'Put the American public first': Senators propose new law to ban members of Congress and executive officials — including the president — from trading stocks
A new law has been proposed that would ban members of Congress and the federal executive branch — including the president — from trading stocks.
The bipartisan “Ban Stock Trading for Government Officials Act” was introduced by Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) and Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) in late July.
The new bill would bar Washington officials from owning or trading stocks, even in blind trusts.
It would also impose penalties of varying degrees against those found to break the rules.
They could also be subject to additional civil penalties in “extraordinary” cases or those that involve “substantial monetary value,” according to a joint press release from Gillibrand and Hawley.
Public support for a ban on stock trading among members of Congress is almost unanimous — with 86% in favor nationwide, according to a recent survey by the University of Maryland’s Program for Public Consultation.
Sen. Hawley said the bill would “put the American public first” — but this rhetoric doesn’t appear to have swayed his colleagues in Congress.
Two bills on this matter — the TRUST in Congress Act and the PELOSI Act — have failed to move the needle this year, and it’s unclear if or when the Ban Stock Trading for Government Officials Act will be debated and voted on.

=='King Of The Hill' actor Johnny Hardwick, who voiced Dale Gribble, dies at 64
Johnny Hardwick, the actor known for voicing the conspiracy-obsessed Dale Gribble on Fox's "King of the Hill," has died. He was 64.
Hector Nieto from the medical examiner's office in Austin, Texas, confirmed Hardwick's death to USA TODAY. Police made an urgent welfare check and found Hardwick dead in his Austin home Tuesday, according to the Austin police public information office. No foul play is suspected, and a cause of death is pending per the coroner’s investigation.
Hardwick voiced Dale, the friend to lead character Hank Hill, on the Emmy-winning animated series created by Mike Judge and Greg Daniels. The Austin native voiced the Texas-twanged character from the animated hit show's debut in 1997 through the "King of the Hill" final episode in 2010. He was a writer, story editor and producer on the show as well.
"Johnny Hardwick was an incredibly beloved member of the 'King of the Hill' family, whose tremendous talent, brilliant humor and friendship will be deeply missed by all who were fortunate enough to work with him over the past 25 years," 20th Television Animation and Hulu said in a statement to USA TODAY Thursday. "Our deepest condolences go out to his friends and family as we mourn the loss of one of the animation greats. His voice gave life to one of our most iconic characters, and he will be truly missed."
Earlier this year, Hulu announced that Hardwick would return for the series' streaming revival. The actor had recorded a few episodes.
"King of the Hill" is set in the fictional town of Arlen, Texas, and follows the life of Hank (voiced by Judge), wife Peggy (Kathy Najimy) and teenage son Bobby (Pamela Adlon).
Hardwick earned a degree in journalism from Texas Tech University, according to Campus Live’s profile of Hardwick. Following graduation, Hardwick immersed himself in the stand-up comedy circuit in Austin and Dallas with numerous comedy club performances.

>Red Hill Fuel depot, underground tunnels on Maui.
>Lahaina, HI
The Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility is a military fuel storage facility in Hawaii. Operated by the United States Navy, Red Hill supports U.S. military operations in the Pacific.[1]
As of March 7, 2022, the Department of Defense announced the planned closure of the Red Hill facility, due to reduced military need and water contamination issues.[2][3]
Unlike any other facility in the United States, the Red Hill Underground Fuel Storage Facility can store up to 250 million gallons of fuel. It consists of 20 steel-lined underground storage tanks encased in concrete, and built into cavities that were mined inside of Red Hill. Each tank has a storage capacity of approximately 12.5 million gallons.
The Red Hill tanks are connected to three gravity-fed pipelines that run 2.5 miles inside a tunnel to fueling piers at Pearl Harbor. Each of the 20 tanks at Red Hill measures 100 feet in diameter and is 250 feet in height.[4]
The Joint Task Force Red Hill was established on September 30, 2022, for the purpose of "safely and expeditiously" defueling the Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage facility.[5] Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said: "Defueling and closing Red Hill is the right thing to do – for our service members, our families, the people of Hawaii, the environment, and our nation."[5] The commander of the Joint Task Force is Vice. Adm. John F.G. Wade.[6]
Red Hill is located under a volcanic mountain ridge near Honolulu. It was declared a Historic Civil Engineering Landmark by the American Society of Civil Engineers in 1995.[

