The Morning Report*
*Sans Sefton
“So there’s been a nuclear attack. Don’t ask me how or why, just know that the big one has hit. Ok? So, what do we do? There are three important steps that I want you to remember,” the video’s host states. “Step one: get inside, fast. You, your friends, your family … get inside. And, no, staying in the car is not an option. You need to get into a building and move away from the windows.” “Step two: stay inside. Shut all doors and windows. Have a basement? Head there. If you don’t have one, get as far into the middle of the building as possible,” she continues. “If you were outside after the blast, get clean immediately. Remove and bag all outer clothing to keep radioactive dust or ash away from your body.” “Step three: stay tuned. Follow media for more information. Don’t forget to sign up for Notify NYC for official alerts and updates. And don’t go outside until officials say it’s safe. Alright? You’ve got this,” the host adds. "And if you are hungry, just order from GrubHub...don't go out."[I may have added a line] NYC has a $100 billion budget, so this sort of nonsense shouldn't surprise you! But the idiocy is delicious. This fool thinks that after a nuclear strike the cellular systems will be working? It's government in a nutshell, with the addition of typical NYC pomposity.

Back when I was in college I took a course in computer ethics. It was, of course, filled with dire predictions about how Republicans were going to strip away your digital rights (lol) but that had one bit I recall where they suggested that everyone use a specific phrase in all their emails. It was carefully crafted to use every trigger word the author could think of.
Obviously, computer power has gone up and they'd be able to parse this sort of thing now, and it's the left that's stripping away your digital rights (so that's probably okay).

When you add it to the $25 million that Oberlin owes the Gibsons, it adds up to a nice piece of change. And given that Oberlin severely damaged the Gibsons' business, they surely could use it.
Oberlin is near the end of its appeals, and will have to pay the Gibsons eventually. Meanwhile, the interest meter keeps running.

Oberlin had to buy an appeal bond for the entire amount of the judgment. They will pay the Gibsons, one way or another. The only question is when they will pay, not whether. And since Oberlin is approaching the end of the appeals process, it will likely be sooner rather than later.

Stiff brushes abrade the flesh providing spots for contamination to remain. Assuming just general ash type fallout, a shower would remove most of it. Remaining in the area would lead to exposure so it's not an increased risk.

It does here. Oberlin has a SECURED surety bond in place. If the Ohio Supreme Court takes a pass on the case, as is probable, the bond pays. If the Gibson motion to force Zurich to pay is decided even before the Supreme Court decides, then the money flows. Gibsons is in the final lap.

You don't understand how appeal bonds work. It's basically an insurance contract. Oberlin was required to purchase the insurance contract from Zurich, the bonding company, to guarantee the payment of the Gibsons' judgment (with accrued interest) at the end of the appeals process. Zurich will pay, as soon as the court orders it to pay.

As citizens, we typically have absolutely no idea what systems are in place and used to search for or seek out things or individuals along our highways and by-ways, or just simple normal life.
Radiation detectors at truck stops and choke points are probably very common.
License Plate readers at tolls and major tunnel entrances are common along the I-95 corridor as well.
I would suspect that if you own an EZ-Pass, or some other form of RFID based toll payment system, that there are locations on our highways that ping and record the movement of your devise, besides the normal toll paying process.

Actually, this is solid advice - and we've known it since the 40s. The premise of the PSA is stupid - there is little time to react when you see the flash, and if you're not in a building already then you're not going to have time to get to one. Get away from glass and under something solid. Turns out "duck and cover" wasn't actually dumb, it was good advice. If you're in the impact zone then there's no saving you - but if you're not, you're more likely to die from flying debris than anything else. Fallout is a problem for 30 minutes from now. Protecting yourself from high-speed shrapnel is a problem for right GD now. Whatever you do, don't gawp out the window to look for the source of the flash. Take cover as soon as you the flash. At worst, you look like a fool who slid under a table for no reason.

The bond (for the entire amount) has been, for lack of the correct term, called due. The Olsen's filed to get the bond money released/paid.
Now Oberlin and Zurich are trying to get the Ohio Supreme to extend their appeal date (because they screwed up and missed the date).

================
Before Oberlin (or any loser at trial) is allowed to waste court time on pointless appeals they have to prove they can pay the original award. But Oberlin did not want to hand over money to the Gibsons, for obvious reasons, to the surety bond is acceptable as a compromise by the court.
Gibsons is exploiting a twist in the Appeals Court ruling pretty adroitly, according to Bill Jacobson. I really hope it ends soon and the family gets their money. Their business is devastated. Oberlin is destroying it.

