One has to include shortages of fertilizer, and the shortages of fuel that Asia faces now. As other experts point out, those shortages alone will result in demand collapses that will reach back to the US.

Some believe the US has already collapsed. We’re just experiencing the after shocks.

When the President is implicated in the largest honeypot and blackmail operation known as the Epstein files, mentioned and commented among the most out of everyone else, everything involves the Epstein files.

Agreed, as far as solar installers are concerned they can’t get enough product to smoothly complete their projects even before the delusional American tariffs.

Texas has power outages for days at a time. People get rocked by astronomical utility bills. Also, Texas has boil water advisories for big population centres in one of the richest states in the US.

There’s nothing to covet here. It’s an embarrassment.

Well, get ready to hear more about it. Forecasters say parts of Western and Central Canada are about to feel the effects of the phenomenon that brings frigid weather in the coming weeks. And it could move to Eastern Canada.

“The European [model], the latest one, is looking like a pretty impressive cold pattern setting up,” said Judah Cohen, a climatologist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

“The cold is going to slide down east of the Rockies … you'll hear about Calgary, definitely Winnipeg.”

Brace yourselves and be careful. A reminder from 2024:

The number of amputations due to frostbite in Edmonton reached 110 last winter, the highest level in more than a decade, according to new data obtained by CBC News.

But Calgary marked its second consecutive winter of declining frostbite amputations, counting roughly one-third of Edmonton's procedures last fiscal year.

I’d say you are confusing critical thinking with anxiety. Critical thinking is a deliberate exercise that I choose to engage in, and I might be able to do for a certain period of time. I’d suggest that critical thinking is an investment of time and energy to really understand an issue, how it’s framed, how to re-frame it. At the highest levels, critical thinking will eventually lead to where you stand on an issue, and what scenarios change your standing.

But anxiety is something I don’t mean to engage in, and might not be able to stop. I’d agree it’s a disruption of critical thinking. It’s either a response to stress, or perhaps a force is pushing you to anxiety to break down your OODA loop (Observe, Orient, Decide, Act) and render you less effective on the field you’re playing in.

Super effective!

It's not so much that ads can only sell you something anymore. They're able to sell your personal details and identity when abused.

I believe the issue has been written on even prior to the 2025 article from Wired.

Data brokers are basically form centralized American platforms which carry immense databases about its users. These demographics can essentially be used to target high value targets. These can include government employees, members of military, and other persons of interest.

These brokers use Mobile IDs to allow advertisers to micro-target people with their habits, browsing fingerprint, and purchase habits. Even if these companies say they don't associate identities with these Mobile IDs, the brokers can cross-reference enough information to basically de-anonymize a target.

Plus with influencers these days, many don't disclose if what they do is sponsored or part of a greater outreach campaign. You're basically stuck wondering if you're getting targeted or astroturfed.
