It’s the trifecta from hell. But, unless you’re making bets on Sunday’s Stupor Bowl, those are the games in progress.
Sure, sure, the media is selling hard on Covid rules relaxation (“END OF COVID RULES?” leading here). But it’s only a “courtesy pivot” from the WEF’s “Great Reset” agenda – which is JAM (just another monetization) the way we read A post-covid economy for health: from the great reset to build back differently | The BMJ).
This as the lefties at CNN attempt to throw reality onto the “bonfire of the sanity” with “Right-wing media offers fawning coverage of Canadian truckers as it encourages similar protest in US.” In our simple-minded analysis, the Big Establishment risk is that events large-enough to fuel a Great Reset are also on the verge of becoming what we model as the Global Digital Uprising (GDU).
Need evidence of that? How about Canadian truckers inspire anti-vaccine mandate protests in France. Seems here lately, ohmygod variant isn’t the only “communicable” media gummy out there!
CPI Data: Grease the Pivots!
Pivot 1: Breaking story at click time today, dropped by Labor:
“The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) increased 0.6 percent in January on a seasonally adjusted basis, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Over the last 12 months, the all items index increased 7.5 percent before seasonal adjustment.
Increases in the indexes for food, electricity, and shelter were the largest
contributors to the seasonally adjusted all items increase. The food index rose 0.9 percent in January following a 0.5-percent increase in December. The energy index also increased 0.9 percent over the month, with an increase in the electricity index being partially offset by declines in the gasoline index and the natural gas index.
The index for all items less food and energy rose 0.6 percent in January, the same increase as in December. This was the seventh time in the last 10 months it has increased at least 0.5 percent. Along with the index for shelter, the indexes for household furnishings and operations, used cars and trucks, medical care, and apparel were among many indexes that increased over the month.”
Drilldown:
After this baby was left abandoned on the steps of sanity (in a country where Fed policy specifically ignores food and energy!) we are left eyeing the Dow futures which dropped 86 while the marginally saner S&P was down 31.
Our local reality – the one measured by grocery bills – since it’s tax season and that pile is still accumulating – has been close to 12% for food and beverage. Still, booze increases have gone up less than, oh, prime rib roast (good luck finding it!). Even though cows are still eating the same fare.
Border Issues
Now we’re talking supply chain blow-up and uprisings, Bubba: U.S. truckers plan convoy, perhaps in L.A. for Super Bowl, DHS warns.
War (or Something Like It)
(Sung to the melody of this Kenny Rogers hit. Chorus at 1:18.)
SuperJoe – Man of Steal – make that Peace – is rolling east with open arms: Ukraine will receive Stinger anti-aircraft missiles within days, Lithuania PM says.
In the not-yet war zone overnight? Oh…that. Just a partial naval blockage (MFA protests against Russia’s partial blockade of Black and Azov seas, Kerch Strait ) – one man’s exercise is another man’s blockade as media warfare goes. On dry land, other potshots are being taken: Occupiers fire on Ukrainian positions near Vodiane. In Ukrainese (sic), “Occupiers” means “Russians.” Look it up.
And if this isn’t Spider Man silly-enough for you, fresh from her runaway success solving all the US problems with the (strangely still-open) Mexico Border, Sloppy Joe’s spotted a new bus to throw Kamala Harris under. “Kamala Harris to go to Munich conference to talk Ukraine.”
What could possibly go wrong?
Markets: Turn or Churn?
Before the CPI data – which was touted as being previewed as the highest level in 39-years – our Aggregate Index was looking like this:
After the release of the CPI, though, we can almost see the turn where 4 was high and we may already be in 5 down where 5 (1) was done, this may be 5 (ii) ending and this morning kicking off 5(iii) which could be a lollapalooza. Ask me next week.
If the skies were to part, birds begin to sing, and all, the black 4 on the right could turn into a fresh major wave UP. But it would have to best the high of the black 2 at mid chart.
Recalculating “Democracies”
Story with a read when you get a round tuit: These Are the World’s Most — and Least — Democratic Places (bloombergquint.com). Except the thing is, we gotta wonder how their analytical processes worked.
For example, the USA fell to #26 in the world while Australia came in at #9 most democratic. Which, in our way of thinking, stinks. You don’t lock down a country on the pretext of Covid and then get to claim you’re democratic. Ask brother Len down undah.
We’d sure like to see an analysis of U.S. states to see where freedom and liberty manage to hang on. Even California is making more sense than Oregon over the last 5-years. Uprising and idiocy in Portland, and all. Not to mention the drugged-out street culture in Socialist Seattle. We have kids who can’t take a grandchild to sporting events without tripping over panhandlers, needles, and poo.
On the Beat
A reporter’s “beat” is like the “news circuit” run to pick up the latest in news and gossip. The process is not unlike how you go shopping for your daily news dose.
Some of our better “beat checks?”
Study Finds: Usefully reporting that Super Bowl 2022 survey: Half of Americans want game moved to Saturday! Can anyone in their right mind really think Sunday is better? Reality is? The likely real politics behind the scenes, years ago, was that with a Saturday Super Bowl, churches would be even nearer empty on the following Sunday. Hunting and Fishing seasons run into this matter all the time. It’s also why states control alcohol sales on Sunday, supposedly. Used to be you couldn’t swill a Bloody Mary at the Sunday Brunch. (See? We’ve made some progress!)
Federal Reserve Papers: Not every day, but you’ll run into a lot of useful “on background” material most people will miss. Like The Fed – A Lawyer’s Perspective on U.S. Payment System Evolution and Money in the Digital Age (federalreserve.gov). This one is useful (around here) because the very role of money is changing. When you Wiki Money, it’s supposedly “Money is any item or verifiable record that is generally accepted as payment for goods and services and repayment of debts, such as taxes, in a particular country or socio-economic context.” Thing is that money is also social control, class warfare, and the means of supporting the Leach (Greedster/bankster) Class. Old money had “assured convertibility” when I was a kid. Today, a dollar is ONLY convertible into a handful of BTUs from burning the paper. An upcoming deeper think on Peoplenomics is somewhere ahead.
No Tech Magazine: OK, the article The Fireless Cooker that Feeds Low-tech Magazine (notechmagazine.com) may not grab you right away, but there’s a reason out here at Uretopia Ranch we keep a couple of cast iron implements (a wok, a griddle, and a Dutch oven). Fire up a meal of stew in cast iron, bring to a boil, and set it in the last of coals. Come back with a jug of wine in 4-hours, or better, and some of the best eating ever. Something about a whiff of smoke in the air really adds to the experience of food and beverage…
USDA News Releases: The second most important thing we do (physically, functionally) after a glass of water is eat. Not made a “big deal of” on mainstream media sites, but terribly important out here? Stories like United States cattle inventory down 2 percent (usda.gov). Where we learn, among other things:
- Of the 91.9 million head inventory, all cows and heifers that have calved totaled 39.5 million.
- There are 30.1 million beef cows in the United States as of Jan. 1, 2022, down 2% from last year.
- The number of milk cows in the United States decreased to 9.38 million.
- U.S. calf crop was estimated at 35.1 million head, down 1% from 2020.
- All cattle on feed were at 14.7 million head, up slightly from 2021.
We have adjusted our prime rib and veal piccata expectations, accordingly.
First Monday: Trying to put this into context for you: Kind of like an academic mirror of what the Internet thinks of itself, might be one way. Useful story cite: Spinning words as disguise: Shady services for ethical research? Because, yeah, a lot of researchers pull from (*already aggregating) sources like Reddit, and such. Which drags us into considering the self-delusional loops of research which result in pseudo-growth. Example: Shady researcher cites (already aggregated) Reddit. Then publishes a “research paper” which – in turn – gets picked up by Reddit… Now we have information loops which provide positive feedback. Resulting in much of what’s out on the net and being “echo chamber content.” Going to sources is always best.
US State Dept. News center: Where we spy stories like Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry’s Travel to France. All his hot air may be what has kept this an unusually warm winter in Ukraine. What exactly an envoy does has always been suspect, to us. Not to be confused with the L7 proxy and comms bus in tech, no we’re talking about loud-mouth politicians pretending to offer America’s view to people in other parts of the world who have been hoaxed into thinking it matters. Taxpayer free-loading and misrepresentation with a side of drivel.
Well, that’s just a little sampling of what a “news beat” looks like. Although America is replete with aggregating news sources right and left, the actions and research really matter deeply.
One more for the road, then:
Association of American Railroads: Every couple of weeks they publish what is, to our thinking, some of the most honest economic data available. The weekly Rail-Time Indicators. Which today goes like this:
“For this week, total U.S. weekly rail traffic was 458,152 carloads and intermodal units, down 7.6 percent compared with the same week last year.
Total carloads for the week ending February 5 were 218,286 carloads, down 3.6 percent compared with the same week in 2021, while U.S. weekly intermodal volume was 239,866 containers and trailers, down 11 percent compared to 2021.
Two of the 10 carload commodity groups posted an increase compared with the same week in 2021. They were coal, up 4,682 carloads, to 64,582; and chemicals, up 348 carloads, to 33,921. Commodity groups that posted decreases compared with the same week in 2021 included motor vehicles and parts, down 4,614 carloads, to 10,432; grain, down 2,569 carloads, to 23,517; and petroleum and petroleum products, down 2,315 carloads, to 9,148.
For the first five weeks of 2022, U.S. railroads reported cumulative volume of 1,120,551 carloads, down 3.1 percent from the same point last year; and 1,241,309 intermodal units, down 14 percent from last year. Total combined U.S. traffic for the first five weeks of 2022 was 2,361,860 carloads and intermodal units, a decrease of 9.1 percent compared to last year.”
Looks like a coming recession to us…or is China cutting us off?
There are times when Aggregators (Drudge, the networks, and big city rags) are useful. But they don’t make the news. They also tend towards mediocre in reporting. We will cite, and generally provide links. But when something is aggregated, it’s rehash. Which is why a personal news beat to check-back to sources, is always the cleanest information to consider.

