CALLER:
Is this Pizza Delight?

GOOGLE:  
No sir, it’s Google Pizza.

CALLER:  
I must have dialed a wrong number.  Sorry.

GOOGLE:  
No sir, Google bought Pizza Delight last month.

CALLER:  
OK.  I would like to order a pizza.

GOOGLE:  
Do you want your usual, sir?

CALLER:
My usual? You know me?

GOOGLE:
According to our caller ID data sheet, the last 12 times you called you ordered an extra-large pizza with three cheeses, sausage, pepperoni, mushrooms and meatballs on a thick crust.

CALLER:  
OK! That’s what I want …

GOOGLE:
May I suggest that this time you order a pizza with ricotta, arugula, sun-dried tomatoes and olives on a whole wheat gluten-free thin crust?

CALLER:  
What? I detest vegetable!

GOOGLE:  
Your cholesterol is not good, sir.

CALLER:  
How the heck do you know!

GOOGLE:
Well, we cross-referenced your home phone number with your medical records.  We have the result of your blood tests for the last 7 years.

CALLER:
Okay, but I do not want your rotten vegetable pizza!  I already take medication for my cholesterol.

GOOGLE:
Excuse me sir, but you have not taken your medication regularly.  According to our database, you purchased  only a   box of 30 cholesterol tablets once, at Drug RX Network, 4 months ago.

CALLER:  
I bought more from another drugstore.

GOOGLE:  
That doesn’t show on your credit card statement.

I paid in cash.

GOOGLE:  
But you did not withdraw enough cash according to your bank statement.

CALLER:  
I have other sources of cash.

GOOGLE:
That doesn’t show on your last tax return unless you bought them using an undeclared income source, which is against the law.

CALLER:  
WHAT THE HECK!

GOOGLE:  
I’m sorry, sir, we use such information only with the sole intention of helping you.

CALLER:
Enough already!  I’m sick to death of Google, Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp and all the others.  I’m going to an island without internet, cable TV, where there is no cell phone service and no one to watch me or spy on me.

GOOGLE:     
I understand sir, but you need to renew your passport first.  It expired 6 weeks ago…

• Comment: Big Business can’t be reasoned with, they can’t be bargained with…They didn’t feel pity of remorse or fear , until after 9/11 and 2008…and they absolutely did not stop not stop. Now what?

I got this from a friend, my reespose below:

Geez, Ed, must have been 15-20, like ants flowing out of that P/U. What a mess has been going on with immigrants a long time now. Damn globalization. Big global multi national businesses enjoying unfettered business activity (capitalism) across borders, is causing poverty and socialism here and in many countries,

Because all the manufacturing of various countries needs was off shored funneled to China et al. Each country should produce their own consumer product needs locally. Avoid and tax imports. Only import strictly what they can’t get or need locally.

Big business has been playing both ends against the middle. “They” are a like a “capitalist country” in and of themselves. They are NOT patriotic, have no allegiance for any country. They are out ONLY for themselves. Like the terminator. The Democrats and republicans have been supporting these businesses for decades. “Free Trade” “Strong Dollar is good” bullshit.

I’m an isolationist patriot and I had to watch this USA lose its independent domestic capitalist system, and many other countries declined for decades. Then they come here. We have a better lifeboat. Not sinking as fast as their countries.

After 50 years in downtrend, hopefully the end isn’t too far off now. Forget about over throwing the Whitehouse, they need to overthrow the Mass Media FIRST, then tax the shit out of any unneeded unimportant consumer imports, to make them way too expensive to buy and ours cheaper than theirs, and get some income to relieve the transition pain with tax income here while we change over.

Who cares if Costco and Lowes have to eat the taxes on imports. They CERTAINLY can’t pass it onto consumers. LOL. So the shares drop who really cares? As Trump said, “What do we have to lose?” Because we already are losing.

IMHO, the best thing that could happen is that the rank and file take over the gov’t and re-install the Constitution.

Biden, Harris and the Demonrats are set to destroy this country while enriching themselves.

The entire Georgetown University team kneeled during the playing of the National Anthem.

And then went on to lose by 23 points.

