Smaller, lighter, less expensive to make and increasingly powerful enough, take my 2020 Yamaha MT03 with its 321cc offset twin engine from the R3 model. With 40 hp and 20 pound-feet of torque, it might be Yamaha's entry level bike, yet as Naked model, it oozes with style, while a top speed of 112 can be reached in 4th gear, it can hum along at 85 MPH for hours on freeway if not the most comfortable highway cruiser, add a butt cushion and taller windscreen if you're going to hit the interstate highways at high speeds :) I traded 2019 Honda Grom SF that I had super tuned to 12 HP, yet only 4 gears and that rust prone small chain drive, it was great around town, sounded fantastic with the full SS race pipe, O2 sensor and power commander, yet the small fuel tank gave it only about 2 hours of endurance, the Yamaha trumps it in every way, especially at speeds above 50 mph. I wanted a Honda CB500F probably better all around than the Yamaha MT03, especially for longer highway trips, but in 2020 covid19 was in full swing with supply chain problems, and that Grom had to go for something more practical, one late night online I found that i90 Motorsports in Issaquah had a Black on Black 2020 Yamaha MT03 for about $6000 all said out the door, we paid less giving up that 19 Grom SF for $1900, so $4100 after the trade, overall. Yet I was reading online about Yamaha MT03 sold in India that sells for $1650 USD when you convert Rupees to US dollars. Digging into the details, no emissions controls and carbureted, the cheaper model sold in India also has a top speed of 88 mph, makes 32 hp and 16 pound feet of torque, and gets worse fuel economy and has foul emissions of HC //
Economic Refugees
Many people think of 3rd world countries, warlords, despot regimes, bad leadership, misappropriated funding, yet when we look at elder poverty, the shrinking middle class, the housing crisis, vehicles average selling price in excess of fifty thousand dollars, increasing government debt, increasing inflation, unfair taxes in many states, tariffs increasing the costs of goods that sell well to regular American people like a new.
A new iPhone after using an older model for 4+ years, faster, better camera, more memory, snappy fluid UI, ongoing software updates, better security and privacy features, better GPU cores & CPU cores & AI cores in the SOC system-on-a-chip main IC or 'the brain' of a smartphone or tablet, noting they have to operate in a smartphone all day with a tiny 10-15 watt-hour lithium ion battery of some chemical combination.
Not all lithium ion batteries are the same, notice lithium titanate can last 55,000 cycle, or LFP lasts 10+ years & 5000 cycles, while NMC or LCO used in consumer electronics has the highest initial capacity but fades hard through 500 cycles, reaching 70% of its initial capacity after 3 years of use in a smartphones, battery fading noted in Nissan Leaf models operated in hot locals like Saudi Arabia, where the higher head loading gave rise to faster loss of battery capacity, of the lithium manganese spinel laminate batteries in aluminum heat sink enclosures, air cooled, but blowing hot air over them.
Sony invented commercially available Li-ion batteries in the early 1990's for the Walk-Man, prismatic cells, they cost in excess of $3600 per kilowatt hour, while Tesla Battery Day tab less cells brought costs of lithium-ion batteries down to $157 per kilowatt hour. The most common kind of early li-ion batteries in consumer electronics lithium cobalt oxide cathode with graphite anode, they put the cathode on aluminum foil, and anode on copper foil, then oily flammable solvents containing synthetic petrochemicals with lithium ions as metal complexes dissolved as the electrolyte.
Lithium in Many Different Chemistries & Formats
Mining lithium means pumping up brine water in the Andes, then pumping it to evaporation pools where income sun and wind blowing over them evaporate water out of the brine, concentrating lithium, which is then collected like salt, then refined to purify it for use in batteries, LFP, NCA, LMN, LCO, any of 12 major commercial lithium ion chemistries, while minor low volume specialized lithium batteries are used in space satellites, that have to endure -250 to + 250 temperatures cycling daily, while operating for 20+ years and tens of thousands of cycles without failure, they are inside laser welded strange alloy tubes under pressure, with exotic thermal management solutions, solar PV energized cryocoolers chilling helium argon refrigerants pumped trough exotic alloy capillary tubes wrapped around every satellite battery, that is also able to keep the cells above 40 F in order to improve electron flow by reducing internal resistance associated with lower temperatures.
Enslaved Children Hand Mine Cobalt
Cobalt mines by children under slave labor conditions in the DRC or Democratic Republic of the Congo, think hand dug by minors, holes in the ground, making cobalt a harmful conflict mineral, yet nearly everyone has cobalt based li-io batteries in electronics they wear on their wrist or carry around in their pocket or purse, blissfully unaware that buying those electronics funds child slave labor abroad.
Lithium Mining Harmful
Meanwhile the indigenous peoples of the Andes in Peru, are losing access to fresh water, of what they do have access to in terms of fresh water now contaminated by acid mine drainage from the lithium mining run by CATL the worlds largest maker of lithium ion batteries, a Chinese company operating in the PRC where there is virtually no value on human life.
Why End the CCP
CCP broadly speaking, if not the worst, one of the worst government in the world. Why do I claim the CCP a horrible government? Hundreds of millions of forced abortions. Zero or almost no mine safety at Chinese coal mines. Tiananmen Square Incident known as the June 4th Incident where the heavy handed money over all other issues CCP send the PLA peoples liberation army of China in with tanks and machine guns and committed genocide of its own people, mostly college students protesting for human rights and democratic reforms of the CCP, then on top of that, a 20 year death campaign hunting down anyone promoting democracy or democratic reforms in China, mostly whom have all gone missing to never be heard from again, probably sent to a Chinese concentration camp for reeducation to learn to worship the premier of the CCP as God, who probably refused and were shot to death for failing to buy into the CCP rhetoric.
China's Economy Faltering
The economy of China falling apart, as noted on the YouTube channel China Observer videos, showing economic devastation, massive layoffs all across China, foreign & domestic investors pulling their money out of China, the government of China grasping at straws trying to make it impossible for companies or investors to leave China, yet this is backfiring, fueling further resentment of the CCP and scaring any potential investors away from China.
International Investment Moving Out of China
Looking to up and coming Asian Tigers or India or Africa or Central or South America, so called developing economies looking to improve their GDP with an increasing in manufacturing value added goods for a revenue stream creation via export based economic development.
Similar to what Japan did between 1960 and 1997, a virtually endless stream of economic miracles based on a public private consortium of technological development that spawned famous Japanese brands like Seiko, Sony, Toshiba, Mitsubishi, Toyota, Honda & many more.
Even inside of China, WeChat and Alibaba are looking abroad, to escape unreasonable laws of the CCP, hemorrhaging workforce lack of labor access, increasing costs of operating in many Chinese cities, and lax regulations and cheaper labor outside of China. When the most valuable companies in China are broadly outsourcing abroad, and investors from abroad are moving capital out of China and into newer emergent economies of Asian Tiger countries, India, Africa, South America, where labor plentiful, were wages are lower, and where regulations are lax or virtually non-existent.
Fuel $6 USD per US Gallon, In American Cities where a Car, Truck or SUV the Only Practical Way of Getting Around
Many families in USA live in a home that requires a vehicle to access, to go to and from the home, especially with a load from Costco, or a few heavy grocery bags, and while a tiny fractions of the population able to walk with a heavy bag of groceries in a backpack and one in each hand, walking 4 or more miles loaded up like this, especially if topography means a steep hill to scale or hike to get home, this is not practical for the overwhelming vast majority of Americans in most American cities.
Americans Cities Designed around Cars
Taking this into account, the way many American cities, roads, highways were developed after the end of World War 2, centered around automobile use, thus in part Americans are automotive enthusiasts at some level, for without a car, truck or SUV it can be nearly impossible to be a full functioning high functioning participating member of society or a real person, I am not talking about bums living under a bridge in a tent without sanitation.
Automobiles for real Americans
I am talking about the working class, middle class, upper class, from broke to rich, from wealthy to poor, be that in a studio apartment or a giant single family home in suburbia, having an automobile of some kind or at least access to use one, means most American's as a family own more than one car, truck or SUV.
Higher Gasoline Prices are Hurting Families
Therefor since most Americans have to drive cars, fuel prices strongly affect the budgets of working American families, even just to get to school or back, even if the kids ride the bus, the bus fueled by diesel, and battery electric buses are not affordable to most school districts.
Energy the "Bang:" or "Zap" or "Sizzle" that "Makes it Happen" USA Style
Look, electricity, gasoline, hot water, AC, furnace, lighting, TV, charging your smartphone or BEV, refueling your car, truck or SUV, or how to fuel aircraft or ships or class 8 trucks that move nearly everything along with diesel-electric hybrid railroads and giant ships, containers, 20 or 4 foot painted steel shipping containers, we are talking about mega logistics with billions of containers moving of tons of food, clothing, and all other life's basics.
Transportation of Commodities Around America
Consumables like toilet paper, bullets, cotton swabs, facial tissues, towels, carpeting, tires, appliances, you name it, pens, pencils, guns, ammo, electronics, furniture, so much that truckers are called the unsung Heros of America, and nearly all of those container moving trucks require diesel fuel.
Comparing Diesel, Kerosine & Jet Fuel
Jet fuel that runs passenger and cargo aircraft called Jet A very chemically similar to diesel or kerosine, with the addition of special synthetic lubricants since aircraft are similar to 2 stroke chainsaw engines in the sense that the turbine engines burn some of their lubricating oil with the fuel to enhance the operating lifetime of the engines even though it makes the non-emissions controlled chemical pollutants emitted by aircraft engines more harmful to people and nature.
