    “A pension ’til I pass away – that was the deal.”

    Why, oh why do people trust the government? Honestly, I ask you, why? And like GM or Nortel workers, trust the company too. You could have put money away from them, aside, so that in the very likely event they screw you, you’d have your own investment account to fall back on, but now it’s too late. I would be slow to blame the victim, but this is just law, and has been in the news yearly since 1975. Are you a victim if you don’t adjust your path after 45 years of warning? I mean yes, and no. Life is not a sure ride. Take action.

    “Charges that he stole nearly $300,000 from adult film actress [and] that he tried to extort up to $25 million from athletic apparel giant Nike”

    Speaking of trusting lawyers, this is the ethos. You think other lawyers, the bar, had no idea what was going on the last 20 years? And did not start charges, he hasn’t been investigated, much less disbarred. This is a surprise? And you trust them with your pension?

    “More than 10,000 Canadians have died of opioid-related overdoses since 2016..”

    They clearly didn’t care, because they let the number get to 10,000. (CA is 1/10 the size of the U.S., so think 100,000 deaths in American terms), however they DID see dollar signs, now that the states are filling their budgets on vulture ‘capitalism.’ Yay government! Let 60k die per year with towns of 2,000 have 200,000 opioid prescriptions and see no red flags! That’s regulation, that’s helping! Later, instead of arresting all the failed FDA/FBI officials who let 60k a year die for 10 years, they get PAID for your deaths. From the corporations who that allowed and encouraged to commit crimes. Just like mortgage fraud, SEC fraud, HFT fraud, Boeing, Nexium… Helping! Helping so much!

    “German Woman With 1,800 Cows Allowed To Stay In India (AFP)”

    And to think the environmentalists are trying to kill every cow on the planet, in order to help the animals of the earth. …We had to kill the cows, to save them, naturally. This sounds a cheerful story. Cows are pleasant fellows.

    “forcing ancient foragers to spend their days carrying water buckets”

    Both are true, or perhaps far more, as history is very, very large. So these stories tell far more about US than about them. …Of whom we know relatively little, actually. Today, you can go out in the wilds and live. Why don’t we/they? Cities have been terrible, but also magnificent, reflecting the same nature in all human hearts. And nature too, which we are: elephants would love to destroy your front garden; termites would turn your house to ash. We have the luxury of seeing our natural brothers as fluffy, lovable, stuffed animals, when really, as Rogan said, the grizzly you meet in the forest kills something every day. He killed something last night, and will kill something again tomorrow, and he’s not bothered if you are that thing today. Go out into nature and struggle with them, it will put your head on straight.

    Always good to hear stories of people doing good (thinking of the woman running the cow sanctuary). So glad to hear she is allowed to continye- must be heart- wrenching and extremely challenging to provide the care and come up with the needed money. Between the self-serving and thoughtless humans there are those with hearts of gold.

    That’s why I included her story, Carol. Small but big

    WOW! Great eagle pictures.
    I saw the interview of how he got those pictures.
    Since I spend time in the mountain trying to take pictures of wildlife, I have an idea of the effort it takes to get pictures of wildlife. Great pictures are hard to get.

    “…. the shale oil companies can’t make a red cent ….”

    So …. see …. somebody got paid to get it out of the ground. Somebody used it. Somebody got some benefits.

    So …. Its wasn’t about profit.

    “More than 10,000 Canadians have died of opioid-related overdoses since 2016..”

    If anyone is under the impression that those deaths only came from “street people”, then there would not be any living street people left.

    It takes money to buy drugs. Those “basements” full of cash came from the pockets of the well-to-do middle class. (Yeep! The leaders/hypocrites of your communities)

    Excellent photos. Really love them! The second one reminds me of the joke about the dog catching the car. Now what do I do! I collect a lot of the art you post. These two will certainly be added. 🙂

    Thanks, Ilargi. I got to LOL at the final eagle catching the drone. Yes, now what does he do with it?

    Kunstler is right on as usual.

    Here is another link to blow your mind. Think of the different ways this can evolve.

    Indeed, truly awesome.
    However, given humans present proclivity towards war, one can only imagine…

    I guess he’d taste it, find it foul, decide it was no fowl, feel a bit of a fool, and throw in the towel.

    Actually, eagles are trained to capture drones when in unauthorized areas.
    And the eagles know exactly what to do with the drones.
    I suspect that’s what the picture is showing…
