⭐️Navigating Roofing Decisions: Finding the Right Contractor for Your Home⭐️

When it comes to maintaining and enhancing the integrity of your home, the roof plays a critical role. Not only does it protect you and your family from the elements, but it also adds to the aesthetic appeal and value of your property.

 Therefore, selecting a reputable roofing contractor is crucial to ensure that your roof is installed or repaired correctly. In this article, we will discuss the importance of hiring a professional roofing contractor and provide valuable tips on how to choose the right one for your needs.

🌟Why Hire a Professional Roofing Contractor?

Roofing projects are complex and can be dangerous if not handled properly. Professional roofing contractors are trained and experienced in working on different types of roofs, using the right materials, and following safety protocols. Here are some compelling reasons to hire a professional:

✨Expertise and Experience: Professional roofing contractors bring years of experience and expertise to the job. They understand the nuances of different roofing materials and can recommend the best solutions based on your needs.

✨Quality Workmanship: A reputable contractor will ensure that the job is done right the first time, using high-quality materials and adhering to industry standards.

✨Safety: Roofing can be hazardous, especially for those without the proper training and equipment. Professional roofers are equipped to handle safety concerns and minimize risks during the project.

✨Warranty and Insurance: Most professional contractors offer warranties on their workmanship and use materials that come with manufacturer warranties. They are also insured, so you're protected in case of accidents or damage during the project.

🌸Tips for Choosing the Right Roofing Contractor

Now that we understand the importance of hiring a professional, here are some tips to help you select the right roofing contractor for your home:

🌼Look for Local Reputation: Start by looking for local roofing contractors with a solid reputation in your community. Local contractors are familiar with local building codes and regulations, and you can easily verify their reputation through references and referrals.

🌼Check Credentials: Ensure that the contractor is licensed and insured. A valid license demonstrates that they have met certain standards and qualifications. Insurance protects you from liability in case of accidents.

🌼Ask for References: Request references from the contractor and follow up with these past clients. Ask about their experience with the contractor, the quality of work, and whether the project was completed on time and within budget.

🌼Get Detailed Estimates: Obtain detailed written estimates from at least three different contractors. Compare the scope of work, materials used, project timeline, and cost breakdown. Be wary of unusually low bids, as they may indicate subpar workmanship or the use of inferior materials.

🌼Verify Manufacturer Certifications: Some roofing materials require special installation certifications. Ensure that the contractor is certified to install the specific type of roofing material you choose.

🌼Communication and Professionalism: Pay attention to how the contractor communicates with you. A professional contractor will be responsive, transparent, and willing to answer your questions.

🌼Understand the Contract: Before signing any contract, make sure you understand all the terms and conditions, including payment schedules, project timelines, and warranty details.

🌼Avoid Storm Chasers: Be cautious of contractors who show up uninvited after a storm. While some legitimate contractors may offer storm damage repair services, others may be unreliable or looking to scam homeowners.

Conclusion

Investing in a new roof or repairs is a significant decision for any homeowner. By hiring a reputable roofing contractor, you can ensure that your investment is well-protected. 

Take the time to research and choose a contractor who is qualified, experienced, and trustworthy. 

Remember, the right contractor will not only deliver quality work but also provide peace of mind knowing that your roof is in good hands. So, whether you need a roof replacement, repairs, or maintenance, follow these tips to find the best roofing contractor for your home.

LETTERS FROM AN AMERICAN

March 31, 2023

Heather Cox Richardson

The second Summit for Democracy organized by the White House concluded yesterday with an invitation to a third summit, to be held in Costa Rica later this year. The second summit was not just a United States party: its virtual sessions were co-hosted by Costa Rica, the Netherlands, South Korea, and Zambia. Over the course of three days, participants from more than 100 countries discussed ways to surge resources to reformers during democratic openings, address inequality, promote economic growth, combat corruption, advance the status of women, promote media freedom, encourage youth political participation, combat hate speech, strengthen unions, and defend the rule of law.

On Tuesday, President Joe Biden congratulated the attendees for helping to make democracy work, turning the tide against autocracies. In the U.S. he said, “we’ve demonstrated that our democracy can still do big things and deliver important progress for working Americans.” As ordinary Americans have seen lower costs for prescription drugs and health insurance premiums, progress on rebuilding infrastructure, innovation, and policies to address climate change, they have, Biden said, “resoundingly and roundly rejected the voices of extremism attacking and undermining our democracy.”

Biden highlighted the ways other countries are advancing democracy: Angola is trying to build an independent judiciary, the Dominican Republic and Croatia have combated corruption. Biden called out “many other countries…from countries taking the first steps toward reform to well-established democracies of people making real changes to protect and strengthen their democracy.” The work of democracy “has never been easy,” he said. It “is hard work. The work of democracy is never finished. It’s never laid down and that’s it, all you have to do. It must be protected constantly.”

