Now we have exploding birds.
I wonder if they’re being baited or eating something with metal then get in the power lines. They get on the power lines but not all die and from all over so can’t be a single sniper shooting for no reason. Maybe a power surge? Witness hear a pop and they fall from the sky..
And here’s your current leader

Look! He’s got a pen! the other guy looks like he’s got all the candy …..
ipso 8:57 they’d also had federal grants of $35m.
Which means, adding on the $41.5m due to the bank means they’d burnt through $80m. One of the reasons given for the filing was:
“additional causes of Aspire’s financial troubles … the drying up of government grants and cost reimbursement programs it previously relied on”
Like anything green it only runs on subsidies. I hope the remaining crickets will be humanely released into a nice wheat field somewhere.
how many total are employed (doing nothing) re global warming
As of 2024, there isn’t a precise global count of individuals employed specifically in roles dedicated to combating global warming. However, various estimates and projections provide insight into the scale and growth of climate-related employment:
? Global Climate-Related Employment
-
Clean Energy Sector: In 2022, the global energy sector employed approximately 67 million people, with clean energy jobs accounting for over half of this total—about 35 million positions. CSIS
-
Projected Job Growth: The International Labour Organization (ILO) estimates that transitioning to a greener economy could create 24 million new jobs worldwide by 2030, provided appropriate policies are implemented. International Labour Organization+3Wikipedia+3International Labour Organization+3
?? Climate-Related Employment in the United States
-
Occupational Health Risks: Approximately 65.7 million nonelderly adult workers in the U.S.—about 44% of the workforce—are employed in occupations with increased risk for climate-related health issues. These roles include agricultural and construction workers, emergency responders, and others exposed to extreme heat, poor air quality, and severe weather events. KFF+1World Bank Blogs+1
-
Clean Energy Jobs: In 2022, employment in clean energy storage, grid technology, and modernization supported 146,811 jobs, while electricity transmission and distribution accounted for over 703,000 jobs. Environmental and Energy Study Institute
? Summary
While exact figures vary, it’s evident that millions of individuals globally are engaged in roles directly or indirectly related to addressing climate change. The clean energy sector alone employs tens of millions, and projections suggest substantial job growth in climate-related fields in the coming years.
If you’re interested in more specific data or information about climate-related employment in a particular region or sector, feel free to ask!
how many total employed by the EPA
As of September 2024, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) employed approximately 17,000 individuals, accounting for about 10.2% fewer staff than in 2010. This figure includes both permanent and temporary employees across its headquarters in Washington, D.C., and its 10 regional offices.USAFacts
However, the EPA is currently undergoing significant restructuring under Administrator Lee Zeldin, appointed in early 2025. The agency has announced plans to reduce staffing levels to those of the 1980s, which would entail substantial layoffs. Specifically, the Office of Research and Development is set to be dissolved, with its 1,500 scientists competing for 400 new positions in other departments. AP News+5Wikipedia+5The Guardian+5Reuters+1WIRED+1
These changes are part of a broader initiative to streamline the agency’s operations, align with the current administration’s policy goals, and reduce costs. Critics argue that such restructuring may compromise the EPA’s scientific independence and effectiveness in enforcing environmental protections.ReutersThe Guardian+1WIRED+1
Given these developments, the total number of EPA employees is expected to decline significantly in the near future.
@ipso facto My Thoughts Also
The started a wind farm off the south shore of Long Island and the Fed stopped it in its tracts. Now its costing the company $51 million a week. Its about time. And they are putting a stop on engines that shut down when you stop at a light. Everything is in reverse.
I believe they started the global warming nonsense to create fake jobs, because they started it when they started exporting our manufacturing jobs back around 1970 the created the EPA,

“Global warming” What a bunch of hooey! You’re right that BS adds to everyone’s expenses.

The algo has Silver and Gold moving in lockstep today.
And RSI is 24.5 for Silver, and 27.2 for Gold.
Moment of truth?
10 yr above the deadly number now at 4.53%
PM shares look about sold out, maybe ready to bounce before the next leg down?
They’ve been ridiculously undervalued during the entire run. Even more now.
@ ipso facto re The Art Of Losing
The author forget about all the phony climate change rules. They give us lots of unneeded expenses, plus tax breaks, and they haven’t worked at all to control the weather.

HARVARD BARGAINS WITH TRUMP ADMINISTRATION AND LOSES ANOTHER $450 MILLION IN FEDERAL GRANTS (The Daily Signal)
DAILY CALLER NEWS FOUNDATION—Harvard University President Alan Garber sent a letter to Secretary of Education Linda McMahon Monday asking for the ability to address issues on campus, such as antisemitism and discrimination, without federal oversight, prompting the Trump administration to revoke additional grants from the school Tuesday.

You want to hope gold gets smashed down to the 200-day moving average – which should be about 2850ish by next month.
This will test the large round number at $3000 – which should clear any remaining bullish sentiment – not that much exists in the public.
This is when silver should start to outperform. And the smaller shares should begin to pick up – with the good ones skyrocketing into next year.
At least that’s the plan Stan if history is a good guide.
You want to see gold bounce off the 200-day MA.
That’s the key – a perfect correction/test.
Cheers

Buygold I’m not up to charting gold right now too many variables and have things going on myself so I checked in with Third eye.
Remember things could change on a dime but this is the possibility to watch. Google a flag and falling bull wedge chart, to draw out support resistance lines.
6:54am- Gold will bottom and reverse upwards soon. Currently back-testing its 34-day and forming what may turn out to be a flag/falling bull wedge.
Seems about time for this SM to take a breath as well
10 yr. at 4.49% flashing “danger”
I didn’t think NVDA would get all the way back into the $130’s from the $90 area, but the criminals got caught short and they had to unwind.
Just once
I’d like to see an epic comeback in this sector. Not sure there’s ever been one.
Although the Captain is probably right, it looks like they are exiting for the summer at least.
Birch gold has an analyst with big expectations for the July BRICS meeting and expects a big fall for the dollar. I have a harder time seeing how they can get the dollar to fall without backing a BRICS currency in some manner. They seem just as addicted to fiat as we are. I thought they were already backing major trade deals with gold among the BRICS countries, but I don’t know.
Whatever mon’ 🙂

You’d think judges would have good judgement. They’re making a mockery of the civil rights era. She should be impeached.
Captain Hook @ 9:42
There may be many zig zags but I’m not too worried. We are in the right sector for the long term. Getting upset about temporary declines is only for people who trade short term. Now if we go down 3 or 400 bucks I will be a tad concerned. ![]()

She should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Arrogance is a dangerous thing!
ipso facto @ 9:21
I did warn about this.
Looks like the official prop desks intend to drive stocks as high as possible before the treasury refunding begins in earnest during the third quarter.
That’s when a bid should come back into the sector – especially if the refunding does not go well.
The fact the BRICS meeting is set for July is no coincidence in my thinking – as they are undoubtedly trying to make things as difficult as possible for an overly confident Western Alliance breaking apart at an accelerating rate.
If Daddy Warbucks begins to have real fun in July – the third quarter could be fun for PMs if US rates remain high – bringing a bid back into PMs.
I’m sure that’s the BRICS plan – Treasury’s plan is a little more up in the air in my opinion.
Looks like they want to keep all the bubbles inflating right through like nothing is happening.
No problem – just hang out in Jamaica man – light one up – and nobody will notice a thing.
