Problems identified.
It’s going to take more than one coffee break to find an implementable solution.
Life – Repeating the same thing, expecting the same results.
“Having no debts is an advantage”
“Marry a rich man.”
This mornings blog is sending me on trip down memory lane.
When I was young, a group of us would spend our coffee breaks on a breaking news topic and before the end of the coffee break, we had properly identified the real problem and had found multiple solutions.
Unfortunately, not one of us was socially or economically positioned to implement our solutions.
Today, with the web, at the speed of light, millions of people are made aware of the problems.
Yet, the solutions are not being implemented,
Is this just very very bad journalism, or is it something more? You be the judge. But beware that almost all of this stuff consists of insinuations. It’s an affront to journalism.
How do we find the truth anymore? Have we effectively all been silenced?
NO!
Let’s try some other descriptive words.

is a person who exposes any kind of information or activity
Whistleblowing is a topic of ongoing ethical debate.I needed a definition/Clarification for Neoliberalism:
Neoliberalism or neo-liberalism refers primarily to the 20th-century resurgence of 19th-century ideas associated with laissez-faire economic liberalism. Those ideas include economic liberalization policies such as privatization, austerity, deregulation, free trade and reductions in government spending in order to increase the role of the private sector in the economy and society. These market-based ideas and the policies they inspired constitute a paradigm shift away from the post-war Keynesian consensus which lasted from 1945 to 1980.

6A Life Wasted
The title could easily be that of a book.
I cannot count the ways.
The impact of his actions were more than that of a butterfly.
For every action there is a reaction.
Time is a factor in a reaction which makes determining cause and effect a complex calculation.
In our modern world A key stroke can be more effective than a bomb.
The saying use to be, ” The pen is stronger than the sword”Example:
Still, you’re right: the real tragedy is not that John McCain wasted his own life. It’s that he helped destroy so many others.Look at the volume of readers and comments of the following article.

A wave has started. Will it require the input of more energy?
Maybe its a soliton. (look it up)Breaking news
I couldn’t wait for tomorrows articles
I just know how much everyone has been waiting for this news.https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/may/02/donald-trump-nobel-peace-prize
Eighteen lawmakers write to Nobel committee to say president should receive 2019 prize ‘in recognition of his work to end the Korean war’
Although the letter copiously praises Trump’s “maximum pressure” campaign and says there is “no one more deserving of the Committee’s recognition in 2019 than President Trump for his tireless work to bring peace to our world”
Its all rehash for “q-tips” who want to learn.
Its all new for the young readers who are not here to hear the infoMessages might get noticed on ZH if they can get through the noise.
Its called bullying!
The USA is doing its bullying because everyone allows it.
Everyone is afraid to be the next victim.When will they stop the destruction?
Will there be anything worth having after the destruction?Conricus said Israel had notified Russia before the strikes began.
The Israeli newspaper Haaretz quoted an unidentified security official as saying Israel’s attacks inside Syria were the most extensive since the two nations signed a disengagement agreement after the October war of 1973. Israel has warned it will not permit Tehran to establish a permanent military presence in Syria, accusing Iran of moving drones and missiles into its Arab neighbour. Iranian forces have been sent to aid the Syrian government in a devastating seven-year civil war against insurgents.
If only the gran kids made the time to listen.
I might be able to help them understand and survive in our existing changing social/economic systems.Mastering walking on water is not required.
You missed my point
Is this a capitalist system or a modern slavery system?
A capitalist system that is getting trillion of dollars from the socialization of costs?
I wonder.
Did those who do not like Trump encourage him to go and actually do something stupid so that he would look stupid.Answer: yes
============
Is this a capitalist system or a modern slavery systemCapitalist don’t need to train their workers. Society pays to train their workers.
The capitalist keep the profits. How much profit?.• US Student Debt Just Hit $1.5 Trillion (MW)
Don’t forget to add, your employer will not supply transportation from your moms basement to your worksite. How much profit?
Auto loans and leases for new and used vehicles rose by 3.8% from a year ago, or by $41 billion, to $1.118 trillion.
Don’t forget to add the hidden costs that the companies are not paying.
Mom and Granny had to go into debt or use their saving so that their snowflakes could go to school, lose their virginity and continue to live in the basement.I wonder.
Did those who do not like Trump encourage him to go and actually do something stupid so that he would look stupid.If you are an American, Look at what your gov. is doing in your name.
https://www.treasury.gov/resource-center/sanctions/Programs/Pages/Programs.aspxWhile you are busy being entertained by Trump, look at what dirty trick are being done to ordinary humans.
The excuses for the dirty trick, sound valid. After all, the sanctions are being announced by a HOLY MAN, Vice President Mike Pence at the Organization of American States at the OAS headquarters in Washington, U.S. May 7, 2018 REUTERS/Kevin Lamarque

