Plato: Democracy does not contain any force which will check the constant tendency to put more and more on the public payroll. The state is like a hive of bees in which the drones display, multiply and starve the workers so the idlers will consume the food and the workers will perish. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Quotes
- Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule. That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.

Update on my elderly aunt.
She is still in rehab, but the doctors say she needs 24 hour care now. So I have been researching homecare companies in anticipation of her being discharged next week at some point.
Though still relatively alert, she is very much different from a month ago and it is pretty obvious that she has reached a point where her neighbor and me cannot take care of her properly.
So, prayers for wisdom as I set up care at home and for her understanding it is time.

Cranes are critical to your operations, but they come with a high price tag. A single part failure can lead to costly downtime, delayed projects, safety risks, and mounting expenses.
Preventive maintenance isn’t a cure-all, but it’s the most effective way to catch issues before they disrupt your workflow. This checklist targets crane parts, providing a practical, no-fuss guide to keep your equipment in top shape.
A crane’s reliability depends on its components. A worn hook, a frayed rope, or a failing brake can stop operations or cause accidents. The trick is identifying problems early to avoid bigger issues.
These are quick, visual inspections. No tools needed. Perform them before every shift to spot issues early.
These require a bit more time but are manageable with basic tools.
Schedule time for thorough inspections. You may need to order spares from your crane parts supplier.
These are in-depth and require professionals. Your crane parts supplier can provide quality crane parts or recommend certified inspectors.
It’s tempting to skip logs when things are running smoothly, but records are essential. They help identify patterns—like a part failing every few months—and provide documentation for audits or incidents. Your crane parts supplier](crane-spares.com/) can use this data to suggest better components.
Simple log format:
- Date
- Components inspected
- Issues found
- Inspector’s name
- Actions taken
Preventive maintenance relies on access to quality crane parts. A dependable crane parts supplier is key. Choose one who:
- Supplies parts meeting ASME and ISO standards.
- Delivers spares quickly.
- Offers documentation and traceability.
- Understands your crane’s specific requirements.
Your supplier should be a reliable partner, not just a vendor. If they can’t support you during a breakdown, find a better option.
A checklist is only as good as the people using it. Train operators and maintenance staff to spot issues correctly. Hands-on training is far more effective than manuals alone.
A few minutes of daily checks can save weeks of downtime. Stay proactive, fix issues early, and keep your cranes running strong.

NEW: Former CIA analyst nukes CNN in under 2 minutes.
Buck Sexton calls it an “anti-Trump battleship” and a “giant dumpster fire.”
“It has no credibility anymore.”
“There’s a reason CNN… is a giant dumpster fire. It has no credibility anymore because Jeff Zucker allowed it to turn… into an anti-Trump battleship. And guess what happens if you lose? Your battleship gets sunk, and that’s where CNN is. No one should believe that this is an honest network that’s trying to provide facts to the public. That’s an absurdity.”
