Ever see the “cutsie” office sign? “The harder I work, the behinder I get…”? This morning we look at an increasing intractable problem: How far can this trend of lessening human productivity go before the whole global economic system blows up?
In a sense, Karl Marx was onto something when he claimed that everyone (proletariat plus workers) should own the “means of production.” Which was endorsed not too many years back as employee-owned companies rose in America.
Yet now, in addition to too much computer horsepower of our phones – resulting in egregious wastes like time on social media – and the resultant bot storms there – amplifying and feeding back into the waste loop – we see another problem coming along to hit up upside society: Massive A.I. with robotics.
This morning, we throw in with Ned Ludd a bit. And propose some novel solutions that the superficial monetizers of things like climate, race, and gender might want to think a little deeper on: As the solutions to many of society’s ills not a need for “more tech and machines?” Or is a more aggressively pro-human tax regimen the right medicine for what ails Mother Earth?
After a serving or three of headlines and our mid-week ChartPack. All grist for hungry minds.

It’s really happening. Gov. Abbott is sending the illegals to D.C. – and there’s hugs all around. How sweeeeeet.

Boy when congress decides to go back to DC after their Easter Vacation.. Won’t they be shocked..
Don’t know about that. There were only a couple dozen on the bus. They should have packed it and several others like a Coyote does a stolen SUV on its way out of Del Rio, crashed through the security gate of the Capitol and ran like a SOB when they came to a stop. THAT would be the surprise they need in D.C. – and then repeat the event at Pelosi’s, Bribem’s, Schumer’s and any number of other Dim and RINO mansions out there.
“There were only a couple dozen on the bus.”
LOL LOL couple of dozen wouldn’t be anything.. there are that many indigents on the mirror pond daily the way it is LOL… you would have to drop off the whole eighteen thousand a day to make it a show.. like sending a letter to congress.. if you send a hundred nothing they toss out that many already.. but now if you sent ten thousand letters per congressman that there my friend is NEWS… shut that city down .. then do it till they make a decision yes or no but decide one way or another don’t just pass a gas bubble and leave the room kind of joke either.. .. doesn’t matter who is giving them money or where they are doing the macarena dance.

.and It would create thousands of jobs just to pitch and toss..
“There were only a couple dozen on the bus.”
That’s a drop in the bucket. I visited one of the Border Patrol field stations (tents located under an international bridge) back in December. That station alone had caught a couple of dozen by midnight.
I always heard it was “The hurrier I work, the behinder I get.” That served two functions. Don’t hurry your work, and avoid having to do it again. One of my favorites is, “If you don’t have time to do it right, when will you have time to do it over?”
Being from the PNW this may explain the local geopolitical topology of Seattle and Portland…. ;-)
“If you don’t have time to do it right, when will you have time to do it over?”
Hmm sounds familiar.. no mater how many times I measure it its still cut to short.. or measure once cut twice… LOL…its functional but doesn’t look store bought.. LOL
“…Go for a full on STRATEGIC WIN with the very first salvo of arms.”
A Tae Kwon Do Master once told me, the main goal of Tae Kwon Do is to deliver “one punch, one kick, and the fight is over.”
One of Putin’s black belts is in Tae Kwon Do.
Good luck with pulling his belts in Tae Kwon Do and Judo. Maybe the West thinks that will work.
In Tae Kwon Do, the right hand cupped in the left hand while at attention signifies peace over war. It is a defensive art, except in an ageed-to match. Apparently, Vlad was too busy plucking chest hairs to pay attention to this.
Tae Kwon Do was actually developed when the weapons were taken away.

Please accept my apologies. I have only now stumbled upon this discovery through the favourable machinations of the universe. Yes, Axiom’s currently underway Ax-1 private spaceflight mission to the ISS has a NFT marketplace. The mission commander and mission specialists will be minting pieces in space from their personal experiences and with inspirational messages. Exclusive work drops are planned from orbit into the community to help foster interest in exploring life beyond planet Earth. They even accept cryptocurrency for those so inclined. Talk about generating chatter in the digital realms. Why wait until summer for the Perseid meteor showers?!
Yes, some NFT like a digital certificate of authenticity attached to a real tangible object say, a Patek Phillipe will have value accompanied by the actual asset. The rest lay somewhere in the range of Tulips to digital equivalency of an ETF.

