) why have an agent, for this -or- P&C instead of writing my own coverage through an approved affiliate _and_ getting paid every time my premiums clock? For a day like today.

      I have finally had comm. with 2 friends and 1 family member in LA. The fam. had to evacuate last night but said their FD fought for the neighborhood (in the hills) or … his two homes would be gone. Well done smoke chasers!

      • lol lol lol..
        yes I have two girls in the business and two grandkids in the workings of becoming agents..
        the one daughter the company did so good that they had their Christmas party in cancun all expenses paid for them and their entire family… two weeks paid.. it’s a money maker for sure.. the other daughter they had they’re party at the most expensive place in town and a nice bonus check..
        while one of the guys that use to live in our spare room.. he was first refused treatment because he didn’t submit a deposit.. then has been trying to get back in because he’s been sick for several months .. of course they will wait till its beyond care. that’s the business model. seen it so many times..if you have the cash you get immediate attention.. that’s probably why the usa has one of the worst healthcare systems in the world.. takes in more money The US has the highest healthcare spending per person among developed countries, with figures significantly above the average of other wealthy nations…
        our government gives an average of around a hundred billion a year for research so they can charge us tens of thousands of percent more for those very medications..
        the sad part is to fix it.. all those in the business of selling insurance lives would be affected.. a dawned if you do and dawned if you don’t situation..
        the incentive bonuses and perks are but a drop in the bucket . the elderly in our small village head to Texas and Arizona so they can cross over the border to get medical treatments and cheaper drugs.

      • considering what the wife’s healthcare insurance premiums were the past few years..we could have put almost three hundred grand in the bank.. our home and auto insurance is right about twelve grand a year.. we live on 20 grand..just a tad lopsided isn’t it.
        this year was the hardest one of all swinging the budget.. I am still not quite sure if I cut deep enough. dining out..not anymore … nothing..no trips or anything. still trying to talk the wife into moving into another country with lower cost of living. what is shocking is we pay more in taxes to..

      • Befriend a lawyer…. lol lol lol lol for an industry that takes in trillions of dollars a year in insurance premiums.. lol lol lol lol like they truly give a shit about some rinkey dink thousand dollar an hour joker..

        that’s why the hit up the poor man for deposits on their future medical procedures.. and why people that can private pay get medical treatments ..its about
        buried with medical expenses at less than three bucks an hour.. called around the clock.. even had a collection agent come sit down and put his pistol on the table and inquire about how I would be able to pay..but being realistic I have not seen it all.. every time I think I’ve seen it all something new comes around.. and there’s always someone with it worse.. the last time I felt sorry for myself ..I seen a woman that was quad had to steer her wheelchair with her tongue.. they took everything except .75 cents.. she had been a hospital employee smoked by a drunk on her way home from work on new years eve.. he didn’t have insurance.. she had health insurance but their argument was it was an accident not health..

  5. In order to save the environment and reduce global warming – those who own homes on the beach side in So Cal may not be allowed to rebuild…

      • think about that one..for a minute..the cost twenty five years ago..materials was about 20 grand for a 700 Sq foot house. 114.00 a square foot to build one..
        a handy panel use to be about a dollar ..the kids wanted to build a bird house and feeder a handy panel 40.00…
        I had the manager run up the material cost.. 137 thousand..materials.. a building that cost 15 grand a few years ago. for sale half million..
        rent in a low income rental they have to clear 5.50 an hour on a 40 hour work week.. the wages around here are 12.00 per hour.
        that mansion that cost a million 40 years ago. will cost ten times plus to replace..
        if California was willing to pay a vouple hundred per house for illegals what are they willing to pay for the chosen ones..

    Where did the money go?

    “This Week’s Unholy Mix”

    Recall back there (Time Machine needed) the Right’s message was ‘if CA gays are allowed to marry… the God will strike them down’. Batter up. No turning back now.

    Yes, it’s a heavy pill.

    • And since she cut back on the size of the Fire Department, there was a lot of ‘Surplus Fire Equipment’, so she sent it all to Ukraine.
      Last night, there were reports they sent some fire personal home because there weren’t enough engines available to use them.
      Fruits of DEI in action.
      80% of the burned out homes belonged to blue voters. Karma’s a bitch.

      • AG Kimbrough,

        Hollywood scripts will replace the truth.

        However, a KABC 7 LA newsclip from March 18, 2022 pictures LA firefighting gear for Ukraine being prepped for packing prior to transport by private jet via Poland. Viewers were advised that the First-In Fire Foundation had reached out to the LA Fire Department for material aid. KABC obtained quotes from a (congresswoman-turned-)LA County Supervisor (of a high-powered multi-generational LA political family). The news outlet also quoted the male (and believed-to-be heterosexual?) Fire Department Chief. According to his public LinkedIn profile, he retired four months later. Seven months later he became VP of Emergency Preparedness and Security for the California Water Service in whose employ he appears to remain. The Foundation’s website “news” page seems bereft of mention of the generous donation to Ukraine by the LA firefighters. Other charitable activity undertaken before and after that remains on the site will hopefully satisfy inquiries.

