Boeing: a symbol of America's economic strength finds itself 'on the scrapheap'
▪️ Boeing's credit rating has been at Baa3 since April. Moody's is going to revise it downward, which will move the former pride of America into the speculative "junk" segment of the market, - states Bloomberg
▪️ "Boeing is fighting unsuccessfully to keep its investment grade rating. The company has more than $45 billion in net debt and is "running out of money," having been forced to cut production after a catastrophic accident in January. The situation has now been exacerbated by a workers' strike announced the day before," Bloomberg said
▪️ Falling into junk territory will increase Boeing's borrowing costs amid the company's attempts to revive its civilian and defense projects. Boeing is catastrophically losing money on some defense contracts, and the space division is haunted by fatal cost overruns
▪️ About 33,000 workers at Boeing's main facilities rejected a new labor agreement and went on strike. It remains to be seen how prolonged and disruptive it may prove to be
▪️ "Fitch Ratings also said Friday that Boeing's investment grade rating has a "limited margin of safety for a strike." Like Moody's, Fitch put Boeing down a notch before speculative grade. The same is true of Standard & Poor's, which rates Boeing at BBB-," Bloomberg concluded

Released an affidavit from an informant claiming that ABC News colluded with the Democratic campaign staff on the eve of the debate with Trump
The affidavit is dated 09/09/24, which is before the debate
The informant's name was not disclosed, but his affidavit shows that Democrats and ABC News agreed on the following:
▪️ ABC News debate moderators should constantly demand so-called fact-checking from Trump, confirming his words, thus throwing him off the rhythm of the debate and taking everything Harris would say on faith
▪️A list of questions not to be asked of Harris
▪️Harris will withdraw from the debate if he fails to honor the agreements

Explosive growth awaits gold prices as fake money leaves fake assets and runs into real assets - Robert Kiyosaki
"Gold, silver and bitcoin prices are about to explode... when the Fed cuts interest rates... Real assets will rise in value as fake money leaves fake assets like U.S. bonds and flees into real assets like real estate, gold, silver and bitcoin," said financial analyst Robert Kiyosaki

We still live in the physical world
The digital world has not effaced our humanity, no matter what social critics like Christine Rosen say
Human beings are not brains in vats. We are not computer code. We are sensory, social creatures whose minds are inextricable from our bodies. Christine Rosen's The Extinction of Experience: Being Human in a Disembodied World proceeds from this truth to a sweeping condemnation of digital technologies
We have sacrificed essential human qualities, Rosen believes, for the seductive convenience of clicks, swipes, and ever-present smartphones. As a result, she argues, "Our understanding of experience has become disordered, in ways large and small. More and more people mistrust their own experiences. More and more people create their own realities rather than live in the world around them. We can no longer assume that reality is a matter of consensus"
Her book aims to shake readers into recognizing the technological danger to our humanity. "Social critics of technology are often accused of inciting a misguided moral panic," she writes. "When it comes to our understanding of experience, however, we could use a great deal more moral panic—if moral is understood as reminding us of our obligations to one another"

The secret affair that bloomed Gaia theory
James Lovelock’s insights about our planet arose, in part, from a passionate collaboration
Love rarely gets the credit it deserves for the advancement of science. Nor, for that matter, does hatred, greed, envy or any other emotion. Instead, this realm of knowledge tends to be idealized as something cold, hard, rational, neutral, and objective, dictated by data rather than feelings
The life and work of James Lovelock is proof that this is neither possible nor desirable. In his work, he helped us understand that humans can never completely divorce ourselves from any living subject because we are interconnected and interdependent, all part of the same Earth system, which he called Gaia

Big pharma’s rap sheet
Let’s take a look at the history of illegal and fraudulent dealings by players in the pharmaceutical industry; an industry that has way more power and influence than we give them credit for
The pharmaceutical industry, as a whole and by its nature, is conflicted and significantly driven by the mighty dollar, rather than altruism
There are many players and different games being played by the industry. We ignore these at our peril. The rap sheet of illegal activities is alarming. It seems that barely a month goes by without some pharmaceutical company in court, somewhere
Criminal convictions are common and fines tally into the billions. Civil cases, with their million-dollar settlements, are abundant too