Right, which is why Orwell posited the second point: destroying the means of expression so that such actions cannot manifest. In my opinion, his appendix on "The Principles of Newspeak" was the most valuable part of the book. It lays out the premise for destroying the ability to express opinions quite nicely and it remains a haunting read to this day - especially when you consider how much the typical in-use vocabulary has shrunk over the past fifty or so years. Nuance is gone.

They will, but I suspect it's not a real issue. It's just an excuse for Musk to back out. It will muddy the litigation waters though. Hopefully not enough for the courts not to order performance/compensation.
If Musk was smart (and he *is* smart, but prone to doing stupid shit when high), he would have hedged against a decline in the Twitter price (or at least the market) after he announced the offer.
If he did, and is therefore still more-or-less whole even with the Twitter price decline, then he's looking to pocket his hedging gains and avoid the Twitter losses. Since he has nothing to lose by this strategy, he may as well pursue it.
If he didn't hedge, then he stands to lose more than he gained from the sale of his Tesla stock if the Twitter sale is forced through, and that's gotta sting. So again, he would try to get out of it.

It *might* be vacation homes, but I doubt it. When these schemes are floating in this country (usually places like Portland, where I see it come up fairly frequently), it's about regular apartments that are idle, not some rich guy's pied-à-terre or lake house. In other words, speculative holdings.
If they do it, goodbye property market. Investors exit the market and the price support they offer vanishes. This might be a good thing on balance (housing prices will certainly decline, and the market will chill quickly) because more people can buy, but it's a destruction of property rights that will have dramatic - and almost certainly bad - long-term consequences.
But it is in keeping (domestically, anyway) with the left's general thesis, which is that speculators destroy affordable housing and the problem of vagrancy is, as my lib friend in Portland puts it, a "houselessness" problem.

A broader market decline he could hedge against, but any extraneous activity regarding a company he has offered to purchase is a huge red flag. It's hard to defend shorting Twitter, offering to buy it(making the price go way up), and then cancelling the offer(which looks like hoping for the price to crash below the shorting point).

That is greedy. The normal scheme is to hold the family back home ransom for the transit fee, to be provided over time by remittances. I strongly suspect this play is being run against cash buyers. If the alien has the money to pay the coyote without going into debt to the cartel operators, they probably have more. So take the money and then double the price later.

Dammit. Now I am going to have to war game this out.
Its sort of like biometrics, trying to figure out what Musk would do. In biometrics you don't have the fingerprints, iris or face, rather you have digital templates that are similar to a hash or a geohash (the lengthier the hash the more precise the location) such where when performing a match you don't find the exact match, you just identify templates that have more points/features in common than others.
This idea that Twitter was a ruse and the theater that went around it for a Tesla sell-off has a lot of points/features that match over other explanations.
A number of points still don't match, but far many do.

Go home. Go directly home. Do not stop at a bodega to grab a few supplies. Do not shoot your neighbor to take their supplies. Remove your clothes and dispose of them outside. Shower & scrub vigorously. Pop a frozen pizza into the microwave, tune in your cable tv and radio for further instructions. Keep your phone charged for text alerts. Limit your phone calls to 2 - Mom&Dad and a sibling or a trusted neighbor. Relax and wait for further instructions from the civil authorities

Fascism historically was government takeover & control of corporations. The WEF/Great Reset cabal (possibly with an assist from the CCP as you mention is fascism flipped on its head: corporate takeover & control (see Blackrock, Vanguard, et. al.) of governments -- and they've been very open about & successful at it.
If only they didn't have virtually total control of the MDM-MSM, people might have been made aware of and been alarmed years ago to have nipped it in the bud. But the systemic corruption you wrote about recently is, well, pretty systemic throughout the West.

Baltimore does indeed have its very own Fleet Week.
And 'The Block' is within walking distance of the inner harbor.
While in uniform, we once stood adjacent to an empty spot along the harbor wall where a small trail of bubble would occasionally rise to the surface.
As folks would ask what we were doing, and what ship, etc, we told them that our sub was sitting on the bottom there, and came up every two hours for tours.
Then we walked away.