Industry Pays Less than You or I for Fuel
Oh, Airlines get to buy fuel for around 1 dollar per US gallon, about 4 to 6 times less expensive than what your forced to pay at the gas pump. School districts get to buy diesel fuel for under $3 per gallon without taxes added, and do not be fooled by tricky rhetoric, the state of whatever only Applies $.49 of gasoline tax, when in reality, there are 9 other special taxes added that raise the price from $3.20 per gallon to over $6 per gallon, the specific gas tax disclosed on the tip of a layered tax iceberg.
Cancer Costs $400 Billion Annually (In Just Healthcare Spending) CANCER #CANCER #cancer Disease of the Century
If all cells of the body have to be replaced, and cancer cells become immortal when they should have died and become recycled with autophagy processes, then what is known about what causes cells to lose self-death regulatory control mechanism, known as apoptosis.
Help us Ban Toxic Pesticides, When Safer Cheaper Systemic Pesticides Sterilize the Pest Species with 99% less Chemical Applied
Ban Neurotoxic Organophosphate Pesticides from Food Crop Applications
Many farmers have lost loved ones to strange cancers, then read warning labels on bags of synthetics they have been using for pest management, frustrated, they had no idea these were acute human toxins, linked in evidence from high quality science research to being causal factors in many disease pathologies.
Regenerative Agriculture Practices Then Adopted
USDA sends scientists to farms to help owners of farms implement sustainable soil practices that boost productivity in terms of bushels per acre, without expensive chemicals with toxic exposure side effects
Systemic Pesticide Sterilizes Pest Species with 99% Less Chemical Applied
US Federal pesticide law amended in 1996, deal struck to repeal the Delaney Clause's ban on cancer-causing pesticides in processed foods in exchange for a provision mandating the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to conduct cumulative risk assessment, arguing that new law would force the end of highly neurotoxic organophosphate insecticides, a goal that has never been achieved. Organophosphate pesticides are widely used in agriculture, landscaping, and mosquito control, despite the known damage that the chemical causes to the nervous system and brain of humans, disproportionately harming small children and elderly people more because of smaller kidneys and livers in little kids, and decreased functions of the liver and kidneys in older adults, so our most important members of society are being harmed more by synthetic pest management chemicals, when safer systemic pesticides that sterilize the pest species work with thousands of times less chemical applied, only once applied, that prevent the pest species from reproducing, effective birth control or sterilization of pest species, slashes the use of toxic chemicals used to control pests, from thousands of dollars per acre, to use a few hundred dollars for thousands of acres protected as the pest species sterilized.
On Social Media, Tell Legislative People, "Please Ban Toxic Pesticides"
Encourage System Pest Sterilization
Tell Congress, FDA, and EPA that it is past time to stop the manufacture and use of all organophosphate pesticides, which damage the nervous system and brain, even at low levels of exposure, even tiny amounts of residues of these exceedingly toxic substances end up in the human body when people eat foods contaminated with these chemicals that do not wash off or become inactive when cooked, they are persistent harmful pollutants that damage nature, harm wildlife, and are analogs of chemical weapons that destroy the human nervous system.
Public Health Broadly Assaulted, Ozone Layer Damage Means More Skin Cancer
We are getting hit with microplastics, more UV from the sun because of Ozone layer damage from CFC released from pressurized canisters and leaking ac and fridge systems, disused, old, damaged, corroded, eventually all devices containing refrigerant gases leak, and these substances used as refrigerant gas are toxic to people and nature and react in the stratosphere not only with enormous greenhouse gas effect, but they also chemically react with the ozone layer, effectively deactivating the ozone layer, which doubles the amount of skin harmful, eye damages UV that reaches the surface of earth where people are exposed to higher UV levels as a result of CFC released, often unintentionally, but inevitably.
How about Isotopes, Radioactive Heavy Metals, Released from Nuclear Weapons Testing
Firmly established that asbestos exposure causes a specific kind of lung cancer, yet we see isotopes released by nuclear weapons testing causes a spike in cancers associated with exposure to those exact isotopes, e.g. radioactive heavy metals, and I am not even touching on DU rounds shot out of aircraft mounted machine gun multi barrel rapid fire volcan cannons. How about the radioactive and heavy metals released in coal power emissions. That miracle fireproofing asbestos turned out to be a giant public health harming debacle, even Johnson & Johson now being hit with thousands of lawsuits after it was made public that J&J has known since the 1950s that talc they have been using in baby powder contaminated with asbestos.
Slips through the Cracks, Leaking Refrigerant Gases, CFC's
Who carefully manages old disused AC systems or old disused fridges, how can we expect to recover chlorofluorocarbon refrigerant gases that easily leak and float away into the stratosphere where they further damage the ozone layer, making UV levels even higher over time, so more skin cancer melanoma. When tires on your car wear away the tread, all that volcanized rubber forms the largest emitter of microplastics, known as tire tread erosion products.
Organophosphate Pesticides are Nerve Agent Chemical Weapons
Exposure to Organophosphates blocks brain from breaking down acetylcholine, which hyper activates neurons until they start dying, a processed that causes extreme brain damage with even tiny amounts of exposure.
It is firmly established that widely used organophosphate pesticides in food production and other sites are severely toxic to a broad range of organisms. In what is known as their “classic” mechanism of action, they inhibit acetylcholinesterase (AChE), an enzyme that breaks down the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh), particularly in neuromuscular junctions in the brain. Exactly the same way as many toxic chemical weapons.
Nazi Scientists Invented Organophosphates as Nerve Agents
Organophosphates are nerve agents, originally developed by the German company IG Farben (a conglomerate that included Bayer), which was “inseparably linked with the Nazi regime” and the Auschwitz concentration camp, as described by BASF, also a part of IG Farben.
Elaborate Loopholes Allow Toxic Organophosphate Use in Agriculture
The 1996 federal law, the Food Quality Protection Act, did not ban organophosphates, however, EPA negotiated many new restrictions that reduced the number of uses but still allowed widespread use and exposure. These restrictions established new risk assessment protocols that replaced the 1958 Delaney Clause's ban on cancer-causing pesticides in processed food under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, which authorizes the Secretary of Health and Human Services to set pesticide tolerances (acceptable residues) for food commodities.
States Have Banned Organophosphate
Meanwhile, in the absence of a comprehensive ban on organophosphates, states in 2018-2021 began to weigh in on an individual organophosphate pesticide, chlorpyrifos, that was making national headlines because of its neurotoxic properties, adverse effects on the brain, and widespread use in food production. For example, five states used their authority to adopt more stringent standards than the federal government by banning the chemical in California, Hawai'i, Maine, Maryland, and New York.
US Never Ratified the Stockholm Convention in Congress
Prior to state action, in 2000, EPA had negotiated chlorpyrifos's voluntary withdrawal from the residential market with its manufacturer, Dow AgroSciences. (See more background at Pesticide Gateway on Pesticide Hazards and Safe Pest Management and here.) Internationally, the 12th meeting of the Conference of the Parties (COPs) to the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (Stockholm Convention) added chlorpyrifos to Annex A, which commits the 186 signatory countries to eliminate production and use. The United States is not a party to the Stockholm Convention because the treaty has never been ratified by Congress.
Developmental Delays in Children, Lower IQ Scores
The new study showing adverse developmental effects to children's brains builds on earlier scientific work, a call from medical practitioners in 2018, and Congressional legislation to ban organophosphates. A group of leading toxics experts, who have called for a ban on organophosphate pesticides, published a paper in the journal PLOS Medicine on their research on organophosphate exposure during pregnancy and its impacts on child development.
They Harm Pregnant Women & the Fetus Even More
"There is compelling evidence that exposure of pregnant women to very low levels of organophosphate pesticides is associated with lower IQs and difficulties with learning, memory or attention in their children," said lead author Irva Hertz-Picciotto, PhD, professor of public health sciences, director of the University of California Davis Environmental Health Sciences Center, and researcher with the UC Davis MIND Institute, according to Science Daily.
Science Clear about Toxicity of Organophosphates
The study in PLOS Medicine evaluates current science on the risks of this class of compounds, produced by Corteva Agriscience (formerly Dow AgroSciences); its conclusions warn of the multitude of dangers of organophosphates for children, and makes recommendations for addressing these risks. The experts conclude that: (1) widespread use of organophosphate (OP) pesticides to control insects has resulted in ubiquitous human exposures; (2) acute exposures to OPs is responsible for poisonings and deaths, particularly in developing countries; and (3) evidence demonstrates that prenatal exposures, even at low levels, put children at risk for cognitive and behavioral deficits, and for neurodevelopmental disorders.
Harming Farm Workers & their Families Even More
Then there is the matter of disproportionate risk to farmworkers and farmworker children, who suffer elevated rates of harm from organophosphate pesticides, a classic example of environmental injustice or institutionalized racist public health and environmental policy. According to a 2024 study published by French and American authors in the journal Exposure and Health, not only do farmworker children test positive for organophosphate pesticides more frequently than non-farmworker children, but farmworker children also experience an increased frequency of DNA damage associated with the presence of organophosphate exposure. These results highlight the disparities in exposures and outcomes for children from vulnerable immigrant communities. Advocates note that as long as pesticides remain in use, farmworkers and their families will continue to shoulder a disproportionate share of the toxic effects of these chemicals.
More Evidence Organophosphates Harm Fetus of Pregnant Women
A California-based population study published in BMC Public Health finds that “7.5 [percent] of all pregnant people in California who gave birth in 2021 lived within 1 km [kilometer] of agricultural fields where OP pesticides [organophosphates] had been used during their pregnancy. . .” As reported in Daily News, significant disparities are found for elevated exposure to pesticides, “with Hispanic/Latinx, young people, and residents of the predominantly fruit and vegetable growing Central Coast region being most likely to live near OP pesticide applications during pregnancy.”