This is a thread about the Canadian trucking protests – and what this guy outlines fits pretty well into what may happen, considering all it would involve is additional lying and propaganda from the current admin:
https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1491582230216548357.html
I am interested because I do a lot of Canadian business…
Oilman2,
First of all, apologies to our American neighbors. Forgive the author in the above link, Mr. Ezra Levant, for confusing the White House Press Secretary with the Vice-President of the United States.
Mr. Levant was and remains a well-known commentator “asset” for hire. At a professional nadir some half a dozen years ago following a couple of unresolved complaints with the law society, the gentleman temporarily relocated political shingle to his mother’s basement rec room.
Where tides are rising, Cpt. Levant is omnipresent. However, when the Titanic hits an iceberg, there aren’t enough lifeboats for everybody. His backers’ course of north-south separatist idealogy at the expense of east-west national unity is dangerous. I could imagine Trudeau Jr. is brainstorming ways forward including the footsteps of his father when questioned by the CBC in 1970 about invoking the War Measures Act: “Just watch me…”
Still, I DO like that “Vice President Jen Psaki (I think that’s her title)” thing.
It says to me “Kammy is so ineffective, people don’t even know she exists…”
_______
“She didn’t smear or slander or attack… For all her flaws VP Psaki can control her emotions…”
Psaki is about as cold as a person could be and still be breathing. I don’t like Potatochip because she has this arrogant hint of a smile which shows itself every time she tells a deliberate lie &or thinks she’s being clever with a canned statement.
If this writer didn’t hear her attack the truckers, that just means he didn’t hear her on any of the three days previous. She can control her face most of the time but has a really low tolerance for people who won’t accept her canned answer in lieu of the truth.
Does supply chain wreck being laid at the feet of the freedom truckers by WEF (roths) apparatchiks, foreshadow a crackin crackdown on anti vaxxers up north..?
Internment camps and brutal totalitarian lock downs ala AUS for Ure trucker troubles? The BIC (Bolshiviks in Canada) will rule with an iron fist, Canadians bout to be fisted again..
– where is Dominion Hq in Canada? how did turdoe really get enough votes to get elected?
and WTF is stepford bribem talking bout he will personally shut down Nord Stream 2 – in front of German Chancelor During press conference?!?! “Say what, Cracker?” as in whip cracker..
I would comment that stepford bribem has lost “IT”, problem being how can you lose something you Never had?
Inflation ?? wait till they find out there just aint anything left..Gold, Silver, BTC, Food, Oil.
No worries for Mr. Narrator though – Ure supply of FRN”S is Un-Limited, as in INFINITY..that sign post we passed a couple hundred miles back said MMT (Maniac Money Theory)hahahahahah “He Bub, can spare me a million or 2 US FRN’s ? I need to buy a happy meal for my kid.”
Do not buy dip in BTC, Ure not worthy..haters.
From the CNN article you mention this morning is a line that is defines the problem the lying left wing media is having with this trucker protest in Canada.
“a lot of people here streaming live online” and “documenting every moment on social media…”
We no longer have to buy the BS that MSM are selling here. Live streaming by “amateurs” lets us see a few things for ourselves:
– this is not a fringe group of white supremacists
– there was one Nazi flag among thousands and thousands of Canadian flags over 2 weeks
– not a single building has been attacked, burned or damaged in any way
– 99% of protestors including truckers continue to respect the police
If our groundhog PM continues to come out and pour gasoline on this “basket of deplorables,” we can expect at least 6 more weeks of winter.