Starting at 12:40 for Monkey’s SitRep today:
Monkey has some bad news on the supply line angle of things regarding Shanghai. As he explains it the number of anchored ships waiting to be loaded and unloaded there is causing a shutdown all the way back to the production lines and the lines that supply that phase of what comes to our shelves around the World. The longer it is shut down the longer it takes to start it all back up again and right now it appears that this will be hitting around August – October and if things get sticky enough social unrest could disrupt or even postpone the Fall elections. See the connection there? I’ve worried that the elections might be disrupted this Fall and I would NOT put it past any of the D.C. NWO denizens to try and perpetrate this – and this is only one aspect of what they’re doing around the World. We also have a food shortage in the pipeline that will only add to this.
Also starting at 20:15 Monkey’s connect-the-dots intel tells him that the Biden regime is flying illegals in to take the $15/hr jobs in the Amazon warehouses that Americans (REAL Americans) won’t take. Amazon has a bad turnover rate on it employees and can’t keep people for any length of time. These illegals get flown in for the jobs, stay 4 to a hotel room, probably have a path to citizenship which means they’ll also be eligible for a military draft if it comes to that and, surprise, surprise, eligible to vote. This is all part of the fundamental changing of our society that Obama wanted for the U.S.
Buckle up people. If you aren’t prepping for yourselves or those you’re leaving behind you’re going to be stuck with nothing when this all hits.
On top of everything else Clif and others are seeing a serious banking dust-up in a matter of weeks and some are seeing a break up of our country into regions a lot sooner than anyone here is publicly anticipating.
Have a great evening!
If this is confirmed, and the Montreux convention being in full force, the Moskva has not many options. That’s going to need a lot of resource attention to secure. C4 just got a ping in the eardrum.

Texas is saturated with illegals who have flown here from all corners of the globe. I have met some who were good people; I have been victimized by others.
A number of years ago I was subjected to an unprovoked assault by a supervisor ( not my immediate). I was in constant level 5 to 8 pain for almost nine months with an inflamed nerve bundle. The lone witness was a second supervisor whose papers were not in order , that is, he was an upscale illegal. He threw me under the bus. Without an eyewitness or an x-ray (nerve damage isn’t photogenic), I had no recourse.
I view illegal coworkers with the same reservations as dopers- their judgement is suspect when things turn ugly.
Merry Christmas George. Tomorrow is the actual birth of Jesus according to my calculations. And the signs say so.
Even the bucket of KFC I got yesterday said, Happy Holidays and had Santa on it. Thanks DUDE! Happy Birthday!
I’m talking a long sebatical from on line thoughts at all these venues such Ures. I spoke to the Jedi last night about the “finger prints of God” on everything around us. I call them totems. I spose Finger Prints of GOD is more appropriate.
Having stood in the middle of 9 manifestations of the Finger Prints of God in one place last weekend. Similar to the CD case I found with the Halloween coupon book, 4 months priopr to Eric Church booking his American tour, 9 months before i would ever hear about the job i have now and to be there att rh3 eact moment 10 months to the day and take that picture which was an exact image at 1201am on Halloween as the image in the CD that I found with the Halloween coupon book.
And every mistake I made, and every choice and every mistake everyone else made, every choice they made which was as many mistakes and choices as the sands of the Sahara, to put me there at the exact moment to take that picture that matched that CD case I found at 1201am on Halloween.
One the Jedi asked me, what someone else asked on here. How do you know if you are living in God’s perfect will. Obviously you are. How does one live in such a perpetual state of synchronicity
So I told him, to me, God’s perfect will is to me the perfect blend of love and humility.
Some people think humility is making everyone better than you. And being less than. But that is not humility. Humility is, physically taking a step back from anything, even what you think you know and saying Show me me how to _______.
I do that often. Show me how to live a life of prosperity. Show me how to live a life of wealth. Show me how to appropriately navigate this situation, event, circumstance, personalities and feelings with honor and respect. Show me how DUDE to love my children in this situation for their greatest benefit.
I find at times, when I’m struggling with a problem or issue. I’m standing to close to it. So I physically take a step back. As a representation of my willingness for the solution to take the Lead in any given situation, circumstance, event, personality conflicts or other.
When I do that? I’m living in God’s perfect will. And it is there like last weekend in Seaside Oregon, I’m standing in awe, perfectly in the palm of THE DUDES hand as I look around and see not just one totem or Finger print of God manifested. But 9 all around me. And nobody knows or sees what I see but THE DUDE and me. And once again I am reminded, every single mistake, every choice I made and every mistake and every choice everyone else made put me exactly where THE DUDE wanted me to be at the exact time HE wanted me there. With the.exact people around me he wanted there with me in that moment. Even if they could not see it. I could. Even if they were not aware of its occourance or could not even fathom the depth of it. Doesn’t make it any less true.
I’m not special. At all. Everyone should be living like that. I think. I think everyone is. They just don’t have the eyes to see it. I guess.
Not sure when. Or if I will come back on here. I don’t know. So I’m taking a step back from you all and the jedi for now, and let the Spirit or Solution lead.
How do you know what the will of THE DUDE is? Its the perfect blend of humility and love. That is how you know.
Namaste
Truly I am Blessed and Highly Fortunate!