He continued: “We have to continually renew our commitment, continually strengthen our institutions, root out corruption where we find it, seek to build consensus, and reject political violence, give hate and extremism no safe harbor.”

The U.S. has invested in global democracy by committing more than $1 billion to shore up government transparency and accountability, support media freedom, fight international corruption, defend elections, and promote technology that advances democracy. It intends, Biden says, to commit $9.5 billion over three years.

Protecting democracy, the president said, “is a defining challenge of our age.”

Today, Leslie B. Dubeck, the general counsel for the Manhattan district attorney’s office, wrote to Representatives Jim Jordan (R-OH), chair of the House Committee on the Judiciary; Bryan Steil (R-WI), chair of the House Committee on House Administration; and James Comer (R-KY), chair of the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, to warn them that their attacks on Manhattan district attorney Alvin Bragg and his office were “unlawful political interference.”

Jordan, Steil, and Comer have tried to intervene in the district attorney’s investigation of former president Trump. Even before a grand jury of ordinary citizens voted to file charges against Trump, the three men demanded the district attorney share with them confidential information about the state of the investigation. The district attorney did not give it to them because, as Dubeck said, “our Office is legally constrained in how it publicly discusses pending criminal proceedings,… as you well know. That secrecy is critical to protecting the privacy of the target of any criminal investigation as well as the integrity of the independent grand jury’s proceedings,” she wrote.

She called their interference “unnecessary and unjustified” and reminded the men that Congress has no jurisdiction over individual criminal investigations. Nor does it have jurisdiction over state investigations. “The Committees’ attempted interference with an ongoing state criminal investigation—and now prosecution—is an unprecedented and illegitimate incursion on New York’s sovereign interests,” she wrote.

Dubeck noted that the men were reportedly working closely with Trump to attack the district attorney’s office and the grand jury process, making it seem that “you are acting more like criminal defense counsel trying to gather evidence for a client than a legislative body seeking to achieve a legitimate legislative objective.”

Dubeck noted that Trump has been threatening Bragg personally and warning that his indictment might unleash “death & destruction.” She pointed out that the three men, as committee chairs, “could use the stature of your office to denounce these attacks and urge respect for the fairness of our justice system and for the work of the impartial grand jury.” Instead, they and their colleagues were collaborating with Trump to attack the justice system as politically motivated. “We urge you to refrain from these inflammatory accusations, withdraw your demand for information, and let the criminal justice process proceed without unlawful political interference,” she wrote.

Dubeck concluded by noting that subpoenaing the district attorney for information about an ongoing state criminal prosecution, as they threatened to do, was “unprecedented and unconstitutional” and expressed hope they would “make a good-faith effort to reach a negotiated resolution.”

Also today, Delaware Superior Court Judge Eric Davis ruled in favor of Dominion Voting Systems in a key point of the company’s lawsuit against the Fox News Corporation for defamation. The ruling also established the central point for dismissing the story that Trump had won the 2020 election. Davis wrote—in italics—“The evidence developed in this civil proceeding demonstrates that [it] is CRYSTAL clear that none of the Statements relating to Dominion about the 2020 election are true.”

The Fox News Corporation had argued that the false statements of its hosts claiming that the voting system had thrown the 2020 presidential election to Biden were not defamatory because they were opinions. In his decision the judge went through the statements, calling out 20 occasions on which lies were stated as facts and similar occasions on which deliberately omitted material changed the meaning of what was presented.

The judge has determined that the hosts’ statements were false. Now the case will go to a jury trial in April to determine whether Fox hosts knew they were lying and whether Dominion sustained damages from the defamation. The company is suing for $1.6 billion.

In the last stop of her Africa visit, Vice President Kamala Harris today was in Zambia, which co-hosted this week’s Summit for Democracy. Neither Harris nor Biden will comment in any way about the impending indictment of the former president. At a press conference in Zambia’s capital, Lusaka, today, a reporter from the Wall Street Journal reminded Harris that she had “spoken about democracy and the rule of law at every stop in Africa,” and asked her to comment on news of the indictment.

When she declined, Zambian president Hakainde Hichilema stepped forward. “[L]et’s remove names from your question,” he said.

“Let’s put what we decided we will do to govern ourselves in an orderly manner. First, our constitutions, bedrock law. Then, secondary laws, other regulations create a platform or framework around which we agreed, either as Americans or as Zambians, to govern ourselves.  And so, to live within those confines.

“And when there’s transgression against law, it does not matter who is involved. I think that is what the rule of law means.”

HEATHER COX RICHARDSON

[icemankazansky]

Hey! first off thank you for the post on the casket wings. I'm working my way through your Storm series (late to the party I know).

I was wondering since you've shipped Icemav pre-TGM, how the new movie changed or confirmed your Icemav head canons.