        Perhaps as DJ George was kickstarting his early am gig with a cappuccino vente from the first Starbucks in Washington state, the first Italian cappuccino machine to reach American shores had already clocked up decades of service at Cafe Reggio in Greenwich Village, NY. There Hollywood stars and bucks combined to immortalize the venue in the Serpico and Godfather II films. Around the time that Frank Serpico’s classmate(?)/girlfriend(?) would have been waitressing at Cafe Reggio, a future president of the First-In Fire Foundation shared the lovely story of meeting her future spouse at the same Village coffee haunt.

        He became a partner in an “entertainment law powerhouse” firm headquartered in LA, and is a founding chairman of the First-In Fire Foundation as well as being an Honorary Fire Chief. The law firm was founded in LA in 1909 by a leading family of the era. By coinkydoink, the spouse of one of the two co-founders shares the same surname as the LA County Commissioner noted above. The co-founders’ father’s banking cousin played a role that involved JP Morgan vis-a-vis The Panic of 1893. A distant out east cousin of one of the current generations still active owns the multi-billion dollar conglomerate that sold “The Washington Post” to Jeff Bezos.

        These three or four California families have been intertwined for the past 170 years. Outsiders need not apply? They will tell us what to believe and we will listen.

  7. Just read this from Hal Turner LA arsonist story,
    “One Social Media user ironically commented “for all the talk about “national security”, ICBMS, nuclear defense, terrorist threats etc turns out you can take out the 2nd largest American city by starting a few bush fires…”

    Hard comment.

  8. Speaking of insurance – United Healthcare is in damage control mode, again.

    Ruthless.

    Doctor Says UnitedHealthcare Stopped Cancer Surgery to Ask If Necessary

    Adoctor has shared a shocking story of how UnitedHealthcare stopped a cancer surgery to ask if it was medically necessary in a new Instagram video.

    Elisabeth Potter, a doctor based in Austin, Texas, created a video on Instagram detailing her experience treating a cancer patient and what she said were the roadblocks UnitedHealthcare put up during a surgery procedure.

    https://www.newsweek.com/doctor-says-unitedhealthcare-stopped-cancer-surgery-ask-if-necessary-2012069

    • The DOJ is also vigorously trying to stop United Health Care from buying Amedisys, which is another huge healthcare corporation. This, to prevent an incredibly huge monopoly.

      The DOJ has been quite busy.

      • The company that the wife worked for.. sells every few years..originally built by an old coworker.. his vision was a long term care unit that would be affordable..
        we were sitting on a bunk of plywood discussing it.. since I volunteered at long term care centers.. ( back before certification was required) I told him to come back in ten years..they went bankrupt..to keep up with government regulations the costs are more than what the price guidelines are..and seriously how many has a quarter mil sitting around..
        I could last about an hour lol…
        call it the paper boy effect.. lol lol lol I delivered papers took me six months before it dawned on me I was paying them to deliver them.. the money is a constant flow.. so the owners see the money in big amounts coming in without realizing the outgoing is greater in the long run.
        one employer bought a ton of units all across the USA.. got a loan for billions then didn’t make any payments kept aol the money the people paid.lol lol lol big city financing.. before they closed the employees ( us included) was buying supplies .. then when covid hit the USA gave him another thirty million..
        medical the job of short shifts..I wish I had a dollar for every day it was tag your it.. the only medical facility that’s fully staffed is the VA .. the funding comes from everyone.. the only reason it has a bad reputation is because its ran just like a government office not a healthcare institution.. probably why Medicare doesn’t recognise the VA as a medical system..

    • The insurance industry is one of the largest profitable businesses in the usa..
      when young my wife had a Dalton shield iud.. had tons of medical issues.. then told everyone to suck air.. it’s the business model..

      • I am pretty sure that’s why they donate so much money to get our legislators to keep the business model moving along..they write the thousand page bills give out perks and even guarantee jobs to legislators that work less than a month a year..
        they will give you as many pages as there are pages in one of the bills in reasons why they don’t need to even crack the cover of the bill.. I tried to read the Obama care health bill made it through 600 pages before I gave up.. my sincere thought is with all the refer to sections that the bill isn’t just three thousand pages but closer to fifty thousand pages.. and would take a hundred Harvard lawyers to digest and peel away the layers.. biggest bunch of do nothings in the country.. with a mountain of issues and evidence..they all left for the months of do nothing…
        then again would I be any different?
        I would like to believe I would..but then I haven’t ever had anyone toss bags of cash on my doorstep or give luxurious vacations and perks.. free airfare thousand dollar motels and meals..
        I went to a three day medical seminar.. impressive the drug companies handed out so much..each of the kids had stuff .. laptops ,desk toys , I still head to the physicians lounge at either of the hospitals if I need stuff.. in its hard to say no to those making your life an adventure..

