Climate catastrophe
This is a controversial topic because a lot of people have strong opinions about it, but in our analysis, there is no scenario which is likely enough to warrant specific preparation. Firstly, the topic is suspect just on account of the fact that catastrophe predictions are very common throughout history, they have a strong cultural draw, and so far none of them have panned out. Furthermore, the stated likelihood and impact of popular climate predictions is such that we should expect to see significant predictive investments in classical financial markets. So far the scale of investments based on climate predictions seems to be fairly modest, so we can conclude that the people whose job is to predict the future, mostly don’t expect anything to happen.

I realized I"d leave my keys at the scene of the crime, or the equivalent.
So in my novel, the criminal group has 3 priorities: DO NOT GET CAUGHT.... but oh, when you do, HAVE A REALLY GOOD STORY!!!!..... and then have *another* really good story underneath... becaues first principal is ASSUME YOU"RE GOING TO GET CAUGHT and plan accordingly.
Especially w/ things like hacking ... use the bank information for charities. Or taking over empty businesses, set off the alarm 10 tmes when the wind is coming hard from the west, or as many times asit takes for them not to check, then... change the locks...

List of aid groups working in #Gaza that Israel is suspending

Updated 10:38 AM EST, December 30, 2025

JERUSALEM (AP) — "Israel says it’s suspending #humanitarian organizations that have failed to meet its new rules to vet international groups working in the #GazaStrip.

"They include some of the world’s most prominent and outspoken aid organizations, including #DoctorsWithoutBorders.

"The suspension begins Jan. 1. International organizations have said Israel’s rules are arbitrary and could endanger staff. Israel has accused militant groups of operating under the cover of international organizations, something the groups deny.

"The Israeli defense body that oversees humanitarian aid to Gaza, COGAT, said that the organizations on the list contribute less than 1% of the total aid going into the Gaza Strip, and that help will continue to enter from organizations that did receive permits to continue operating in Gaza. "

There was this orange stuff in the snow near the sidewalk that I wondered if it was vomit then one day I saw a pumpkin or other orange plant that could be mistaken for a pumpkin on a lawn next to the sidewalk near the orange stuff

This was near Christmas

Maybe people put out pumpkins for halloween then left them out until Christmas

Maybe neighbors dropped squash that was supposed to be for a meal

I saw this orange vomit looking snow covering near 2 apartment complexes on different blocks

Going through my time-capsule of old documents, and found my original 'offer' to work directly for DaimlerChrysler in 1999... In 5 months I went from $18.52/hr to $23.00/hr.

To achieve ~10% pay increase, you often need to LEAVE, or threaten to leave, your current job. You must be confident in your own perseverance and skillset to venture out on that ledge.

Most just complain that they want a raise, but aren't willing to put their job/career on the line for it. RISK begets REWARD.

Some of the Native American Indians started the conflict but 100% of the blame for the conflict in Palestine goes to Ashkenazi and Sephardic Jewish invaders for trespassing & for identity fraud

The Americas had a low population density and a large enough space for white people to peacefully co-exist with Native American Indians if Native American Indians did not attack them

British mandatory palestine was much more limited in territory for the Syrian Palestinian real Israelites

It will likely be an impeachment count if the Democrats get control of the House in this year's election:

Where we have CBS News claiming they will put the viewer first - or is it? A couple videos with the claim and a report later that day that seems to invalidate the claim.

If you want to understand why daycare fraud keeps metastasizing—why it jumps jurisdictions, mutates structures, and survives “oversight”, stop staring at the storefronts and start reading the paperwork. In Ohio, the Somali Education and Resource Center (SERC) sits at the center of a sprawling, multi-entity footprint—dozens of LLCs operating under a nonprofit umbrella, with tens of millions in federal funding flowing through systems the public barely understands.

in reply to YoungBlood

In Minnesota, a Minneapolis nonprofit funded through USDA child-nutrition programs was certified as compliant by an Ohio-based accounting firm. That same firm has since faced serious disciplinary action from Ohio regulators. The interstate connection isn’t a politician. It isn’t a vendor. It’s the compliance layer, the auditors, who are supposed to slam the brakes.
