Maddog @ 13:42 LOL!
I shouldn’t discourage you, because it is exactly that fear that keeps the Rif-Raf out of my neighborhood, and off my island! But I know the geology here well. We may be on the most active volcano on the planet, but it is a ‘shield volcano’ unlike most others on the planet. It just plain is incapable of massive explosive outbursts like every other ‘subduction volcano’ in the world. When the lava flows here, it is slow and there is plenty of time to get out of the way. The greater threat here is Tsunamis generated anywhere around the Pacific rim by OTHER exploding volcanoes and earthquakes. I’m in the middle of the bathtub here that sometimes has a great ‘slosh’ of water.
For a reference point, Hilo, Hawaii is called the most disaster-prone city in the country. It has been, and continues to be threatened by Hurricanes, Tsunamis, Lava flows, and earthquakes.

He brought up a good question amongst others. In so many words if the Feds had a choice of saving the economy predominantly ” working middle class and poor” or the banks, which one do you think they’ll want to save?
Looks like AI is going to cause a lot of damage.
Now filing people tax returns for those who get them to someone else.
The irony just like the computer bubble that was outsourced, it’s going to affect not just jobs by replacing people with computers, but this time even computer jobs by AI computers itself. That’s a lot of jobs, even wall street.

Presumably you’ll be saying the same, ……..’Just another day on the volcano.’……..when the Big One happens…..as u go past the Moon on yr way out of the Solar system…….
Now we’ll see what happens in the north

Are u anywhere around NY. Now they’re saying on the News their dumb mayor you got telling people just lay down and cover your neck in a quake. That’s stupid.
They did say Californians told them that is wrong. Get outside or go in a doorway. I agree with getting out of you recognize it I immediately and can get out fast and beware of any porch or over hang that cam fall and get clear but the doorway thing might be okay in a small one but not a big one. I saw what happened to open doors in big one. The split in two. Anyone standing in those doors would of been impaled or stabbed in the abdomen with wood. If you have to get down in a fetal position. At the Veterans the roofs collapsed and many doors all together. Of they would of got to the floor next to the bed many would of survived. Same for cars under bridges. Many would of survived if they could get out of the car fast and laid down making them self as low and small as possible next to the car except maybe cars at the edge in or out that also could of got out fast and got away. Even today I leave a lot of space between me and a car on any bridge because if I feel a quake I’m not just gonna sit there. For many reasons they need to make one snap release on infant and children in car seats.

Dale Robertson lived just a few miles from me and was often in local cafes. He had nothing good to say about Barbra Stanwyck.
Stanwyck, at age 45, had a four-year romantic affair with 22-year-old actor Robert Wagner that had begun on the set of Titanic (1953)
a one-night stand with Farley Granger,
Political views
A conservative Republican, Stanwyck opposed the presidency of Franklin D. Roosevelt. She felt that if someone from her disadvantaged background had risen to success, others should be able to prosper without government intervention or assistance.[92] For Stanwyck, “hard work with the prospect of rich reward was the American way.” She became an early member of the Motion Picture Alliance for the Preservation of American Ideals (MPA) after its founding in 1944. The mission of this group was to “combat … subversive methods [used in the industry] to undermine and change the American way of life.”[93][94] It opposed both communist and fascist influences in Hollywood. She publicly supported the investigations of the House Un-American Activities Committee, and her husband Robert Taylor testified as a friendly witness.[95] Stanwyck supported Thomas E. Dewey in the 1944 and 1948 United States presidential elections.[96][97]
*************************************************************************************
A fan of Objectivist author Ayn Rand, Stanwyck persuaded Warner Bros. head Jack L. Warner to purchase the rights to The Fountainhead before it became a bestseller, and she wrote to Rand of her admiration of Atlas Shrugged.[92][98]
Stanwyck was one of the best-liked actresses in Hollywood and maintained friendships with many of her fellow actors (as well as crew members of her films and TV shows), including Joel McCrea and his wife Frances Dee, George Brent, Robert Preston, Henry Fonda (who had a longtime crush on her),[82][83] James Stewart, Linda Evans, Joan Crawford, Jack Benny and his wife Mary Livingstone, William Holden, Gary Cooper, and Fred MacMurray.[84] During filming of To Please a Lady, Stanwyck refused to leave her African-American maid Harriet Coray in a hotel only for African-American people and insisted that Harriet stay in the same hotel as she did. After much pressure from Stanwyck, Coray was allowed to stay in the best hotel in Indianapolis with Stanwyck and the rest of the cast and crew.[85]
Stanwyck, at age 45, had a four-year romantic affair with 22-year-old actor Robert Wagner that had begun on the set of Titanic (1953)[86] before Stanwyck ended the relationship.[87] The affair is described in Wagner’s 2008 memoir Pieces of My Heart.[88] In the 1950s, Stanwyck also had a one-night stand with Farley Granger, which he wrote about in his autobiography Include Me Out: My Life from Goldwyn to Broadway (2007).[89][90][91