Those KGB fellas are deft at twisting psych knives, whether this means something or no. In that vein, doubtless Vlad has more than one option, one plan, as his forces gather near Ukraine. Stay tuned.
CPI no surprise here. Data points simply reinforced what everyone see, experiences, on a daily basis. Here in the frozen north we will just put another log on the fire and dream of spring.
Stay warm, remain hopeful, Egor
When you read a common sales-finance contract (with confession-of-judgment note at bottom, die-cut tear-off(, you see “This indenture witnesseth…” We all know what an indenture is, historically.
When I was a high-scgool freshman, I succeeded in wrapping my head around the concepts of compound interest and capitalization of interest. I also began to hear an aunt, who was office manager at a scrapyard, complaining about the extra work her girls had to do when one of the scrapyard’s employees got his wages garnisheed. By the time I was eighteen, I had concluded that consumer credit is poison.
I think the Trump family is attempting to flip the social media game.
In less than two weeks TRUTH Social hits the ‘Net.
Yesterday Melania signed with the competitor, Parler.
Parler announces social media ‘special arrangement’ with Melania Trump
Parler announced on Wednesday that it is engaging in a social media “special arrangement” with former first lady Melania Trump where she will share “exclusive communications” on the social media network.
The others are on Instagram.
DJT will also succeed with this venture, and MSNBC and CNN will be the single biggest reasons why. They have been dying on the vine since Trump’s Twitter-ban. Because they both refuse to commit journalism, they have had virtually no broadcast material for 15 months. Hell, CNN’s been eating itself because aside from those awful, racist Canucks, no one has handed it a story it can bastardize, in months.
On the day Trump-Social goes online, every single employee at CNN and MSNBC will sign up, as well as their bed-buds at the alphabet media. With a wave of his hand, Trump will singlehandedly and without thanks save the entire profession of “yellow journalism…”
“most democratic” vs freedom and liberty
Perhaps you are making jumps in logic. Democracy means through the vote that 51% set the terms for the full 100%. I don’t know about Australia and what percentage of the people voted for leaders who support lock downs so these rules very well could be democratic though certainly against freedom and liberty. This is why is it so important to note we are not a democracy but a constitution republic and that individuals have innate human rights that cannot be taken away. Democracies also decay into authoritarianism as the many vote to take away resources and rights from the few. The analogy, is the democracy of 3 wolves and 2 sheep voting on whats for dinner.

Besides the US January 2022 annualized 7.5 % inflation rate with the ‘transient’ Federal Reserve response of money tightening and higher rates;(The ten year Notes touched 2% today, the highest in 2.5 years) the primary worrisome part of the global macroeconomy is the Chinese property debt bubble which is imploding and will destroy the average Chinese citizen’s basis for wealth.

