News the US news avoids

quote [ CEOs keep DYING and Mainstream Media won't talk about it ]

You gotta share actual news nowadays, what with the news dropping the reporting business for the propaganda business.

Blackstone Executive Wesley LePatner Killed in Manhattan Shooting

quote [ Wesley LePatner, an executive who oversaw Blackstone’s real estate fund, was among four killed Monday in a shooting at the investment firm’s Manhattan headquarters ]

Just presenting the news. No commentary.

The news (some news at least) is claiming the intended target was the NFL and not Blackstone.

Junk Head

quote [ Like Mad God, but Japanese. ]

In the far future mankind is essentially immortal. This technology allowed them to engineer life to perform all their menial labor in vast underground facilities. Eventually these beings rebelled and were forgotten about by mankind on the surface. Now a dwindling mankind must descend to study their lost creations to learn how to save themselves.

Fentanyl Myth Wrongly Puts People In Jail

quote [ A widespread fentanyl myth is scaring cops and leading to arrests. ]

If you're handed an iron clad excuse to get out of perhaps one of the few things cops might get held accountable for, doing drugs, why waste it?

Did China get caught trying to prop up its economy with a duplicate set of currency?

quote [ China?s central bank denied a rumor that a detained senior official forged $314 billion worth of banknotes. ]

The rumor is the deputy general manager of the company in charge of printing Chinese bank notes printed duplicates of 2 trillion yuan worth of bills. So not really forgeries, but duplicates with duplicate serial numbers. The scale would be ridiculous for a crime, but not if it was being done secretly by China in a sort of Ponzi scheme of money, with one set issued for use outside of China and one for use inside of China.

quote [ You can?t buy them unless you live in Dubai. Apparently inspired by the ruler of Dubai, Sheikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, who wanted more efficient and longer-lasting bulbs. ]

Yes, longer lasting, far more efficient LED lightbulbs exist, but you're not allowed to have them, at least not yet.

From the origins of Ronald McDonald, the McDonald?s Merchandise craze, the McDonalds Disney partnership and Happy Meal Toys and how it ultimately came to an end. ]

The Great Lightbulb Conspiracy

quote [ The Phoebus cartel engineered a shorter-lived lightbulb and gave birth to planned obsolescence ]

Competition isn't profitable. Collusion is the capitalist way.