'The whole structure needs to tumble': Black Swan author Nassim Taleb cautions that a 2008-style crash could be coming — here are 2 risky areas he wants investors to avoid
The economy is due for a major correction, according to Nassim Nicholas Taleb.
“The whole structure needs to tumble,” the Lebanese-American essayist, mathematical statistician, former option trader and risk analyst, who is most famous for writing the macroeconomics book The Black Swan, said in a recent interview on CNBC. “Systems don’t correct themselves without some kind of pain.”
Taleb’s career has been devoted to advocating systems that he describes as “antifragile,” which means they can withstand the shock of statistically rare and disruptive events. But his warning about the current economic climate is less about rare, unpredictable events and more about what’s right in front of us.
White Swan
Black swan events describe economic events that come as a complete surprise and have a major impact on the landscape. The next crisis, however, may be developing right under our noses.
“A white swan! It’s a white swan event,” Taleb said during the interview.
He believes the economic risks we currently face are obvious. After years of ultra-low interest rates in the U.S., Americans have piled on unsustainable levels of debt.
Now that interest rates are climbing, this debt is due and some borrowers may not be able to afford repayments.
“The risk is right in front of us. If you see a fragile bridge, you know it’s going to collapse at some point,” Taleb said. “So you need to fix it. How do you fix it?”
The solution, he says, is to reduce debt and take measures that are beyond “cosmetic.” In Taleb’s view, two segments of the global capital market are extremely vulnerable: real estate and new technology.

New technology
Taleb doesn’t buy into the hype surrounding artificial intelligence. He believes the startup ecosystem is built on shaky ground.
“The methodology of the startup business has changed,” he said. “In the past, you used to be selling your future cash flow. Now, you’re selling future funding.”
After a sharp decline over the past year, startup valuations seem to be on a modest upswing, according to TechCrunch. Similarly, the NASDAQ is up around 32% year to date. Much of the excitement lately in the tech sector has been about new generative artificial intelligence and large language models.
However, Taleb believes the industry is in a risky and volatile state.
“It’s going to be very unstable,” he said while advising professional investors not to be “naked long” on stocks.
Taleb pioneered the strategy of long-tail hedging, which protects his fund’s investors from black swan events. The fund loses money in most years but makes a huge profit on short bets against the market when a crisis erupts. The strategy is akin to an insurance policy on stock market crashes.
Real estate
Taleb said that real estate prices are particularly sensitive to rising interest rates.
“More than $100 trillion in real estate valuation,” Taleb said. “But we’re not at 3% mortgages anymore. We’re at 7% and going north.”
Commercial landlords are already struggling, with even major corporations like Brookfield suffering mortgage defaults in recent months. Collectively, $1.5 trillion in mortgage debt is due within the next two years while rates are significantly higher than before. This creates a risky environment for real estate investors.
Taleb’s analogy about “a fragile bridge” perfectly captures the property market right now, which is why investors should proceed with caution in this sector.

Unless and until Q comes here, with NEW info on the Vatican or Isreal, there isn't Any New Info. It's all the same shit posts over and over.
Boobs, ie: naked women, all Mossad slider/breadshitting shills, content that won't get deleted cause it's less called out as the clear shillshit that it is.
The issue remains, they are not "Discussing" anything, they are spamming algorithms. Not anons.
Q even pointed it out, they are programs, one generates 10 or some shit.
Tired of the same old argument about "censorship". THESE posters are not normal anons, posting opinions of content for discussions. they have a sole goal. SLIDING and DIVISION.