Starting to wonder how much of the echo chamber becomes part of Clif’s web scraping and thus, becomes even more of an echo chamber.
Here’s my theory: recall how India was doing really really well with HCQ and then with Ivermectin? now, there’s a sudden relaxing of covid restrictions with everyone focused on Canada’s truckers?
Clif isn’t the only one scraping the web. Big tech owns the scraping and can do it in a way that ignores their fake comment bots. They can get into areas that Clif cannot…email, texts, private messages, etc. Now, consider the idea that when the powers that be notice a certain ‘area’ of interest growing too large to the point it could destroy their current fear message, that’s when they make their changes…India: let’s roll out the India/Delta variant (this didn’t spread naturally…it was seeded everywhere at once, didn’t spread from person to person outward from an origination point). Canada: let’s make it look like we’re rolling back covid restrictions (even though we’re really not – the passports are still enforce if a restaurant wants to use it), etc.
WE no longer control our destiny…instead, we destroy our destiny by using the internet and phones to communicate. Typing and texting are NOT our voices because when we voice something it’s typically a little more guarded and less raw/emotional than when we type directly from our brains…consider our voices as our filter…ain’t a filter anymore. Thus a potential reason for Clif noting that our emotional words are higher today than x years ago.
How to we stop big gov’t from using our typing/texting/raw thought to control the narrative?
1- stop using the internet and phones to communicate or comment
2- set up untraceable/unidentifiable bots that say 2x the opposite of our thoughts/emotions; including texts, phone calls, email, pm’s, etc
3- don’t ever share technology with gov’t or talk about the tech so it cannot be copied
4- destroy the circular reasoning abilities of the media (or just destroy the media)
5- find a better way of scraping so we’re not circular reasoning war and other things the powers that be want us repeating so we stop speaking their imaginations into our realities
6- insert your idea here:
Back in the day, I looked at the impact of a single bot run and it was near zero and off-set temporally.
What DOES cause the echo chambering effect is commercial report (fora), retweet (twits),and news reposting as done by MSN (*same story: https://www.msn.com/en-us/entertainment/gaming/microsoft-pledges-not-to-monopolize-call-of-duty-in-a-bid-to-get-its-69-billion-acquisition-through-regulators/ar-AATHlzI where Bisiness Insider was the actual source) and Yahoo (*sample story https://news.yahoo.com/rock-filled-dumpster-not-placed-163828078.html, where actual source is an AFP reporter ). These are impact multipliers and by watching them (WFA, or KPFA (keyphrase frequency analysis) you can spot the words “called in from the Obamanistas.”
It really underscores the kind of “foundational cracking” of information overload. As population drives humans to create new information niches, there is simply not enough good content. And, there are too many competitors when stories – as from government press releases – are too broadly spread. The result – in order for Yahoo to compete an d draw readers (MSN, too) they buy or curate content with the idea of using cheap content to build an audience they can then rebrand and resell as their own.
Of course, that’s crooked, but it gives belies a critical aspects of content curation and reposting: It amplifies, often incorrectly and with malice and intent – what the average person thinks, believes, and “in the moment” would be thinking about.
The Biblical “meek shall inherit the Earth” comes to pass as lower IQ, less motivated, and poor people are the highest procreators while Census data reveals smarter, majority, well-educated people are losing the Screw War.
The meek are already winning. If you can see it, look for picture of Yemen and a few barrios. Democrats know these people are easier marks (when comes to monetization and being economic chattel dependent on government dictates (and mandates)) which is why the border is open and voting has been marginalized.
Enjoy.
I find your reference to “the meek shall inherit the world” spot on as That is my view as well, but then I view the Bible different than most.
I think we are seeing what has been told to us a biblical record is more of a prophecy and many would know that IF they were not blinded by false teachings from certain teachers, if ya know what I mean. LOL
One thing to remember and I am sire you already thought of this, is the Low IQ have to have handlers that are NOT low IQ’d and so that is the question of WHO do they plan on keeping to help rule the meek?
Interesting…so how do we turn it on them? How do we mess it all up so they don’t have the advantage?
Just like the oil/gas prices…someone in the know can go in and take a long trade and then start a massive rumor of war and drive the price up thanks to the ‘repeaters’ out there that they own (the media). It’s not a free market, it’s a rape market…meaning…they’re sucking us dry by driving up prices on news they are making up. They win, the people lose. How do we take this back from the masters?
George,
You wrote, “The Biblical “meek shall inherit the Earth” comes to pass as lower IQ, less motivated, and poor people are the highest procreators while Census data reveals smarter, majority, well-educated people are losing the Screw War.
The meek are already winning. If you can see it, look for picture of Yemen and a few barrios.”
All this is true but the those you cite are not “the meek”. They are the ones conniving to profit from getting something they have not earned. Be that a meal, or even an entire country. That is not meek.
I was thinking that if the meek shall inherit the earth, it will be after people have finished themselves off. Then the meek will inherit the earth. And what is more ‘meek’ than biology? Seems to me the meek will all be plants. They will take over and cover up all of our UN-MEEK human mistakes and make all our efforts and anger and manipulations of nature just erode back to a natural state. That’s “meek”. Nature doesn’t need us.
That is a bothersomely valid point. Insects and plants would be meek…
…And this is why, when there’s a story of import, I always trace it back to its source. On any widely-covered story in U.S. media, there are typically two writeups, and occasionally three. These 2-3 writeups will be used, verbatim, by every single news outlet in the U.S. and Canada. A single article can yield 80,000 hits, even before the bloggers and aggregators get ahold of the story and the social media pimps post or tweet it. It can yield many millions, after.
As an aside, one of the hackers (actually a cracker) I followed when I was doing the computer thing was a fellow whose specialty in the ’80s and ’90s was cracking commercial software and unlocking shareware, to demonstrate the weaknesses in the coders’ security. (Like Steve Gibson, he took a real pleasure in taking Microsoft products apart and pointing out the glaring security holes…)
In real life he was a kollege perfessor at some Urepeein University or other. However, by the time I stumbled across him he’d quit hacking software, to take on something much more challenging — trying to “hack life,” i.e. crack the PTB and the myriad ways they influence society — everything from the “path” in which a store is laid out (to dictate that people stream past a strategic placement of certain items at certain times, to maximize impulse-buying), to keywords which show up overnight in politickspeak and go from “never used” to “used by everybody” within a matter of hours.
FWIW I’ve walked “backwards” through stores now for over 25 years. The practice has probably saved me a ton of money. If’fn y’all try this, be prepared to “feel uncomfortable” at first. The ideological descendants of Bernays have gotten really, really good, over the past 100 years…
Design Patterns… Fascinating Design Patterns…. I see an annealing application is needed to determine the most probable outcome[s].

I’m shorting oil if/when it hits $90.488 and, if that happens, will predict a short term peace treaty between Russia and Ukraine. Just following the charts…doesn’t mean they’re correct or I’m correct. But it is fun.
In oil short at $90.465; just missed .488. If I’m wrong and price goes through the current high of Feb 4 at 91.729 then I will close and reverse just above that high. (Not all charts look the same…so pardon me if you’re pricing isn’t the same. The concept is the same though.)
Is it time for the US to stop pumping self-fulfilling prophecy of war between Ukraine and Russia now?
Cb U using strictly TA for Ure trades ? Oil ticked thru 91.729 already today..wondering about investment thesis for shorting Oil. I find it counter-intuitive, but I am a wild eyed (calculated risk) gambler, and want to understand the Bear thesis for Oil. Thanks
Nope. The Administration needs a really big diversion, so people will forget about their really big FUBAR, 15 months ago…

interesting to note this morning Mr Ure. the only cleveland browns fans i have ever seen in seattle or anywhere else, came up to me this morning and called me a hero, a saint, a shining example of a Angel in the world. then he shouted to everyone else at the bus area outside my office, i was the only true friend this world has ever had. hmmmmmm…. i spose…… Go Browns!

