Random Thoughts or Whatever

The history of minerals in the US is full of conflicts. Just ask indigenous peoples and coal miners.

Well, yeah, doesn't change anything about it, the very thought will be weaponized. Probably better than minors had it five hundred years ago. Maybe machines will save us from this inequity. Maybe no one is looking out for us at all except being on the wrong side of the ledger, a cost. It's like there is an octopus touching all things, it's got a head. Machines, robots, ultimately will be designed to kill, primary function. Conflicts need resolution. Nuts, all of it. A terrible place to be mired, administered by sociopaths.

I was sure I saw her with family (husband and son) in a restaurant after 30+ years. I don't know if she had recognized me. Maybe we both did not want to intrude. I was/am glad to see her with family from afar.

Then there are a dozen other people I wonder about periodically.

But all is not as bad as it seems because average wages of US workers is about the highest in our history, and Americans are managing their rising debt load with alacrity.

Further indication that the rising debt is being managed well.

Carry on, American debtors ! Nothing to see here !

Travelling through the Sydney tunnel system with graphics along the edges, behind a Kia Sedona with those strip LED lights. In a really comfortable solid car that was powerful by old standards, well lit, felt solid and incredibly safe. The phone in my pocket was linked to the car's audio system.

I came to the realization that I'd arrived in the future I'd dreamed about as a teenager.
