Heroin, cocaine users in Seattle may get country’s first safe-use site

Seattle could become the first city in the U.S. with a public site where users can inject and smoke hard drugs under medical supervision.

One local group plans to open a bare-bones safe-consumption site on a shoestring budget as soon as possible, while another group has launched an awareness campaign to build support among politicians and communities.

Proponents say one or more sites could reduce overdose deaths, HIV and hepatitis C transmissions and the number of used needles that litter sidewalks and alleys.

They say the sites would keep drug users alive long enough to seek treatment and give people on the margins of society means to access help.

The proponents point to Insite, a 13-year-old safe-injection site in Vancouver, B.C., where no overdose deaths have occurred. Founder Liz Evans spoke about the site to the Seattle City Council’s public-health committee last month.

Some council members were enthusiastic and Mayor Ed Murray says he wants to learn more. King County Sheriff John Urquhart says he’s leaning toward backing the safe-consumption sites idea.

“I was a narcotics detective, so I’m still trying to wrap my head around this,” Urquhart said. “But the more I hear, the more open I am to the possibility.”

Ipso – really good day for the shares. They are so close to breaking out. If we can manage another up day in the metals, maybe we’ll get that next leg up in the shares. Just hopin’

R640 –

“It’s most ironic, of course, that the perceived antidote to the pandemic of lying in America is this arguably crooked real estate developer and gambling casino tycoon Trump. The grand entrance of Trump, with his unfiltered mouth, into the political arena becomes a preliminary argument for sweeping away the accumulated sclerotic political baggage of four generations lucky enough to have lived in a world that briefly allowed to fantasy to override the laws of physics and human nature. What we really ought to worry about is what follows in the foul wake of Trump, both in awful circumstance and the as-yet-unknown cast of characters who will have to grapple with it.”

Nothing like a backhanded compliment from a blowhard like Kuntsler who of course refuses to acknowledge who the real culprits are. No need to worry, Republicrats will steal the election and hand the crown to Hillary. Courtesy of the media, Hollywood, the banksters and the fully owned Congress in the USA.

Minimum Wage

Posted by Mr.Copper @ 16:59 on April 5, 2016  

When I was making $1.25/hr it was one Morgan Silver Dollar per hour, $28 today. Also gasoline at .25 cents was 5 gallon gas per/hour. Butts .25 cents.

I think the average wage for general labor at the turn of the century in the US was about a dollar a day … or a bit under an oz of silver.

So maybe that fast food worker is gonna be paid around 8X times in silver what he should be paid or more likely the price of silver should be 8X what it is now.

Chalk one up for the good guys!

NY & CA pass $15 minimum wage

Posted by drb2 @ 15:30 on April 5, 2016  

NY & CA pass $15 minimum wage

 

So now a fast food worker essentially gets paid 1 oz. of Silver per hour.    8 per day

Uh Huh… sure.

I would love to see how long that would last.

An Unfiltered Mind

“He says what he really thinks.” That is the standard explanation for the astounding political rise of Donald J. Trump. Somehow the news media have missed the meaning of this: that the rest of political America refuses to say what it really thinks. Why is that and how can it be?

The simple answer: they’re afraid of how it will play on television. One error of the mouth and you’re politically crucified. You’re done. Taken out with the trash. Trump’s secret is that every error of his unfiltered mouth — and the hypothetical mind connected to it — emphasizes and celebrates his liberation from that fear. Trump is like the fabled Honey Badger of YouTube fame: he doesn’t give a shit. He just forges ahead through all the biting, stinging, snapping, yapping, odious, poisonous opposition in his dogged journey to the prize. As Trump might say: they love him and he loves them (for that).

The less simple answer is that America has become a matrix of rackets based on fraud, swindling, and extortion that can only support itself on lies, which form the armature that enables all the racketeering. That explains one of the central mysteries of Mr. Obama’s double term in the White House: why his Department of Justice never prosecuted (possibly never even dared to investigate) criminal misconduct in banking after the 2008 mortgage bond debacle. The Holy Trinity of Bank Fraud: Rubin, Geithner, and Summers paid him a call after election day and said, “Look here, fucker: one false move out of you in the direction of our friends doing ‘God’s work,’ and this whole house of cards comes fluttering down.” Hence, Obama appointed the trio to positions of authority and counsel, and the racketeering resumed without hindrance — to the greater affliction upon the common weal.

The issues at stake were apparently too abstruse for the public to grasp, so they just rolled with it clear to the statute of limitations and beyond. Of course, the trouble with operations based on lies is that sooner or later reality intrudes with all its implacable wrath and you get a mighty correction impossible to ignore. That is likely to be fate’s parting gift to Barack Obama. He will go out the way he came in: amidst financial maelstrom.

As only one example of the collateral damage to all this filtering of what’s real, note a consequence of zero interest rates (a swindle designed to prop up Too Big To Fail banks): ordinary people past their working years can’t earn any income from all the traditionally safe ways of doing this: savings accounts, certificates of deposit, and bonds. Due to my advanced age, I get vast and constant rafts of mailings from an outfit called AARP pretending to be the American Association of Retired Persons. (I don’t pretend to have any intention of retiring, by the way.) Not one of these incessant messages mentions the harm being done by zero interest rates to people of modest means beyond their earning years desperate to get by. If they happen to have, say, thirty-eight thousand dollars of savings, they can’t generate enough income off it to pay for their yearly ration of ibuprofen. That’s because AARP doesn’t represent the stakes of this group. AARP is an insurance racket. AARP is a charade designed for asset-stripping the hapless.

It’s most ironic, of course, that the perceived antidote to the pandemic of lying in America is this arguably crooked real estate developer and gambling casino tycoon Trump. The grand entrance of Trump, with his unfiltered mouth, into the political arena becomes a preliminary argument for sweeping away the accumulated sclerotic political baggage of four generations lucky enough to have lived in a world that briefly allowed to fantasy to override the laws of physics and human nature. What we really ought to worry about is what follows in the foul wake of Trump, both in awful circumstance and the as-yet-unknown cast of characters who will have to grapple with it.

ipso facto, re vitamin d

Posted by treefrog @ 12:01 on April 5, 2016  

the sunshine/vitamin d connection has a detail that most don’t realize.  if you bathe often, you interrupt the process.

sunshine converts certain elements found in natural skin oils into vitamin d which is then reabsorbed into the skin.  it takes some period of time for skin oils to build up on the skin, and even more time for the resultant vitamin d to be reabsorbed.  bathing (especially with soap) stops this process and it reverts to zero to start over.

shower daily and you get more dates, but less vitamin d.

shower weekly and you get more vitamin d, but less dates.

Good luck collecting …

“losing their ability to waterfall the metals in the overnight market”

That’s a very encouraging development!

Hope you’re right. Shares firming up a bit now. USD losing a little steam.

One thing seems true, the boyz seem to be losing their ability to waterfall the metals in the overnight market. Really surprising considering their record amount of short positions.