oh, a google search for the Cleveland Browns foot-ball record, came back at seven million, seven hundred and seventy thousand results in 0.66 seconds…. maybe that fella is on to something. 7,770,000 in less than a second. hmmmmmm. THE DUDE is certainly, saying something, and im sure, as always and in all ways, more will be revealed.
all things being relative…….
Browns’ fans embrace a “noble Lost Cause” loser mentality. Sort of like die-hard Southerners but without a memorable flag or Dodge Chargers.
Go Bengals! It’s the Year of the Tiger.
oh, what a peculiar morning. i just missed a phone call from san antonio county in texas… 210 area code. you? didnt come up as George on my phone. but i got the phone call, (i declined it) at the time of that last post. wonder who from texas is calling me at the time of the last post? im sure if it is important, they will call back.
Have a fun and exciting weekend, i know i will.
That was the car warranty guys, I would wager.
Ahhhh that makes sense. m Watching this deal go down on cryptos, rn. What’s his face, that etherium fella vito or some shit like thar is about to burn half those Mars fellas tokens he was given. So I’m delighted. Perfect day to on vacation. Faith potatoes on valentines day. Perfect!
Hahahaha
I’m going to do you a solid n___ . For your reply. I’m probably give you the opertunity of a life time. First you are completely responsible for any fucking decisions you make financially.
Let me ask you something. You ever look at a power button in a computer.
Look here:
https://www.teepublic.com/pin/4594171-power-button-green-symbol
What makes someone powerful in this world. MONEY. Money makes a fella like Elon, send out a tweet about bitcoin and it changes the entire market in a few hours. Just one tweet and tesla stock, bitcoin etc etc follow. The entire market does because Money = Power.
Now i want you to remember 2 things. What was the name of my old website. That is clue number 3. Clue number 4, that opens the door, in almost 99% of old movies about the future. Everything from back the future to the Aliens series, to Total recall, to Blade Runnner to The fifth element. Almost every fucking movie refers to money as what in the future?
“Credits”
So, I present door number 4’s the futuuuureee’s door handle.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/capital.com/amp/civic-coin-cvc-price-prediction
You know what they ask you for on the back of a ‘”credit’ card.
You see how that symbol is almost identical to the power symbol. You see how ‘credits’ are the term for money in the future.
I’ve never told anyone what is my pick for the one to replace all the world’s currencies. I just told you. And I been thinking about it, since bitcoin was $50. Because I know. Bitcoin is dial up AOL, compared to 5G on my phone.
So, there ya go.
That is my pick. Maybe I’m right? Maybe I’m wrong. Out of all the cryptos out there. It fits what every movie that was put out about the future and what Money was called in it. It’s almost the same exact symbol as the power symbol. And it is the secret number, that tyey ask you for, on every fucking card from maceys to captial one to chase visa to the bank of Japan. It’s on every debit card, every credit card on the entire planet.
Me thinks that is the one. You do as you like. We can talk about it in 5 years. If ya like and see if im right on the money.
Get it! Don’t get it. None of my business what you think or do. You are all gown ass men and women. Responsible for your own pocket book. Which I’m sure has that number in it.
I got mine. I got alot of them. It’s the one. I sure of that. After 10 years of study. I’m sure of it.
Have a good day.
It looks just like someone stuck a key in the power button and turned it into money.
Yes sir. I been learning the crypto currency language for over 10 years. Studing it. Watching it move. Looking at every single one of them. And only one looks like Power. And it’s symbol is found in every bank and credit company in the world. Bitcoin isn’t found already in every bank in the world. that token is. It’s already there. Its been there a long long time. Hidden in plane site. Everyone knows to hold their CVC number close to their chest and not give it out. Just like money. Lol
I’m on vacation. Do as ya like. I got mine and I will get more. A whole lot more. I don’t care if ya believe me or not. Too many juxtapositions to ignore that.
Over 100 juxtapositions if you really think about it. And I have.
Even George is going to think about that.
Why just 3 days ago I saw 5 green Civic’s go by me in a row. Even my daughter said. Wow 5 of the same green cars drove by us. Then we came out the store. There was a green Civic Parked next to me. One on each side and she says. What up with those green Civics today Dad. They are every where. The store, the freeway, the mall, at Starbucks we saw two in front of us, now there is two parked next to us! we been seeing them all day everywhere. All over. Seems like everyone has one and laughed. I never noticed them before. And started laughing.
I laughed and said, well im sure THE DUDE is telling us something and laughed.
So we will see, they are at the mall, the store, at Starbucks, well everywhere. In the future.
I tend to try to reserve judgement on faith and money. I suppose crypto totems left as crypto picks by a trans-temporal make as much sense as any other crypto endorsement or tips I have heard to date. On the other hand, I recall one gent saying his Guide had indicated that cryptos were put here to teach greedy hairless apes a lesson on social responsibility.
I will do you the courtesy of giving the CVC a read this weekend. Over at Z3 News , there is a steady diet of the faithful with crypto visionary dreams. Chris Harris dreams of ETN. I don’t think that US citizens can buy it legally in the US. That is true of most of the most volatile cryptos.
correction, Austin County… that is the 210 area code. my early post was based on my memory of where each area code is from. i was off by a few miles on that one. austin county. verified that from google. double check. always a good idea.
perhaps it is the farmers Daughter calling for G2…………… lets hope
They’re probably calling about your car’s warranty expiring, and man do they have a deal for you!!!

