Got cash? I've got small accounts in a couple different decent banks in case one decides to fold. I won't interact with those caught in fraudulent lending schemes or handling cartel money (mexican not the obvious which is everywhere). That won't last long but it's enough to buy groceries for a few weeks in the meantime. Of course Fed rules could kill all that centrally. Keep in mind this is from one of the good ones.
Received a notice of changes: -Business and person can't be mixed. That's the job of the IRS at tax time. Now local bank tellers are supposed to be enforcers or they lose certification. Turn in your parents and neighbors.
-Special clause by the Office of Foreign Asset Control. Foreign banking fees. I probably can't move my money overseas to become an ex-pat, or send aid to Palestinians as a charity write-off. They are all coming here anyways.
-Mandatory arbitration. Because the bank may have to do something stupid under orders, or run out of physical cash for the mobs.
-Clauses limiting max amounts, or allow delaying for weeks account transfers. At their discretion. You can check but you can never leave. This could fuck a lot of people if banks froze payments of bills.

'Dr. Waleed al-Tabtabai, a former Kuwaiti member of the National Assembly, and a man integrally involved in the fundraising of the Radical Islamic terrorists who invaded Syria and killed thousands of unarmed civilians, was arrested by Kuwaiti authorities on May 12, after he posted on his X account, formerly Twitter.'
I come from the pine barrens which is kind of a messed up place where people carve little towns out of thick deer and tick nests. It is within 3 hours of 7 big cities (a dozen if you count more of north jersey, which we don't even see those as cities or places you would ever go. North Jersey is fairly invisible if you think about it, despite the massive population) and yet you are in a shack in very shite woods.
I moved to NYC and later st Pete. This is where it gets funny. I saw st Pete as a small redneck city of just shit. I felt I had gone to a dead zone and became a disrespectful bastard toward st Pete.
But we recently considered doing more business there and NOW I'm like "the big city huh... we're gonna have to think like cosmopolitans and shit." I see it as fast, too big, too dense and too faggoty. What a shift in perspective across 20 years
When you control the news you control the flow of information. When you control the flow of information you can choose and control the narratives. When you control the narratives you can shape public opinion.
The news is one of their greatest weapons and nothing will get better until they lose that weapon.
I'm having trouble finding good information about this. I'm in a US state currently being affected by pm2.5 that is being blamed on smoke from the Canadian wildfires.
Can someone give me a little background? I'm really wondering if there is a "story behind the story" here. I'm finding that US outlets are at the point of reporting like this is our new normal, and not much is being said in the way of a causal story other than severe drought combined with lightning strikes. I'm very skeptical of things given the climate nonsense, and it just strikes me as very strange that as of last year, spring and summer in Canada just mean 400 raging wildfires sufficient to cover the northern US in smoke and AQI +60 for an entire season of the year.
I'm also noting a conspicuous lack of coverage about this in our news. I don't mean that it isn't being talked about frequently. It's mentioned every day, but never with any journalistic scrutiny. It's just a constant march of planned talking points.
