So Many Motorcycles Out Today!

Does anyone know why there are so many motorcyclists driving on Rt. 32 today? Pappy's Run used to be on the Sunday before Memorial Day but that event hasn't happened for many years now

Not whining- it’s business.

I’ve succeeded at my job for 9 years. I’m getting laid off in 86 days. I found out on Tuesday
Based on an ROI algorithm, I make too much money, despite great YE reviews and raises. My company also spent $38B on a snacking company, so you can kinda see how this works. I have an interview in around 10 days with another company , and I can get this job easily and won’t lose much in finances. More importantly, what I am I really getting at, is having an outlet you love. Prior to this nonsense, I snagged these 3 gems. A great 80s band, a highly influential to me 90s band and a newer band from Maine. There will obviously be an adjustment, but at least I have something I love to take my mind off of this nonsense.

Why China?

“🇺🇸🇨🇳 Why did all these powerful people go with Trump to kneel in China?

The answer is access to rare materials.

The reality is that Tesla, Apple, Boeing, GE Aerospace, and all the others desperately need China, while Beijing structurally needs them less and less.

China controls 70% of global extraction, 85% of refining, 90% of permanent magnets, and 99% of dysprosium and terbium, without which no F-35 fighter jet takes off, no MRI machine works, and no iPhone starts up.

And the card with which the US could blackmail China - semiconductors - is already completely exhausted. SMIC produces 7nm chips using DUV multipatterning, Huawei's Ascend competes with Nvidia on AI inference, QiMeng designs RISC-V chips via AI, and SMEE has announced its first domestic EUV machine for 2027.

The US is now totally dependent on China and its military machine without China will completely fail.”

We knowingly depleted our stockpiles

The smoke being blown up our a’s is about the only thing we can rely on.

Once we’re unable to pay our mortgages rent and bills there will be a strike by default, maybe we’re better off prepared…
