If this is an honest question, I’d say: Americans are rooting against America because we facilitated a genocide and followed it with a surprise attack on a girls elementary school followed by attacks on universities, medical centers, more schools, a world famous pharmaceutical research center, a volley ball team, an unfinished bridge we claimed was transporting weapons and then a nuclear power plant. We are now promising endless attacks on civilian infrastructure. We are hunting and targeting anyone who might be involved in ceasefire negotiations. Most people do not pay enough attention to have absorbed all the propaganda about the U.S. and Iran. So people coming to this fresh see us for what we are: absolute monsters. And monsters must be stopped. That’s why people are rooting against us and for civilization to prevail.

How did we get to the point Where so many Americans are rooting against America?

It’s shocking how openly and repeatedly the Western media tells you that they simply don’t consider brown people to be human. Among the first casualties of this war were 160 Iranian schoolchildren, but it takes a lost US pilot to bring a human dimension to the slaughter?
Hamza Yusuf@Hamza_a96

“It brings a human dimension to the war…” says Sky News’ military analyst about a missing American pilot from an F-15 jet. Has Sky News ever raised that same human dimension about the US and Israel’s carpet bombing of Gaza, Lebanon and Iran?

It’s going unnoticed because so much other news is happening, but the war drums are beating again in D.C. The warmongers worry this is their last chance to get the white whale they’ve been chasing for thirty years, an all-out regime change war against Iran. A new Middle East war would be a catastrophic mistake. Our military stockpiles are depleted from three years of backing Ukraine. Our effort to reshore manufacturing has only just begun and will take years to bear fruit. War would worsen our already immense deficit and national debt. Iran is larger than Iraq, Syria, and Afghanistan combined. A war would not be easy and could easily become a calamity. Thanks to President Trump’s restraint during his first term, America has a golden opportunity to pull away from Middle East quagmires for good. We shouldn’t throw that opportunity away so that sone D.C. has-beens can feel tough by sending young Americans to die yet again.

Call me crazy but... Maybe the guy who was Jeffrey Epstein's business partner and preaches about the return of the "antichrist" shouldn't be controlling all military intelligence, national security systems, ICE ops, HHS/NHS/FDA data, IRS fraud detection, predictive policing, CDC analytics, & 30+ government agencies? I know, I'm just a conspiracy theorist, right?

Seeing New York Times editors say NATO stands for "North American Treaty Organization" on the same day CNN claims Iranians might help the downed pilot who was trying to bomb them because they're happy he's there really illustrates how fucked western journalism is, doesn't it? I mean, this is some serious baby-brained thinking on display here. That New York Times headline made it through MULTIPLE checkpoints before publication without it ever even occurring to anyone to at least do a quick Google search to find out if the A in NATO really does stand for "American", and, if so, why are there so many European countries in it? That CNN analyst really does have such an infantile, children's cartoon worldview on American wars that she thinks the people being bombed by US fighter jets will want to hug them and kiss them and give them presents when they emergency eject into enemy territory. It's kind of amazing that any of the people involved in either of these incidents are working in news media at all. If you've ever wondered why so many Americans are so ignorant about what's going on in their world, it's because for generations these have been the kinds of people informing them about world events. These are the news outlets who've been responsible for creating an informed populace. And their reporting is shared with the entire western world. I constantly criticize the western press for its role in propagandizing the public to manufacture consent for evil wars and normalize an abusive political status quo. You cannot despise these manipulators enough for their role in the world's dysfunction today. But these two incidents highlight the fact that the people running the western press aren't just evil — they're also really, really stupid.

BoA’s shipper survey is one of the most reliable datasets to monitor the health of the freight market. In March 2022, it signaled the collapse in the freight market, alongside SONAR’s data. At the time, there was massive skeptism about the collapse of freight, as it had been white hot. It turned out that signal was an early warning about the Great Freight Recession. The fact that BoA is signaling bullishness now is further confirmation that the freight market recovery is real. The BoA survey has been around since 2012 and has a great track record of signaling market developments.
Neil Sethi@neilksethi

BoA: Underlying demand for freight remains solid despite fears of demand destruction post the Feb 28 start of the Iran/US war (from elevated fuel rates), and given continued supply removal. This week, our proprietary bi-weekly BofA Truckload Demand Indicator for shippers' 0- to 3-month freight demand outlook increased to 60.2, from 57.9 last survey. The Demand Indicator is up 18% yr-yr. The sustained strength in our BofA Truck Shipper Survey is a positive sign heading into the Spring shipping season.