Mainstream media and the large mining companies are finally catching on to what we at AOTH have been saying for the past two years: the copper market is heading for a severe supply shortage due to a perfect storm of under-exploration/ lack of discovery of new deposits, clashing with a huge increase in demand due to electrification and decarbonization.

Dramatic price rise

Copper is trading over $4.00 a pound this year on rapidly tightening physical markets, rebounding economic growth especially in China, the top metals consumer, and the expectation that the era of low inflation in key economies may soon be over.

Rising more than 22% in 2020, copper had its best year since 2017, with prices boosted by hopes for “green” stimulus (the red metal is an important component of electric vehicles and renewable energy systems. The United States, EU and China have all promised trillions worth of green infrastructure spending), the global 5G build-out, China’s recovery from the coronavirus, and virus-related supply disruptions in top copper producers Chile, Peru and Mexico.

Good one SnG. Exactly whats going on down here. We’re getting screwed.

Do they know a forgiven loan is a taxable event ? They need to pay taxes on the amount forgiven !     The Government can forgive a loan ,but they wont forgive the TAXES …..Biden hocus Pocus

I think the banks reserves requirement is being normalized. They won’t have quite so much money to invest.

Seems to me they get funds at just about zero cost anyways. I don’t know why this would be such a big deal.

Obviously the managers are as dumb as a stump, or its just a big long term news blackout since 1970. First, everybody knows after 1970 general wages did NOT keep up with inflation. Then the wives went into the force because two salaries were needed to keep up with inflation.

Then because of the stupid leaders accumulation of error or stupidity, by 2001 with both spouses wages STILL lagging inflation, combined income, they had no savings or reserves.

So the ass hole bankers and gov’t had to give out 105% no documentation liar loan mortgages to support the fake system. Unfortunately by 2008 even that didn’t prevent non payment of loans or a global financial crisis.

Bottom line: The leaders and bankers and big corporation stupid greedy cheap skate dreamers, neglected and abused Joe Sixpack, and they all simply got buttslamed by the workforce, and problems ever since.

You can’t under pay for ANYTHING, like oil or electric or taxes or interest or rent costs etc or you will have problems. So the fake system failed to pay what the cost of living costs were and now they are forced to print money out of this ail and hand it out like coupon circulars in the mail and they STILL have problems anyway.

Besides the under paid tax PAYER workforce? Many tax PAYER domestic businesses, because of unfair foreign competition, had to cut back on wages and benefits, many were forced shut down, or move operations overseas. I witnessed this myself.

A lot of the surviving businesses and naturally their employees, many are supported by governments contract, or gov’t rules and regulations so are tax absorbing. Even if they pay taxes, they are paying with tax money, paying taxes to themselves.

Net net the Gov’t needs profitable tax payer business and profitable tax payer employees, if the want to keep the tax absorber ball rolling. But so far they just keep “getting away with” using the credit card bond market as their cash cow, and drive up the tab.

Mario Cuomo is the latest one to “not get away with it anymore”, Bernie Madoff was the first after 2008.

What I heard was their reserve requirements were lowered to maintain liquidity for the pandemic, and it is expiring soon, and causing some banks to start selling treasuries and that’s whats driving the rates higher.

Maybe building up reserves is preparation for a different problem?

Earlier this week someone asked me what the markets might look like ahead of this quadruple option expiration.

I replied ‘a zigzag.’ Or in other words, a wash and rinse operation designed to shake speculators out of their positions.

It appears that the Banks are losing their special exemption from the reserves requirement.

It’s all about the leverage. And perhaps the most inconvenienced bank is JP Morgan.

Next week we will have a metals option expiration on the Comex, on Thursday the 25th.

When you trade in the relatively lawless markets of deregulation and hellbound pigmen, you need to be on your guard.

They are not jealous of your freedom.

They just want your money.

Have a pleasant weekend.

Got my motorcycle parts in the mail and I’ll be popping wheelies soon!  Kudos to winedoc for turning me on to this great hobby!

Yep would help and create price competition if they did bypass third party’s but it also keep the stocks down too when the PMs aren’t moving just the premiums.