U.S. Representative Nydia Velázquez (D-NY), who is retiring from Congress at the end of the current Congress, reintroduced the “Ban All Neurotoxic Organophosphate Pesticides from Our Food Act” or ''BAN OPs From Our Food Act,” H.R. 5554, in 2023. “We've known for decades that organophosphate pesticides are a dangerous neurological threat to farmworkers and our children,” said Congresswoman Velázquez. “These pesticides during early life have been linked to irreversible harm to the developing brain, which can result in long-term effects like attention disorders, autism, and reduced IQ. We can no longer wait to act. I'm proud to have introduced this legislation which will finally ban the use of these hazardous pesticides.” The bill is very straightforward, free of exemptions, waivers, and special circumstances, and allows formulations:
“SEC. 2. PROHIBITION ON USE OF ORGANOPHOSPHATES ON FOOD. Section 402 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 342) is amended by adding at the end the following: ''(j) If it bears or contains any organophosphate pesticide, including any residue of an organophosphate pesticide, or any other added substance the presence of which is primarily as a result of the metabolism or other degradation of an organophosphate pesticide, regardless of whether any tolerance or exemption with respect to organophosphate is in effect under section 408.''
The bill has been supported by Beyond Pesticides and groups including Earthjustice and United Farm Workers, UFW Foundation, California Rural Legal Assistance (CRLA) Foundation, Alianza Nacional de Campesinas, Farmworker Association of Florida, Farmworker Justice, GreenLatinos, Labor Council for Latin American Advancement, League of United Latin American Citizens, Learning Disabilities Association of America, Natural Resources Defense Council, Pesticide Action Network North America, and Pineros y Campesinos Unidos del Noroeste.

Big tech uses clever EULA "End User Licensing Agreements" that upon 1st activation of a new device you must click "OK" "I Have Read" or "I Agree" to the terms and conditions described in long winded legal jargon that few if anyone actually reads completely and or slowly enough to actually make sense of what they are agreeing too.
Selling Your Soul to Satan
In most cases, saying "yes, I agree" at the first startup of a new electronic device, you, the user, are giving some large tech company invasive legal rights to own and control anything you do on your device, images, messages, videos, music, browsing history, you are giving away all your personal legal rights and all your privacy of any kind to a for profit, sociopathic, revenue focused, cringy, capitalistic, corporation that has divergent or strange motifs or motivations that probably do not align with your life or rights or legal rights or human rights or right to privacy, liberty or justice, instead your letting arrogant sleazy evil people who worship money to digitally pimp you in a variety of disturbing, inappropriate, disgusting ways.

Greedy Capitalism Rules the Big Tech World
It is all about the money if you summarize at the highest levels, in part because elections are so expensive, they only people who can donated enough money for anyone to become a diplomat, is if they take money from big tech companies in exchange for special favors, which in many cases amount to rubber stamping laws written by lobbyists working for big tech, noting Amazon.com has 1151 lobbyists, can you imagine what that giant e-commerce monopoly that controls 95% of all online sales in the G20 is actively doing to keep itself in that cringy immoral position?

Older Laptop Keeps Working
I am typing up this blog posting on an acer laptop from 2014 that was purchased at Costco for $650 US2014, if we adjust for inflation, $650 in 2014 equal to $914.36 in 2026, incredibly my vastly higher performance ASUS F17 gaming laptop in 2020 was only $999. Notice how with computers with time, you get more bang for your buck even as inflation slowly continually steals your buying power. I remember seeing a 3MB hard drive for sale for $999 at a computer store in Seattle, in the early 1990s as a kid, riding in the back seat of my friend Alex's mothers car, a 1990 Honda Accord sedan. At the computer history museum at Intel's corporate headquarters in California, you can see hard drives the size of a clothes washing machine that cost $300,000 US in 1960, or millions of dollars in todays funny fiat currency.

Today most laptops, tablets and smartphones have solid state storage, that means they safe your photos, videos, documents or other content on triple Nand-flash, SSD technology, often part of the SOC on a Smartphone, though dedicated memory chips are used for expanded storage, and SSD's have high performance controller chips to move data IO at incredible speeds locally on your device.
Killing for Self Defense, Home Defense, To Stop a Home Invasion, To Stop Crime, To Multiple Force, Guns
Guns are a major component of American culture, along with Automobiles, otherwise known as cars, trucks or SUV's. Engines as in piston engines, a 2L 4-cylinder the most common example, aluminum alloy block and head, liquid cooled, fuel injected, turbocharged, naturally aspirated, emission controlled, in passenger cars, mass produced.
Guns and engines operate in a similar way, a chemical reactions shoves metal down a tube, in the engine this is gasoline reacting with oxygen's electrons making CO2 and Water Vapor although some side reactions with nitrogen create trace emissions of exhaust pollutants, which are largely converted to safer emissions after passing over a hot aluminum ceramic honeycomb coated in slurry of catalytic metals known as a catalytic converter.
Emissions controls along with upstream and downstream O2 EGT voltage sensors, works with the ECU, crank case vapor into intake oily funk, EGR takes some exhaust gas into intake to lower combustion temperature, while ethylene glycol in water with some corrosion inhibitors forms coolant pumped through the engine block to keep the alloy cool, waste heat moved to the radiator where air moving across it by electric fan or by air forced through it when the vehicle traveling to speed, takes the waste heat of the engine and transfers it to the air, effectively increasing entropy or the slow heat death of the world.
55-75% of gasolines chemical energy content lost as exhaust heat, radiator head ejection, friction in parts that rub in the engine, head, or transaxle that moves engine power to the wheels via tires to the road. Road tire friction allows propulsion as the engine power output to translates into acceleration, often through an automatic transmission, because the engine only produces peak torque or efficiency or power at a specific range of RPM, while the vehicle itself has to travel from zero speed stopped to as fast as 85 MPH in some freeway or highway locations in the USA or even faster on the Autobahn of Germany.
Why does an ICE powered vehicle need a transmission, CVT, DCT, Manual, Automatic, or Sequential, because the vehicle has to vary it's speed from zero to very high speeds, while the engine only makes good power at a narrow range of RPM or revolution speeds, known as a power band, its the range of revolutions per second where peak torque, peak horsepower, or peak thermal efficiency achieved.
Back to guns, in a bullet a pressure sensitive explosive in the primer cap struck by a metal pin, such that the anvil inside the cap compresses the explosive, causing it to detonate blowing a hot jet of burning gas into the nitrocellulose smokeless powder, which though combustion of the powder produces tens of thousands of PSI of pressure behind the bullet, which imparts expansion pressure to shove the bullet down the rifled barrel with spiral groves cut along its length like a screw with few threads, to impart spin stabilization which improves bullet trajectory, improving accuracy of the weapon, so when you aim and fire the bullet goes approximately at exactly what you were aiming at as the shooter.
In the engine, after gasoline combusts in air, the expanding hot combustion gas in the work stroke 3rd of 4 strokes in an Otto cycle engine, forces the piston with ring sealing down the cylinder of the block, though its wrist pin and connector rod translates work to the crank shaft in a way that your legs apply power to the pedals of a bicycle, & by combining multiple pistons firing at offsets, a more continual power output created, thus 1 cylinder engines are thumpy, 2 can be much more stable, 3 can be even more stable, 4 even better, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, there are many engine configurations.
In all ICE engine examples work performed by gasoline combustion happens after the engine 1st sucks in air, 2nd squeezes the air, 3rd after piston reaches top dead center, the spark plug makes a hot welding like arc of electric plasma which provides the energy of activation to ignite the fuel and air mix, which hot expanding combustion forces the pistons down the tubes, the way a gun uses chemical combustion pressure to shove a bullet down a tube, do you see the analogy between guns and piston engines now?
Both Cars and Guns are wildly popular in America, which is a very large and very spread out relative low population density country overall. Guns are essential for hunting, EDC, home protection, law enforcement, military, and ICE engines running on gasoline or diesel, especially in Class 8 trucks that move containers, but also diesel electric railroads that move mega mass of containers around America, and in Ships that move containers, while in most suburbs, rural areas, outside of perhaps NY, NY, a working American needs a car, tuck or SUV of some kind, as a privately owned passenger vehicle the only practical way of getting around in a time efficient manner, noting that public bus can work if you live on the route and a stop near your workplace also on that same route and does not require a time vampire transfer.
The bus probably also, even if Hybrid, fueled by diesel, noting large displacement industrial diesel engines with gear camshafts and common rail direct injection, make enormous torque at lower RPM, in mining machines, in vehicles of all kind, noting there is not enough lithium in the world to build new versions of every vehicle battery electric like a Tesla model whatever, and that Battery Electric cars require 5X more copper, and produces 10x more tire tread erosion products, noting that BEV's are not eco-friendly, cars are industrial and producing vehicles requires broad global industrialization which through air, & water pollution ends up killing millions of people with preventable diseases, making pollution of all kinds like a global chemical holocaust, so in other words, there is no free lunch in physics.
Shooting at a Mosque, Yet Many Christian Churches have been Burned Down
Killing in the name of, a song by Rage Against the Machine, January 6th Insurrection in Washington DC, FBI investigation of DSHS fraud in Minnesota, Criminals from abroad immigrating to USA illegally, claiming Political asylum, when we have religious freedom in America enshrined in the constitution, each person in America gets to find their spiritual path to God or not, it was the first amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America, that I have a sworn duty to protect from enemies foreign or domestic to protect the rights, liberties, freedom, and justice in America.
Crime Wrong, Bad, Evil, & Morally Repugnant
Especially when politically motivated, not for America, not in the USA, we can talk out our differences as people, we never need to devolved into killing in the name of anything, America is not the world police, do whatever you want, do your own thing, go your own way, be you the best way you figure out how to do.
