Until we can guarantee the process won't be hijacked by those that would love nothing better than to dismantle our Constitution, the answer should be a big fat no way. This is exactly what the DS has been trying to do for years. Our Constitution is the only thing separating us from complete tyranny.
I can't remember the You Tube channels - but there were several of them. I checked them out prior to the election just to see what they had to say. They went into quite a bit of detail explaining their interpretations. As you stated, they did have natal charts for both candidates and on the US as well. That part interested me so I watched. I don't remember their names since astrology is not a topic that I normally follow. I am more interested in astronomy and geophysics.
Several of them had built businesses reading personal charts for people that I am sure took several years to build besides building up their channels. They would have been better off not getting involved with political predictions. I got the feeling that sticking their necks out doing election prognostication was not something they normally would do - but no doubt because of pressure from their followers they took the bait and couldn't help but chime in. That ended up being a big mistake.
One gal made a meltdown video after the election trying to do some damage control. No doubt she was slammed by her followers and it sounded like some even canceled having their charts done. Overnight their businesses and reputations took a hit. They had been so confident in their interpretations. I also suspect that their interpretations were influenced with a bit of confirmation bias on their part and therefore they could not have a completely objective approach. Judging by the level of the meltdowns I saw over the results they had been leaning Dem to begin with. Harris losing on top of their reputations being shattered was just too much. Lessons learned the hard way.
Funny how most of the astrologers out there were predicting Harris to win based on the charts. They had melt downs when Trump won. Some of them read charts for a living and their business crashed overnight. Oh well. Boo hoo.
Well stated. ; )
To think we can simply rip out at the roots something that has taken decades, if not centuries, to entrench itself is not being realistic. Malone speaks the truth. We are going to get a good start at it while at the same time build something to exist in the vacuum that will be left behind. This is a huge ship that takes time to turn. We did not get here overnight, therefore it will not go away overnight.
Despite the Biden administration's efforts to plant landmines for Trump to step on, I very seriously doubt Putin is going to react stupidly knowing he only needs to hold out a a couple of months. Putin seems to be the only adult in the room. He will limit doing anything beyond the current operation in Ukraine until Trump is in office. Putin is pragmatic. He wants a deal and he knows Trump does likewise. Zelensky will be forced to negotiate or have the money and weapons flow shut off. That is why the current US regime is trying to push out as much as they can before Trump takes over. The EU cannot fill the gap economically or militarily to keep the Ukraine scam afloat on their own.
I stand corrected. ATACMS have been there, but Ukraine was not allowed to use them to attack the Russian interior - until now. The disputed territories of Donbass and Luhansk being annexed as part of the Russian Federation is not internationally recognized as they are technically still considered part of Ukraine. Therefore the use of ATACMS in these areas is considered an attack on the Russian occupation of Ukrainian territories.
Putin's red line however involved use of these systems to attack the interior of Russia proper and not their use in the Russian occupied territories. Putin made it very clear that they would consider their use to to attack the Russian interior as a direct attack by the US on Russia. As Putin spelled out, the reason is because operation of these systems requires direct American involvement.
Just because Russia declares these areas to be part of the Russian Federation does not make it so - they are disputed lands as they were part of Ukraine. Both sides of this conflict lay claim to those lands and each side has valid points for their claims. That is why they are at war. A peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine would hopefully settle the land dispute issue if agreed to by both sides in this conflict.
Putin already stated that the ATACMS was a red line. Because of the systems complexity, codes, and personnel operational requirements, any use of this system on Russia would have to be done by the US, and that would indicate direct involvement of the US in this conflict. There is no way that Ukraine would be operating this system. Besides, it also says that the US had already been placing the system prior to the announcement the other day. How long would it take to ship the ATACMS and set it up? Sounds like they made the decision to send them some time ago - the public only recently heard about it. Sounds like the administration is trying to plant a land mine for Trump.
There is no doubt that work can be done remotely if one thinks just about the work itself. The risk comes into play because remote access increases the points to which data breaches can occur. It is much easier from a security standpoint to have data more centralized. I fear that our technology that has opened the door for more flexibility in the work place may at the same time be our Achilles heel.
Where state actors are concerned, especially China, remote work is an Achilles heel. If places like China are able to hack sensitive on site facilities like the US government, it is even easier for them to hack off site data due to its inherent lack of security. Think of the ramifications to multiple sectors of our cyber infrastructure, including finance and business. There already has been severe breaches of critical information in the business sector. China has no problems with cyber espionage and outright theft of intellectual property. The effort to cut costs and acquiescence to changing attitudes about the work place may be our very undoing. The recent uptick in breaches from foreign actors may only be a drop in the bucket for what may be coming.
A person has to be very disciplined to remote work. But, I do agree that the idea of working from home does have its advantages. My field unfortunately does not allow that option - direct patient care. Although in medical support areas like insurance billing and coding, there is quite a bit of it now being done remotely. I have a cousin that does medical coding at home. It works great for her so primarily so she can supervise the care of my aunt and uncle who are in their 90s. Have a great day fren.
My understanding is that those weapons require Americans to operate. The Ukrainians lack the specialized training necessary. Putin claims that is crossing the line because that would be direct American involvement in the conflict.
Exactly. Putin says they are godless people and follow no belief - Judaism, Christianity, or Islam.
