The rumors on the ground here are that there's some sort of virus on the loose at Burning Man that causes boils/vomiting/hemorrhaging. Apparently that's why they're not letting people in. No idea if this is true. Been in RV all day.
Knew they were gonna make some intensely stupid business decisions when this was the first big change SAPPORO USA made after buying up the brewery
Almost certainly this change is related to Sapporo USA’s acquisition of Stone Brewing—they seem to be (clumsily) following the AB INBev model sandiegouniontribune.com/business/story…
“Future generations will look back on many of the tactics used in the troubled teen industry in the same way we look back on forced lobotomies and ask: How did we allow these practices to pass off as mental health treatment for so long?” nytimes.com/interactive/20…
The truly maddening thing about the restraints and isolation punishments is that these programs are essentially self-regulating. If children witness or are subject to abuse at these schools, there’s no one they can tell. Staff control all lines of communication.
My school, Monarch, owned by Patrick McKenna, didn’t have isolation in the same way others did. Instead, as a 14 year old boy, when I was punished I was not allowed to speak to, interact with, look at, sit near or stand around other kids there.

The last legitimate government of 🇸🇲 San Marino 🇸🇲 was in 1957 when the so-called Provisional Government overthrew the duly-elected Communist-Socialist electoral coalition that had ruled that mighty nation since the end of WW2…
One of the reasons: The Communists had allowed too many citizens of San Marino to become police officers in San Marino
The problem too, was that a pair of moderate socialist councilors had switched to the Opposition
LaRouche's man in Wiesbaden, Herbet Quinde, served as the go-between between LaRouche's euro intelligence agency and the Spanish secret services. Soon after they launched GAL, a death squad aimed at murdering ETA members inside and outside Spain. Quinde offered to provide
the death squads with a dossier on ETA members his group had compiled in exchange for information on Otto Skorzeny's business holdings (!). But Quinde's information was legitimate, and the death squads in Spanish state, managed by the Socialist Party, eventually met with Larouche
They had a series of Spanish handlers---most of them policemen who had been specialists in esoteric torture techniques and extrajudicial killings of left-wingers for decades. Larouchites eventually met with José Barrionuevo, the highest-ranking exposed member of the GAL.
