POLITICAL MONKEY?

I think right now the high percentage of politics is due to that being the most pressing/likely thing we need to fear. I think the current situation here is not far from the start of the bloody revolutions that formed the Soviet Union and the CCP. Prevention is the best way to ensure survival.

I would expect that attention would turn to New Orleans and the other areas impacted by IDA as that not only represents a more likely threat potential, but there are undoubtedly other Monkeys directly impacted along with friends, family, and loved ones. The power outage alone to that many people represents an immediate threat along with loss of food, potable water, medical assistance. Many of these cross over into other disaster strategies for example EMP/CME, earthquake, etc, which could be man made or natural.

 

I'm glad I don't have any political views and stuff.
On a good note Oddcaliber has texted me, Trees down, roof shingles and siding coming off houses, No power No water.
He's hanging tough !

This is an angle I hadn’t considered. Personally, I’ve eliminated social media 100% for roughly the past year. I’ve found that I pass by a few sites similar to this, and hit a few financial news sites. The reason I read the content here is because I know the people personally, or feel like I do since we’ve shared thoughts over the years. The value of people’s thoughts here are more valuable to me than the Twitter blender.
With that being said, I believe there are too many cut/pastes with no comment. I might be alone here, but I don’t open up external links, especially if the poster hasn’t put any work into compelling me to open it.
Thank you for your work as moderators…it is greatly appreciated.

 

Was wondering about you among others!

 

I give links, but always quote at least the pertinent content for that reason. There is no question that somewhere your access to various sites will eventually be analyzed by a three letter agency. Also, because many news sources engage in "ghost editing" which can change the pertinent content.

 

I was under the impression that we were supposed to avoid copying others content here and to just provide a link to avoid copyright laws.

Noted and I'll do better at this.

 

I don't know how to post links ,, especially from a stupid phone,, which is 99% of my viewing ability. And I have noticed a little shift in this forums posting direction . As I do like to be able to hear from people in the areas where some of these issues of today are happening ,, because we're not going to be getting that info on the 6 PM news these days.
But I understand everyone's ideas and reasoning on this issue ,,, I'm just happy to be allowed to visit here , and pick up on some ideas i didn't know,, or enhance on the ones i did know.
Your choice ,, whatever you decide,,, I'll most likely still be here.

 

I didn’t intend to point at anybody, CC. Your perspective has always been solid. I think having the links is great, and as you said, it avoids any issues with copyrights.
I like to know *why* it’s relevant to us, that’s all I’m trying to say.
