They don't have to - they are perma-bid merely based upon the hype and future-casting of their beloved corporate leaders. Sound familiar? They are emblematic of the Trump bubble. Trump took over a flagging late cycle economy and used his hyperbolic bullshit (and 5% of GDP in fiscal profligacy) to drive one-time manic over-investment, giving the delusion of indefinite GDP growth. What he created in reality is the exact 1929 scenario - a business-friendly president cutting taxes at the end of a decade-long expansion and deregulating industry, thereby driving an over-heated economy, over-speculation, monetary tightening and a waterfall crash... <br /><br />Ironically, the sectors that Trump has "helped" the most via deregulation are performing the worst <br /><br />"Average down day is 24% bigger than the average up day in 2018" [more]<br /><br />Radioactive fire in Chernobyl exclusion zone sweeps across the ‘Red Forest’, one of the most contaminated areas in the world today<br />http://strangesounds.org/2018/06/radioactive-forest-fire-in-chernobyl-exclusion-zone-red-forest.html<br /><br />Yesterday, June 5, 2018, a dry grass fire started in the Chernobyl exclusion zone, which rapidly spread to the ‘Red Forest’, a 10-square-kilometre (4 sq mi) area surrounding the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant and one of the most contaminated areas in the world today. 126 Firefighters are currently on site trying to estinguish the radioactive blaze. Officials haven’t sent evacuation orders yet and say the the radiation level is ‘normal’. <br /><br />Such fires can lead to the secondary spread of radioactive elements far beyond the exclusion zone and have to be controlled as fast as possible.

https://www.msn....Pruitt Aide Resigns Amid Scandals<br />https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/pruitt-aide-resigns-amid-scandals/ar-AAyj2tz<br /><br />A top aide to Scott Pruitt, Millan Hupp, resigned from the Environmental Protection Agency, according to a source briefed on the matter and documents reviewed by The Atlantic. Her last day will be Friday.<br /><br />Hupp, who worked as the director of scheduling and advance, has been entangled in many of the scandals dogging EPA Administrator Pruitt. In March, she was one of two aides who received hefty salary bumps, even after the White House refused Pruitt’s request for raises. And as The Washington Post reported on Monday, she recently testified to the House Oversight Committee that she regularly spent her days doing personal tasks for Pruitt, from hunting for housing to calling the Trump Hotel in Washington, D.C., to inquire about purchasing a used mattress.<br /><br />According to one top EPA official, the 26-year-old was “tired of being thrown under the bus by Pruitt,” and weary of seeing her name constantly appear in headlines about the agency. Officials began drafting her resignation paperwork on Monday morning, just after portions of her congressional testimony were made public.<br />[more]<br /><br />Jerry Maren, Last Surviving Adult Munchkin From 'Wizard of Oz,' Dies at 98<br />https://www.msn.com/en-us/movies/news/jerry-maren-last-surviving-adult-munchkin-from-wizard-of-oz-dies-at-98/ar-AAyiqVt<br /><br />At age 19, Maren (at 3-foot-4) appeared as one of the three Lollipop Guild Munchkins (the green one in the middle) in the classic 1939 movie. He had been spotted by an MGM scout while performing in a show at the Bond Hotel in Connecticut and was the youngest of the 124 adult actors to suit up as a Munchkin. (A few children were used as a well.)<br /><br />Maren sang, “We represent the Lollipop Guild/And we welcome you to Munchkinland,” and presented a oversized lollipop to Dorothy (Judy Garland).

Ev...Here's an interesting observation (to me). Ever since moving in here over 10 years ago, the mailbox by the street on the standard 4x4 post indicated that it was rotting out - the mailbox leaned a bit to one side and toward the street. Today, i'm finally getting around to replacing the post. The question, of course is WHY (knowing we don't have long, why bother)? My answer - for something to do. Same holds for the 4 porch posts by the front door - they show rot problems at the bottom. i'll probably look into that job in the fall, should we live that long. Cleaning up the yard and mowing the grass (stupidest job ever) goes on, despite our approaching extinction. Let's tidy up so that the marauding zombie hordes won't have to put up with squalor, and, should anyone survive in my area, they'll have a house with fresh porch posts and a stable mailbox!<br /><br /><br />[from our Terminator Watch section]<br /><br />MIT creates 'psychopath' AI named Norman <br />https://www.sott.net/article/387395-MIT-creates-psychopath-AI-named-Norman<br /><br />Between Boston Dynamics' headless, door-opening cyborg dogs, Omron Automation's empathy chips for robots, and MIT Media Lab's new 'psychopath' AI Norman (named for Norman Bates, the murderer from Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho), it looks like we've got everything we need to cobble together a darker, more violent version of I, Robot, or at least another episode of Black Mirror Season 5. <br /><br />Seriously, listen to this: A team of MIT employees took a normal image-captioning AI (designed to look at pictures and provide a written description of what it sees) and fed it a steady stream of images from an unnamed Reddit board where people exclusively post horrifying, morbid images of murder and death. <br /><br />Afterward, the team showed this AI (now dubbed Norman) a series of Rorschach inkblots, which are used by psychiatrists and psychoanalysts to judge a patient's mental state. <br /><br />The team then compared Norman's captions to a normal AI that had not been traumatized with images of death and found a disturbing pattern. <br /><br />For example, Norman captioned one inkblot "man is murdered by machine gun in broad daylight", while the other AI captioned the same image, "a black and white photo of a baseball glove."