Problem is… they crack their frames! These all awaiting repairs.

That little earthquake…
East coasters aren’t used to them, that’s all. Here on Hawaii Island, a 4.5 quake is just another day shakin’. “Did you feel that?” “I’m not sure… maybe.” We have daily 2.5 quakes along the south shore as the mountain settles. Personally, I rode my office chair like a bronco for 40 seconds thru a 6.9 roller. No damage. Just another day on the volcano.

COT Report – FWIW
The funds look like they’re playing a different game to me in the gold market.
CFTC Commitments of Traders Report – CMX (Futures Only)
Great week. Hope the Capt. is right and the Crimex is breaking. If so, these moves will just get bigger and the 2% rule in gold should go by the wayside. Hope so.
HUI looks good, sitting right at possible resistance. If we correct Monday it would make sense. If the metals are in breakaway mode, then there’ll be no resistance.
Bullcrap!
NYC to settle massive lawsuit because NYPD forced Muslims to remove hijabs for mug shots
That was quite a week for us! I could get used to that.
Have a good weekend everyone!
Mr Copper
I can go on and on about wages but here’s another. If family’s, especially single family makes under a certain amount they can get reduced or free healthcare but for working get reduced health care or could. On top of that could get rental help if lucky with long waiting list now impossible and maybe food stamps. But with wages going up they lose those options and wind up paying more than when they earned less. How convenient for the government. Inflate, pretend how they’re helping people they pushed into poverty after all three deductions not counting car insurance highest in the nation again because of gov according to insurance to get to work plus tax on gas ca ching for government for even going to work now tells the ones eligible sorry you make too much now.
Mr Copper
And remember prez Obamanation. I was done with child care cost and family medical insurance costs that was with everything was 200 month med insurance. It should of went down but with Obozo it went up to 600 a month including life insurance. My daughter in laws insurance was paid by my son but her sister who worked a government medical job no less had to pay 900 a month for her and her son that was apparently less than where her husband worked. Child care, insurance all comes out of your check. That’s all Gov BS.
Mr Cooper
Nope not a sheep, I hope, I was one of those women. In my case I wanted to work though. Maybe not that many hours and not bankers hours or easy on child care, another deduction from your check. But look back at cost of living then plus they didn’t have medical insurance they had to pay part of it even workman’s comp then that I remember, 401k plans they also contribute to.
Oh yeah and paid vacation. So what these chains are doing in these kind of jobs don’t give them full time but like 6 hours shifts. Even at 20 a hour esp 6 hr shifts minus taxes, gas or maybe child care isn’t enough for cost of living here. So both employees and business and add on regulations are getting ripped off by the people causing the inflation to pay the government welfare gravy train for themselves.
goldielocks @ 12:59 Its a transition survival of the fittest lately.
Evidently, the ONLY reason the pizza chain got in business and survived, was with artificially LOW wages. Don’t you think the global deep state engineered the low wages to CREATE cheap replacement jobs to replace off shored jobs? They FORCED wives to enter the workforce. Doubled the workforce with half pay jobs.

Right, trading hasn’t been sane since it went mechanical. It should be outlawed.
If he doesn’t want to worry about the drop he could day trade or put in trailing stops but it is ridiculous. Like some game and it’s not a game, it’s people’s money they’re messing with like they’re fixing the numbers. That’s how they can get killed to when their auto trades go against them, especially if their short and market gets flooded with buys.
Mr Cooper 12:54
Yep a pizza chain immediately laid of I think over a 100 employees. Plus prices will go up again.