I strongly suspect most of the death toll in a NYC nuclear hit will be post-blast. It always is (the shrapnel and debris problem) but it will be compounded in NYC because it's a tough place to evacuate. There are a lot of choke points and it's hard to get out. The population that survives will find it difficult to leave, and the problem will get worse and worse. Hell, it took me six hours to make it from Queens to northern New Jersey one Labor Day weekend, and that was just heavy vacation traffic. Even making the city exit-only and opening everything on both sides of the road and suspending tolls won't make *that* much of a difference - especially if a couple of bridges are gone or the approaches are destroyed.

I love F Troop and those characters. Only two seasons and you can still find them airing episodes (on one of those sub-channel broadcasts).
Of course - F Troop was killed off in the “rural purge” because the Hollywierd execs couldn’t stand the programming middle America actually enjoyed. So, it was all canceled - F Troop; Green Acres; Gomer Pyle. Replaced by “relevant” (leftist) programming like All in the Family.

I'll tell you a story.
We had DHS contact us about a high radiation reading where I work and since I worked in nuclear power they called me to go meet them. I meet them in the parking lot and they had a DHS SUV full of instruments. They showed me the readings that they were getting. I had never seen instruments that read that low of levels of radiation and I think they had individual gamma energy detection for isotope identification.
Long story short, but we determined they had detected a radiography source that we had on site. While it was still in it's lead shielded box. It hadn't even been pulled out yet.

It's philosophical and has to do with just cause. Just cause, or at least selective enmity, is very important for humans.
It does not assert that it is impossible to violate these rights, it asserts that it is proper, and consequently not a war on society(unlike say shooting your neighbor for plunder or fun), to act in their defense.
They are referred to as natural because of the logical process by which the set was derived. It is commonly expected among mankind that we will defend our own possessions, or our own lives, for instance(more complicated than this though).

I suspect they're going to keep boosting it 0.75 points every meeting for a while. They won't do a big, single-shot, multi-point increase unless they're truly cornered - and they aren't truly cornered yet. That might happen by Autumn because the credit cards will be maxed out, but not yet.
The Fed balance sheet is - very slowly - declining. They haven't disclosed that they are draining assets and so it is probably natural roll-off, but that will accelerate and they can start selling for a month or two before anyone will notice (assuming they don't fudge the numbers and hide it). As that trend accelerates (which it will, in the absence of QE), money supply will shrink. They might be banking on significant but manageable interest rates hikes while the balance sheet does the heavy lifting.

That is the ultimate justification but not the process for deriving them. God never explicitly listed natural rights in the Bible for instance. Aquinas and others inferred natural law from God and nature.

It was (and remains) deliberate misunderstanding of the purpose of "duck and cover." It isn't to help you if you're inside the blast radius. *Nothing* is helping your ass if you're at ground zero. But if you're outside the blast radius - especially a half mile or more - it might well keep you alive. Most people who died at Hiroshima and Nagasaki died due to flying debris (shrapnel), especially glass. This was compounded by people running to the window to see what that flash was, and being in the direct path of problem with no protection.
We learned this by interviewing survivors. Those that hid survived a lot more often than those who went to see what that big flash of light was. The point of "duck and cover" is to train people to ignore that flash and get under something solid, and do it *fast* to hopefully avoid being killed by debris. Fallout is next hour's problem.

seasonally adjusted basis after rising 1.0 percent in May, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported
today. Over the last 12 months, the all items index increased 9.1 percent before seasonal adjustment.
The increase was broad-based, with the indexes for gasoline, shelter, and food being the largest
contributors. The energy index rose 7.5 percent over the month and contributed nearly half of the all
items increase, with the gasoline index rising 11.2 percent and the other major component indexes also
rising. The food index rose 1.0 percent in June, as did the food at home index.
The index for all items less food and energy rose 0.7 percent in June, after increasing 0.6 percent in the
preceding two months.

Personally, I think that the infantile part of that article was the author telling other grown-ass people what they're allowed to enjoy and do as grown-ass adults.
This trend needs to stop. If going to theme parks and watching comic book movies makes you happy, then go for it.
I don't personally like either, but who am I to tell another human what they're allowed to enjoy before they are considered adults?
Conservatives like to pretend they're all about personal freedom, and so am I, but there's too many people on the conservative side that do the "yeah, personal freedom but only if you use it exactly as I prescribe" and it's absolute horse shit.

