Stanford Scientists Warn That Civilization as We Know It Will End in "Next Few Decades" - source
"Humanity is very busily sitting on a limb that we're sawing off." "I and the vast majority of my colleagues think we've had it," Barnosky's Stanford colleague Paul Ehrlich, who also appeared on the show, told Pelley, "that the next few decades will be the end of the kind of civilization we're used to." That grim reality, according to the researchers, means that even if humans manage to survive in some capacity, the wide-reaching impacts of mass extinction — which include habitat destruction, breakdowns in the natural food chain, soil infertility, and more — would cause modern human society to crumble. "I would say it is too much to say that we're killing the planet, because the planet's gonna be fine," said Barnosky. "What we're doing is we're killing our way of life."

Ticketmaster - what happened, Pearl Jam is right, and their scalping program called TradeDesk - Source 1, Source 2
Box-office giant Ticketmaster is recruiting professional scalpers who cheat its own system to expand its resale business and squeeze more money out of fans, a CBC News/Toronto Star investigation reveals. TradeDesk allows scalpers to upload large quantities of tickets purchased from Ticketmaster's site and quickly list them again for resale. With the click of a button, scalpers can hike or drop prices on reams of tickets on Ticketmaster's site based on their assessment of fan demand.

Neither TradeDesk nor the professional reseller program are mentioned anywhere on Ticketmaster's website or in its corporate reports. To access the company's TradeDesk website, a person must first send in a registration request.

Handmaid's Tale (art mirrors life)

Capitalism and all its "glory"
Maybe capitalism keeps crashing because society is a team sport that everyone is trying to run as a single player game? I mean, how far do you suppose a football team will get if all the players are in it only for themselves with complete disregard for the rest of the team? Also this isn't a call for communism and socialism. I can critique and call it out without being for the other. Maybe all the "isms" have bad things and good things mixed in. 

Despite surviving numerous crises (and somehow presenting itself as an "ultimate solution"), capitalism is bound to go through periodic crashes. These periodic crises are not just side-effects, but built-in features of capitalism. While these crises merely shake the system a bit (and doesn't do much damage to the benefactors of the system like the elite or wealthy), it does cost the working-class their livelihoods. These economic crises are triggered by capitalism's endless goal of accumulating wealth - in turn, triggering an environmental collapse.

It's called economic cycle to sound nice but in reality it's you,
1. Get hired
2. Get laid off
3. Get into unemployment
4. Get into debts
5. Get a job for less pay cause debts and inflation
6. Go back to 1 and repeat the cycle again but just with less pay, less opportunities and a crumble infrastructure and environment.

- AZ and TN bad school voucher programs - source
"Ignoring voters, Arizona approves nation’s largest school voucher scheme. Under the new voucher plan, all 1.1 million students in Arizona who can enroll in a public school can get vouchers — technically known as Empowerment Scholarship Accounts — in the form of a debit card worth about $7,000 and use it for educational purposes. $10,255 in average tuition for nonreligious private schools in Arizona." YES the school system is broken and needs reform but this isn't it. 

It’s Time to Stop Living the American Scam - oped piece
"A decade later, people aren’t trying to sell busyness as a virtue anymore, not even to themselves. A new generation has grown to adulthood that’s never known capitalism as a functioning economic system. My generation, X, was the first postwar cohort to be downwardly mobile, but millennials were the first to know it going in. Our country’s oligarchs forgot to maintain the crucial Horatio Alger fiction that anyone can get ahead with hard work — or maybe they just dropped it, figuring we no longer had any choice. To young people, America seems less like a country than an inescapable web of scams, and “hard work” less like a virtue than a propaganda slogan, inane as “Just say no.”

Enough with the busywork already. We’ve been “productive” enough — produced way too much, in fact. And there is too much that urgently needs to be done: a republic to salvage, a civilization to reimagine and its infrastructure to reinvent, innumerable species to save, a world to restore and millions who are impoverished, imprisoned, illiterate, sick or starving. All while we waste our time at work."

