As Richard Poe says, 'George Washington referred to the original 13 states as an empire... New YORK is called the empire state'
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empire_St…
George Washington in a 1785 letter to James Duane, NYC Mayor, called New York "the Seat of the Empire". Washington is said to have used the phrase"Pathway to Empire"when referring to the state in conversation w/ George Clinton, the NY Governor in the 1790s
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Dua…
James Duane was born in 1733, in NYC, in the Province of New York, to Anthony Duane and his second wife, Althea Ketaltas. Anthony Duane was a Protestant Irishman from County Galway who first came to New York as an officer of the Royal Navy in 1698..
"After his first wife's death, Anthony married Althea Ketaltas (Hettletas), the daughter of a wealthy Dutch merchant. By the time of James' birth, his father had become a wealthy colonial settler.. When Anthony died in 1747, James became the ward of Robert Livingston,
the 3rd Lord of Livingston Manor, where he completed his early education.
The Dutch roots of the NY mayor are not surprising as, prior, during the 17thC, the Dutch East India Company developed the town New Amsterdam which is present-day New York City
The city of New York was recaptured by the Dutch in 1673 during the Third Anglo-Dutch War (1672–1674) and renamed New Orange.

It was returned to the English under the terms of the Treaty of Westminster a year later
Just notes for later 🤫

Pursuant to the emergency ordinance which is being issued by the Swiss Federal Council, the merger can be implemented without approval of the shareholders.
the press release from UBS's side informs us that "the combination of the two businesses is expected to generate annual run-rate of cost reductions of more than USD 8 billion by 2027." Translation: virtually all CS workers will be laid off.

I was on a graduate program at a Swiss medical school where epidemiology was part of the course when C19 happened and suddenly the lecturers were quoting Pfizer's safe&effective mantra , even though the data wasn't there..
We had been trained to examine the data.. All of that went out of the window. I was astonished at the hypnosis within the medical field..
I was on this course because of my tech background and I was interested in translational medicine which requires people with a computer science background. So my training was differrent to my peers who were mostly from the medical field...