It isn't all trash by any means, especially not after QE II where the asset quality improved. Most of the old stuff that might have had a high proportion of trash has rolled off now, replaced through routine purchasing operations. They own so much stuff that hey can't sell without depressing the price and most of the balance sheet is probably under water, but they *can* sell it. They can't pull out as much as they pumped in, but they can pull quite a bit if they don't cause a total price crash in the asset classes they're trying to quietly unload.

It's mostly US treasuries and MBS (mortgage-backed securities).
The Fed is hugely conflicted. Since those US treasuries were bought with US dollars "printed" (in fact, just a SQL statement) by the Fed itself, they couldn't care less about inflation.
The federal govt OTOH loves inflation because they'll be repaying those treasuries with your future taxes on your inflated income.

Seems weird that they can bring it all the way down to South Carolina and sell it to me cheaper that right there at the brewery. But I'm guessing taxes are a huge part of it.

Yeah, taxes. Here in Pennsylvania it's the state flower, bird, tree, flag, and plant.

Government debt. Right now, depending on security type, the US government is paying an average yield of between 0.7 and 3.1 percent. To service that is costing about $300 billion per year. Total revenue is around $4.05 trillion. So servicing interest as low as it has been is running at about 7.5% of total revenue.
Doubling the interest rate means that servicing it it will hit around 15% of total revenue - but it gets worse because we don't have a balanced budget and we add *another* few hundred billion per year, assuming no more COVID spending or insane "infrastructure" bills. So the total debt load climbs as interest rates climb, and within a few years you're at a quarter of revenue going to interest payments and your ability to borrow more starts collapsing - which lands you in a full-blown fiscal crisis with existential implications.

I think it will take some time for this impact to be fully felt, since (under Trump) the Treasury tried to stretch average duration. Neverthess, this is where we are headed and Social Security/Medicare/HHS welfare versus Defense spending is going to be a thing.

They might have to get very creative on maturity duration and other means. It can probably be done, but it would require some actual patriotism and they've poisoned the well very thoroughly in that regard.
Something akin to a war bond drive would work if there was participation. Go hat in hand to the people and ask them to buy special 30-year bonds at low interest to bail out the government (refinance a big chunk of the debt) in exchange for balanced budgets, government shrinkage and accountability and a whole lot of dirty officials going to prison. The government cleans up its act and we band together to keep the system from failing.
Something like that might work, but in a zero-trust environment where people would have no expectation that the government keeps it's word, nothing like that can ever possibly happen.

I strongly suspect most of the death toll in a NYC nuclear hit will be post-blast. It always is (the shrapnel and debris problem) but it will be compounded in NYC because it's a tough place to evacuate. There are a lot of choke points and it's hard to get out. The population that survives will find it difficult to leave, and the problem will get worse and worse. Hell, it took me six hours to make it from Queens to northern New Jersey one Labor Day weekend, and that was just heavy vacation traffic. Even making the city exit-only and opening everything on both sides of the road and suspending tolls won't make *that* much of a difference - especially if a couple of bridges are gone or the approaches are destroyed.

I was there for th great blackout of 2003? I think? It was impossible to get off Manhattan. Took me many many hours (at least
to get to Millburn NJ (a rich suburb). I hadn't moved to Hoboken yet which would have helped, but to even cross the river took hours upon hours.Posted by: Rochelle, Rochelle (formerly Roxanne, Roxanne) at July 13, 2022 09:53 AM (szWS4)

Back when I was in college I took a course in computer ethics. It was, of course, filled with dire predictions about how Republicans were going to strip away your digital rights (lol) but that had one bit I recall where they suggested that everyone use a specific phrase in all their emails. It was carefully crafted to use every trigger word the author could think of.
Obviously, computer power has gone up and they'd be able to parse this sort of thing now, and it's the left that's stripping away your digital rights (so that's probably okay).

Their looking for insurrectionists (e.g. Constitutionalists). So if you look up 2nd Amendment and 1st Amendment rights, you're a threat. It's like being back in the days of Woodrow Wilson, where reading the Bill of Rights was enough to get you arrested, the Constitution be damned.

How 'bout for starters we cut the fed budget by 6%, & freeze the budget thereafter. Any new spending to be offset by real revenue coming in.
I'm not especially a Paulist, but Rand Paul has proposed this.
A federal hiring freeze would go far toward reaching the 6% budget cut, i.e., through attrition.
And reducing the number of fed employees by 6% would be painless for all Americans, including civil servants, if it were done via attrition & not reductions in force.