“What could possibly go wrong?”
Kammy has to know that she’s being tossed under the bus.. heck if an old dingbat can see it you’d assume that someone with an edjimication would…
But now consider this.. she see’s the problems falling apart.. the what if there is a jihad caliphate and people start to be massacred in th e USA.. in other countries that were stupid.. crime, abuse, pedophilia rape and murder have gone through the roof..
And if we go to war it would be laid at her feet.. So… what if she resigned..
And just an example we seen The woman we shall not mention her name become VP.
They boot Brandon out and then name nancy as vp..
Would that be worse
Um, booting the Kamel also and ending up w Pukelosi? It doesn’t matter, Zer0’bama needs a patsy so 0’Bidet will stay.
This is NO LONGER about winning elections, this is now about causing things to get so bad that it results in a civil war within the US – divide and conquer. This is the last step in every Color Revolution under cover of the CIA/elites before taking over a country for “democracy’s sake” when, in reality, it’s for the sake of control, power, $. Oh, wait, it was okay when it was against other countries. Anyone notice the countries we warred with didn’t have central banks, but now they all do?
My oil short has moved down nicely so far. I sent the charts to Ure. If I think about it I’ll keep trying to call the trades in the room before I take them…including the entry price. Sometimes there’s no time to do this, but it’s fun.
“Um, booting the Kamel also and ending up w Pukelosi? It doesn’t matter, Zer0’bama needs a patsy so 0’Bidet will stay.”
I totally could see Kammy resigning her position..
Personally I would if it was me in her position. she’s on top.. has a respected past, position and had a really prosperous life…
Resigning from office is a critical ethical decision for individuals. Resignation also remains one of the basic moral resources for individuals of integrity. Where sitting there at the side while being tossed under the bus to take the blame for all the misery that may be coming would go down in history as a major fail of the First Black woman VP in history. Then the videos of her Supporting BLM and Antifa and the agenda of defunding the police protection of the nations most vulnerable people that live in conditions she has been fortunate enough to not have experienced…
https://youtu.be/-viWdBhkCv0
https://youtu.be/NTg1ynIPGls
.Now there is the increase of Crime in our neediest areas crime is up what a hundred percent and higher in some of the most dangerous areas of our inner cities leaving our weakest and poorest as victims of horrific crimes.
It is one thing to live in a upper crust area even though her parents marched showing their personal positions and convictions.. They were able to get a good education and hold really nice jobs that made them fortunate and affluent in position.. many from the ghetto won’t. Their lives is just surviving one day at a time..They spent their lives living in a middle class or affluent area where you are not subjected to the horrors of living in dire poverty and the evils that lurk in the dark shadows of the Ghetto.. Black or White life is hell there opportunities come and go but if you don’t have any way to take advantage of them it doesn’t make a difference. many die from violence and those that survive the ghetto many end up living their lives in poverty or homeless on the streets …. Her parents were able to have good positions and live in a decent area where crime was not as rampant get a good education and having good working conditions children that could go to the store without fear of being shot or raped. She was fortunate enough to be able to get a higher education and succeed …. its quite different to live in the ghetto where your lives depend on the protection of the police from the criminal elements around that control those area’s…
on top of all of that..There are the hundreds of thousands of illegals that have been smuggled over the border from countries where islamic radicals have come right out and said that was exactly how they would show America the misery that we have rained down on them in the past through a caliphate.. and possibly worse.. https://www.foxnews.com/media/watters-biden-administration-mexican-cartels. I would resign in a heartbeat….I believe that it would be better to go out because of your ethical viewpoint on the position of the actions and policies of the administration.. rather than being in the line for blame towards the worst nightmarish events unfolding on the USA and the world in the history of the country and mankind… if they unfold hyper inflation and a depression so bad that it makes the weimer depression look like a day at disney world or potential Nuclear War and the destruction of human existence. Phew now that is some really heavy thinking there……..
At that point I could see OLE HIL getting in as VP then because of cognitive issues or health issues.. JB leaves office or is removed because of their past business practices and nancy taking the place as VP.. (that is if she can get by the scandal of suspected insider trading that has been suggested for her and her hubby.https://nypost.com/2022/01/18/its-not-just-nancy-pelosi-plenty-of-government-insiders-are-trading-stocks-at-our-expense/..) seeing Biden on TV you can tell that all the stress is taking a serious toll on his health…. Even Jimmy Carter that was tossed under the bus by congress has a better rating.. but then he does have morals and a good set of ethics as his baseline…I believe that it was way different being a member at the feed trough of the beltway where there were no consequences on their business activities .. no one cared and it all was untouchable .. no real work hours and everyone begging to get his support on things they wanted done by throwing money and gifts their way..
everything is for sale and the doors to the capital are open for business… they work less in a year than a part time dish washer does for one month.. ..
now he is the top of the pile and its obvious he doesn’t have a clue about anything at all. I personally believe that It was the power that he would yield that was the drug for him. for the vast majority of his life he didn’t have anyone question his ethics or motives no real work hours .. didn’t have to punch a time clock didn’t even have to read the crap they should have read..
Now that he is in the limelight and all of it has come out in an abandoned laptop hard drive to be viewed by everyone … at this juncture of time I seriously wonder if he could even win over his own state in a bid for congress anymore a nice photo of a concerned father doesn’t cut it…… Then there are all the allegations of family corruption still flowing around and even though they have covered over a lot of the circumstantial evidence other countries are still showing it.. they did put the kid on ice that was a nightmare all by itself. having it shoved in the faces of the citizens of the USA with family values daily about his activities and family business deals….
Once removed from office the doors would be open and Hill would get the position of pres.. and then could name nancy as second.. a truly nightmarish scenario in my perspective….
“The likely real politics behind the scenes, years ago,”
Years ago before deregulation..Sundays were the day of rest.. the day was devoted to religion and family…
Today it’s much worse many not only work Sundays but a part time job as well..
Stop is at $91.766…which is $1.30 stop loss. Opened the short trade at $90.465. (Ure has proof of this…i sent him the charts with the trade record.) Closed half just now at $88.43 for a 1.56% profit and now a risk free trade on the other half of the trade. My risk management requires that I risk 2% when I open the trade and close half of the trade, 1% of the risk, when price hits the first barrier/speed bump past the 1% return area. That was at the 15 min chart demand box, which happens to also be the 4 hour 50rsi area. I’ll leave the rest of the trade on and close half of the remaining size at the $86.75 Day chart demand area and the rest of it will target the $72 Weekly chart demand area.
So, will news of a temporary peace come out for Russia/Ukraine/NATO/EU???
I’m a technical/chart reading trader, but frequently there are
Sorry, hit send accidently.
I’m a technical/chart reading trader, but frequently there are news events after the trade happens…funny how technicals and news/fundamentals coincide at the right times.
You are not trading USO I assume?
Are your trades futures, or what?
Right, futures.
It set up to go back long so I abandoned the short trade.
Comrades,
One piece of good news I read from a few weeks back was an anecdotal story saying that Starlink was working in Yemen.
“Supply chain wreck” – she’ll be coming around the mountain? The rail numbers quoted in today’s ‘Urban are mostly worse than a year ago when things were arguably more locked down as seen in the then-rail stats of “A Couple of Real Adventure Stories”, 2/12/21. Advance trailers included “Train Wreck Thursday”, 2/4/21 as well as “Replay Complete…another truckload of pseudo-drama”, 2/6/21.
Folks, the original Oracle of Omaha driven Helter Skelter Special seems to have morphed into a psycho-driven version of Steinbeck’s swansong American travelogue – “Travels with Charlie”. ‘Dem Feds be noxing along to a slowing rail beat from their safe injection site.
“Starlink” lost about 40 satellites due to “spaceweather”. Musk is in mourning.

Wondering how the US could possibly have a Trucker Convoy Protests, when there’s such an extreme trucker shortage in the US.
10,000 trucks showing up would really wreck the narrative.
There are nearly 11mln CDL-holders currently licensed in CONUS.
We don’t have a trucker shortage because there’s an actual shortage.
We have one because several million people have gotten tired of the bullshit and walked away — they’ve stopped playing the OTR game and they’re not coming back until and unless several layers of bureaucracy and a whole bunch of tape (mostly, but not limited to “red”) go away.
Brother Len here george. Australia democratic? Ahhhhhaaaaaaaa. 8 little dictators in 1 big dictatorship run by the ayatollah prime minister . We are gone . As I said I pray the greatest country ever the one established by the founding fathers rises up to remove this evil from the world. But down under is going more down every day

I can guarandamtee he’s not the only one…

“For this week, total U.S. weekly rail traffic was 458,152 carloads and intermodal units, down 7.6 percent compared with the same week last year.”
I’ll bet if it were compared to two years ago, the intermodal traffic would be down a LOT more…
EV’s are so versatile! You’ll soon be able to use them as a back up source to prop up the electrical grid in times of peak demand in the UK (coming to a blue state near you). This is some good s**t. “Honey I’m sleeping at the office again cuz my car’s been drained”.

