Loading ...But about your son. I can’t think of anything worse than watching a healthy thriving child wither away and die, and being helpless to do anything about it…regardless of the cause. I personally would have a very hard time “turning the other cheek” if I knew who or what was responsible for it.
I hope all is well in Colombia.
Black youth are waking up. They know they’re being betrayed and don’t like the road they’re betrayed with all the way down by these scum like they’re doing everyone else. I’m guessing there gonna be a nightmare to them. There not gonna be so nice out the door, they see where that got other people.
…and took it to heart .
I have avoided vaccines for years , after my son became an overnight type 1 diabetic after exposure to a cold or flu virus around 1992 , then lost both kidneys after exposure to another virus around 2005 (?). I now attribute that to cytokine storm…over reaction by his body’s hyped immune response .
The Labor Day weekend looms like a gateway into an autumn hell-scape of political psychodrama, so enjoy those last clam rolls of the season before the zeitgeist darkens and events pound the shore like so many waves of hurricane surf. Further inland, where the Swamp lies, unseen hands work overtime to falsify reality in a leaderless nation. Everybody feels the unbearable tension of things as yet unhappened.
“Joe Biden” has LARPed his way to the final act of his performance. The evidence of his high crimes, and the covering-up of those high crimes by our lawless law officialdom, is piled high enough to eject him into the swales of infamy. We know exactly how the Ukraine grift went down — the documentation is stark and florid — as is the rest of family’s bribery operations in other lands not necessarily friendly to our own land. So, add treason to bribery and there you have the complete kit of perfidious treachery against the nation.

That’s so true. Many young women from those areas in city’s like NY even LA complain about the men they’re too and have to stay guarded.
Im mentioning these because I’m refreshing psychology because the obvious ref flags right now of a mental crisis and their going after kids too who are being forced to play rolls with their mental illness.
That’s not to mention they want to dictate and control the world. these are mental illnesses. Some are not purposeful some are goal orientated. They want something.
The me myself and I is a flag to watch out for a a narcissist. Someone could be just having a bad day but they’re like that all the time.
A narcissistic personality is a ptst and defense mechanism from about 2 yrs old on something happen with the relationship with the mother and couldn’t separate to there own senses of person or ego and they went into their own world but will attach to others who then become there mother. If you comply your the move mother if you don’t your the terrible mother and they will punish you.,
They can also tend to push boundary’s with rudeness or intrusiveness to see what they can get away with or used against you at some point for control.
If you can identify them run, get clear of them. There’s also the poor me type and nothing their fault it’s always someone else’s. The Russians did it.
The reason for that is because subconsciously your dealing with a 2 yr old in the emotional sense. If you forget that, when a problem comes along say you work with someone like that they’ll remind you and have a melt down and not problem solvers but makers. They will jump on the defensive even though no one blamed them they’re just trying to fix something it will not be their problem even if it’s their job. There not safe people “ never know how their going to react “ and unreliable.
They form pictures in their mind of who you are that they want and disregard you. If you deviate from that they will get angry. Either way they will but that’s a long story,
Then there’s the psychopath but that’s more organic, zombish. People are nothing to either especially the psychopath.
Here’s something I wrote to a friend yesterday about Maui. She’s aware of these personalities so it’s a ongoing conversation,
The reason I’m sharing it is a example how there merging into positions of power they should never have.
Must be a narcissist and psychopaths dream to achieve that kind of power over other people. The Hawaiian police should of got a clue that something was wrong with that chief they chose when he failed to act on the Las Vegas mass shooting or the lack of empathy he had for the victims. The same lack of empathy he had for the Maui victims. Not just lack of empathy but demeaning demeanor towards them. Oh their just stupid people and would of thought it was a tsunami and ran toward the fire. That’s a guy with some serious psycho mental issues. Same lack of sympathy or empathy with the mayor who is doing nothing for these people. They switched to playing misunderstood and blame shifting to the victims. It all added up to willful malice.
I hope things go well with your Father. We will keep him in our prayers.

