Another great site to check out:

Love how dismissive some of the newspaper headlines were.

"Oh yeah, we had to cancel the event because of the 'flu'. I'm sure it's nothing"

This is fascinatingly depressing.

I’m currently reading ‘Dopesick’, which is about the Opioid crisis.

This excerpt is from a Virginia newspaper in 1884.

1884!!
Apparently there was an Opioid crisis following the Civil War as well.
Unreal.

CRAZY STORY of "The Wheat King", or 'Old Hutch'. History can really read like fiction at times.

Trust me, and read the entire thread. Fascinating stuff.

The story begins with rumors of Old Hutch's death making their way to the Exchange, and Wheat prices falling as a result.
2/ Many sold their wheat positions in a panic, but some noticed Old Hutch's brokers buying up these positions.

The King wrote from his hospital bed:

"Old Hutch is far from dead... all of the wheat sold this morning is now in the hands of Mr. Hutchinson, where it will remain."
3/ From his hospital bed, Old Hutch continued to run the wheat markets as if he were still in his office.

1. The @CDCgov has just released a report showing that life expectancy rose in 2018, for the first time since 2014, inching up to 78.7 years. This followed three straight years of decline marking the tail-end of @BarackObama's presidency. cdc.gov/nchs/data/data…
2.The 3 leading causes of death, heart disease, cancer & 'unintentional injuries' all showed decreases, although the latter, which includes drug overdoses, showed the most proportional decrease. This was the first decline in 20 years of drug-related deaths healio.com/primary-care/a…
3. In fact drug overdoses had increased from 17,400 in 2000 to an astonishing 70,200 by 2017, disproportionately affecting poor communities as well as Americans living in rural areas. 47,600 were from #opioids & 78% of these, classified as White kff.org/other/state-in…

How old will you be in 2030?

Your answer to that question, and how much of your life you will have left after 2030, will be perhaps the most important question you will have to ask yourself in your life.

No, I'm not exaggerating when I say that.

This is the insanity & silly talk promoted by central bankers globally.

Nobody asks the question.
