I had a thought on the ownership of stocks in the US. Who owned the stocks?
Found this info and it's just as I thought.
The Stock Market only reflects how the wealthy are doing.
Is anyone suprised

I voted today in SC
Count one more for all the good folks running
As for the ReButtliker candidates. Time to start reevaluating their sorry life choices.
Many of you are asking how you can help me.
My only ask is this: Spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. Tell everyone to subscribe to Democracy Docket and share its content. demdock.com/4w6emld
Dark thought I had.
Once 2029 occurs, we know people will have pardons and think themselves untouchable.
But the ICE president exists.
Kidnap anyone ya want, never tell anyone where they are, and then drop them in some random country.
No court appearance or judge involved.
That's the precident
Just an idea
How about we modify Presidential Pardons to only take effect AFTER the law breakers have served their full sentence?
One guy should not have the power to overturn any verdict of guilt.
Don't even mention the Orange idiot and what he's doing. He's just selling them.
NO media
1000s are marching in DC to defend voting rights; 90 orgs signed on, Reuters sent photographers, but local media
Bernie Sanders, AOC and Martin Luther King III attended
Wa Post buried it
A Black-led march is visible in DC only after somebody else reports it
Repost the march they buried
Quick question,
How does any company or business that removes jobs just to replace the workers with machines help society?
Quick answer.
They don't.
Society is the last thing companies and businesses think about.
Thoughts for today.
Dodging a health bullet these last two weeks made me think a bit.
Looking back at my life, there are lots of lost moments. More lost moments than memories .. by far.
Then I realized those blanks are when I was living in the moment. Not real memorable, but what we live for.
A thought,
Since the tarrifs will be found to be illegal eventually, just like last time, why should any company be able to "pass on" the costs of tarrifs to the purchaser?
Seems like a corporate scam to me.
Interesting day here
Up, dressed, off to the ER for my swollen leg.
In n out in 2.5 hours (mind blown huh π)
Unsettling prognosis, so off to get new meds.
Home in time for a nap.
New drugs start tomorrow.
So on the 'morrow I will, as always, "Endeavor to Persevere"
Be well and be kind.
I see lots of reporting that Mitch McConnell is out of rehab. And now at home. It's all reported as fact.
What fact does anyone have or know about that proves any of these statements?
News organizations are now just reporting guesses and inuendo.They need to do better, but I'm guessing they won't.
There are two reasons people don't see this coming. Neither one is stupidity. Both are in this article, less than a week ago it was a paid article...now FREE for the first time, with every citation attached. If you only share one thing this month, make it this.

Colbert guest hosted a public access TV show in Monroe, Michigan a day after the Late Show ended.

Genius.

If a book is written by AI, there is no author. If there is no author, then no one should get paid, and no one can charge you for reading it
Exactly how is Barnes and Nobel going to "sell" AI collections of letters, numbers, and punctuation?
They own nothing and have no legal right to charge folks

A really tough week.

Quick question
Why does the dias at any news conference need to have wall to wall people behind the speaker?
Are they paid extras?
Yes, I know they are, but what is the point?
Another thing the next admin needs to address is the large number of monopolys that exist to make only a few super rich.
Tear them apart just like we did to the robber barrons.
Here is a quote of all the truthful things DONna said last week;
"

Just like the week before.
Hang in there everyone and always remember to look up and see the Bluesky when ya need a break
Be well and be kind
Just wondering, has anyone seen any positive effect from ICE being deployed to airports?
Other than the obvious benefit of getting them on camera that is.
Read this great article on the topic of AI.
It's seems pretty grounded to me, but I'll let you decide.
At least it's a perspective from a rational point of view.

An observation on AI and its ability to pick stocks.
The headline aways reads "AI makes thousands on stock picks"
My question would be "How many iterations was it running?"
Experts admit they don't know how AI actually operates, so how do we know the "answer" is the only one it created?
I see the top US general said "Iran cannot outlast us".
We heard the same foolish statement all through history
North Korea
Vietnam
Afghanistan
Iraq
None of these countries could "outlast us" right?
Again, our military doesn't understand you can't bomb an idology into submission.
In the future
A business can only own one news outlet. No exceptions.
All outlets must cite facts, not theories with no facts to back them up.
Violation requires retraction played every hour for two days.
Here's a start. What have I missed?
An insight I made today.
The fact that the Supreme Court hasn't ruled on Trumps tarrifs yet kinda makes me believe they were just waiting for the house to make a move first.
"See Trump, it wasn't us"
Could be wrong. What do you think.
A presidential comparison.
Obama was able to deport 3 million people during his presidency without special forces tactics and terrifying the whole country with a private army of goons.
Just one example of where Obama was better at "presidenting" than Trump will ever be capable of.
So today our dictator ran back to the only warm sefe place he can find now. The campaign trail. Where his lonely few will give him the adoration he so desperately needs.
The sad act of a truly unliked and despondent being.
He will soon realize that even they have no longer have any feelings him.
A question on the Venezuela invasion.
If it was just the arrest of a wanted criminal they were going for, what were all of the US military assets doing there?
Sure looked like a military operation directed by the war room to me.
I see that the CDC is reporting on the number of flu cases that are occuring in the US.
Sorry, but I have no confidence in the values they are reporting. Could be more or less.
I'll wait to see numbers from actual experts who know what they are doing to represent an accurate assessment.