Yellen calls for crypto regulation to reduce risks, fraud
WASHINGTON (AP) — Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen says more government regulation is needed to police the proliferation of cryptocurrency and other digital assets and to ward off fraudulent and illicit transactions. In practice, one result would be that users would get documentation of their crypto dealings for use in filing their taxes.

American Gulag: With Noor Bin Ladin’s Help, Revolver’s Work Has Made It Into the Official Records of the UN
For the past year, Revolver has done more than any other publication to undermine the discredited official narrative of the January 6 U.S. Capitol incident. We have exploded the myth of a planned insurrection, and forced both Congress and the national media to confront substantial evidence that federal informants and provocateurs were active on 1/6 and played a central role driving the events of that day forward. Now, with the help of Noor bin Ladin, Revolver’s work has made it into the official records of the UN.

In a break with the past, U.S. is using intel to fight an info war with Russia, even when the intel isn’t rock solid
It was an attention-grabbing assertion that made headlines around the world: U.S. officials said they had indications suggesting Russia might be preparing to use chemical agents in Ukraine. President Joe Biden later said it publicly. But three U.S. officials told NBC News this week there is no evidence Russia has brought any chemical weapons near Ukraine.

U.S. ‘Intelligence’ Says Its ‘Intelligence’ Is Bullshit

How ‘rock solid’ was the ‘intelligence’ about Saddam Hussein’s weapons of mass destruction or chemical weapons attacks in Douma, Syria? U.S. ‘intelligence’, then and now, is pure imagination for the purpose of deceiving the U.S. and ‘western’ public about the reality of this or that conflict

NYT’s Top Editor Orders Reporters To “Meaningfully Reduce” Twitter Usage As Musk Joins Company’s Board
How’s this for interesting timing?
Just days after Elon Musk – a self-described “free speech absolutist” – unveiled a 9.2% stake in Twitter, the NYT’s executive editor has reportedly ordered the paper’s army of reporters (many of whom are among the platform’s most closely followed journalists) to reduce the amount of time they spend tweeting.

Hey LOOB: Here’s the precedent…
The libs on the USSC have “examined” other countries’ court decisions (despite such being both against the law and incredibly ill-advised) for over 30 years now, before proffering their “own opinion” on a case.
Dam… that just makes me sick to my stomach how they can justify horrific acts like that….

Ok, so 6% of the US egg industry is effected by bird flu, which leaves 94% of the industry operational, add on a war we aren’t (supposedly) in on, on the other side of the world and American producers are effected by it in the form of supply chain disruption. Is it just me who doesn’t understand why? Tank aren’t blocking our roads.
Ok, so in 2015 we asked France to help us when the bird flu hit the US then, but when it was over, why didn’t we just say “Thank you” to France and go back to taking care of ourselves?