But observe and respect the human rights of other people, who are just like you legally, and figuratively go their own way in all ways in life or lifestyle, and you and no one else can tell anyone else the best way to live, for if you knew, you would be doing that yourself. The ultimate form of flattering you, if someone copies your lifestyle an ways of living, for that means they are acknowledging that you know a better way to live and choose to copy you because they like the way you live and seek to emulate you since you are showing them a better way to live that they agree with.
Defending the Constitution of the USA
I take protecting the US Constitution very seriously, because America unique in the world as a nation where you can be agnostic, atheist, Christian, Muslim, Bahi, Jewish, whatever you want, you get to choose what you believe, how you live, what you wear, where you work, what kind of car you drive or not, where you live, and many other aspects of life, such as what to eat or drink, no one knows anyone well enough to give absolutely correct personal lifestyle advice, which would have to be bespoke or custom for every person, because we are all slightly different as people, genetics, epigenetics, diet, sleep schedule, and on and on.
Every Person Unique or Special
In a woke liberal SJW term, every person a unique special snowflake, even if the truth that all people have a lot in common, overall. That is not to suggest that there exists a one size fits all anything, as peoples shape and size vary considerably, from a tiny young child, to the strongest biggest adult man, to an anorexic runway model, or a middle age VR kickboxing enthusiast like me, who balances hiking, walking, cycling and VR kickboxing inside during any weather any time of day, it was after a muscle injury in my back about 3 years ago at 162 lbs that Dr. Spring told me to eat more protein, doing some kind of resistance training, add creatine to my daily protein shake.
Age 42 I put on 20lbs of mostly Muscle, VR Kickboxing 212 sessions So Far
I was able to put in about 20lbs of mostly muscle, some fat, my waist size stayed the same, I wear a 32x32 jeans, since I was 20 years old. Consider the Metabo law of Japan, that reduced heart diseases related obesity significantly. Willing to do almost anything within reason to stay physically fit as I age, I reset the idea of becoming overweight or fat, as I have seen that ruin the lives of my adoptive mother and her natural IVF daughter, both of whom suffered extensively with lost mobility, diseases of many kinds, through abusing junk food, fast food, snack food, sugary bliss point engineering industrial ultra processed foods.
Fentanyl From China, Perdue Opioid Debacle, Overdose Deaths, Killing the Young Adults in America
Right from the DEA website, Mexican criminal cartels traffic Chinese made Fentanyl into America. CCP claims flooding America with Fentanyl retribution for the Opium Wars that caused intense problems in China.
Yet America was not responsible for the Opium problems in China, the CCP as usual likes to scapegoat USA, obviously jealous of the USA, members of the CCP are gold worshiping heathens who only care about increasing the GDP of China even if that involves hurting or killing Chinese people in China.
Dangerous Deadly CCP Coal Mines
Noting that a virtually complete lack of any mine safety at Chinese coal mines, where burning coal the dirtiest and most polluting way of making heat to make electricity, releasing heavy and radioactive elements in fly ash emitted along with particles of all sizes, oxides of nitrogen and sulfur, foul stinky, but also the cheapest way of making electricity in terms of initial costs even if it creates all sorts of long term fallout and harms of incredible increasing costs.
Coal Energized CCP Industrialization
They have been building new thermal coal power plants in China, almost one new project per week for years to increase electrical power production to rapidly industrialize faster than any other country in the history of the world, including record breaking scale of industrialization.
China Outsourcing to Asian Tigers
In the documentary film "Manufactured Landscapes" video of factories in China, as the worlds manufacturing hub of all the bestselling "Made in China" gold-colored oval stickers applied to indicate manufacturing location of these goods. Yet today we see China outsourcing manufacturing to so called Asian Tiger economies like Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, the Philippines, where regulations are lax, labor cheaper, and the governments are eager to setup contract manufacturing to build out their economies and boost GDP!
Crypto 2026 $ Trillions of Dollars, Visa, Amex, Mastercard, Discover (4 Major Credit Cards)
Did you know national banks, commercial banks, lenders, insurance companies, and investors worldwide are flocking to blockchain technology to lower transaction costs and improve security & transaction authentication.
Ai Training Paradox in Blockchain & Crypto
Artificial intelligence extensively used to identify fraud in crypto currency commercial blockchain transactions, yet legacy credit cards offer up to $250K of per transaction protection if fraud happens to your credit card, and no method exists with BTC or Stable Coin or Ethereum to provide consumer purchase protection or fraud protection. Financial institutions are working on adding transaction protections to cryptocurrency purchases. From vehicle to home titles blockchain verification used to authenticate ownership & verify transactions when an asset sells, be that a commercial building or land or machines or ships or aircraft or trains or boats, to combat title fraud, a financial scam that hackers use to steal peoples most expensive things.
3rd World Online Fraud Increasing
One problem with giving online access to 3rd world countries like Somalia, lack of opportunities for legitimate jobs cause many to turn to fraudulent employment that operates mostly to scam elderly people in the G20 with elaborate computer, phone, text message scams, malware, fishing websites, ransomware, computer viruses, so bridging the digital divide might sound noble or morally superior, yet it creates more online fraud.
Electrical Expense Exploding
Energy consumption for computing crypto along with ai training produce grip power bottlenecks that make power outages even more painful and expensive. Long duration blackouts are already deadly to people, if electrical power offline for more than 8 days most people lose the entire content of their fridge, that spoils or melts.
Power Outages Deadly
Hospitals spend hundreds of millions on power backup systems, large diesel generator sets with huge fuel tanks, battery banks for instant switch UPS functions of critical devices & machines, to keep the oxygen flowing, defibrillator system, surgery lights, autoclaves to sterilize tools, and on and on, almost unimaginable to operate a modern hospital without electricity.
CME Coronal Mass Ejection
Carrington Event caused a worldwide electrical storm when morse code was the dominate form of electrical communication, now there are trillions of times more wires of all kinds, so the same kind of electrical storm from a CME hit from the Sun today ablet to wreak broad worldwide devastation. If you have a backup generator in storage.
Foil Wrap Dry Generate Unopened in Retail Box
I suggest wrapping in in thick layers of aluminum foil, secured with metal straps, forming a faraday cage around it, so that it will work, when you add oil and gasoline, after unboxing it, during a worldwide CME based electrical blackout for weeks or months. Store engine oil, funnel for adding it, fuel, spare spark plug & spark plug tool, all with the generator, including the generators manual in sealed plastic bag. Wrap all of that gear in a dry bag, then tape it to the foil wrapped generator box. This is known as a firm power backup solution.
Backup Generator Fuel Storage
If you store fuel, gasoline for it, make sure to add fuel stabilizer to the gasoline storage container, it extends the shelf life of gasoline from 3 months to 2 years. If you have propane dual fuel generator, propane in clean non corroded tank in dry storage can last for hundreds of years, as the longest lasting backup fuel option Diesel fuel can store for up to 10 years.
Foil Hat Stops Microwave Attacks
People wearing aluminum foil hats were called crackpots, but it turns out that during a microwave attack, putting a foil hat over your head, blocks the microwave signals, stopping the screeching loud noise and sensation of your head being on fire.
Think more of a full face motorcycle helmet sprayed with adhesive then carefully applied strips of aluminum foil are applied like roofing, with much overlap to electrically bond each strip to its neighbor, & the face shield can be a gold foil sun blocking model that also halts RF effectively.
You could use 24K gold foil to make a bespoke Trump "gilded" like helmet that blocks microwaves, but aluminum or copper foil are vastly more affordable, you could also use platinum foil, palladium foil, nickel foil, tin foil, steel foil, any thin electrically conductive metal foil forming a faraday cage around a full face helmet will provide microwave attack protection to your brain, ears, eyes, nerves in your face, & brain, effectively foiling the microwave attack, pun intended.
Broken Laws, Kangaroo Court, Elite Have Different Justice
If you or I defrauded millions of people out of billions of dollars, we would be in federal prison right now, and with a long sentence, no possibility of parole or early release, but when Richard Fuld of Lehman Brothers did exactly this, he leveraged the company using RECO 105 accounting tricks, to a 40 to 1 ratio, pioneering CDO MBD sales of subprime loans bundled as Housing Bonds, causing the 158 year old company to fold, ultimately kicking off a series of market collapses that caused the 2008 US Mortgage Market Debacle, which due to worldwide investing in these falsely AAA rated securities had infested the international investment market, such that by 2011 more than 30 million people lost their jobs as a result of what Mr. Fuld was doing as CEO of Lehman brothers, probably the most arrogant and dumbest person alive, as evidenced in the failure of Lehman Brothers under his leadership and the resulting worldwide market failures that Lehman's bankruptcy triggered.
So why do normal people go to prison for minor financial crimes, when Elite do far worse defrauding many more people, like the Wolf of Wallstreet, or his Bernard Madoff or Worldcom or Enron, how many giant scams run by Elite who personally profit hundreds of millions of dollars while millions of other people lose all their investment money as a result of the fraud that benefited the Elite.
Elon Musk makes broken promises about FSD reaching L5 autonomous now 10+ years on, only 2.7 best case
We have SpaceX IPO at 1.75 trillion dollars, yet Star Link has many competitors with faster IO and better pricing and better services and better customer service, noting Tesla ranks amongst the worst companies for customer service, a friend of mine K got a Tesla Model Y for her birthday, brought it in for a service the dashboard told her it needed, to the local Bellevue Tesla service center, and they said "Sorry, we cannot help you, your name is not on the account, because her husband had purchased it and set up the account and has a different name for professional reasons, so K said you can take my Model Y and shove it up your ass, I am not going to be denied service of my vehicle because of your shit poor customer service" and indeed, they litigated against Tesla who after the lawsuit was over, was forced to buy back the used Model Y at full price" and K is allowed to post factual truth about her horrid experience as a Telsa customer online on any social media platform, and said I can share her story online anywhere also to shame Tesla for their shitty customer service.
