    Every time I see one of those "sell all your bitcoin" videos, the price goes up. I usually see 2-5 per day from the youtube algorithm. I can't wait to see what those Fs have to say when its $300k or when the hyper inflation hits.

    Very unique topic. Much better than “ Living In A Tree or “My Red Swim Trunks.” What about a diversion AKA a prop? For example cases of fake beer and or cigarettes. “Take it boys, all of it!” Meanwhile you’re loading up the good stuff in a van or truck and off you go. (I’m just winging this reply early AM but the principle is sound)

    Glad you said fake beer.
    NEVER speak or even think of giving up the beer.
    Blaspheme!

    And PBR but that shouldn’t count as beer.

    I've been looking at so-called 'spill-over' events
    (one example - Echoes of a Boom in Iran)

    These are actions/events that occur outside of the US (or, locally, outside of your AO) . that can/do trigger a response that, too often, folks will say "I did not see that coming". Hence, looking for 'a sign' is perhaps - fruitless.

    I'm not currently worried about classic rioting - at least for now - but with escalating crime (all kinds/all levels) here and too many other places - the impact can be sudden to you/us personally.

    Example - folks locally have taken to the notion that red lights are 'advice'. That is to say, red light /stop sign runners have become so common, that I wait for a 5 count/look both way before going on a green signal. I'm not alone in this.

    Two days ago, my son was waiting at a green light (he was a few cars back from the front) as more than one car pushed thru a left turn on a red signal. Yeah, a PITA, but...

    Except he got rear-ended, by the car behind him that got rear-ended (and totaled) by a driver yakking on her cell phone and who - when he talked with her - had only seen the green light ahead.

    Might this have happened anyway? Perhaps - cell phones are a killer after all, I got my azz run over by a cell phone chatterbox...

    Back on task - Was this 'accident' 'triggered' by the red light scofflaws? I would say it was a definite factor.

    And to the linked story above - if Iran and Israel really go at it, what is the fallout -this time - for the US? It's not 1973 anymore. I don't see the US bailing out the IDF. Not this time.
    We've been stuck in a miserable too-long war in the area. so we have at least some folks at direct risk.
    Add in a senile sock-puppet masquerading as a POTUS....seemingly hell-bent on killing domestic oil production and you have a recipe for a real life shit-storm. No matter you live.

    The election was a mini-trigger for me to double down on the things I felt lacking in. Knocking the procrastination items off the list is the biggie now.