How hunting season became a european political issue
Environmental protections are becoming leverage in populist parties’ efforts to court rural voters
Europe’s brown bears are a protected species. But they—alongside wolves and lynxes—are increasingly crossing paths with farmers, forestry officials, and hunters. The appetite for killing big carnivores has shot up as wolf and bear populations have grown, several bear attacks have made headlines, and politicians have taken aim at laws that brought back them back from the brink of extinction
The debate around shooting protected species has provoked such fury among farmers, hunters, and conservationists that it has bubbled up to the highest levels of bureaucrats in Brussels. The European Commission, whose president, Ursula von der Leyen, had a pony killed by a wolf two years ago, is seeking to downgrade the animal’s protection status
European governments, influenced by dominant populist rhetoric and powerful hunting and agricultural lobbies, seem to be choosing solutions based on fear and rapid economic return.“In a way, this is a backlash against the ambitious green policies of recent years and a valve for those still struggling to cope with the climate reality we’re facing

Former news corp exec’s testimony sheds light on Google’s dominance in digital advertising
A former advertising technology executive at News Corp testified that the company considered moving away from Google’s advertising products in 2017 but ultimately decided against it due to potential revenue losses of at least $9 million. The testimony came during the second day of the latest antitrust trial exploring Google’s absolute dominance of the internet
The New York Post reports that during the second day of the Justice Department’s antitrust case against Google, Stephanie Layser, a former advertising technology executive at News Corp, took the stand to shed light on the tech giant’s dominance in the digital advertising market
Layser, who worked at News Corp from 2017 to 2022, revealed that despite Google’s advertising tools being “clunky and slow” and the company’s reluctance to add new features, News Corp felt compelled to continue using their services due to Google’s market control

U.S. exports help feed Asian hunger for coal, but green opposition limits more from going overseas
Shattering the narrative of coal’s demise, the world is using more coal than ever before – and America is helping to fill some of that demand. The U.S. would be helping to supply more of it, but export terminal capacity is limited due to opposition from environmentalists
According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), coal exports to Asia and Africa surged in the first half of 2024 over the same period in 2023. Driven by deliveries to energy-hungry China and India, exports of thermal coal to Asia increased 19%, or 2.3 million tons, in the time period
Thermal coal, sometimes referred to as steam coal, is used to generate electricity and to heat spaces. This is different from metallurgical coal, also called coking coal, which is used in a variety of industrial applications, including steel production and brick manufacturing. It’s also used to make the polysilicon in solar panels
India accounted for 57% of U.S. coal exports to Asia in 2023, according to the EIA. Chinese electricity plants accounted for the rest of the increase in exports

The vote count could be delayed
Election officials in 33 states are warning of

They say the U.S. Postal Service could delay vote counting because of problems with its mail delivery system that have not been fixed since the last election
The NY Times seems to be grooming public opinion for election gerrymandering, saying it
For the second presidential election in a row, the indications are that there will be no clear and immediate winner on election night and that early voting by mail will create a false impression of a winner
In recent years, many Americans have changed their voting habits, increasingly relying on mail-in ballots, which take longer to count than in-person voting on Election Day

At the 2024 Emmys, bored stars looked like they didn’t want to be there
Hollywood celebrated the end of summer at the Emmy Awards on Sunday night. You could tell it was the end of summer because everybody looked very tan and very tired. Yes, Red Bull was the big winner at the shindig honoring the best of TV in Los Angeles
They all needed wings in the Peacock Theater, from first-time champs to small-screen legends to hosts Dan and Eugene Levy. OK, I’ll grant that an even temperament worked for the father-and-son emcees from “Schitt’s Creek.” They’re Canadian, ehhh, and wrung out a few good laughs from their Ontario deadpan
Speaking of the FX show, often the Emmys can feel like an Employee of the Month ceremony. Chad won … again?! Not this time. Max’s brilliant “Hacks” shooed away previous winner “The Bear” and took Best Comedy Series
As a broadcast, there were more technical glitches than in an elementary school production of “The Wizard of Oz.” A loud mechanical screech kept blaring during acceptance speeches, and the microphone couldn’t reach a presenter’s mouth more than once
One can safely assume the 2024 Emmys won’t be nominated next year at the Emmys