“Supply Chain Wreck”
I placed an order for my free government COVID tests and got a bag of government crack pipes.
Comrades,
Hearty consanguine anniversary greetings this day since 1840 to the former princess Alexandrina, more commonly known as Queen Victoria, and her Prince Charming. Thereupon it then became decent to evict her controlling mother from Buckingham Palace who landed at Frogmore Cottage. Yes, the humble abode so recently not loved by the current Prince Harry and spouse.
Scarcely 20 months following the fairytale wedding, Hotel Bayerischer Hof opened its doors in Munich to Bavarian nobility repurposed in past decades as home to the perennial Munich peace talks. Absent Mr. Putin and the Russian delegation, one is left to wonder who will be given keys to sleep between the sheets in the sole, newly constructed garden penthouse suite. We fervently hope there can be a peaceful outcome to negotiations and no pillow fights spill into the public arena.

The March to Freedom Convoy to D.C. 2022
Starting March 1st 2022
Please plan ahead and prepare your food pantries, water, gas and any other needs. These truckers are going to be tied up and want you to be prepared. These truckers are planning to go across the country on March 1st 2022 to peacefully fight for our freedom, giving you time to prepare your food, water and fuel sources. They do not want you to think they are attacking the people. These great truckers are fighting for our freedom and health, standing the ground on the front lines for us! They need our full help and cooperation. If you can join, remember to keep it peaceful as they will make us the enemy!?? Warning the shelves maybe empty for some time–think local, buy local and grow local! Thank you to all truckers, whether you are leading in the convoy or keeping the needs of the people stocked!!!!! Bring it home truckers, “FREEDOM” their biggest load!!!
{/QUOTE}
There shouldn’t be anyone on George’s sites who doesn’t recognize the importance of having and maintaining a stocked pantry.
Y’all need to understand, this IS going to happen in some form or another, and when it does, it is likely everything you buy in a store or online, from food to petrol, to Andy’s cigarettes, will cease to exist for several months. There won’t be Amazon or Wal-Mart deliveries, because their warehouses won’t have, or be able to get stock.
_____
What I suspect, is that Biden will have DHS, in some way, try to shut down the convoy before it even gets close to D.C. Creepy Joe is as much an effete bully as Turdough and perhaps even more of a megalomaniac, but where Justin is dealing with comparatively few truckers, CONUS has about 700k long-haul 18-wheelers and 4x that many short haulers.
If Biden leaves the truckers alone, there’ll be a few thousand and they will clog the streets of D.C. for a while. If he doesn’t, he will piss the truckers off and they will ALL — both the ones driving to Washington and the ones restocking your local warehouses — park their rigs and walk away. Truckers are an interesting breed. They’re like “Easy Rider” motorcyclists or Southern hillfolk. They’re fiercely independent and don’t take to being pushed around. When someone does, they push back — hard. When the push is unjust, they will push back until they kick butt or die.
Because I don’t believe Biden will leave the truckers alone, when the convoy gets shut down, 3.5 million truckers will park their rigs and the trains will quickly follow suit, as it becomes impossible to offload intermodal freight. The Beltway princes and princesses have no idea how real people think.
Be aware — buy stuff NOW…
BTW, the lorry protests have begun in France, Australia, and New Zealand, joining the one in The Netherlands which began the other day. Len may be going to see freedom again, before we do…
The aware observer is eventually going to find out which motivates John Q Public faster and scares him more: A jackbooted thug or an empty belly…
FWIW I notice the Canucks are thanking Turdhead today, because he has united factions in Canada which most Canadians thought could never see the same side of any discussion.
Europe and Russia:
WHAT are the risks that Russia just goes for ALL the marbles all at once?
Launch an attack on the Airfields in Poland, the Baltic Republics, Bulgaria, and Romania simultaneously with an attack on Poland through the gap, leaving Ukraine for later?
“IF” Russia could keep air superiority, based upon it’s early destruction of NATO air power close to it, Russia could probably overrun Poland in 5 to 7 days and then Ukraine would just be a mopping up action.
Not sure what they would then do about Bulgaria and Romania … but their deal with them may be their withdrawal from NATO and becoming neutral states, much like Finland was during the Cold War, and they could then stay independent.
After a loss of Poland that MIGHT be an enticing deal for Bulgaria and Romania to accept.
(as for Germany it has virtually no real military left [only 500 tanks now] and other than it’s air force would be unable to put up much of a fight so forget NATO, I don’t think they want a REAL WAR on their soil again. Memories of the destruction in WW 2 are still part of their collective consciousness)
I put the odds of this LOW, but the possibility DOES exist.
“WHAT are the risks that Russia just goes for ALL the marbles all at once?
Launch an attack on the Airfields in Poland, the Baltic Republics, Bulgaria, and Romania simultaneously with an attack on Poland through the gap, leaving Ukraine for later?”
Oh another firm believer that we are being set up for the poison pawn trap….
You must have put the pins in the map on the countries that sided with Russia and China..
BUT YOU FORGOT…to add the USA.. while the Cat’s away the mice will play.. sent our national guard to other parts our navy split but leaves the USA totally open and vulnerable.. our fighting forces all to guard a small country that some oil barron Covets the oil and have us shut down nord stream because he wants more profit and control over the people of europe.. it leaves the USA totally open and vulnerable.. then to have smuggled in hundreds of thousands or millions of military aged illegals .. If.. it escalates to the level of full blown out war.. Putin and Xi know that if left as a regional war their countries and their people are the ones that will suffer and both have come right out and said.. IF the USA really pushes it that far they will retaliate .. What would you do If you were in their shoes..
what is it the sun tzu said..
I have told my grand kids.. if you have bullies beating on you to take your money or to just push you around.. Go for the leader the head of the snake.. even if you get your butt kicked.. the leader will think twice.. because what if you had won.. his strength is with those that follow his lead.. they won’t bully you again.. Putin and Xi know that The USA built bunkers for the elite.. but didn’t take into account the people.. just because of the COG.. but what if the leaders emerge only to find that they no longer have a group to lead..
“Revelation 6:15-17
New International Reader’s Version
15 Everyone hid in caves and among the rocks of the mountains. This included the kings of the earth, the princes and the generals. It included rich people and powerful people. It also included everyone else, both slaves and people who were free. 16 They called out to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us! ”
China has us with industry.. they have the whole supply chain..Putin said yesterday most of europe will have to be back to wood stoves.. he is going to shut down EU of heating gas because of the threats to blow it up from who made those threats again… How many still have wood stoves..
Consider.. The USA… WHAT IF…. our gas lines were shut down..or lets say a couple of dams blown that produce power.. Our grid goes down..
The USA has sat in a position of safety from conflicts for almost two hundred years.. the only war this country has seen is that from within.. WE DONT know the strife and struggles of war because it has never affected us. We may think we do.. it is like my working healthcare for so many years.. I was empathetic of other peoples pain.. BUT when it hit me.. I realized that I didn’t have a clue what they were going through not one..Why they become addicted to pain medications etc.. ..
It is like the people living homeless they live the struggles daily just to survive..we wouldn’t make it.. We don’t know how to survive without our luxuries..

