Unfortunately the Laws of Physics are not democratic. Physics affects economics too. Cars wear out and therefore Depreciate. The economics profession not talking about that Depreciation does not keep it from happening. I have not heard any economists pointing out the Repo Crisis either. .

What I call “The Twin Towers Affair” is an ongoing problem. Obviously “The Twin Towers Event” is what happened On 9/11. Could a 200 ton airliner including 34 tons of jet fuel totally destroy a 500,000 ton, 1,430 foot (including 70 ft of basements) building in less than 2 hours by ultimately making it collapse straight down in less than 30 seconds? What do we need to know to even speculate competently? Let's start by accepting that the towers had to hold themselves up, therefore the designers had to figure out how to distribute the steel. Level 105 had to support the weight of 5 more stories. Level 5 had to support the weight of 21 times as many stories. Do you think level 105 contained as much steel as level 5? So is it unreasonable to expect to be told the distribution of steel down the Twin Towers in Twenty Three Years? But then the NCSTAR1 Report by the NIST with 10,000 pages and a price tag of $16,000,000 does not even specify the total weight of concrete or its volume. Sources before 9/11 specify 425,000 cubic yards but that does not tell the weight because there were two densities, 110 and 150 lb/cubic foot. So how is the likelihood of a 30 second collapse to be judged without knowing the tons of steel and tons of concrete that were in each level of the structures? Where did the Conservation of Momentum go on 9/11? Did it take a vacation? So a significant part of the Twin Towers Affair is finding out why the vast majority of academics, structural engineers, civil engineers and physicists have not been demanding data on the simple stuff about such total destruction in Twenty Three Years? Of course anyone is free to point out where this data is readily available and demonstrate my foolishness to the world. If the name Gregory Urich comes up please excuse my laughter however. .

Marcus Garvey: Join Me on for a Discussion on His Legacy

I have read the two books by Harrison in Project Gutenberg. I knew that he did not like Garvey though he worked with him. There are only two or three sentences saying that he was shallow and egoistic. -
Marcus Garvey: Join Me on for a Discussion on His Legacy
umbrarchist replied to Troy's topic in Culture, Race & Economy
I always thought Garvey looked ridiculous in that uniform. I asked ChatGPT what Hubert Henry Harrison said about Garvey: Hubert Henry Harrison, a prominent African-American intellectual and activist, was critical of Marcus Garvey. While both men were leaders within the Harlem Renaissance and advocates for Black liberation, they had significant ideological differences. Harrison saw Garvey's approach to leadership as problematic, particularly criticizing Garvey's authoritarian style, lack of transparency, and what he considered Garvey's unrealistic goal of establishing a Black empire in Africa. Harrison also objected to Garvey's collaboration with white supremacist groups like the Ku Klux Klan, arguing that working with such organizations was counterproductive to the cause of racial equality. He believed that Garvey's promotion of African nationalism and the "Back to Africa" movement diverted attention from the immediate struggle for rights and improvements in the U.S. Though both shared a vision of Black empowerment, their approaches diverged, with Harrison promoting a more secular, class-conscious vision of Black liberation focused on addressing the needs of the working-class Black population in America, while Garvey emphasized race pride and pan-Africanism. 59 vus . -

The son of an old friend is staying in my apartment now. He just got out of jail last April. A lot of his stuff was stored here while he was in jail. I would not try to list every problem. The Repo Crisis is funny, I hate cars, and I have been telling people about planned obsolescence for decades. I asked a PhD economist to explain how an automobile engine worked. He couldn't even start. But he drove a white SUV. I tried getting him to explain consumer Depreciation not being in the Net Domestic Product equation. He quit talking to me. 200 vus .

2008 and 2009? The Repo Crisis is happening NOW and started a year ago.

This is the result of an ongoing argument I am having on another forum about economics. ============================== The 2007–2008 financial crisis, or the global financial crisis (GFC), was the most severe worldwide economic crisis since the Great Depression. Predatory lending in the form of subprime mortgages targeting low-income homebuyers, excessive risk-taking by global financial institutions, a continuous buildup of toxic assets within banks, and the bursting of the United States housing bubble culminated in a "perfect storm", which led to the Great Recession. ÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷ Paul Anthony Samuelson (May 15, 1915 – December 13, 2009) was an American economist who was the first American to win the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences. When awarding the prize in 1970, the Swedish Royal Academies stated that he "has done more than any other contemporary economist to raise the level of scientific analysis in economic theory". ÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷ Thanks, it never occurred to me to look up when Samuelson died before. I guess economists do not really consider Adam Smith to be great since he wrote"read, write and ACCOUNT" multiple times and used the word 'education' Eighty Times. Of course mandatory accounting in high schools since Sputnik could not possibly have had an effect on the 2008 Crash. We can never know, Only Speculate. Will the world be better as long as we let economists make sure that we are dumber than they are? Now it is car Repos and everybody complaining about rent. Yeah, listen to economists who have been saying nothing about the depreciation of automobiles for Seventy Years! . 148 views

Back around 2000 I was on a website called Black Voices. It was actually run by the Chicago Tribune. Also used a few other Black sites. I tried getting a discussion going about Black people standardizing on the Linux operating system. I think I got 3 responses. Now Linux is used on all of the supercomputers around the world. .

Nuclear weapons are mentioned but nothing definite was said. Then they talk about nuclear power and imply that Burkino Faso could make their own. What good is a nuke without a delivery system? Don't they have better use for the resources Funny idea but taking that much loss to cause deception does not seem plausible. I find it difficult to believe that our politicians understand what RISC-V is. Intel and ARM have proprietary machine codes. Anyone using their code has to pay them. RISC-V is like an open source machine code with multiple stages. So simple 16-bit processors up to 64-bit with compatible code can be produced and nobody has to pay anybody. But since it is open source it is outside of anyone's control. The Chinese can do whatever they want. Intel has a problem because their code is so old, from before this RISC business started.

That video starts mentioning nuclear weapons around 11:30. I got tired of hearing Burkino Faso over and over again. It comes across as vague bullshit. Putin is demonstrating the incompetence of the Russian military against the Ukrainians, is he just looking for Black pawns to use against the West? There is always so much talk about economics. What about Adam Smith? He wrote this book *Wealth of Nations.* It has been free on the Internet since 2001. People calling themselves Capitalists have been making a big deal of the "Invisible Hand" for decades but Smith used the term One Time. If you search for 'education' you will find it Eighty Times. I never heard Milton Friedman point that out. Smith also wrote, "read, write and account" Multiple Times. Double entry accounting is 700 years old. Invented in Italy I hear. Every Western country could have made accounting mandatory in high schools since Sputnik. Have you heard any economists suggesting that? "All warfare is based on deception." - Sun Tzu If economics is really Economic Warfare then expect the people claiming to be Capitalists to try to deceive you. Did John Maynard Keynes ever see a television commercial for automobiles? What did he ever say about planned obsolescence? Which of the White countries make accounting mandatory in the schools for the White kids? There are homeless White people in America? No, that is not possible! It is the richest country in the world. How much wealth and power around the world depends on KnowLedge of technology and economics. Is the way White Authority separates accounting and economics really about maintaining confusion? .