I never really shipped them before TGM except as a passing thought of "they should have kissed" after TG86 but now I'm on the bullet train lol.

You're welcome.

Also, you're the second person this week to say "sorry I'm late" re: Storm, and I have two thoughts about that:

Stories are forever. There's no right time to read them for the first, second, or hundredth time. That's the beauty of them.

I was late to my own damn party. I think a lot of people new to the fandom since TGM do not realize this, but I took an eight year break between writing Storm 1 and 2 and writing Storm 3 and 4.

Oooookay, this is going to be a long one, buckle up.

When I first heard they were making a sequel to Top Gun, I was not excited. I kind of dreaded it, actually. I'm going to give you a little backstory, because it explains a lot of things.

I started my Val Kilmer fixation and my relationship with his work, including Top Gun, right about the same time I started grad school. I was further away from home than I had ever been before—no safety net. And I lost my health insurance because I stopped working to go to school. I have suffered from a little mental illness cocktail since about seventh grade, primarily depression-heavy bipolar II, and when I moved to Savannah, I had to go off all my meds. I did not have any sort of mental health care. So here I am unmedicated, untreated, completely on my own, and going through this rigorous program.

I needed something to hold onto. I needed a distraction; I needed a way to self-soothe.

I got Val Kilmer.

It became a hyperfixation, I guess. I watched dozens of his movies; I started creating fan content for those movies, first Thunderheart, primarily, a few smaller things for other films, and then Top Gun and Icemav specifically not long after. I deep dove this shit. I ended up writing my MFA thesis on Val Kilmer movies, okay? That's how important this became to me. I am not being hyperbolic when I say: He saved my life.

And even after I graduated and got back into treatment, these movies and these characters and these ships were incredibly important to me. I had a personal, emotional connection to them, and I was really afraid, when I heard they were making TGM, that the movie would damage Ice or Maverick or—and this was my specific fear more than anything—Icemav for me. And I needed them. Storm is basically my preferred canon post-Top Gun OG, and it supposes a lot of things that I was sure an action film by a major studio would never give me. I knew they were not going to end up happily married, okay? Like, I knew I wasn't going to get that. That didn't mean I didn't want it, but I knew that wasn't going to happen. I was just afraid that the movie would do more than that, and, like, definitively say in some way or another that their relationship was not important, or that it was absolutely not romantic, that they didn't love each other the way I knew they did, etc.

I saw Top Gun: Maverick on Top Gun Tuesday, a special showing on the Tuesday before the movie opened everywhere. As I've said, I was already very emotionally invested in what happened in this film, and you know, I have a mood disorder, and I'm also an empath and I cry pretty easily when I'm experiencing media, especially if it's a visual media like television or film. I know this about myself. I can't help it. I packed tissues in my purse on Top Gun Tuesday because I fully expected to cry a lot.

And I didn't. I loved the movie, and I thought what they had done with Icemav was the best that we were ever going to get from an action movie made by a major studio. It was evident that the relationship was integral to both characters, that it pretty much started in 1986 and never stopped, was a continuous presence throughout both their lives for 36 years. It showed deep affection between Ice and Maverick and incredible respect without losing the playfulness that their competitiveness would have mellowed into over that time. And it was open-ended, mostly. It's suggested that Ice got married, but it's never stated (Sarah could be his sister), and the nature of the relationship is never defined. I'm currently running on a Sarah is aroace and Ice is gay and in love with Maverick and Ice and Sarah have a platonic marriage and maybe even children, but it has not in any way stopped Ice and Maverick from having a romantic and sexual relationship for 30+ years model, and it's not exactly what I hoped for, but it's enough room for me to retcon it, to fit the pieces together so I can keep Icemav, because it's important to me and I need it.

I did eventually break down and cry about it about three days later. I was heartbroken over Ice, and it was really hard for me to watch Ice die of the same thing that had made Val so sick, and it was really hard for me that Ice dies—depending upon when you decide the movie takes place—before he's 60 years old, or just north of 60, and it was really hard for me to not get a happily ever after for Icemav.

I have been working on a fic that kind of explains how 1986 - 2022 worked for Icemav within the frame given to us by TGM, but I've been working on it since May 24th (incidentally the same day I saw the movie for the first time), so I don't know when it'll be complete. It's just shy of 25,000 words at the moment, and it's helping me work through some of the feelings that Icemav in TGM gave me, but for me, it's just going to be one version of what could have happened. I don't ... I don't see Storm as any less valid because of TGM, and I'm not going to stop loving that version of things and I'm not going to stop writing for it, and I'm not going to stop thinking of other endings for them, and other middles, because I love them and they deserve happily ever afters, and so do I.

I hope that answers your question. I know this was a lot, but it's been 12 years for me, and a lot has gone into my relationship with Icemav, so there's a lot to say.

