A 5 point plan to restore America:
1) Eliminate corporate ownership of single family homes.
2) Eliminate stock buy-backs
3) 50% tax on foreign remittances
4) End birthright citizenship
5) End H1-B and the STEM/OPT loophole
Certainly more that could be added, including election to any position can only be attained by native born citizens.

My article about #externalisation describes the problem that responsibilities that should be dealt with from within are being put outside of ourselves, the government, multinationals, countries:
- Manufacturing outside the country.
- Victim mentality.
- Irresponsible pharmaceuticals.
- Screentime and FOMO.
- Religion to substitute consciousness.
The list goes on.

Smile is a brand-new space mission currently in the making. It will study how Earth responds to the solar wind and solar storms.
At the European Space Agency’s technical heart in the Netherlands, engineers have spent the last four months carrying out ‘spacecraft environment testing’ – putting Smile through its paces to make sure it is ready for the shaky rocket launch, the vacuum of space and the extreme temperatures it will face in orbit around Earth.
Now all complete, Smile is one step closer to launch in 2026.
This video provides a glimpse into the testing process. It is the third episode in a series of short videos, and includes interviews with David Agnolon (ESA Smile Project Manager), Chris Runciman (ESA Smile System Engineer), Laura Malena Lottes (ESA Smile Mechanical Engineer), Benjamin Vanoutryve (ESA Smile AIT/AIV and Launcher Interface Principal Engineer), Li Jing (CAS Smile Project Manager), He Tau (CAS Smile Mechanical Engineer) and Zhu Xiaofei (CAS Smile Thermal Engineer).
Smile (the Solar wind Magnetosphere Ionosphere Link Explorer) is a joint mission between the European Space Agency and the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Smile is due to launch on a European Vega-C rocket in 2026. Follow the latest mission news via _[em]esa.int/smile _.[/em]

All its parts have been built and put together. It has been wrapped in shiny gold insulating foil. Its launch is getting closer. But the Smile spacecraft had one major phase to pass before it could be certified ready for space – and it involved testing, testing and yet more testing.

I dreamed last night I was on a cruise and went on a hike. A man stopped next to me because the pathway was too narrow to let oncoming people pass. I thought hey, that’s Tom Petty, and I said “I guess ‘I’ll politely wait my turn until it’s safe to go’ isn’t as catchy a title, huh?” 🤣

E.g. this one — should I use it for painting or maybe a shadow? Or maybe I should hold it for the day of orange cover — because I have a shortage of these?
Seeing the whole calendar I start rearranging the order in advance, so that I have a designated cover for each of them on day 1 😂

@Infoseepage The latter two pictures are of a Russian "copycat" thermite drone that apparently does not dispense very much thermite compared to the Ukrainian ones:
I don't know the size and mass of the Ukrainian ones, but it'd have to be a lot bigger and heavier to produce such large amounts of incendiaries.
@isaackuo @Infoseepage
It's quite possibly an "off the shelf" item, used for on-site welding - especially of railway track. Then you just need a container with a hole in the bottom for the igniter and a suitable heat-resistant lid to protect the drone as it pours molten steel onto the target.
(Someone was selling "NR Grade Thermite" on eBay UK a few years ago - I suspect the NR stood for "Network Rail".)

A Simple Fix for the Healthcare Crisis: Outlaw Insurance