Great Falls group collecting supplies for DC-bound truckers rallying against COVID mandates
A group in Great Falls is collecting supplies for truckers who are preparing to rally against COVID vaccine mandates.
Starting March 1st, some truckers plan to drive from the West Coast to a rally in Washington, DC. At this point, there is no word on how large the proposed convoy will be.
The rally comes on the heels of a similar rally in Canada that has affected traffic at the Alberta-Montana border.

Going Global: French Freedom Convoy Begins, Already Banned From Paris By Police
In the wake of Canada’s Freedom Convoy vaccine mandate protests, protesters in France are beginning to form a similar convoy although authorities in Paris have already said they would not be allowed to enter the city. “Dozens of trucks and vehicles left southern France on Wednesday and headed for Paris as part of a convoy opposing the country’s vaccination pass program… The protesters have adopted the name “Convoi de la Liberté,” and include those in cars and on motorcycles. On Thursday and Friday, other convoys are expected to depart as well from other parts of France… Freedom Convoy-like protests have also begun in Australia and New Zealand.

“Starting March 1st, some truckers plan to drive from the West Coast to a rally in Washington, DC. At this point, there is no word on how large the proposed convoy will be.
The rally comes on the heels of a similar rally in Canada that has affected traffic at the Alberta-Montana border.”
At least they are going to Rally…
I have known drivers that the boss kept after them over som pitty crap and they said heck.. enough.. and just parked the truck and walked away..
Ray – I think it was you that recommended a different brand of vitamin a couple of weeks ago. I did a little experiment and went back into the store room and dug out a bottle of the Equate brand “Complete Multivitamins” as opposed to the “C. M. Adults 50+” and the former do NOT put me to sleep like the 50+ do. They give me the energy that I’m looking for so SOMETHING is going on with the 50+ formulation. I guess they want us ol’ farts to slow down and stay down. It does say it has Lutein and Lycopene in the 50+ type that isn’t listed in the under 50 vitamins. Lutein seems to work for the eyes and, interestingly, Lycopene seems to have a side-effect of slowing blood clotting which would be good for people getting The Jab (not me!). Which or whatever, there doesn’t seem to be anything listed in the 50+ that puts you to sleep like a sledge hammer.
Also I’ve noticed that it’s pretty danged difficult to find Iron in any “gummy” multivitamin for any age now days so you have to buy it separately. The adult m. v. I talked about above does, though. I started looking for it because a grandkid who has “come of age” needs it for her monthly routine and hasn’t developed the ability to swallow large pills just yet. It was always there in the list on the side of the bottles when I was a kid but I was choking down the big ‘ol’ Theragan-M horse pills when I was about her age. (Don’t ever take those on an empty stomach!) Wonder when it was they dropped iron from the mix?
Iron doesn’t play nice-nice with a number of vitamins and other minerals.
For any supplement with iron to work as we think it should, the ferrous mineral has to be time-release encapsulated on a slow-decay schedule, and individually packed in each pill or capsule. This makes production both slow and breathtakingly expensive, so reputable companies have stopped including iron with most of their other supplement formulations.
Iron should be taken 4-6 hours after one’s morning stack, for best effect. It’ll still turn your poo black, but it’ll let your other supplementation do their jobs without interference.
There’s a bunch of stuff that can make you sleepy. The biggies are tryptophan and melatonin and the B-vitamin ornithine, but kava, ginger, and valerian roots, either as supplements or teas, and some types of ginseng can knock you on yer ass too. Also, just about anything which cuts your oxygen or blood-sugar can sleepify you, as well.
Swallowing pills is easy. Everybody teaches it the wrong way. You tilt your head back and let the pill run down your throat, right? Wrong! Do you tilt your head back to swallow, when you’re eating? The daintiest hunk of cow a person will swallow is 4x as big as the largest “horse-pill” you’ll get from any pharmacy. Folks don’t have a problem swallowing pills, they’ve been taught wrong, then the first time a pill catches, the sensation is so uncomfortable, they blame it on the pill, instead of the way they tried to take the pill, and suddenly, you have a reinforced bad experience and a lifelong aversion. Insert pill, take sip or save up a little saliva, tilt head back to coat & lube the pill, then level your head before you swallow the dang thing.
I don’t know that I “recommended” it, but the multivitamin I take is the one George mentioned years ago that he was taking:
Country Life MAX for Men (Iron free.)
Country Life product no: 8136
( https://www.countrylifevitamins.com/product/max-for-men )
It is not an “over 50” pill, but a genderized multivitamin. It stabilizes testosterone, not progesterone…
It has an amazing vitamin & mineral profile. “Daily dosage” is two pills. I take one, because I also take a number of targeted nutrients (I don’t “megadose,” except Vitamin-C when I’m sick.) The government’s “RDA” is a bad joke. It used to be called the “MDR” or “minimum daily requirement” (later, MDA, for minimum daily ADULT [requirement].) The RDA, MDR, MDA, or whatever, is the minimum of volatile nutrients an average person must ingest every day to not suffer from an acute vitamin deficiency condition (like scurvy or jaundice.) NOBODY is “average,” and that should be “enuff said…”
Thanks Ray!
“That is a bothersomely valid point. Insects and plants would be meek…”
There’s nothing meek about cockroaches and Bahia grass. Both of them are about as in-your-face as anything can be, and they’ll both survive the apocalypse.
