• Tulsi Gabbard Sues Google For Campaign “Interference” (ZH)
If my memory serves me right,
Obama was the first to successfully use social media and get elected.
Trump was the next big winner.
Now, I find that everyone can use social media to fabricate fake news to try to destroy their opponents.
For 2020, Social media will be full of interference by friendly, (Israel), and other interested parties trying to get “their wo/man” elected.Influence peddling starts before your wo/man gets on the ballot.
It will be impossible for the voters to find a candidate that is free and independent.

Despite all the craftsmanship, though, fake is still fake. And today virtually everything is fake, a con designed to trick or distract the marks (us) from the looting, plundering and predation of those running the con for their own self-interest.

Boeing is still producing 42 of its 737 jets a month and plans to boost that rate to 57 next year. But if there are further setbacks, Muilenberg said: “We might need to consider possible further rate reductions or other options including a temporary shutdown of the Max production.””———

But the planemaker needs to “take their losses”
I don’t know how planes a paid for …
I would assume that the banks are owed the money for those planes. If the banks don’t go bankrupt ….Therefore, the banks, will seize the asset/plane and find a free parking place for all those planes while deciding what to do with them.

If the ordinary people are responsible for the majority of GDP growth, then most of the ordinary people need more money to spend, to make the GDP higher.
If you ( you = the rich and powerful) don’t want the GDP to grow then cut wages, cut social services, increase interest on borrowing, make housing unaffordable, put tariffs on cheap imports, increase cost until people have no money to spend, print money for a selected few, and give money to the rich (yourself).

I agree.
Emergency management manuals do not replace the old farts.
There are emergency manual sitting on shelves, everywhere, for all kinds of situation.
Nobody has read them enough to be able to put them into operation.
Imagine if those manuals were on the web and there was no web available and no old farts.
Imagine a room full of people “not my responsibility” etc.
Guess what ….. that is what has replaced us old farts in too many functions.

The only value of us “old farts” is our experience and memories; but, if those are not valued; they then serve only the holders of such…I’ve forgotten more than what most people learned.
Now, most people, rely on the web, not their memories.
I’m trying to instill, in my grand kids, “if you don’t remember it, then you don’t know it.”The agricultural loan portfolios of the nation’s top 30 banks fell by $3.9 billion, to $18.3 billion, between their peak in December 2015 and March 2019, the analysis showed. That’s a 17.5% decline.
Who bought those loans from the banks? Who is it that is going big time into the farming business by buying on the cheap?

China is making sure to lend money that is secured by cash flowing assets.
That’s what all lender try to do. (ie. CPP.

It is disappointing for adult children to discover too late that their parents tapped out the equity of a home that, in some situations, their parents had inherited from their parents. It is tragic when their inheritance disappeared into the coffers of a predatory lender.