What's happening with the stock market? -
"The share of companies in the United States which were profitable after their IPO has been decreasing year-on-year over the past decade from a peak of 81 percent in 2009. In 2020, only 22 percent of companies were profitable after their IPO."
US Household debt nears $16 trillion despite rising rates and inflation, credit card balances at $71 billion. Markets are propped by a lot of borrowing from low interest rates and if they don't it can cause extreme interest rates. The markets are scared and broken.  80% of all US dollars in existence were printed in the last 22 months (from $4 trillion in January 2020 to $20 trillion in October 2021). A stagnant economy and "the stock market is a chart of rich people feelings".

Charles Bukowski “You lose what individualism you have" the "life" checklist -

Then you work the 8 hour job with almost a feeling of goodness, like you’re doing something, and you get married, like marriage is a victory and you have children like having children is a victory, but most things people do are a total grind, marriage, birth, children, it’s something they HAVE to do because they have nothing else to do. There is no glory in it, no esteem, no fire, their lives are flat and the earth is full of them. Sorry, but that's the way I see it.

"The Economy is Great. The Middle Class is Mad" - source
Hopefully this makes you mad -
"Adjusting to the new world isn’t going to be easy. Reeves cautions families to compare themselves not with their parents’ generation, but instead with where they would be without the policy actions during the Great Recession and the pandemic recession. Where would the American economy be if the government hadn’t bailed out the banks and the auto companies? What if it hadn’t paused student-­loan payments during the pandemic and sent out stimulus checks and child tax credits? If families could compare themselves with the counter­factual, they might not get so angry—and maybe their anger wouldn’t be as easily weaponized against whoever they think created their economic woes, whether it be people of different races, or Big Business."

People need to realize that nothing is going to change for the better and actually understand why.
Nobody is in charge. We’re being lead by a bunch of billionaires giving bribes to corrupt, grifting, lying politicians looking to get every penny they can get.

John Stossel half truths- more of the “fake news” b.s. - source
John Stossel is an American libertarian television presenter, author, consumer journalist, and pundit, known for his career on ABC News and Fox Business Network. He claims "Fossil Fuels Save Lives". But doesn't provide a single ounce of any data in his OPED piece on Reason.com. This in my opinion is where the problem is. He didn't have a single scientist on to discuss or even reference a peer reviewed paper proving what he is saying. Another issue is he has a decent following listening to him.

What’s happening in America today - my response to Thomas Homer-Dixon of the Royal Roads University's Cascade Institute opinion piece - opinion piece
Trump is the symptom, not the cause. He deserves to be hated but simply "stopping" him won't stem the tide that created him. He's a clever idiot who became the face of it and there are a hundred others who could take up the mantle waiting in the wings. Stop Trump without "stopping" the social forces that caused his rise will do nothing. America has sown the seeds for this in countless countries around the world and we are now reaping the harvest in our own society. Stopping him in particular won't change anything. To stave this off you'd have to fundamentally change what American society is. This is a “both sides” issue. Just understand that without fundamental changes to the inequality and cruelty of our economic and political life, something that I think we can all agree the establishments on both sides have shown an utter unwillingness to undertake.

Foothills residents are not Scottsdale residents, even though the two share a ZIP code. Scottsdale, however, has been one of the largest suppliers of water to the rural community.

"We've been telling them for five years since this began that we are not their permanent water solution," said Valerie Schneider, Scottsdale Water's Public information officer. "At some point, we have to realize this is our water, we're in a drought, we're in a Colorado River shortage so we have to take a stance."

A majority of people say they feel that they will be personally affected by global warming in only two states, California and Hawaii. In most of the other 48 states, there is concern about the issue, but not concern that they personally will suffer ill effects." ---- So even though New York was flooded last summer, the west coast was on fire last summer literally and figuratively with both fires and extreme heat, the west running out of water and Denver on fire in the winter - how are they not being affected?