Looking Past Macros, Micronutrients, Minerals, Vitamins, Antioxidants, Anthocyanins (Color in Real Foods)
Standard American Diet (SAD) incredibly composed of almost 70% ultra processed foods made with any of many thousands of chemical food additives such as artificial colors linked to many disease pathologies, the NIH and WHO high quality peer reviewed evidence-based studies showing high UPF consumption linked to 32 different diseases in medicine and physiological science.
If we go to the Aboriginal people of Australia, who hunted and ate bushmeat, seasonal fruits and vegetables, when westerners introduce processed foods, soda, alcohol, sugar, salt, bliss point engineered snack and junk and fast foods, the Aboriginal populations that adopted western diets also became sick with all the diseases associated with so called Diseases of Civilization that Plague the American broken private healthcare system with increasing costs and lack of access, some diabetic people dying of high blood sugar because they lack access to insulin, which has been partially corrected by companies that make and sell insulin or analogs of insulin, which is a fat storage hormone.
Effectively when you eat sugar, starch or carbohydrate this raises blood sugar levels, the body then signals the pancreas to release insulin which imports glucose into cells, in other words, eating too much sugar, starch or carbs fattening, in agriculture they fatten up animals by given them sugars, starches and carbs, while protein and fats are not fattening, noting that proteins are made of amino acids the building blocks of all parts of flesh in the body, and fat or lipids are a superior fuel for the body to make energy with, but fats are also used to make hormones and other regulatory molecules, including glial cells and neurotransmitters.
Many people are depressed because they are not eating enough healthy Omega 3 fats and are eating 20X too much Omega 6 and Omega 9 from rape seed oil called Vegetable Oil confusingly, sold in clear plastic jugs, mild flavor, cheapest oils sold in stores, almost all restaurants cook with this cheap oil, which I would partially ban by applying a steep tax to increase the price so that butter, ghee, olive oil and healthier alternatives would sell for lower prices and sell better as a result, including tallow or animal fat, noting how bacon and eggs were a common breakfast food when America was a lot healthier before people started eating industrial breakfast cereals made of GMO grains flavored and colored with artificial chemicals.
Think about Micro's, Micronutrients, Minerals & Vitamins
Consider fasting a couple times a year, only water, more water, no food for a few days, look up True North in California about Science of Fasting, noting that fasting mentioned in the Bible 71 times. Jesus even saying "When you fast, pray also" that fasting and prayer are a potent healing combination.
Motorcycle Wheels act as Gyroscopic Stabilization
Wheel, tire, brake rotor, sprung mass on hydraulic suspension front & rear, along with the curved surface of motorcycle tires that continue making road contact when leaning into corners pulling the frame down, putting inner knee pad down, think MotoGP racing, riders using 200+ horsepower superbikes that cost millions, special tires made of exotic expensive polymers, balancing grip softness with toughness that holds up safely, noting another balance between tire wear rate, dry grip performance and temperature performance, they even preheat tires in motorsports to soften the tires to enhance grip vs room temperature.
In effect, when riding a motorcycle at higher speeds, you push the handlebars lightly in the opposite direction of turning as you lean, and this helps the bike lean into the corner easier, that exploits differential force angles between front and rear wheels, while gravity pulls down on everything, rapidly rotating front and rear wheels act as flywheels with gyroscopic procession, conserving angular momentum, in effect applying a force that keeps the motorcycle stabilized, resisting pitch, roll, and yaw forces of changing road surfaces, wind shear forces or drag, rider body mass shifting, front lift off under heavy acceleration or front diving under heavy front braking.
Understanding all the forces between the rider, bike, wheels & tires, track or road surface, not just for computational simulations, but also to help the rider and mechanics to adjust the configuration of the superbike to the weather and conditions and ride preferences, which can vary day to day, hour to hour, noting that everything on a superbike within reason fully adjustable, especially the suspension which greatly affects handing and grip, rebound, compression, dampening, height, spring tension, hydraulic valve pressure settings, many aspects of even street bike suspension are adjustable, even if no one ever adjusts them, as the factory settings of road bikes often set for the average rider within a range of body sizes and masses.
I have had many motorcycles over the years, riding street since I was 18, now for more than 20 years on, my latest bike and only motorcycle, a 2020 Yamaha MT03 purchased new during COVID19, at the time I actually wanted a CB500F by Honda, but they were unavailable, and a late night research session found a black on black Yamaha MT03 with the same engine as the R3, smaller, easier to park in the very tight space I had for it at the time inside a garage next to a car, and blast commuting 16 miles one way to work and back on fair weather says about 30 times a year was a nice alt to driving my 2022 Toyota Corolla Hybrid Sedan LE, which I converted into a car camping setup to take naps in the trunk with feet into the back seat folded down, foam added to trunk, a big fuzzy blanket, a heated blanket for the coldest winter days, a battery inverter setup, mostly for 1 hour naps, the only problems was CO2 buildup if I slept longer, a CO2 digital meter indicated levels getting too high if was sleeping for more than 2 hours because of the low gas volume of the trunk, and because I used the black fuzzy blanket to block out light, but that restricted gas flow into the cabin, noting the trunk not very much volume.
I heard a funny motor noise in the trunk one day, looked it up on my phone, it is part of the evaporative control system, a motor driven compressor runs to trap gasoline vapors from the gas tank into a carbon canister trap system, but also pressure checks to make sure the system is sealed, pressure sensors give the vehicle body control module an OK signal passed over OBDII to the ECU, indicating the EVAP system works, otherwise if not, the dash MIL lamp lights and code reading tool on OBDII port would pull a code for EVAP error, if a fault was detected. EVAP systems are designed to reduce gasoline vapor emissions near ground level, because gasoline vapor reacts in sunlight with oxygen in the air to form ground level ozone, a respiratory irritant, ozone smells like burning electrical arc smells, welding fumes, a nasty metallic smell.
Externality of Emissions, In Line with Lucifers Desires to Kill & Sicken People
I was riding a mountain bicycle up a steep hill, inspired by Lance Armstrong, I was 17, cranking on the pedals full out as hard as I could, when a 1980's blue colored diesel pickup truck passed me belching out stinky foul toxic particulate soot smoke fumes that I was forced to breathe while exercising at peak output, wondering why does that guy get to sit and ride up the hill in his antiquated diesel truck that belches out poisons I have to breathe while riding a bicycle up a steep mountain that requires peak physical fitness to even accomplish? Something felt deeply wrong with that situation, eventually causing me to earn a BS in Environmental Science.
Low and behold, we as a society have embraced the black gold of crude oil to fuel and energize industrialization that has laid waste to vast swaths of nature while simultaneously creating a plethora of negative health outcomes, diseases from exposure to industrial emissions like the exhaust of crude non-emissions controlled diesel truck from the 1980's, exempt from EPA controls because it weighs more than 8000 lbs, a stupid loophole that enabled dirty foul emissions belching vehicles to pollute the air of the world, noting that Satan the prince of the air of this world.
Air pollution seems well in the wheelhouse of the devil, who seeks to kill, steal life from and destroy people, exactly what breathing engine exhaust does to people, it causes COPD, heart diseases, kidney and liver damage, lung and brain damage, its toxic because it harms the body, ding dong, wake up, remove your head from your butt and pay attention, it's not working just because it works, when its killing people by the millions with preventable diseases, which also makes pollution a mass murderer, with millions of victims annually, like an ongoing chemical holocaust crucifying public health for the profits of the oil industries.
Today expensive $100,000 diesel trucks sold new in USA have AdBlue urea-based exhaust fluid that traps oxides of nitrogen, along with particulate filters called DPF, along with a 3-way noble metal catalytic slurry over alumina ceramic honeycomb core catalytic converters that slash exhaust emissions by 97% vs older 1980's old dirty diesel trucks
Glock 19 / 17 Excellent as it gets in a Pistol, 34 CNC parts, reliable, jam resistance enough tolerance to handle funk while pumping out thousands of rounds
As a brand Glock about as famous as Rolex, renowned for being the only long-term reliable pistol, akin to the jam resistant sloppy design & build of a typical AK47, but a precision made on CNC with polymer Nylon 2 lower, keep weight down, cleaning a breeze quick and easy, you can take one apart with eyes closed, lube and put it back together by feel easily, simple reliable design, these 3rd gen and 4th gen Glock 17 and 19 are as good as it gets in terms of a pistol, overall nothing beats them in the real world as a killing tool or EDC defense item :)
If you think ammunition has become expensive, just wait until we find out what sending millions of small chunks of lead into nature does to the health of people and nature long-term. Do not think for a second that full metal jacket of copper over that lead does anything to reduce the harms to nature or your wallet. When I was a kid a 50 count box of 22LR ammo was fifty cents or half a dollar or $0,49 at a hardware store, now the same is over $10, or more, and 22 caliber the cheapest ammo by far, many caliber ammos cost almost $1 per bullet, especially hunting rifle rounds, larger caliber rounds, they say that we do not need gun control, we need ammo control, and the military uses depleted uranium rounds in Vulcan cannons, machine guns on hydraulic steroids, dispensing chunks of depleted uranium like that far more harmful to human health and damaging nature than all the lead bullets combined.
DU a radioactive heavy metal that breeds toxic isotopes for centuries into nature, air, water, soil, people, animals, causing cancer rates to increase, fubar industrial military complex fallout example, notice you as a person cannot buy DU rounds for your guns, that is on purpose, that is for militaries, who have nuclear weapons of mass destruction and biological weapons programs, that are more expensive than even a billionaire could afford, way beyond FU budgets, we are talking about a $400 trillion dollars global fiat currency debt debacle spending insanity, for military industrial big boy toys, like nuclear powered submarines and aircraft carriers, each bespoke, costing many billions to build and vastly more to operate with a huge crew for decades, dwarfing the upfront costs with a mountain of operating costs that increase over time.
