110 Km per hour is less than 70 mph. The tops of the Twin Towers were supposed to sway 36 inches in a 150 mph wind. Some design flaw! But that never got tested. Supposedly a couple of 200 ton airliners took them down in less than 2 hours. A 10,000 page $16,000,000 report cannot even discuss the steel distribution. Missing information bothers me. .

That video is 4 years old and it has been a while since I saw it, but my memory works reasonably well. I went looking for it because I thought it said a woman discovered the problem. So it is curious how so much information cannot be trusted. Which one is correct? But it is the Physics that matters to me not all of this social bullshit

I have seen another video about THAT building. My interest in a proper analysis of the destruction of the Twin Towers is not a quixotic thing

I have a thread where I wrote about economics and the economics profession ignoring the depreciation of durable consumer goods. That brings up planned obsolescence and ACCOUNTING for the depreciation of durable consumer goods. I once asked a PhD economist to explain how a gas engine worked. He couldn't even start but he drove a white SUV. In the 1980s I bought a 4-unit apartment building. If I had had an accounting course when I was in high school the financial management of that building would have been much easier. I probably could have found lots more tax deductions and been better organized. But I don't even know if my high school had an accounting course when I was there. To me it looks like Black Americans let White people tell us what EDUCATION is. And working at IBM certainly showed me that the White people are hiding information from each other. So there is more to the game than Racism.

It has been becoming socially discouraged to express it. How many ways does it get implemented without notice. I applied for a job as an electronic tech at a company that made laser and electron beam welding machines. They had some really cool tech. I aced their test. When they were escorting me out the old guy 🤣 giving me the "Don't call us, we'll call you." lecture said, "It doesn't matter how much you know about electronics, you have to know welding." There was not a single question about welding on that test. See if demonstrating that you are smarter than some White guys doesn't bring out Racism right quick. Intelligence and knowledge are two things. Lots of people with knowledge. What happens when the problem demands both? But that is "Acting White"! 😆

I didn't say FREE, I said GOOD. Lots of information that you have to pay for is bullshit. And important parts can be missing. I had to write my own benchmarks at IBM and I was an employee.

So how do you determine if there was a design flaw in a couple of buildings that stood for 28 years and withstood 100 mph winds on 6 occasions in that time though "experts" won't even discuss the distributions of steel and concrete down the structures and "normal people" won't even ask. We have had 23 years for them to discuss it. If you bring up the subject "Conspiracy Theorist, Conspiracy Theorist", run for your brains. 🤣 The Twin Towers were designed to sway 36 inches at the top in a 150 MPH wind. MILES not those wimpy Kilometers. A MILE is 8 city blocks. A Kilometer is only 5 city blocks. Trying to find data on the 6 100 mph incidents. Someone told me that in my years of discussing this but lots of the Internet has changed in 20 years.

Sharing good information should be faster.

Money and Wealth are different things. People who throw away money on crap designed to Depreciate will have trouble accumulating wealth. Then we have corporations hiding information and distributing bad information. I watched it at IBM. I tried paying some nieces and nephews to read some books I selected. They refused! The Screwing of the Average Man by David Hapgood .

I knew a White man who drove a Bentley. He parked it in the lot of a shopping mall where he owned a health club. I did work on his wi-fi and network and security cameras. People spend money to play status games with each other. The Laws of Physics do not care. The planet's natural resources are being turned to shit for status games. If money is so important why aren't Black Americans advocating that all Black kids understand accounting?

In what century? I consider the probability of the United States ceasing to exist as a country to by higher than the probability of racism ending. .

It is the kind of effect. What is the relationship between Psychology and Physics? The Laws of Physics are totally incapable of caring about Psychology. But how does cognitive dissonance affect people dealing with the fact of their not understanding Physics. A skyscraper MUST support its own weight throughout its height. So regardless of whether or not a 200 ton airliner could totally destroy a 500,000 ton building in less than 2 hours, what sense does it make for 23 years to go by without "experts" discussing the distributions of steel and concrete down the Twin Towers? Try finding any such data and discussions. I woke up on the morning of 9/12 with one side of my brain going "That's Impossible" and the other side going "What the hell are you talking about". We could see the construction of the Sears Tower from the living room window of the fraternity when I was at the Illinois Institute of Technology. My pledge father was a super senior architect. What I found funny was that all of the architects were more interested in discussing how much money the architectural firm was making than the building. The joke at IIT was "Architects study funny Physics and funny Math". The decisions for the thicknesses of columns and girders would be made by structural engineers not architects. And then the physics of the collapse time would bring in Physicists. But I do not recall any EXPERTS bringing up the Conservation of Momentum in relation to the problem. So the paradigm shift of most people accepting that airliners doing that is flat out impossible would mean what? .

Get lots of Cardinals to flock together.

The Hertz are really being put on the economy. The frequency of opportunities won't go to Zero however.

Any Afrofuturism with realistic science?

Officers above the rank of Major in the DC area should know more about Hegseth than I do. If any of them were to decide to act they would decide what to do about him also. Personally I was thinking about Trump teeing off against an A-10 Warthog on a golf course. 🤣 Send what is left to Putin. But I was also thinking of a March 1st deadline. I have never been in the military and I am not a White guy so I certainly cannot figure out the dumbness of their thinking.

Just because something is true does not mean that you can get enough information to know that it is true. Just because something is false does not mean that you can get enough information to know that it is false. It is like Donald Rumsfeld said: The unknown unknown is a muthafuka. 😆 I think of most information in terms of importance and probability not true and false. "There are lies, damn lies, and statistics." I have seen that most often attributed to Mark Twain but some sources say that is a lie.

"There are Constitutional principles and military regulations that deal with the possibility of a "domestic enemy," even if that enemy is the President. Oath of Office: Every military member swears to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic" not to the President personally. Military Regulations e.g., UCMJ: Military members are required to obey lawful orders and required to disobey unlawful ones. Blind loyalty to a person over the Constitution can itself be a violation."

The officers are sworn to defend the CONSTITUTION. If Donald Trump repeatedly violates the Constitution, are you saying that does not make him a "Domestic Enemy"? I have been talking on BlueSky to former military who served in Desert Storm: "100 days in and Trump has already cracked the Constitution like a pawnshop safe. The problem isn’t just him,it’s the system that let him test every lock and never changed the keys. Authoritarians don’t break democracies overnight they expose how fragile they already were." https://www.democracydocket.com/analysis/president-donald-trump-100-days-assault-democracy/

So the US military needs to figure out what a "Domestic Enemy" is and what strategy to use to deal with IT. The Repugnacans created this situation and the DIMocrats let it happen. Are the White guys in the fancy uniforms up to the challenge now? Milley was telling everyone that Trump was a Fascist 4 years ago. I was thinking something should have happened by March 1st. Is it already TOO LATE to avoid irreparable damage? The whole planet is in uncharted economic waters now. Probably can't even fully undo it.

If you want, and are ready for, over the top weird.

I think some Mad Hacker is after you dude.

Here is documentation of Marx's discussion of depreciation. Each pic combines the title page with the last word in the search. I didn't do anything that I am aware of, but I deleted the post and redid it because the pages were out of order. They are JPEGs, does that matter. 1.78 KB is pretty small. Shouldn't that be MB.