WHAT????!!!
I’m not anti Israel ….
but its so true.
That means that the pot is black
but, but but the same rule cannot apply to “friends”Thank you Raúl Ilargi Meijer for the articles.
My interpretation of what the articles are revealing.While the world has been distracted and enjoying watching Trump do his reality dance …
A undeclared war is hapening all around the world.
It called Modern Warfare.
There are many enforcement mechanisms.
The USA does not need to invade a country with guns and soldiers to steal their wealth.A resurgent dollar and higher borrowing costs are smashing through Argentina and Turkey’s currencies like a wrecking ball and raising the likelihood more broadly that emerging markets’ three-year long interest rate cutting cycle is at an end.
The interest rate currently sits at 40%. That means the Central Bank pays 40% per year on peso-denominated debt, which can imply that they expect the value of the peso to fall somewhere in the ballpark of 40% over a one year period. A year ago in April, the rate was closer to 26%. Yikes.
And the exchange rate kicked off the week at around 20.5 ARS/USD. It jumped almost to 23 ARS/USD, and is currently hovering around 21.8 ARS/USD.The Latin American country is in the grip of a deep recession with severe shortages of medicine and food as well as a growing exodus of its people.
Therefore,
If I went to university I would have been taught the truth about our past?If I went to university I would not believe fake news?
I can only conclude that I have not been taught the truth.
I’m not going to do a “fact check”
I’ll just take another “grain of salt”.RE.;
• Jacinda Ardern Pledges Shelter For All Homeless People Within Four Weeks (G.)My observation
Every week, I see municipal workers, volunteers, security guards police and other contractors doing “maintenance” around the homeless shelters.
Soup kitchens and other aid organizations are also providing services.
It must cost a fortune to society.
It must supply a living income for many guilty feeling “do-gooders”.Most recreation vehicles are used only for a few weeks when new, then only for a few days, then for an occasional seasons or occasional event.
Eventually, those RV end up covered with broken branches, moss and turning into a rotten eyesore to be enjoyed by their neighbor.
There are enough used campers/RV sitting in backyards to house all the homeless people multiple times.
Therefore, why do we have social structures that allows homeless people to live on the street when there are multiple used, cheap alternatives that could solve many problems?This the best news that I’ve read in a long time .
The shit hit the fan and nobody saw it coming.
Due to troubles trying to stay alive where people now live, people are trying to go to where they can live without those troubles.

Under the new system, applicants will be granted citizenship automatically if they correctly answer 20 out of 30 questions online. In addition, the government is planning to allow immigrants over the age of 65 to obtain Greek IDs, without testing their knowledge of the Greek language.As a result, a total of 800,000 immigrants — almost one-tenth of the native Greek population — will soon become citizens. Transposed to the United States, that would be the equivalent of 32,000,000 new voters.
Meanwhile, as its immigrant population increases, Greece is simultaneously undergoing a brain-drain. Over the past 8 years, for example, 500,000 skilled and educated young people left the country and have chosen to remain abroad rather than return home and contribute to the economy, the culture and society in general.
Long term solution.
A new passport to move around the world
Do the numbers … 800,000 new greeks will potentially be looking for a better place to live with the 500,000 “old” greeks who have left.The wedding arrangement are more important than ….
“Yeah, the Skripal story is bizarre. Big bold accusations 8 weeks ago, more expelled diplomats than ever in history, but never a shred of evidence. Only to now find a total media silence. Not a letter has been printed about the allegedly poisoned father and daughter recently. “

Everyone need to be distracted from reality.

‘WE’RE FULL’: Immigration officials tell asylum seekers crossing at capacity
“At this time, we have reached capacity at the San Ysidro port of entry for CBP officers to be able to bring additional persons travelling without appropriate entry documentation into the port of entry for processing,” Commissioner Kevin McAleenan said in a statement. “Those individuals may need to wait in Mexico as CBP officers work to process those already within our facilities.”
Soon, the wall will be to keep people from immigrating out of the USA
Has the police been sent to arrest Netanyahu for stealing?
Does everyone think that its okay to interfere in Iran?Yep!

Go and readhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harrowsmith_Country_Life
Originally called Harrowsmith, the magazine was heralded as a back-to-the-land and environmental issues platform. In 1976, founder James M. Lawrence cut and paste the first issues together on a kitchen table in the tiny village of Camden East (pop. 256) in Ontario, Canada. Within two years, the magazine had over 100,000 subscribers and eventually became Canada’s 8th largest magazine.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mother_Earth_News
Mother Earth News embraced the revived interest in the back-to-the-land movement at the beginning of the 1970s, and combined this with an interest in the ecology movement and self-sufficiency. Unlike many other magazines with ecological coverage, Mother Earth News concentrated on do-it-yourself and how-to articles, aimed at the growing number of people moving to the country. As a result, the magazine thrived throughout the 1970s. There were articles on home building, farming, gardening, and entrepreneurism, all with a DIY approach. The subject matter of the articles ranged widely into such subjects as geodesic domes, hunting, food storage, and even a regular column on amateur radio. Alternative energy was a frequent topic covered in the magazine, with articles on how to switch to solar power and wind power, and how to make a still and run your car on ethanol. A series of “Plowboy Interviews” was also a regular feature, which included interviews of environmental leaders and others. With its left of center perspective, The Mother Earth News attracted a wide readership, not only of back to the landers but also others ranging from hippies, to survivalists, to suburban dwellers who dreamed of someday moving to the country, to long-time rural dwellers who found the DIY articles useful.
