@TonyColaneri Are you guys not medify?

@open_erv Corporation? Not sure I understand.

If you are from Illinois and care about healthier indoor air quality for our schools please see the tweet below

@NickNemo17 Ok. Great idea, but there is a better one. If you don't produce anything useful, you don't get paid any money, except a bit like a UBI so you aren't poor (for disability etc.). All these problems evaporate. Stop playing whackamole and just solve it all.

TLDR: I am a recovering alcoholic with no fund, no credentials, and no lobbyist. I rebuilt myself from nothing. Then I broke into finance with no degree, no pedigree, and no permission. I parsed SEC filings for a $31.5 billion private credit fund called Cliffwater. Not because anyone asked me to. Because nobody else would. The filings are public, but they are buried in footnotes that are not indexed, not searchable, and not structured for analysis. I have been told by fund managers that nobody even attempts this. Billions of dollars in pension capital, and the people who manage money for a living do not bother to read the filings. So I read them. Every loan. Every amendment. Every semi-annual PIK disclosure. 2,330 positions. I hand-researched fifty. I found 189 loans where borrowers are paying interest with more debt instead of cash. I found over 50 loans that are not generating enough cash to service their debt at all — carried at par on the books of a fund that has never reported a losing month in 41 months. The fund's Sharpe ratio is 3.75. Bernie Madoff — who was fabricating returns and could pick any number he wanted — ran a 3.5. He got caught because the numbers were too smooth by Markopolos. The greatest quant fund in history, Renaissance Technologies, runs a five or six. Cliffwater is claiming risk-adjusted returns that would be impossible even if you insider-traded with perfect information every single time, because the volatility of the underlying markets would still prevent it. Nobody asked questions. Bloomberg confirmed 14% redemptions 48 hours after I published. S&P cut the fund's outlook to negative this week. Cash on hand fell 76% in six months. This is not an isolated fund. This is the structure. $9.4 trillion in private equity. $3.5 trillion in private credit. They all pay their own valuation agents. The valuation agents decide what the funds are worth. No valuation agent has ever been fired for saying the number was too high. The marks produce the NAV. The NAV produces the fees. The fees come from pensions. The pensions come from firefighters and teachers and nurses in Oregon and California and Illinois who will never read a private placement memorandum in their lives. Wall Street ran out of rich people. The endowments were full. The sovereign wealth funds were tapped. So they went downstream — to 401(k)s, to retirement accounts, to interval funds sold to people who have no idea what they own. 1. Direct the SEC and FSOC to examine Level 3 fair value practices across interval funds and BDCs. 2. Require that valuation agents be independent of the funds they mark. 3. State publicly that the current self-marking regime creates systemic risk. 4. Mandate position-level mark disclosure for every fund that accepts pension capital. There are two ways this ends. It breaks all at once like 2008 and we fix it. Or it rots slowly like Japan: one fund blows up, six weeks of quiet, another one, and nobody connects it for a decade while a generation of retirees gets destroyed. I am not asking anyone to take my word for it. I am asking them to read the filings. If you know someone in the administration, a regulator, or anyone on a legislative committee, please send this to them. One person learned this from a one-bedroom apartment. Your government can too. The will is what is missing.

@TonyColaneri Yeah it's a start for sure. I can't help but notice a corporation is helping to write the laws, but I guess it's for the best this time.

@open_erv The earlier version relied on federal pandemic funds, so we needed to remove some provisions. We kept air quality monitors for all Illinois public school teachers, and educational materials (for the monitors, general IAQ topics, K-12 IAQ STEM exercises). A good step forward! 👍🙂

@FlavioEvan However, every single data point is in fact a person. One murder is too many. There are better ways to do things, the only reason they chose this is so they can spend more money on stupid stuff instead.

The Bottom Line: Let's be precise. 1 out of every 20 total deaths in Canada (about 5%) is from MAID. But if you look inside that 5%, it consists almost entirely of terminally ill, elderly patients—not depressed kids.

