You never know where life is going to take you and if you plot your life out and it doesn't go to script you know because no plans survives contact with the enemy, this is where you wind up in this life
11:55. Every organization's mission statement, their first priority is survival. The sign they nail to the wall of a hallway is marketing. The real prime mover of every organization is survival. And so if the FED is under existential threat, wouldn't you expect the FED to act to defend itself? And in a world where we've been at zero bound for 15 years? And we have a Fed chairman who's been a critic, a harsh critic, the entire time he's been at the Fed of Bernanke and Yellen's zero bound interest rates and quantitative easing? Why would you expect that guy who has represented private equity interests in the past to be the same person and run the Fed the exact same way as Bernanke and Yellen did? It's a very good question. This isn't to paint the FED in a good light; it's to say What If the Fed is actually acting like it wants to defend itself, and what would that look like? The answer is, well, what it looks like today, and why we are at 5.5% and about to maybe go to 5.75% tomorrow night because we're doing this on Halloween right before the FOMC meeting.
If Schumer and McConnell refuse to back down on $100 billion worth of war funding, "Hey Jay [Powell], go to 6% and just remind everybody that war is expensive. And if politicians want to go to war, they should pay through their nose for it as opposed to us paying through the nose for it." And that's where the intersection of domestic policy, geopolitics, and finance and banking and monetary policy resides.
The central banks are facing an existential threat from the one-world order institutions, like the IMF and World Bank.
The wealth disparity seems to be trending down a very bad road, and I could give you the 1620 English Reformation, the French Revolution, Russian Revolution, Nazi Germany when the masses are so upset that they revolt. Bad things happen to those that are deemed to be "in power" or "have the money." They get taken out. What's going to stop that from happening? I'm seeing more and more cold Civil War like attitude here in the US. We have a massive deficit. We have a lot of problems. What's not to say that this isn't going to get really really bad?
15:30. Nothing. But maybe we have more friends than we think we have. I'm a staunch believer of a marginal utility this is a little elliptical but I'm going to get there
A root canal with a certain tooth can indicate cancer in certain parts of your body. He thinks that a good part of your health starts with what you eat, and obviously, that has to go through your mouth. He believes that dentistry . . . .

What made cigarettes so addictive was that the wrapper was laced with sugar.
Creation of the food pyramid was so highly politicized.
“Once we cross that line, all sorts of unethical misery ensues. As it has. The Christian sacrament of marriage states, “Those whom God hath joined together, let no man put asunder!” – there is no small print that reads, “Unless there’s a nasty bug going 'round, in which case forget it.”
From Bob Moran❤️:
“Disturbingly, out of all my artworks, this is the one most suppressed by Twitter. They really hate it. Likes and retweets are regularly removed. It can’t seem to get over 10,000 likes – even though it’s had more than 1.5 million impressions. The fact that they clearly view it as dangerous disturbs me every day. But it also gives me hope. It reminds us that we have something they not only lack but which they fear. Genuine, meaningful love. Something worth fighting for. Right to the very end.
“This black and white ink drawing was done some time in 2017 I think. I just doodled it on a postcard to raise money for an epilepsy charity. Someone, somewhere owns the original. I just liked the idea of this elderly couple. Perhaps this is where they first met. Perhaps it’s where he asked her to marry him. That might be their house down in the valley, where they’ve raised a family. At the time, I was living in a town in Hampshire but I was about to move back to the Somerset countryside where I grew up. I was probably thinking about returning home and staying there. I nearly put their initials carved into the tree trunk but decided it would be a bit much. You can imagine them on the other side.
“When all of this nonsense reached a certain point: When stories were coming out of married couples being kept apart, parents being forced to die without their children by their side, grandparents kept from their grandchildren for months on end as the children were told they might kill them if they saw them – I just couldn’t believe that people were agreeing to it. This image came back to me and I decided to recreate it in color. I thought it conveyed the power and significance of lifelong love quite well. But also, had a sense of freedom and embracing life with all it could throw at us.
“Finally, I thought perhaps the tree could remind people of the fleeting nature of our lives. It’s probably been there since before these two were born. And it will be there after they’ve gone. Our lives are short and we have to live them. Not just survive and exist. This, of course, was when I was still very much in ‘optimistic cuddly Bob’ mode. I still felt that it could all be stopped if enough people remembered some vital truths about the human experience.
“Once it was finished I tweeted it and wrote,
‘Never surrender your right to be with the people you love.’I hesitated because I felt that it was a statement of the obvious. But that was the whole point. People had forgotten the obvious. I realised that this had, in the space of a few months, gone from being a universal moral truth to a highly controversial statement. It certainly struck a chord with people. It’s the most popular image I have ever produced.
“As I expected, it angered a lot of idiots on the other side. “Unless being with the people you love might kill them.” They replied, clearly feeling like they had absolutely destroyed me. This total abandoning of logic and ethics really astonished me.
“I realized that these people could not see the difference between deciding, as a family, not to see each other because you are genuinely scared of a novel cold virus, and being ordered to stay apart by the government.
“What’s more, they clearly believed that this was the first time in human history when seeing your loved ones put them at some risk of a potentially fatal viral infection. What world did they think they had been living in?
“My message was deliberately absolutist and unconditional because that is how I have felt about all of this from the beginning. No circumstances, no level of threat, no risk of death can ever justify somebody in authority banning families from being with each other.
These comments remind me a bit of what Tom Woods said, "democracy hates real friendship, because [friendship] . . . is an exclusion from the mass of society."
Collagen is important for a youthful look. A good red meat diet is essential but adding collagen as we age is important too for function and appearance.
WHAT IS COLLAGEN?
Collagen is the most abundant protein in your body. It accounts for about 30% of your body’s total protein. Collagen is the primary building block of your body’sskin, muscles, bones, tendons and ligaments, and other connective tissues. It’s also found in your organs, blood vessels, and intestinal lining.
Proteins are made fromamino acids. The main amino acids that make collagen are proline, glycine and hydroxyproline. These amino acids group together to form protein fibrils in a triple helix structure. Your body also needs the proper amount of vitamin C, zinc, copper and manganese to make the triple helix.