  10. And with the fires and everything else going on in the USSA, pedo joe is leaving D.C. to go visit the pedo king at the vatican today. He did mention it to the peasants of la la land that crackhead son ‘s house might have burned down . I’m surprised he didn’t go on about his house burning down with the wife , kids and dog in it.

        Making cheese from sour milk is a thrifty and practical way to use up milk that has gone bad. It’s a simple process that requires just a few ingredients and minimal effort. By using sour milk to make cheese, you can reduce food waste and enjoy the satisfaction of creating something delicious from what might otherwise have been thrown away.

  12. The result of the LA fires will be a large reduction in real estate taxes. Watch for this topic and new taxes to “replace temporarily” the lost “revenue”. Thank you Comrade for your “contribution”.

    • They don’t need the revenue! The people are gone and the houses that need services are gone too.

      Then again, municipalities are always whining. Time to read the CAFR reports. They renamed them to ACFR to make the name less pronouncable and help keep them hidden.

    • that’s an interesting thought on this..does the state still collect the same in taxes on an empty lot…

  13. Within the last hour I drove by, glanced at, and paid mental homage to the Wendy’s restaurant that President Carter and his family had lunch at 40 years ago, here in Winchester, Virginia.

    • I love Wendy’s..I could go in and they fix it your way.. I would have everything on the side.. then at work nuke the burger and assemble the burger..
      I love to take beef broth.. 1 tsp of onion and 1 of garlic powder and a half pound of hamburger.. 1 tbsp of starch potato or corn starch blend it so that it’s like a babyfood.. you can put other things in it to.. them mix it 4 to 1 four pounds of hamburger to one of the blended.. at this point add onions and green peppers chopped and make into patties.. bread crumbs etc..then freeze them cook them up in broth and make a gravy iut of the broth..

  14. And on that EIA link George:

    There is more oil in AK than theirs is sis Saudi. Brandon made sure he blocked access to ANWR which it, would seem as if an anti domestic oil production agenda wrapped themselves in a cloak of environmental ANWR and Buydem economics….. and it didn’t cost very much in terms of money expenditures for the benefactors to get their monopoly on supply protection LOL.

    Point being, all the OIL is in AK and the Gulf of Mexico. Pumping as much as can be produced and sold needs to happen starting Jan 20th if there’s any hope of taking some of the pinch on the hyperinflation that Brandon engineered.

    Inluencers.

    You will now see Big Changes in California.

    Watch the sea change happen.

    • “this time the affected people are all big celbrities”

      Not exactly true. the vast majority of the Palisades-to-Pasadena area is middle class and LMC working people. There are a few rich folk interspersed betwixt and between, but they’re the exception. Just the opposite applies in Brentwood, Malibu, and select other splotches along the North Shore. In these communities, you would’ve found the $7mln to $70mln houses (Streisand’s digs are around $120mil, but that’s after inflation) with a few cottages and mobile homes interspersed.

      I really wasn’t paying attention — somebody suggested on one of the TV stations that these are engineered fires, designed to allow the State (or certain individuals?) to lay claim to everything that’s burning.

  17. re: Challenging jobs report?
    feat: send money

    Folks,

    Recall outgoing #46 sent about us$700 million the other day to the Servant of the People party leader in Kyiv? Of course that represents a drop in the bucket of the tens of billions of dollars already poured into the Ukraine mess with arguably disappointing results.

    It would appear that Greenland’s largely service industry employment sector is hugely dependent upon subsidy from Denmark. However the subsidy amount of some years past made public was around us$700 million.

    Per Year.

    One could imagine an incoming US Administration will be comparing what value a US$ billion could buy in Greenland compared to Ukraine.

    The war will be over soon?

    • re: The Italian Job
      feat: Lions at the Forum

      Folks,

      The Fourth Estate must have been delighted last Sunday evening when Italy’s PM Giorgia Meloni arrived without advance public announcement to the threshold of Mar-a-Lago. She was not offered a 10 minute “Canadian wait of solitude” in the library, but rather received a cordial welcome from the President-elect himself. He, the First Lady-elect and the Italian entourage bid the wider Mar-a-Lago applauding club members ciao, and elegantly proceeded to the upper level via the staircase.

      Although the NFL was closing out its regular season on tv with the tied Lions and Vikings vying for the NFC(?) title, a USA documentary premiere played at Mar-a-Lago- “The Eastman Dilemna: Lawfare or Justice”.

      Regrettably #46’s planned trip to Italy which was supposed to have begun today was cancelled due to the LA fires. President Zelensky suddenly had an opening in his Rome stopover plans while returning from the defense minister confab at Ramstein.

      PM Meloni had the red carpet unrolled and greeted her “short-notice” guest attired in an impeccably presented white business casual suit paired with a matching shawl to guard against a cooling season. The visitor, having delivered a bear hug to the head of Nato in Germany a few hours prior, attempted a Déjà-Vu moment at the gates of Rome but PM Meloni’s shawl shield perhaps deflected full embrace. It was apparent too that the khaki trouser presser had been forgotten in Kyiv by someone.
