People are at the precipice.

They aren’t. The majority still sleeps. [SCARE] NECESSARY EVENT.

I see it very differently.
And punched out of a good plane? Should be court-martialed if so, there are other ways to call attention to a problem that will get you fired, don't wreck an aircraft to try and prove a point.
Can’t blame the F235 pilot for being, maybe, a little dis-oriented after landing in a farmer’s yard but that dispatcher must be the newest diversity hire? It’s not like he/she/it isn’t working in a neighborhood with a lot of aircraft activity. Maybe we don’t have the whole call but it sounds like Farmer John doesn’t know where hisself is either. First thing to do with a call for ambulance/rescue assistance is spout off where you are/is/was? There has got to be something in the water in the greater Charleston area.
And then the Marine Corp says the plane might have flown on by itself because it has so much bleeping geewiz stuff built in. My old Piper 140 would do that: fly by itself-— for a lot less than 80 million bucks. That whole F35 program is maybe the worst make-work program for the whole defense industrial cadre ever. Bad enough that we’re spending a billion bucks each to build 50 million dollar submarines. But at least they work until Captain Rub-a-dub plows one into the bottom.
Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.

Well well well, that certainly sheds more light on Zelensky and Ukrainian “values”. I remember early on Abramowitch vocally supported Ukraine.
If you want on or off the ping list send me a FReepMail.
I have already covered most of today's items so I will not rehash them. If anyone has questions I will endeavor to answer them.
Item One:
Chinese stocks continue to under-perform expectations as foreign capital continues its exodus from the PRC. It is estimated that $50B US of capital exited the PRC in August alone. There was an additional $12B US of stock traded on the Shanghai and Hong Kong stock exchanges was sold by foreign investors.
Item Two:
The CCP continues to push its "anti-spying" initiative. The irony and hypocrisy is absolutely lost on the CCP. This is pure deflection from the unrelenting stream of bad news.
Item Three:
Off-balance sheet or 'hidden' debt continues to grow as the lack of land sales stresses local governments. As of 2022 local governments had to pay out about 19% of their budgets in interest. It has only gotten worse.
Item Four:
There is a growing plague of "three-chambered ants" in China. They are not ants but are a type of "rove beetle". This particular beetle is endemic to east Asia. No worries for us. We have our own varieties but not as bad.
Their bodily fluid contains a very strong blister agent. This irritant, pederin, is highly toxic, more potent than cobra venom. Problems occur when the beetle is agitated or crushed against the skin. The blister agent can spread if an affected area comes in contact with other skin. It is supposed to be very painful and slow to heal.
Item Five:
The PRC marriage rate has halved in the past ten years while the divorce rate has risen slowly but continuously. Due to the demographic imbalance caused by the "One-child Policy" and the historically great Chinese preference for sons has left about 35 million more young men than women. This means that the women can afford to be VERY choosy and make income demands that otherwise good marriage prospects can't meet.
This will only steepen the already precipitous demographic decline. A sign that the CCP recognizes the problem they are in is that they a pressuring military men to marry and have all the children they can. Unless the young men have family ties into the CCP most young women aren't interested.

Pinging my list; freepmail to get on/off.
Larry Scwheikart is an excellent historian (even if he doesn’t “get” Q); he was appointed by President Trump along with some other historians to write REAL history textbooks for various educational levels. I get updates like this from him.
Hey American, some times you just have to save yourself
The worst weather disaster in U.S. history occurred in August-September 1900 when a hurricane with winds of 120 mph struck Galveston, Texas, killing over 8,000 persons.
It dumped eight to twelve feet of water and left nearly one-third of the city’s 38,000 people homeless.
Even a train, on its way to Galveston with passengers, was blown off the tracks! Believe it or not, Galveston was prepared for the storm.
Other water-related disasters included the Great Dayton Flood of 1913, but because of several factors, rescuers saved all but about 360 people.
One of the most interesting aspects of the flood was that no government agency—not even the National Guard—was
able to reach Dayton for days.
Instead, Daytonians took it upon themselves to save their neighbors. John Patterson, the head of National Cash Register, turned his cash register company into a boat factory instantly, and as employees made boats, two of them would jump in and immediately begin paddling into the city to rescue people trapped on buildings.
Factory space not dedicated to building boats was turned into a giant relief center.
Two good lessons from this emerge: sometimes, no matter how prepared you are for an emergency, bad things are going to happen. It’s life . . . and death.
Second, the government may not be able to help. There are times in life when you’re going to have to take care of yourself.
I vaguely recall that she horned herself into to the lawyer role for that, but didn’t recall that she took a slice of ownership. Nonetheless, unmerited theft befits her better than diligent lawyering.
Wow! A must-watch. Thanks.