Covid change -

Climate scientist warn of countries going to start geoengineering earth - Source

What is geoengineering? To geoengineer the planet, all a nation has to do is inject aerosols like sulfates into the stratosphere. There the aerosols would disperse throughout the Earth’s atmosphere, where they’d would bounce back the Sun’s radiation — thereby, in theory, cooling the planet. It might sound like science fiction, but this same phenomena can be seen when global temperatures dip following a large volcanic eruption. But the full impact might be disastrous. In fact, geoengineering could result in worsening weather conditions in certain parts of the world, according to Wired.

Over three decades of drilling in the Amazon, Chevron deliberately dumped more than 16 billion gallons of toxic wastewater and 17 million gallons of crude oil into the rainforest. Chevron committed ecocide to save money—about $3 per barrel. Many experts consider it the biggest oil-related disaster in history, with the total area affected 30 times larger than the Exxon-Valdez spill. Chevron created a super-fund site in the Amazon rainforest that is estimated to be the size of Rhode Island.

The climate apocalypse is coming. To prepare for it, we need to admit that we can’t prevent it. By Jonathan Franzen - September 8, 2019

"Even at this late date, expressions of unrealistic hope continue to abound. Hardly a day seems to pass without my reading that it’s time to “roll up our sleeves” and “save the planet”; that the problem of climate change can be “solved” if we summon the collective will. Although this message was probably still true in 1988, when the science became fully clear, we’ve emitted as much atmospheric carbon in the past thirty years as we did in the previous two centuries of industrialization. The facts have changed, but somehow the message stays the same........"

Job and unemployment stories:

Job Openings are at a Record High. Why Aren’t People Going Back to Work? - source
All markets have friction. A friction is anything that prevents a buyer and seller from transacting instantaneously. If a shopper has to go to multiple stores to find an item, or comparison shops before purchasing, or doesn’t live close to a store carrying the product — all of these are examples of frictions. In the labor market, where the shoppers are employers and the sellers are workers, a friction creates slower hiring and higher unemployment. The labor market has lots of frictions, but they aren’t all necessarily negative. A healthy savings account that enables a worker to take time to find the right job, rather than the first job available, is a friction. The need to live near aging parents, which puts a geographic boundary on a job search, is a friction. The pandemic is still introducing new frictions. In its Job Seeker Survey, also collected in June, the Indeed Hiring Lab found that the top reasons for not searching too hard or urgently for a job are Covid-19 concerns and child care demands.

The workforce system is doing what it was designed for.

VICE: Season Two Episode 3 (2014) - source
Cities like Detroit and Cleveland are at the forefront of a new phenomenon: scrapping. People left behind are literally ripping apart old schools, houses, hospitals and factories for raw materials to hawk to local scrap yards for cash. Scrap metal is one of the United States’ biggest exports, with billions of dollars’ worth traveling to China every year, where it’s invested in their infrastructure. The price for a pound of copper, for example, is about five times more than it was in 2002. Correspondent David Choe looks at the life cycle of scrap metal, from the people who risk their lives to find it, to the yards that buy it, all the way to the Chinese traders who take it back home to build their economy and to sell back to the U.S. at a higher profit.

Crushing climate impacts to hit sooner than feared: draft UN report - source

The AFP had exclusive access to a draft of the next, 4000-pages IPCC report (scheduled to be released in February 2022). The draft does not, sadly, appear to be publicly available, only articles they wrote about it. As expected, this time around and based on updated models the report is much more alarming, saying among other things that the effects of climate change will be "cataclysmic", that strong effects will be felt "long before" 2050, that on current trends we're headed for a warming of 3C at best, that Humanity should "face up to this reality and prepare for the onslaught", and they also warn of feedback loops, saying they have identified "a dozen temperature trip wires". 

It also includes this quote: "Life on Earth can recover from a drastic climate shift by evolving into new species and creating new ecosystems," it says. "Humans cannot."

Utah Gov.

