Yep. Trump’s a swell guy. Loves space. Loves dogs , cats, and geese. Will pass an executive order to allow dogs, cats, and geese to join space force. What more could you ask for in a president. Best president in history. A second term even better. What could go wrong?

What about Elon…

Honestly was thinking the same. Now we sit and wait for what the response will be… 😬

And so it seems the escalation many worried would be the case has been confirmed. What a mess. I have a bad feeling about this.

Well that did it for me. I’m voting Harris!

It’s just insane. Seriously. I can’t wrap my head around so many of these businesses.

And may they fail… gloriously.

Like so many other companies…

Will they learn though. Will this strike be the beginning of something…

🤞🏽

This is remarkably helpful in clearing things up. Thank you very much!

With the government of Lebanon allowing Hezbollah this kind of status, it would seem that Israel is not just targeting a terrorist organization but the government of Lebanon itself since it permits and supports Hezbollah as part of its own government.

Considering that most Lebanese don’t support Hezbollah, this is even more tragic. Israel continues to lay waste to the country due to the actions of a minority government entity. And it’s the Lebanese citizens who are paying the price.

I presumed that this was more lucrative for them and why it’s the case…

There’s never been a greater need for social entrepreneurial ventures, but they just aren’t compatible with capitalistic societies.

Imagine insurance companies there for the benefit of people when tragedy strikes but limiting costs to simply running operations and very limited profit.

Not a single executive with experience would ever want to work at such a place because they would be paid a fraction of what they could at any other company… But goodness it would be incredible for social businesses to become the prevalent model.

The closest I can think of at the moment in the United States is Mark Cuban’s Cost Plus Pharmacy. Probably much can be said about his wealth and how he achieved it, but… the pharmacy has been a huge boon for people.

Keep going. Still so much to do. And certainly not just with Catholic churches.

I have to be honest, I’m still a little confused about the relationship of Lebanon’s sovereign government and Hezbollah. Are they synonymous? Is that how Israel is able to just lay waste to Lebanon as well without the world screaming about attacks on sovereign territory?

You know, I’m kind of curious why property insurance companies aren’t at the vanguard of tackling climate change…

M’kay.

I really, really wish the linked article explained more. What are they playing at? This is such a confusing level of control.

Eight in 20 U.S. Voters Planning to Cast Ballots Early

While riding home with my son this evening, I found myself apologizing to him. This world today–the people–are a profoundly unbelievable mess. He brought up things he’s read in the news and I hardly know what to say. We both understand how insane it all is, but people still believe it… truly…

I get it. The world has always been a mess. This mess today is simply uniquely ours at this time in history.

But…

My gods…

What…

The…

It’s heartbreaking that this completely utter rubbish exists at all and more still that it will be believed and there’s nothing no one can do to convince the believers otherwise. 😖

OP, absolutely love your username. 💜💯

To mitigate the impact of a second Trump presidency, Nato countries should support the creation of an allied multilateral lending institution, in practice a Nato bank, it says. This could “save nations millions on essential equipment purchases, offer low interest rates on loans to alliance members and introduce a new line of financing with longer repayment timeframes. The bank would be funded with initial subscriptions from Nato members in return for authorised capital stock”.

I won’t pretend to understand the financial workings of this. Trump is a menace and NATO leadership has good reason to feel as they do. What that said though, I think this may be a good decision regardless of who wins the presidency.
