EDITORIAL: Buhari, governors’ row over mindless stealing of LG funds
EDITORIAL: Buhari, governors’ row over mindless stealing of LG funds
The unabashed stealing of funds belonging to local government areas by state governors was put on the front burner of national discourse by President Muhammadu Buhari recently, when he said that the criminal indulgence was responsible for the stunted growth of rural areas across the country. The heist is orchestrated through the unlawful manipulation of the monthly financial allocations to the…

very very quietly. don’t you think the happiness bar is just reinforcing fed control over the residents. i see what the people say from a meta perspective that it’s frustrating that they’ve survived so long without tasks and now they need them again and . may i imply. they never Needed any tasks in the first place. tasks have from day one been a way for the federation to exert its power. do as we say or your eggs ‘die’ and not even like immediately we’ll give you ten minutes (don’t forget how kind we are) because we have the utmost power and control here. katniss remember who the real enemy is

Maxo: I haven't received an answer. Is there no one else on the island? Is it only us and The Federation?
How are we going to find answers about this mysterious island? This island, with a challenging but beautiful landscape, has pushed us to find out what hides in its depths.
With each sunrise our hopes to find life signs beyond our little community vanish... leaving a void in our souls. This is the story of people obligated to stay on an island looking for answers and a path or the truth... in the midst of an enigma that seems endless.
As days pass by, our courage and determination are being tested by the challenges of the island revealing secrets that threaten our view of reality.
The members of the Federation, an enigmatic and almighty organization, seem to be the only ones who possess any information about this place.
But their intentions and loyalty-
[Subscriber TTS plays]
Silence!
But their intentions and loyalty are questionable. Will they guide us to the truth? Or will they guide us further into the abyss of the unknown?

you can tell i love q!roier’s lore and because of that i made a simple timeline of what is happening.
yesterday we got the first tape explaining what happen to q!roier during the messages he left on the global chat and after (i invite you to watch the tape on his youtube channel or twitch account).
a short resume; q!roier made a computer with a —apparently— special antenna to search a lost signal of q!cellbit, cucurucho discover that and drugged him to drag his body all the way to the federation office, where, surprisingly, he meets with his twin brother, doied, who made a pact with cucurucho to create a machine with the special function to change the mind, the human brain data, into something else, in this case, he chose a rat for q!roier.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
cucurucho explained how this was the first time doing this type of experiment and he will be in the rat’s body for a while, in the end, q!roier fainted in that body.
if you don’t know, doied was another personally of q!roier, in the first moments it seems like he’s pretty nerd and clumsy but he’s still the smarted one, until now, where he shows himself as his twin brother, we meet a really cruel and crazy scientific (if is a hallucination or not, i would not handle this hypothesis now). another “personalities” are melissa and roger.
Tumblr media
side notes: i will keep complementing this image since we just have the first tape and i think he would keep sharing more tapes or hints of q!roier’s state, i added some details for lore purposes aaaand that’s it i guess.
for the record, we don’t know the exact time skip during this process; even in the dungeon, i’m assuming it has been days because he’s cold, probably hungry and his emotional state has to be too low to experiment with him easily. roier is such a enigma when it comes to lore so include two timelines assuming again —because i don’t make things canon, he does— in the case this experiment is the days before we watch the tape and he’s still in that body.
Tumblr media
some theories i have been reading is the hallucination one because everything seems so q!roier coded and is canon q!roier told q!bagi how he has voices in his mind, cucurucho usually doesn’t has that much of dialogues and, in my case, i add how that clock didn’t change the time, like, they talked a lot. but once again, and i love how roier manages his own lore, anything, and i’m serious on this one, anything can happen.

I have a very strong imagine of WRH calmly walking through a huge office fire that he set because the menial work was making his mind into a puddle and arson is more entertaining than boredom
I really do want to see what would happen if one were to put WRh on cocaine or maybe have him smoke weed
Dunno why, but it really does feel like modern WRH's worst enemy is boredom. It's just so dangerous to let this man get bored bc his minimal self-control is thrown out of the window for good.
Trying to get a legit 9 to 5 could only end up in arson after the first couple weeks bc that's honestly preferable to the soul-crushing office work the rest of the mortals are slaves to.
He would try drugs just to see what happens lol.
Now, weed shouldn't be that much of a problem, it might actually be beneficial bc you just need to give him something shiny and he'll probably be entertained for a while.
Cocaine tho.
That would be the most extreme and lethal case of the zoomies known to mankind. He would try to rob a bank with a homemade bomb and probably suceed, crash the entire stock market, overthrow a couple conglomerates and commit every felony and then some, all in a day and a half.

On Thursday, the Social Security Administration announced its largest cost of living adjustment for beneficiaries in four decades, an inflation-driven raise of 8.7% that will take effect in January 2023. That increase matches the average annual COLA from 1975 through 1982, an era of recessions and high inflation. Annual Social Security raises declined after that year. From 1996 through 2021, they averaged 2.3%, and were zero in some years. The 2021 raise was substantially higher: 5.9%.
The new increase in benefits will be pricey. On the other hand, the cost to taxpayers of the entire Social Security program pales in comparison with the cost of federal subsidies for rich Americans enrolled in private or supplemental retirement plans, such as individual retirement accounts (IRAs). According to Federal Reserve data from 2019, only 31% of households from the poorest half of the wealth spectrum contributed to such a plan, while 91% of households in the top wealth decile did.
This suggests that low-wealth retirees rely heavily or exclusively on Social Security, but all US workers get to collect benefits starting at age 62. As of last month, nearly 66 million Americans, rich and poor alike, were getting monthly checks. Most are retirees, but there are also spouses, disabled workers, survivors of deceased workers, and dependent children. The largest and best-compensated group, the retired workers, averaged $1,674 a month, or about $20,000 per year.
The SSA now pays out about $1.2 trillion a year in benefits all told, but those outlays are largely funded by payroll taxes paid by workers who will later reap the benefits. In 2021, the price tag of the entire program—benefits plus administrative costs—totaled $1.14 trillion, of which $1.09 trillion was covered by payroll taxes, income taxes on benefits, and interest. In other words, the federal Social Security subsidy was only about $50 billion.
Compare that with subsidies for private plans and IRAs, which cost the government nearly eight times as much—about $380 billion a year, according to the Joint Committee on Taxation. And unlike Social Security subsidies, these subsidies skew heavily toward the highest earners.
There’s a reason I noted the year 1996 above. Before then, as I point out in this earlier exposé about America’s retirement system, private retirement accounts were strictly regulated and not heavily subsidized. Starting that year, federal lawmakers—led by then Reps. Rob Portman (R-Ohio) and Ben Cardin (D-Md.), began introducing bipartisan retirement “reform” packages that pumped more and more federal dollars into bolstering private retirement savings, mainly to the benefit of high-income workers and Wall Street.
University of Virginia law professor Michael Doran, who dug deep into the subject for a January 2022 paper titled, “The Great American Retirement Fraud,” suggested that lawmakers, rather than helping rich Americans shuffle even more of their money into tax-­deferred or tax-exempt retirement funds, could instead pass laws to benefit Americans who actually need help in retirement. That might include simply beefing up Social Security, he wrote.
Instead, yet another bill that benefits wealthy savers sailed through Congress. And Republican Rick Scott released a set of aspirations for his own party—an 11-point “Plan for America,” of which one provision would let all federal laws “sunset” every five years—including laws governing Social Security and Medicare.