“Someone decided to compress the kill chain. Someone decided that deliberation was latency. Someone decided to build a system that produces 1,000 targeting decisions an hour and call them high-quality. Calling it an “AI problem” gives those decisions and people a place to hide.”

“So, let's get this straight. You changed the bidding rules on the first phase?” “Yes, because the contractor we wanted failed the technical score. Eliminated.” “And this contractor, his nickname is "The Change-Order Artist" ... he is, in fact, notorious for ripping off the state of California?” “Oh sure, it's a whole business model. Partners with Richard Blum for years. You know, Feinstein's husband.” “OK. So, there were experienced bidders who had actually built HSR, who had core competency and a delivery record.” “Sure. But Ron's a big donor, you see. He also took a bath buying Miramax, so it was a way for the party to funnel some money back to him. Aside from the film tax credits, obviously. Jerry Brown pulled some strings.” “And the change orders?” “Not even any documentation needed. They tried an audit back in 2018, they found change orders for tens of millions of dollars without documentation. Easy money. Now they're sealing the records.” “They're ... sealing the records?” “People are starting to ask too many questions now, the public get antsy once you get up to half a billion dollars in a single change order, so the IG is going to shield the records. It might "harm the state" if people see them, haha.”

American Assn of Railroads April report was very strong, showing signs of industrial recovery: "US freight rail traffic posted some of its strongest readings in years, offering one of the clearest signals yet that the goods economy is regaining its footing."

The alley was originally built in the beginning of the 20th century. For some reason, it remained private property. For some other reason, it never got a name. And then it got foreclosed on and now me and @_patrickhult and @theombl are the three guys that own it.

⚡️The real answer is that the system is parasitic. It feeds on homelessness. It does not solve homelessness. Too many jobs, contracts, reputations, budgets, and political identities now depend on the problem remaining large, visible, and morally exploitable. The money does not move toward resolution. The money moves toward administration. That is why the numbers are obscene. A city can spend the equivalent of a full household income per homeless person and still leave the streets full of human ruin. That is a regime problem. The homeless person is valuable as a managed unit. Not as a restored human being. A restored human being exits the system. A managed human being justifies another grant, another contract, another department, another nonprofit gala, another election speech, another moral performance by people who never have to live near the consequences. The direct cash part is too naive. A lot of these people are not just broke . They are psychotic, addicted, shattered, predatory, incapacitated, or some mix of all five. A pile of cash does not rebuild a broken nervous system or stop a fentanyl spiral. Street disorder needs force, treatment, sorting, removal, and structure. Real housing for the salvageable. Institutions for the unsalvageable. Punishment for the predatory. Order for everyone else. That is the part the system refuses to do. Because the actual operating religion is not restoration. It is managed decay. Keep the money flowing. Keep the guilt flowing. Keep the bureaucracy growing. Keep the streets bad enough to demand funding. Keep them bad enough to prove compassion is needed. Never bad enough to force a real moral reckoning about what many of these cases actually are. So the clean truth is this. The system does not exist to end homelessness. The system exists to process homelessness. And processed suffering is one of the most profitable products a decaying city can produce.

🚨 do you understand what New York City just accidentally admitted.. NYC spent $81,705 per homeless person last year.. the median American household earned $81,228.. the government spent MORE to keep someone homeless than most families earned to keep themselves housed.. that $81,705 isn't going to the homeless person.. it's going to the system around them.. shelters, administrators, case managers, contracts, overhead.. the industry that manages homelessness.. not the end of it.. if NYC gave every homeless person that money directly.. they could afford nearly 2 years of rent.. most of them wouldn't be homeless anymore.. instead the money goes to the system.. the system keeps running.. the homelessness stays.. and every year they ask for more funding to manage the problem that the funding was supposed to solve.. the homeless are worth $81,705 a year to the system.. they're worth nothing to it solved..

I meant the elites and politicians that are leading us into these wars might make different choices if it was their children. It was hard for me to be angry and talk at the same time. I am thankful for to our troops who serve and are far braver than me. And also wtf do i know.