The governor said the current lack of water has the potential to damage crops, hurt wildlife and cause deadly wildfires. “We need more rain and we need it now. We need some divine intervention. That’s why I’m asking Utahns of all faiths to join me in a weekend of prayer June 4 through the 6th,” he added......NOOOOOO you should have listened to climate science.

NOW THAT Jeff Bezos’s space flight company Blue Origin has lost a multibillion contract to Elon Musk’s SpaceX, Congress is prepping the ground for Bezos to win a contract anyway, ordering NASA to make not one but two awards. Bezos’s Blue Origin lost its bid for a major NASA contract to Elon Musk, but the Senate is ordering the agency to give a second one now. The order would come through the Endless Frontier Act, a bill to beef up resources for science and technology research that’s being debated on the Senate floor this week. An amendment was added to that legislation by Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., to hand over $10 billion to NASA — money that most likely would go to Blue Origin, a company that’s headquartered in Cantwell’s home state.

Droughts are deviations from the norm. What we have now is no deviation. It is the norm itself. Our climate has changed. As much water falls from the sky as before, but at different times and in different ways."

Broadband ISP's paid for 8.5M fake net neutrality comments - source
"The Office of the New York Attorney General said in a new report that a campaign funded by the broadband industry submitted millions of fake comments supporting the 2017 repeal of net neutrality. The proceeding generated a record-breaking number of comments — more than 22 million — and nearly 18 million were fake, the attorney general’s office found. It has long been known that the tally included fake comments."

Why can’t companies find workers (for low pay) - source

Patriot Act 2.0?
"The Biden administration is considering using outside firms to track extremist chatter by Americans online, an effort that would expand the government's ability to gather intelligence but could draw criticism over surveillance of US citizens. The Department of Homeland Security is limited in how it can monitor citizens online without justification and is banned from activities like assuming false identities to gain access to private messaging apps used by extremist groups."

MIT researchers say you're no safer from Covid indoors at 6 feet or 60 feet in new study challenging social distancing policies - source
An MIT study showed that people who maintain 60 feet of distance from others indoors are no more protected than if they socially distanced by just 6 feet. According to the researchers, other calculations of the risk of indoor transmission have omitted too many factors to accurately quantify that risk. "We need scientific information conveyed to the public in a way that is not just fear mongering but is actually based in analysis," Bazant said. After three rounds of heavy peer review, he said it's the most review he's ever been through, and that now that it's published he hopes it will influence policy.

The Climate Real Estate Bubble: Is the U.S. on the Verge of Another Financial Crisis? - source
"In the future, more homeowners could default on their mortgages, driving down prices in communities even for those whose homes are less vulnerable (to climate change issues). Banks might stop lending, depriving the community of the capital to recover. “Potentially, we’re looking at a wave of mortgage defaults that would be similar to the subprime crisis in how it would play out,” says Michael Craig, an economist at the Department of Housing and Urban Development. As disaster unfolds, homeowners in cities across the country might start considering their own climate risk and run for the hills."

China creates first digital currency, first major economic power to do so (U.S. dollar reserve status) - source
More proof of why crypto is here to stay.
“In order to protect our currency sovereignty and legal currency status, we have to plan ahead,” said Mu Changchun, who is shepherding the project at the People’s Bank of China. Digitized money could reorder the fundamentals of finance the way Amazon.com Inc. disrupted retailing and Uber Technologies Inc. rattled taxi systems. That an authoritarian state and U.S. rival has taken the lead to introduce a national digital currency is propelling what was once a wonky topic for cryptocurrency theorists into a point of anxiety in Washington. Asked in recent weeks how digitized national currencies such as China’s might affect the dollar, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell have said the issue is being studied in earnest, including whether a digital dollar makes sense someday.

Death by a thousand cuts - Archegos and what's happening with the GameStop stuff - source and the reddit post
Archegos defaulted on margin calls from several global investment banks, including Credit Suisse and Nomura Holdings as well as Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley. Why this is a big deal. Banks could have a huge sell off which is really bad. And the banks are already bracing for huge fallouts of this. Investment banks Credit Suisse and Nomura said they would incur significant losses after the U.S.-based hedge fund was forced into a fire sale of assets and defaulted on its margin calls.