@maxdubler They did not get their land back fully, they are still ruled by the colonialist legal system. Mostly. That's a problem. True freedom is not like that.

The backstory here is that the Squamish people of what is now Vancouver were illegally dispossessed of this land a century ago. They sued, got their land back, and used their sovereignty to ignore local zoning rules and build 6,000 new homes over the objections of nearby NIMBYs.

@SmartairUk *how much* though. the dose makes the poison. We are removing a poison from the air. I do think it is significant, but we need to know for sure. Air purifiers are not free.

Most people think air purifiers are just for allergies 🤧 But research shows HEPA filters also lower blood pressure, reduce diabetes risk, boost productivity, cut virus spread, and reduce inflammation within 48 hours. One filter, six proven benefits. smartair.uk

@MaryK2022 Ok, if people don't react sensibly to this, it's on all your heads. Track down all the judges and all their buddies that support and enable this and throw them all out, or it will happen again, or worse people will just obey.

Its illegal to harvest rain water in the USA This is a matrix guys Thats what they want to do in Kenya

they are a little bit, but the vacuum between what makes sense and what they are doing is remarkable. I am more concerned with the active propaganda, which is hard to discuss and spot, but for instance we see the bots which someone is funding, and the way the media stilts things.

@ukhadds @sameo416 @open_erv Short version: they are -not retracting the denial of airborne transmission; -not advising the public on how to mitigate airborne transmission; -not spending on ventilation/filtration/UV/respirators/isolation. They = public health agencies; hospital/school bureaucracies

History is repeating itself. Great to see the failures of the past being recognised. Would be better to see people use our improved understanding moving forward.

Absolutely -the WHO was wrong too. However, those reading the literature should have recognised that the emperor had no evidence for its assertions.

There's also not a word about the active, ongoing propaganda, including actively funded social media bots etc. or the stuff described at …terdisinformationproject.substack.com/p/how-the-covi…

This covid-19 inquiry seems very much to be only another part of the larger propaganda campaign, imo. It's just like what I remember reading about the Challenger disaster inquiry, which Feynman provided an inside view on. The inquiry itself is as much of a clown show as what came before it, which it was supposed to be investigating. Same as the challenger disaster, the ruling class didn't deliberately plot to kill people, but the reality is their priorities were in a very distant place. This is exactly what happens when control over what happens to us is not in our hands, but someone else's, especially these "epstein class" people who generally have the purse strings. The absence of understanding of airborne transmission before the pandemic, despite it's obvious power and historical influence, is itself political. Not an organized conspiracy, but an outgrowth of what the ruling class does and doesn't want. They fund the crap out of things they want to find out more about, but this wasn't one of them. Any more than they funded research on smoking or lead or radiation early and effectively. They didn't want to know any more than they want us to know now! They already knew they didn't want to know. It matters to us, but not so much to them. That's political. This shit doesn't have to be on purpose to go just as far south.

@ukhadds The absence of more research before the pandemic on this important fundamental transmission route is itself political in origin to some degree though, I think. So the understanding and the politics are linked way way back through time.

@open_erv Dogmas are hard to shake. Personally, I don’t think it’s an active cover up, but rather people simply echoing what they are told and hoping that it’s true. Reality is a lot scarier to deal with. That said, at some point it was too obvious to deny.

Yeah but nobody wants to fight, and in reality their bread was buttered on the wrong side, that's clear. The ruling class has well before the pandemic hated the idea of work from home or the refractory nature of preventing airborne transmission. Denial was I think always the plan.