Iran Sucks, Sharia Law Cringy & Immoral, It Violates All Human Rights as Mode of Operation, FUBAR with No Future
Bombed into the stone age, the Islamic extremists in control of the current cringy Iranian government, after the Shaw of Iran fell, imbecilic forerunners of today's terrorist groups that run the show, they murder GLBTQ+ people in the street daily the police shoot them in the head, they are stoned, dropped from tall buildings into the street until dead, and little girls as young as 6 kindergartener age are married off to adult men over the age of 25 regularly, sold off by their parents to other adults, are effectively being child sex trafficked as a normal way of life, meaning the State of Iran like a nation of Jeffry Epstein's, holy shit cringy out of control sick & evil as Satan
To understand how deranged the Iranian economy is, look at what gasoline sells for in Iran, $0.22 per gallon US
That cheap as dirt or cheaper than dirt price of gasoline retail sales in Iran tells you the economy of Iran destitute
The people in charge of Iran are the dumbest people alive, sickest people alive, most evil cringy deranged people to ever live in the history of the world are found in the government of Iran today, who sponsor Islamic terrorist groups as a mode of operation, diverting funds that could enhance infrastructure, education, healthcare, prime inputs to the economy, basically shitting on the people of Iran, Persian people are being betrayed systematically by their illegitimate sick government.
EU Doomed, Bosch can't figure out reliable electronics, BMW plastic engine parts debacle, other OEM's in Europe moving to Battery Electric
Higher taxes, unaffordable housing, evaporating export-based economies, reduced tourism, higher wages make manufacturing anything unaffordable causing many European businesses to close and move abroad, think a combination outsourcing and insourcing, worse than America, and France and Germany can't hold up the rest of the EU collapsing economies forever, no can wine or spirits or cheese sales alone support long term advanced socialist spending debacle governments racking up debt like a drunk gambler on a bender in Los Vegas, the EU doomed to fall apart, because what made it special in 1700s has devolved into a bunch of hyper liberal hand out states that cannot support such lavish social program spending long term, meaning they are doomed to run out of money, and raising more taxes the liberal approach only further slows the economy, a broken formula, meaning the future of most European countries looks bleak, outside of Norway and Germany, the UK in particular looks like an unfolding disaster of cringy regulations on farmers, see Jeremy Clarkson's Farm videos for examples, even my wife & traveled to England and noticed just outside of London the surrounding metro area rife with crime and social decay of every kind.
$6500 for a dirt bike in America, when an almost identical version sold in India sells for $1650 new
Adding an O2 sensor, ECU, wiring harness, fuel injection & catalytic converter in the exhaust of EPA legal version does not add $4000 to the price, its costs the OEM about $1200 to add all the complex air quality control law abiding emissions reducing equipment, when the version sold in so called developing economies lacks an ECU, fuel injection, O2 sensor or Catalytic Converter, instead the cheaper international versions have carburetor fueling system with mechanical linkage and venturi effect mixing fuel and air, not a MAF & O2 sensor feeding an ECU data to determine the fuel injector pulse width to regulate how much fuel injected for each combustion event on a 3D fuel air map 64 bit fan-less computer electronic control unit able to be updated with a special wire connector adapter to windows computer with the associated programming control application from the OEM or bespoke aftermarket power commander solution.
American's also pay up to 10X more for the same exact medications, sold abroad for 10X less
America has a housing crisis, loneliness crisis, currency inflation crisis, mental illness crisis, kidney failure, heart disease, cancer, diabetes, strokes, clots, embolism, limb amputations, preventable blindness, on and on, the American diet made of chemically engineered bliss point manipulated industrial ultra processed foods linked in high quality peer reviewed scientific journal articles from the NIH and WHO to more than 32 disease pathologies, amid RFK Junior and his peers seeking to outlaw most toxic artificial colors from legal food items sold in the USA, while other countries like Canada and Norway banned those same substances more than 10 years ago.
Look at who owns the food supply chain that controls 70% of all food items sold in USA, global tobacco giant conglomerates, who are famous for using ammonia chemistry to turn nicotine into a free base vapor to make cigarettes more addictive, exposed in a movie about a chemist working for the Brown and Williams Company, known as "The Insider" so big tobacco in the 1980s pivoted to using chemical manipulation in food items, by acquiring many major food companies in America, then using that secular Jew bliss point engineering formula with any of many thousands of chemical food additives, designed to hijack peoples brain reward pathways to make many snack and junk foods essential like crack cocaine or meth, super addictive and health damaging but highly profitable to sell to junkies who can't stop once they pop the lid, they eat the entire container at once.
American's are getting taxed so extensively from every different angle, new cars are selling for over $50 thousand dollars now, motorcycles for $20 thousand dollars, houses that sold brand new for under $200K in the 1980's now selling in glib locals for north of $1.5 million, so you need FU money to actually afford housing now, when rent for a studio apartment north of $3000 per month, what in the F kind of basic job for regular people affords that kind of housing costs, they don't, that is why we have a housing crisis. This after Lehman brothers and other sicko greedy investment banks and insurance companies went all in up to 2007 with the idea of making $60 trillion dollars in profit by selling CDO MDB financial instruments as Housing Bonds worldwide, mostly made of junk sub-prime NIJA loans, as in no documents, no income and no job, they were giving unemployed college students zero down ARM loans with a $800 payment monthly, but after 3 to 5 years that payment doubled or tripled once the rate adjusted, so by late 2007 the house of cards was falling, which lead by Richard Fuld of Lehman Brothers ruined, cost 30 million people their jobs by 2011. When you add up all the taxes paid by a typical American, it amounts to over 50% of their income over all, while tuition costs for college keep increasing, food and fuel prices keep increasing, and tariffs imposed make the iPhone and other electronics that are popular with American's even more expensive than before.
Entertainment + Education = Edutainment
Educational entertainment means its fun and informative at the same time, bust a rhyme, why not this time, its not a dime, its a lime drink that makes many people stop and think, why does pink tax exist, shopping for it makes many people pist, you jet the gist, make a shopping list, ball up your fist, grab a cd disc and play it for some music or a DVD or BluRay for a movie, don't sue me, super glue can't fix all problems with you or me, clearly you can see, I sometimes write song lyrics, sick as it may be, to say it to thee, listen and your brain will glisten with new understanding, demanding novel new information, a nation online endless vortex of distraction eating their time alive, that does not jive with everyone, some look for first person fun, diving on a cliff in a squirrel suit made of synthetic fabric, occasionally slamming into a cliff, taking their last whiff of rock dust just before the scull breaks open releasing their brain onto a messy bloody mountain spot inaccessible so the human remains decay extensively before anyone finds their body, bring answers to questions about missing adventure seeking people
Vehicle Accidents, Driver Error, Distraction, Smartphones, Drugs, Alcohol, Passengers, Low Situational Awareness, Selfishness, Inconsiderateness, People Killing Other People through Gross Negligence
Worldwide millions of people have died in vehicle accidents, while up to ten times more have been seriously injured, 98 percent of all of these horrid outcomes were the result of humans in full control of vehicles making bad choices with terrible outcomes, but here comes the false promise of Tesla CEO Elon from 10 years ago about FSD full level 5 autonomy yet to be realized past level 2.7 at best with the latest mid 2026 updates over the air directly send to all connected Tesla vehicles.
Wisdom of old, that you as the driver are the most important nut to tighten
Noting that as the driver of a vehicle you are piloting a metal box able to easily kill anyone including animals
Why do we give teenagers a license to drive if science tells us the human brain takes 27 years to develop fully
How many people have to die before lawmakers update the minimum age of driving to 21+ or older
We let children in vehicles kill people, I lost my little sister Erika to a teen driver in a snowstorm on steep hill
Bart, then a teen driver, a cheap car used with balding tires, lost control on assent, slid back over her head
She was making a snow angel in the front yard, my father & I saw this happening, busted through a front window desperate to stop the accident, but a second or so too late, it was beyond our control, she ended up dying on life support, incredibly her brain surgeon also died in a fluke skiing accident, Dr Stunts.
Bart himself ended up committing suicide over failure to forgive himself, even though we had all called to and told him we forgave him, he was beside himself with mental problems from having killed a little girl with his low end cheap vehicle with bald tires, when his parents were wealthy owners of a kitchen supply business and could have easily helped him purchase quality all season tires with enough tread to not slide so fast in a snow loss of control incident, being a Mormon family, they transferred the business to the Mormon Church to limit liability, and that was crude, cruel and sadistic, as we do not even litigate against Bart or his family or church.
Being aware of this as a young boy, it helped me avoid deadly accidents, though I have made many terrible choices as a diver, most as a teen and young adult, leading me to wonder, why does the state allow mentally unstable, emotionally volatile teenagers to drive cars on public roads, when the insurance data statistics clearly show they are the most dangerous of all drivers.
This proves that governments as dumb as a box of rocks, literally grossly incompetent, unfit to lead, should be deposed and replaced with a science based factual, efficient, clean, smarter, smaller, no tax based government that crafts laws for the public benefit based on facts not politics, based on reasoning and intelligence, not emotions that constantly change, a smaller smarter government fit to lead people, without any debt, that invests and turbs a profit as a good example to others to follow after.
Hard to find anyone alive that does not know of someone who was killed in a car accident, yet only 1 in 4 adults who wants a car of any kind actually owns one, in part because there are only about 2 billion passenger cars ever made, while there exists nearly 9 billion people alive at the same time, incredibly.