i suspect the difference is related to population density – both in points of origin, and present situation. upstate new yorkers are a different breed and mindset from manhatten dwellers. the tone of civil behavior in california changes when you get about fifty miles from salt water. downstate illinois is a different world from chicago. i live in a village in a county without a stoplight. half an hour’s drive takes me to a mid-sized city with all the crowding, traffic, and chickenshit regulations.
it’s nice having a city within reach for all the things a city provides – shopping, libraries, an airport, hospitals …etc. but live there? no thanks.
I have some great neighbors too. Very tight with them, but they are from Michigan, Ohio, Indiana.
I believe you are right about South Florida.
Over a week ago, I started positions in a few silver juniors. This was based on my feeling that a low was close.
I didnt base this on any ew count. Either because I dont have the skills anymore or perhaps because these low volume charts are hard to read. Also I dont often bother to start my laptop and the charting software I use.
I just use the charting app on my ipad which has limited features.
Looking at a multiyear chart it just seems an important low is being formed. Still it wouldnt surprise me if we test that low or even marginally take it out. If so I may add. I used the recent rally to pare some positions in both gold and silver stocks in ones that didnt look that good. Of course as often happens, some of those will rocket but that is part of the game.
I have always traded whatever chart looked good in any market.
As I have posted, the bulk of my trading account with profits and losses from over the many years is in govt notes and zips zero coupon.

Perhaps it is because we are in North Florida and away from any large towns, but whatever reason we have very friendly and supportive neighbors. For example, the neighbor next to me is a retired doctor and he would check in often with an aged (even by my standards) widow down the street to make sure she was doing okay.
There are a few native Floridians, but most are from the Northeast, the Midwest, and the South (Georgia or the Carolinas) about equal in percentage.
If any one needs a ride into Jacksonville for medical reasons, any number of folks would volunteer. When our neighbors are at Costco, they call and see if we want anything.
We have run across a few people that seemed too concerned with themselves, but that is the exception.
About a third are snowbirds having a another house in Colorado or New Hampshire or the Carolina mountains for example. Many of us live here year round and actually enjoy the summer subtropical weather.

That being said, we have heard south Florida is a bit more as you indicate.
added: When we moved to this what was basically a retired community almost 30 years ago, most of the men were World War II vets and I can say without reservation those men regardless of wealth were the “salt of the earth”.
I’m not sure why, course there are some good people there too. Upper state NY for example. I suspect it’s mostly folks in the more urban areas.
I mentioned we have a lot of snowbirds here, and I’ve met very few, if any, that are kind people. “Me first”, self centered types that think the world revolves around them. I usually wear a smile and say hello to just about everyone, if they make eye contact. Can’t tell you how many just give me a dark, permanently miserable look, and say nothing, in my neighborhood! As you pointed out, they seem to have no problem voicing their opinions and getting in your business.
I had to square a guy up a few weeks ago, he was so out of line, like you did. They’re like bullies in a school yard.
It’s sad to me. Most of them are intolerant liberals.
It is rare to find a four-track mainline long enough to do that!
In the US we had two steamers ‘race’ uphill in Cajon Pass out of the LA basin a few years back. One of them busted a rod and had to be towed by a diesel.
“There’s something about folks from the Northeast, a general nastiness. Not all, but more often than not. That’s a helluva way to live.”
I agree. I spent the better part of 1972 in Jersey and NYC and would never voluntarily live there. Several years back I had to take a trip to a PA factory with my engineering boss, who was in CA. He left a day early to take care of legal business in DC, and we arranged to meet at the airport in MD to fly together to PA to the factory. So I flew from HI to LAX, stopped at the company office, then flew redeye to MD that night. In comfortable blue jeans and sport shirt and light jacket. I was a zombie on arrival in MD. My boss John was a western cowboy, with boots and jacket, his customary wear back in LA. We sat together on the airport shuttle buss, and the woman across from us made a not very subtle comment, leaning over to her husband to announce: “They’re Gay!”
I was tired and pissed, and didn’t care anymore. I said to John, “Have you noticed how rude east coast people are?” He nodded. I looked directly at the woman and said “Although it’s none of your business, I’m from Hawaii, and he’s from California. We work for the same company and are on a business trip.” She put her head down and didn’t look at us anymore. John just smirked.
That must of been some job to fix it.
Glad no damage to you or your place.