-Cash will be worthless
-Innocent people will get screwed because Bonds are now worth nothing, their capital management firm just went bankrupt losing savings, boomer stocks plummet as they are all being sold off by big bears trying to obtain liquidity for themselves.

'Immediate and drastic.' The climate crisis is seriously spooking economists - source

“Nearly three-quarters (74%) of economists agree "immediate and drastic" action is warranted to curb emissions, according to a survey released Tuesday from the Institute for Policy Integrity at the NYU School of Law. That's up sharply from 50% in 2015. Since that time, the United States has been hit by an onslaught of extreme and deadly weather events including Hurricane Maria, massive wildfires in California and this year's deep freeze in Texas. With those floods, wildfires and hurricanes occurring more frequently, the financial toll from the climate crisis is expected to rise dramatically: Economic damage from climate change is projected to reach $1.7 trillion per year by 2025 and surge to roughly $30 trillion annually by 2075 under most scenarios, according to consensus forecasts included in the survey.”

People gave up on flu pandemic measures a century ago when they tired of them – and paid a price - source

"If we have anything to learn from the history of the 1918 influenza pandemic, as well as our experience thus far with COVID-19, however, it is that a premature return to pre-pandemic life risks more cases and more deaths. And today’s Americans have significant advantages over those of a century ago. We have a much better understanding of virology and epidemiology. We know that social distancing and masking work to help save lives. Most critically, we have multiple safe and effective vaccines that are being deployed, with the pace of vaccinations increasingly weekly."

Nearly half the U.S. is in drought and conditions are expected to grow worse, NOAA says - source

“In many of the drought impacted areas, rangeland and winter pastures have already experienced adverse effects,” said Jon Gottschalck, a meteorologist at NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center, referring to a historic Arctic outbreak that brought dangerous cold and snowy conditions to the central and southern U.S. in February. Hotter-than-average temperatures this spring and low soil moisture will fuel and expand drought conditions in the southern and central Great Plains and southern Florida, forecasters said. In the northern Plains, drought conditions could grow worse depending on how much rainfall the area experiences.

"Is the US At Risk of a Roman Republic-Style Collapse? This Historian Says Yes." - source

"When people say “This is the end of the Roman Empire,” that's when I say, I don't think that's true. This is not a situation where we are entering total state collapse and there is going to be like a kingdom of California, a confederation of principalities. I don’t think we’re at that kind of state collapse. That would be overblown. The United States as an entity will continue on. 

But when you're talking about its political system, what does American democracy look like, what does representative government look like, what does a participatory government look like? For 500 years the Romans had a fairly participatory system. It was an oligarchy run by rich senators, but there were assemblies ... Those guys did still have to troll for votes. They still needed to win elections in order to get ahead."

"Curtis’s new BBC series, Can’t Get You Out of My Head, depicts the repetitive bleakness of individualism, but how can we collectively envision an alternative? Curtis suggests that the future has been cancelled because political leaders no longer have ideas for what’s next. Instead, he argues, they run campaigns of perception management – a term originated by the US military to describe the manipulation and distribution of selected information into foreign countries. These control systems move us from states of hysteria and fear to apathy, indignance and then back again. A recent event like r/wallstreetbets – in which online Reddit traders challenged Wall Street elites at their rigged financial system – is an example of a shock that was momentarily all-consuming then almost forgotten in our minds."

Americans are trying to win their freedom from capitalism, which is a system that has failed them completely, producing a failed state on the level of the Soviet Union. But, and this is the sad and funny part, they are trying to win their freedom from the poverty and depredation of capitalism by becoming little capitalists. How can that ever really work out? And yet Americans no know other way. This is all they have ever been taught, all they know, understand, have been conditioned to want."