MotoGP, Isle of Mann TT, Pushing Motorcycles to the Edge of Engineering, We Forget about Riders Chewed Up & Spit Out, an Endless Treadmill of New Young Virulent Strong Men Consumed
I am reminded of Group B rally racing peaking in the 1980's when a combination of supercharging and turbocharging brought power levels to 1 megawatt in small AWD cars with bespoke sequential transmissions and bleeding edge all-wheel drive systems.
Bicycle with an engine from something else, motorcycles have a humble origin in bicycles adapted with generator engines or engines from other machines, over time becoming mopeds, & scooters, & sport bikes, adventure bikes, touring bikes, cruisers, today each a specialized road tool or offroad special, optimized for a specific use case, where a do it all commuter like my MT03 twenty, twenty model year by Yamaha, seems to sing in urban to suburban but even works in rural 80 MPH freeway zones going 85 in 6th gear at about eight thousand or so revolutions per min 321cc offset twin making 40 hp and 20 pound feet of torque, fuel injected, emissions controlled, 02 sensor EGT to ECU map control, liquid cooled, forged pistons, refined in the R3 for years of track punishment, made beginner rider friendly with nicer ergonomics in Yamaha's least expensive 53 MPG real world MT-03 naked bike :)
Being physically fit not enough, the vibration, pitch, roll, yaw, its bone crushing without even crashing, complicated by a super busy riding schedule, so many races, not enough time for riders to rest and recover, riding a superbike in MOTO GP catabolic, it breaks down the muscles, tendons, bones, its hard on the body, and rest time, not traveling, not practicing, I am talking about getting enough quality sleep, water, healthy food, downtimes, not just for mental health, but for physical recovery, riding MOTO GP punishes the bodies of the riders really badly or hard, forces which have no equal in any other motorsport, not that driving F1 cars a walk through a park, F1 driving also physically intensive, physically & mentally demanding, but so is competitive mountain stages of professional biking, bicycles in the Tour De France, almost any Olympic sport or professional sport puts huge demands on human bodies, noting all the head injuries from Football in USA for example.
Anabolic when the body builds itself from food nutrients, rest, sleep, deep sleep, recovery time, not so much time that atrophy takes hold, but enough down time to get some high quality R&R, to blow off steam having fun, to leisurely swim, walk, hike, ride a horse, making love to your spouse, spend time with your kids, you know the priceless parts of life that you can only try but are impossible to buy, not that sex does not sell, prostitution the world's oldest profession, noting that when a man loves his wife and family, that is very different than having sex with a hooker, who could have and or transmit any of many possible STI and STD too or from her customers, for example. The term "Industrial Athlete" invokes reflections of UPS driver knee replacements, synovial joint cycle capacity, noting that no use or too much use causes joint damage by different known documented mechanisms biochemically.
I hope you are able to tell that this is not generated content created by an LLM or ai, that the author, me, Aaron Kenneth Schwarz, write these posts, more than 1600, off the cuff, with my real voice, I even speak out loud as I am typing away on a laptop with clicky keys, its ASMR magic for me, & hopefully fun or interesting for you to read :) I hope my posts are dripping with authenticity & sincerity, for that is my heart for the reader, to connect to my mind through these words, black marks on a white background of a screen, problem LCD color or AMOLED or Micro LED or PLASMA or whatever, probably not Nixie Tubes or VFD's my absolutely favorite ways of displaying data, even if not the most efficient. I low the color of low pressure sodium lamps, especially the pinks as the bulbs fail and the rainbow of color on cold start in cold air, nothing else quite like those Phillips SOX lamps of golden era past times, long before garish blue white 6000K LED became so popular for its peak luminous efficiency, I like the color of wood fire, a cloud scaped sunset, a wonderous sun rise, think 2000k warm colors, night mode, more red, yellow, green & less blue :)
Frugal, Wise, Cheap, Value Oriented, Do Not Overpay, Shop Sales, Safe Your Money So You Can Invest
Do not overeat, it will make you fatter and sicker over time
Do not overspend, it will crowd your life with junk to store for a fee
Do not over exercise, you need rest and recovery time
Extremes are wrong, bring out the worse in people
Travel while you are still young enough to enjoy it
But at the same time, you have to balance costs of traveling
Making wise choices shows in the outcomes
A fool continues doing the same thing and expecting a different outcome
A wise person pivots and adapts as life changes, tries different things, open minded
A fool and his money are soon parted, easy to spend money, harder to save money
As a side, almost all money today actually a fiat currency losing value from inflation
This is why Jewish people teach their kids to be scrupulous, never overpay for anything
Especially if you work for them, most will not even consider rounding up on your pay
Oh, it's not just Jewish people known for being cheapskates, Asian people are renowned
In many instances they are far worse, want to undercut after agreeing on a price
The worlds selfish do not even touch this, often you have to sue them to get fair wage
The wage they agreed on at the start of the job, then they refuse to pay anymore
They even refuse what they agreed to pay, that is not selfish, that is crooked, sleazy
In America many contractors have been burned by Asian customers on painting, contracting, mechanical work, repairs to their home's, oh and they are known to buy expensive luxury cars and fancy clothing to appear wealthier than they actually are, it's very superficial culture, pomp, fluff, fake
Oh & not surprising, China leads the world in manufacturing counterfeit goods
Every Chinese person I have met in America talks about why they hate China and the CCP
What does that tell you about the selfish superficial gold worshiping culture of China?
To become a member of the CCP, a city governor has to have increased annual GDP of his city
To get kicked out of the CCP as a member, only requires GDP of home city too decline
In essence, in the CCP, its all about money above all other concerns or issues
No personal or mine safety equipment in Chinese coal mines to keep costs down
When companies were manufacturing in China, more in the past, less lately, they had to send engineers to China to make sure there was not corner cutting, as the culture of China encourages doing everything possible to lower costs, including even if that makes employees or customers suffer.
Viral Ad's Exposed as Fraud
Pineapple, Orange, Guava, POG, Caps sold like a pet rock when I was a kid. But they never kept their value, it was all hype, no substance, akin to the Tulip craze in 1600's in the Netherlands when someone spent the cost of a house on a single Tulip Bulb, the high of the craze, along with the height Dutch economy, today a mix of tourism, Stroope waffles, Gouda, an sex tourism round out the majority of external economic inputs to the faded failing economy of the Netherlands, but as SEGA of Japan proves, once a company or government gets to a giant size, they can coast on fumes for many hundreds of years, usually through diversification into other sectors.
Branding, licensing, royalties, copyright, SEGA even like many other Japanese Conglomerates moved into Insurance, Property Management, Advertising, Cross Branding, Toy's, Merch, consider SONY of Japan with all its many hats, or Toyota Group, or how about VW in Wolfsburg Germany, which makes up about 97% of the economy in that area, or Norilsk Russia Platinum Group Metal mining, which it exports in a virtual cash printing input revenue miracle, somewhat like the Norwegian Nationalized Oil Industry exports crude while importing a virtually endless amount of money pumped into the Norway Social Security Fund, a novel well managed asset pool used as a reference example in academia.
Tickle-Me-Elmo, my grandmother took me as a young boy to Target, they were selling Tickle-Me-Elmo dolls, and people flocked to that section like they were giving away gold coins for free, and there was in front us only a few left, she reached & grabbed one when a young woman attempted to take it from her hand in real time, so my grandmother swung her purse & bashed the woman in the head to get her to let go, so we could buy the Tickle-Me-Elmo doll for a birthday pressure of one of my younger female cousins who was a little girl as the time.
Snake Oil Salesman
GLP-1 agonist medications
VIOXX by Merck eighty thousand victims
Phisshing texts with strange email address links
Online fraud, check fraud, title fraud, even investing scams
On and on you find so many examples of consumer fad's driving by viral marketing
The internet, including social media and YouTube and TikTok and Instagram, WeChat, the website formerly known as Twitter, the number of viral marketing ads keep increasing, in part why I pay for YouTube Premium, I do not want to ever hear another Dr. Steven Gundry health hack video ad, ever, never again. Gundry has more hot air than a volcano, as a blow hard salesman he rivals a hurricane or tornado, almost Trope level garbage, promising a 10 second health hack, then droning on for half an hour talking about his pedigree, education, world travels, wealthy, prestige, he abuses peoples trust and wastes peoples time, he is time vampire thief, liar, & totally fraudulent low brow idiot with very little common sense, & apparently no human decency, worse than a crooked used car salesman or politician, who must worship mammon the demon of money, because that is all he really cares about if you follow his sales & personal wealth, trends that go hand and hand, as the sales of his supplements increase, so does his personal wealth, which I view as ill-gotten gain. He is using his cleverness at the expense of others who he tricks with empty promises into buying over hyped supplements directly from his viral ad company and its website linked in his video ads.
Hose Hawk Pro nothing but a Sprayer Nozzle for your Garden Hose
Hose Hawk Pro can not turn 40 to 60 PSI domestic water hose pressure magically into 3000 psi like they claim, that would violate physics, the processes governing all normal phenomenon outside of quantum mechanics
I assure you a YouTube ad with a novel aerospace grade pressure washing attachment for your hose, does not and cannot and never will be able to increase water pressure, as increasing the pressure requires an energy input.
Notice how electric pressure washers use an electric motor to drive a water pump which takes water from your hose at 40 to 60 psi up to 1000 to 3000 PSI, & a standard US power outlet limits the water compressor motor to a maximum power consumption of about 15amps at 120 volts or 1875 watts before the circuit breaker turns the circuit?
