90% automated today. Cost is higher than anticipated though

Troubling, as I want this to be completely free. And it's not that I can't shoulder the cost, but it's running about 5x over my anticipated budget.

I'm conflicted.

Thank You No1. I am appreciative of today's news density, even more than usual.

Do whatever is best.

No1's avatar

Yeah, I felt a bit overwhelmed. Although it is good because it had more depth and only took 1 minute more to read. So I'm fine with this too.

Format was different from the one from yesterday - so I had to revamp the automation process slightly 😉. Let's see tomorrow morning.

Thank You again, Sir.

Yeah, The West's central banks are going back to ZIRP survival mode & I hope that it buys some time before the inevitable, which No1 knows how badly things will deteriorate...

You see all those .mil war machines that are deployed like WWIII? That may just be an elaborate feint, with the main goal to bring troops readiness up-to-snuff & provide $$$ liquidity into the Mil Industrial Complex + banksters, which will trickle into the economy & markets.

It's all about stopgap measures now, with pie-in-the-sky dreams of America somehow, someway growing through the "4th Turning" in one piece, using existing "fiat" everything tools...

I don't think the admirals want an Iranian hypersonic missile to kill Abe Lincoln's aircraft carrier...

What do I know?

Bibi and Mossad want it BAD.

It's all a bit too much, isn't it?

But it's not just Israel, it's most of the blood thirsty savages over in that part of The World, as well as a few here & there that insist on hurting people.

They're everywhere, someday *normal* humanity (which is the majority) says "That's enough, you're done"...

The people who decide don't really suffer the consequences of their decisions...

This life is but a blink of an eye, eternity in outer darkness is forever.

The goal is to stay *normal* & innocent from the war against The Loving, Healing, Creative Power of Infinite Life.

Well, life is not really like the blink of an eye. I find it quite consuming and compelling. We are in a period where years can happen in weeks.

Full application of efforts is warranted, no?

"Full application of efforts is warranted, no?'

Depends on who, what, where & when the "efforts" are "fully applied"...

Spiritual Sanity = Simplicity

Without a unified civilization based upon certain "simple" rules-of-law there is no path forward.

So "efforts" have absorbed & diverted from civilization building into individual and/or tribal survival.

Well, that escalated quickly ✌︎ ㋡ ✌︎

You know that it's close to The End when the rats are fleeing the good ship USS America...

20 years ago there were hundreds of liars-for-hire that would sell their first child to get into the revolving-door of regulatory capture riches & power, with most ending up with big $$$ careers in white shoe law firms.

This. Time. It's. Different.

Let’s hope so! I waited long enough for it!

I truly hope not. He's terrible at dancing. I can't even fathom his singing!
