No USA meddling means no refugees.
Do refugees love the USA?https://www.presstv.com/Detail/2019/08/27/604623/Yemeni-forces-strike-Saudi-army-positions-in-Najran-with-new-missile
The US-based Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED), a nonprofit conflict-research organization, estimates that the war has claimed more than 91,000 over the past four and a half years
The war has also taken a heavy toll on the country’s infrastructure, destroying hospitals, schools, and factories. The UN says over 24 million Yemenis are in dire need of humanitarian aid, including 10 million suffering from extreme levels of hunger” ,,,, 5,000 members of the 0.001%, arrest them one by one, adjudicate them, and legally confiscate all their fortunes….. Arrest, adjudicate, and confiscate everything …..”

The Fantasy of Central Bank “Growth” Is Finally ImplodingThat collapse is currently underway in slow motion, but given the increasing instability of asset bubbles, it could accelerate at any time.

…. because the elite want profits to continue their lifestyle.
…. because the elites determine what wages that they are willing to pay

“While we could make them right where we live, pay people a living wage to do it, and lower pollution in the process. Not a hard choice, even if your boxers would cost a dollar more.”
If “Dollar Store” can sell them for an extra dollar, then if we, (the consumer), could afford pay for the underwear made by my neighbor, plus pay all those in the pipeine who want to make a profit, then it could happen. However, I wonder if all the other retailers would be able to survive if I, (the consummer), do not have enough money to buy from them.
Hey! more than 60% cannot survive without using their credit cards. Its too late for a $15.00 minimum wage to pay for USA made goods.

US traders went to bed last night with US equity futures down about 30 points from their Friday close. They woke up with the Emini as much as 40 points higher after what has been a surreal night full of apparent lies and panicked attempts to jawbone the market higher.
After a torrid start to the overnight session, which saw US futures tumble, the Chinese Yuan and 10Y Treasury yields all tumble, the safe haven Japanese yen soar and the Turkish lira briefly flash crash as Mrs Watanabe was again stopped out en masse…
Then, just before 6am, China’s Global Times editor in chief Hu Xijin confirmed as much when he tweeted that “based on what he knows”, there were no phone calls between the US and China in recent days, suggesting that Trump may have simply hallucinated the 2 phone calls, which only took place in his head in hopes of keeping stocks from plunging.
Tell the whole truth.

When in public viewing, I expect to see a lot of action meaning nothing.I assume that all the grey haired people here would like to know that there are some young people trying to get positive action started.
There were also rallies outside Brazil’s embassies in Mexico City and Paris, where demonstrators reportedly carried banners reading: “Fora Bolsonaro!” or “Bolsonaro, out!”
Protesters also surrounded the Brazilian consulate in Geneva while further marches were planned in cities including Adelaide, Lisbon, Stockholm, Boston and Florida.The big boys are ruining the game.
The big boys are playing tit-for-tat.

“The US government has to come up with very very strong legislation for social media, and it has to do that very soon. Because if it doesn’t, it risks those same social media inciting a civil war (that’s no hyperbole, that is real) on American soil.”

I remember reading that the Arab Spring used social media. Maybe with some help from USA.

The characteristics and incomes of the top 1%
Robert Joyce, Thomas Pope and Barra Roantree
Briefing note
06 Aug 2019
In this briefing note, we use data from HMRC’s income tax records to document some key facts about the highest-income people in the country.
Key findings
To be in the top 1% of income tax payers in the UK (i.e. to be among the 310,000 individuals with the highest income), a taxable income of at least £160,000 is required. £236,000 is required to be in the top 0.5% and nearly £650,000 to be in the top 0.1%. 43% of adults pay no income tax and to be in the top 1% of all adults (or the top 540,000 people), a pre-tax income of at least £120,000 is required.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noblesse_oblige
“nobility obliges” and denotes the concept that nobility extends beyond mere entitlements and requires the person who holds such a status to fulfill social responsibilities.Noblesse oblige, while seeming to impose on the nobility a duty to behave nobly, conveniently provides the aristocracy with an apparent justification for their privilege. This argument is “as nobles, we have rights, but we have duties also; and such duties thereby validate our rights”
Facts …. opinions …. beliefs …. truth ….. Lies ….
“The sharp 1.4% drop in the yuan …..”
Trump wants China to buy USA by asking USA consummers to pay more with tariffs.
China just made it 1.4% more expensive for Chinese businesses to buy USA, or to buy from any other country. USA businesses mfg in China will stay in China and ship to Mexico and have the “Made in China” labels changed to “Made in Mexico”.(If I can think of a “work around” solution then I sure that the actual importers, exporters are way ahead of me in coming up with solutions.)
China wins this round.
The bottom line:
China, like every country, like every individual, must have enough food to eat.If there is a shortage of food, then adjustment are made to reach an equilibrium.
Before the web, I though that I was unique.
Now, with the web, I discover that there are other people who think like me.
Now, I realize that others have thought of the same thing as me and before me.I’m not that smart.

I thought that the normal upward mobile system in the USA was to go from private sector to a gov. cushy job or vise versa.
Also, that people were promoted to their level of incompetency.

Can the regulators inspect all the containers coming into the USA? No.
Can the regulators stop the imports of opioids? No
Do you think that all the USA inspectors of containers are more honest than all the other inspectors in the world?Therefore, why do you think that the exporters cannot remove the “made in China” sticker tag and replace it with “made in Mexico” or “made in Vietnam” sticker tag and avoid the export tarrifs?

HOLES IN THE SUN’S ATMOSPHERE: Earth is about to be strobed by three streams of solar wind–each flowing from a hole the sun’s atmosphere. NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory photographed the gaseous spigots on July 29th:
These are “coronal holes”–places where the sun’s magnetic field peels back and allows solar wind to escape. Coronal holes look dark in extreme ultraviolet images of the sun because glowing-hot plasma normally contained there is missing.
The first of the streams is expected to arrive on Aug 1st, followed by two more in rapid succession on Aug. 4th. Polar geomagnetic unrest and possibly some minor magnetic storms are possible on those dates. High-latitude sky watchers should be alert for auroras, especially in the southern hemisphere where winter darkness favors visibility.Every artists who did a portrait of their versions of angels had a hard time with portraying sexuality.