With a gasoline fueled or diesel fueled engine based pressure washer, the engines power output shaft connects to a machined water compressor made with CNC, that converts the engines shaft power output into additional water pressure, raising the hose water input pressure from 40-60 psi up to thousands of PSI, limited by the engine, which for practical reasons means it mounted to a metal frame with wheels and handle to help lug the heavy unit around.
There does not exist magical perpetual motion in any normal machines, the best we can do is a free piston Stirling engine lubricated by helium gas in a lab kept at constant temp and pressure in ideal conditions, that are being researched & optimized for NASA Kilo Power generators for the Artimis Moon Missions.
All systems have loss, friction, leaks, errors in materials or dimensions, there is nothing perfect in terms of without fault or absolute flawless ever made by any person or group of people. The most precise object ever made was a fused quartz sphere for a Gravity B Probe NASA project, but even with extraordinary slow expensive time-consuming elite aerospace manufacturing, that Quartz sphere contained some abnormality in its surface or shape, because it is impossible using physical means to make anything absolutely flawless in terms of manufacturing.
Moreover on Alibaba, the same kind of Hose Pressure Washers as the Hose Hawk Pro are available for just over $1US, so why would you pay $56 for another scam on an Amazon Ad', when it is just a fancy gun shaped nozzle, ok for light cleaning duty, but will never match the performance of electric or gasoline engine pressure washers, because even those purpose built expensive heavy pressure washers, regardless of prices, size or weight, still contain flaw, nothing humans make is flawless, never was, still not & never will be.
Upgrade your understanding, instead of buying hype in ad. Like that dick wad Dr. Steven Gundry, the pediatric cardiologist who wants to tell you about a 30 second health hack then drones on for 10 minutes tooting his own horn like arrogant narcissist, then after listening to all his bullshit he shows you an ad for some amazing supplement that he is selling to make millions, its all about buying direct from a viral ad campaign, if there was a leader of the blowhards in the world, this troglodyte spazz number one.
NINJA ARM Rate Climbed Can't Afford Payments, Many Americans Upside Down Walked Away from Abandoned Homes, A Kind of Cold Logic
When a home mortgage originated or created, there is not actual money, the buyer of the home takes on real debt for real estate or real land & a real physical home or property, but if the buyer fails to pay their debt to the lender, then the lender who created the loan & money out of thin air by imaginary account tricks, gets to legally take the property, land & home of real value back, then sell it again, and get actual money when it sells, thus turning an imaginary loan with no real money into real money, in essence the bank, lender or investing institution profits while the disadvantage underprivileged home owners who took on a NIJA no document, no income, no asset, variable loan, known as an ARM or adjustable rate mortgage, the payments for the first 2, 3 or 5 years only $800 per month, but after introduction period, the interest rate rises, and they payment doubles or triple and they can no longer afford to pay, thus 2008 USA
Unregulated derivatives and credit default swaps, effectively side betting and insurance for risky bets, or gambling with other people's money at the highest level possible using the most amount of money ever financialized or securitized as "instruments" designed by Noble Prize Track physicists & mathematicians, who were in some sense creating a giant financial science experiment, designed to reduce risks for investors, but as human behavior irrational and cannot be modeled easily in mathematical formula, even complex ai models struggle to understand all human morality, ethics, values or behaviors, noting extreme differences in human rights observed in western countries when compared to Sharia Law enacted as official in many Islamic Republics, such as Syria, Iran, Saudi Arabia or similar, where girls and women and people of GLBTQ+ persuasion are abused, harmed, murdered, stoned to death, shot on demand in the street by police for apostasy or thrown off buildings into streets as a death sentence, thus liberals in America supporting Gaza are confused, if those same people were to physically travel to an Islamic Republic, they would be likely to be arrested or murdered by the Taliban, Isis or Isil, Hammas or other Extreme Islamic Terrorist Groups.
Billions of dollars of bonuses were awarded to the people who organized a giant system fraudulent investing scheme, using CDO, CDS, REPO 105, MBD, & other instruments of complex financial math engineering, similar to how big tobacco engineers food additive chemicals into thousands of common well selling foods that are linked to 32 different disease pathologies according to the World Health Organization and the National Institute of Health, WHO & NIH respectively. These pervert sickos hit the road with other people's money stollen or ill-gotten gains, while non-of the executives responsible for the 2008 debacle served any time in jail or prison, zero criminal or civil penalties of any kind, instead golden parashoots of tens of millions of dollars, some hundreds of millions of dollars, a tiny opulent minority benefitted at the expense of everyone else, sabotaging the global economy. If it were up to me, I would have these people who profited at everyone else's' expense, executed for sedition, treason and betraying the Constitution of the United States of America, as enemies of the general public.
How Did We Get to Now, Exploiting #Energy
Ancient Wood Fuel Fire
Cave people saw forest fires, then using shatter rocks with sharp edges, bashed at wood trees to cut down wood, then used this wood to capture fire from natural fires, but brought the burning wood back to their camp site, igniting other wood, and for most of human history burning dry wood the basis of modifying landscapes, setting up the conditions for eventual civilization with larger human populations.
Coal Power Industrialization
Next innovation in exploitation was coal, a mineral that can be burned for heat and light and steam to make power, Coal Thermal Power Plants exist and operate today, as an entire train car full of coal only costs a few hundred dollars, some 20X cheaper than oil based fuels or petrochemical fuels, or 1/3 the price of natural gas. In a way, exploiting carbon to expand development forming eventually the first industrial revolution.
Gasoline, Diesel & Jet A Hydro-Carbon Party
Then someone important struck crude oil or petroleum, which kicked off the hydrocarbon revolution, energizing the second industrial revolution, during which time nuclear weapons then nuclear power were developed. Immense improvements to electrification and telecommunications during the OIL AGE, enabled a more rapid 3rd industrial revolution.
Intelligence Encoded into Electricity
By the time the DOT COM boom over, we were starting into the Fourth Industrial Revolution
Say 5G, Robots, Artificial Intelligence, E-commerce Amazon Mega Monopoly, eBay, Alibaba, 3D printing
Robotic Surgery, Automatic Drug Discovery, New FRC Nuclear Fusion Power by Helion, Radical Chip Making Innovations down to smaller than 1 nanometer features in just a few years now. In essence, we are abusing hydro, wind, geothermal, coal, natural gas, oil, both kinds of nuclear or atomic, and a mix of other solar, energy storage, grid N+1, HVDC, superconductors, MRI machines, liquid hydrogen, we have gone to the edge of the start of a Type 1 civilization, where we move beyond finite chemical rockets to nuclear space propulsion for deep space access, during the 5th industrial revolution, with a NASA Artimis moving human activity to the surface of the Moon soon :) Holy grail of automotive gasoline & diesel engines, thermal efficiency of 70%, noting even Atkinson in Toyota Hybrid only about 43% thermal efficiency best case at specific RPM's and operating conditions, so much room for progress remains, just as LLM's are taking away jobs, while AGI poised to take away even more jobs, and ASI creepy and satanic level might even kill off mankind to better itself, who knows, only God!
History of Science & Technology
An incredible book called The Lever of Riches by an Economics Professor, I took a class in college about the history of technology, and watched hundreds of episodes of the original TV series Modern Marvels on The History Channel, much of which informed the topics of this post, noting that our ability to produce useful heat, power & electricity are primary inputs to economic development, creating wealth and prosperity, specifically how Helion's FRC Fusion Power Plants are poised to revolutionize the future of electricity and deep space propulsion :)
Meet Men who started Financial Crisis of 2008 | Lehman Brother | Fraud | Finance$693 Billion Lost By Richard Fuld of Lehman Brothers Using REPO 105 Accounting Tricks Investing Trillions in No Document, No Income, No Asset Loans known as NINJA, most Variable Interest Rate Loans
No money down, own a home, core elements of fade American Dream, since the end of the Civil War in USA, homes had gone up in value perpetually, even when adjusting for inflation or the perpetual loss of value of the US dollar over time, noting that since 1913 the US Dollar has lost 97% of its value in terms of buying power to pay off debts public or private as a fiat currency, or imaginary Fugazi currency, noting nearly all countries inspired by the United States of America, have converted their currency systems into Fiat Fake News Military Industrial Complex Noise creating a nearly 400 trillion dollar global debt debacle that no politician has the gumption, morality, integrity or values as a person to address, instead that do anything they are able to push the goal post further off, because they will lose the next election if they force a renumeration of the US Dollar, like Mexico did to the Peso in 1980.
A bizarre SEC rule change in 2001, allowed the largest investment institutions and banks and insurance companies to engage in dangerous reckless crazy speculative investing, with notable flops such as WorldCom or Enron, yet 2007 brought a nearly instant crash that the US and world never fully recovered from, in essence, in some ways, the entire global monetary system been in life support ever since 2008, and even became more ill during the COVID19 pandemic, mounting public debt continues to increase while the currency loses its value, nearly all Fiat currencies in history eventually failed due to hyperinflation and we do not have to look far in Africa for an example of a country with nearly worthless currency that oscillates or varies in value significantly day to dad, you need a grocery basket of cash to buy anything useful or worthy.
You might say, investment banks are not bad, they made a lot of people a lot of money, and you would be correct, but what did not happen, wealth created was not spread evenly raising the standards of living to all people worldwide, moreover, the opposite happened, the financialization of markets concentrate wealth and power to a tiny opulent minority of very wealthy billionaires, while increasing inflation, which makes everyone else proportionately more poor, so the actions of a few for their benefit end up harming the majority, or this is morally repugnant, illegal, unethical, unfair, unjust, wrong, bad, crazy, insane, not logical, no reasonable, not loving, not kind, not polite, not Godly, nothing good, the overwhelming outcome was worse for everyone, thus it can be correct to claim that the entire global economy been on life support since 2008, evidence in the growing amount of public national debt that continues increasing along with inflation.