I don't think it's that hard, really. Portable air purifiers and far-uvc would pretty much do it. ERV would be a good idea but that's not a major reno. They however do have other motivations that add up to the same things, for example they hated how people found other ways to live, not going to restaurants etc. nearly as much. They also hated work from home as commercial real estate rents went out the window. They fear liability for sure, but seriously the actual cost of clean air has got to be the least of it. It's really not very expensive in perspective.

because acknowledging most pathogens are airborne means renovating every public building, providing free respirators to the whole population, and cleaning the air. and they don’t want to do so they shift it on individual responsibility and everyone just needs to wash their hands!

people will really say anything to self-persuade they don’t need to wear a mask. they’re so terribly scared of the new reality that will unveil if they acknowledge they in fact do, of all the harm they’ve caused to themselves and others.

As usual they are framing the whole thing like it was some honest mistake instead of deliberate attempts to cover up inconvenient truths. It's just like the investigation of the Challenger disaster, which Feynman blew open, revealing the corruption of the "inquiry" itsself. There were tons of people trying to tell everyone since the very beginning that it was airborne, and it was deliberately hushed up.

Thank you @jim_reed The COVID-19 pandemic has taught us that healthy indoor air quality (IAQ) is just as important as clean water. We spend about 90% of our lives breathing indoor air, which is often polluted and threatens our health as well as our success at school and at work.

@MokaMikiTara There are many other ways, AI is a useful tool and should be leveraged however. Forfeit it at your own peril.

@open_erv Is there no other way? Many aspects very concerning

I'm actually investigating using AI for further improvements to the Big Quiet Fan blade geometry. It may seem too late, but not really. I don't have much hope it will help, but I want to give it a fair shake so that base is covered. It is also not unreasonable to change things in the future, perhaps in the years ahead as the technology improves, as the modularity allows for this without changing much else. However, it would be more economical and effective to do it now, so I shall spend a little time investigating, in a way that does not slow down or impede the progress towards mass production (there is some dead time here anyway).

@ThePollLady @DreamH29921 Yeah but people could have done it before, and they were clearly never going to. The taps had to be turned off. This may be one of the best things that's happened to humanity, and all it took was a couple missiles.

@DreamH29921 It’s not just about oil and gas. Fertilizers and chemical precursors are also affected. Sure, countries will eventually move to alternatives but it happen at much higher prices now And scaling production at this level takes years. Shortages are almost inevitable.

People don’t fully realize how bad things are going to get for everyone. Israel and the U.S. (which denies involvement) struck Iran’s South Pars gas field. In response, Iran targeted Qatar’s North Field. These are two halves of the same reservoir the largest natural gas field on the planet. This single shared field spans about 9,700 km², roughly the size of Qatar itself, and contributes close to 20% of global LNG supply. It took decades and around $70 billion to build the infrastructure. And now, both sides of it have been hit. Even more concerning this field is only about 10% depleted. That means 90% of its gas is still underground. In simple terms, a huge portion of the world’s future energy supply has just become impossible to access. Roughly 35–50% of India’s LNG imports come from here. We are not talking about a short-term disruption. Damage at this scale could take years, possibly a decade, to fully recover from. And the bigger truth is, the global energy landscape may have just been permanently altered for the worse. From an energy perspective, this is dangerously close to a worst-case scenario. Rationing and energy export bans may start appearing in many countries soon. India could follow likely after upcoming state elections pass. Trump knows he messed up. You can believe his denial of involvement in hitting Iran’s South Pars if you want, but realistically, there is almost no chance a strike of this sensitivity happens without full visibility from U.S. Central Command. Operations in that region don’t happen in isolation. At this point, it looks like the U.S. has lost control of its own foreign policy direction. The greatest miscalculation for Trump may not have been the strike itself but allowing the situation to escalate into this war in the first place. He thought Iran, weakened by sanctions, internal pressure, and prior U.S.–Israeli strikes on its nuclear infrastructure, would quickly fold and unconditionally surrender after initial shocks, including high-level assassinations. But that assumption now looks flawed. Instead of collapse, Iran responds with escalation. That is why a bully like Trump is posting “NO MORE ATTACKS WILL BE MADE” But it will be extremely difficult for Iran to return to any meaningful dialogue with US since they have repeatedly shifted from negotiations to military action.