How Roof Cleaning Services Can Save You Money in the Long Run?

Roof cleaning services may seem like an additional expense, but they can save you money in the long run by preventing potential damages, extending the life of your roof, and maintaining the overall integrity of your home. 

Here's how investing in roof cleaning services can be a cost-effective decision:

Preventing Structural Damage: Regular roof cleaning prevents the accumulation of debris, leaves, and other materials that can trap moisture. Moisture retention can lead to the growth of mold, mildew, and algae, which can compromise the structural integrity of your roof over time. By preventing these issues, you avoid costly repairs or even the need for a premature roof replacement.

Extending Roof Lifespan: The longevity of your roof is directly tied to its maintenance. Algae, moss, and lichen growth can eat away at roofing materials and lead to deterioration. Professional roof cleaning removes these harmful elements, preserving the quality of your roof and extending its lifespan. A well-maintained roof can save you the significant expense of a premature roof replacement.

Preventing Leaks and Water Damage: Clogged gutters and drainage systems can lead to water accumulation on the roof. This standing water can find its way into your home, causing leaks, water damage, and potential mold issues. Roof cleaning services ensure that gutters and downspouts are clear, preventing water from pooling and damaging your home's interior.

Reducing Energy Costs: A clean roof reflects more sunlight, reducing heat absorption. This is particularly important in warmer climates. When algae and other contaminants accumulate on your roof, they absorb more heat, leading to increased indoor temperatures. A cooler roof helps regulate indoor temperatures, reducing the strain on your HVAC system and ultimately lowering your energy bills.

Preserving Roof Warranty: Many roofing materials come with warranties that are contingent on proper maintenance. Neglecting your roof can void these warranties, leaving you responsible for any repair or replacement costs. Regular roof cleaning helps you fulfill warranty requirements, protecting your investment and potentially saving you from out-of-pocket expenses.

Enhancing Curb Appeal: A clean and well-maintained roof contributes to the overall curb appeal of your home. If you decide to sell your property, a well-maintained roof can significantly increase its resale value. Potential buyers are more likely to be attracted to a home with a clean and aesthetically pleasing exterior, potentially leading to a quicker and more lucrative sale.

Avoiding Algae and Moss Remediation: Once algae and moss take hold of your roof, they can be challenging to eliminate. Professional roof cleaning services can prevent the need for costly remediation efforts, such as pressure washing or chemical treatments. Regular cleaning stops these issues from escalating, saving you money on more extensive interventions.

Preventing Pest Infestations: Debris on the roof can create hiding places for pests like rodents and insects. Over time, these pests can cause damage to your roof and infiltrate your home. Professional roof cleaning removes potential habitats for pests, reducing the risk of infestations and the associated costs of pest control.

Reducing Insurance Premiums: Some insurance providers offer discounts for well-maintained homes. By investing in roof cleaning services and maintaining your home's overall condition, you may qualify for lower insurance premiums. Over time, these savings can add up, offsetting the cost of regular roof maintenance.

In conclusion, roof cleaning services are a proactive investment that can save you money in the long run by preventing structural damage, extending the lifespan of your roof, avoiding water damage, reducing energy costs, preserving warranties, enhancing curb appeal, preventing costly remediation efforts, avoiding pest infestations, and even qualifying for insurance discounts. By prioritizing regular roof maintenance, you not only protect your home but also make a sound financial decision that pays off over time.

I thought it was normal practice that the venue gets a cut of the artist's merch income. It's not? https://twitter.com/seaninsound/status/1556701700978868224?s=21&t=_xuHLVcdredBOOVcWXcm9w

Hi sweetheart. That’s not what he’s saying. It is normal these days and many people think it’s wrong that they do it.

His article is long, but it’s very interesting (emphasis below is mine).

Above and beyond the setlists and soundchecks, touring is tough and requires a lot of focus on the pennies and the pounds. Whether we're talking about an eleven album deep doom-metal trio trying to make a living, or newbies who are simply trying to avoid making a loss, touring requires the construction of a web of planning, such as savvily pre-booking Premier Inns on their advance rate or deciding between four or seven hours sleep (knowing the difference is often several hundred pounds saved on cheaper flights).

Whether bands play to 500 people or 50,000, being able to predict the right number of medium-sized T-shirts to print so they don't sell out (or get saddled with hundreds of pounds of left over stock) is boring but more important than ever.

Like any small business, understanding a profit and loss spreadsheet is crucial to live music. If you can’t get cancellation insurance due to COVID and fuel prices are continuing to rocket, every single hoodie and hand to hand record sale counts more than ever. So, aside from knowing how to impress a crowd, being able to set reasonable prices for merchandise to generate maximum sales and a decent profit, is more integral to a successful tour than it has ever been.

[…]

At many grassroots venues there’s an independent owner, who is often also the promoter. When you move up to larger venues, it’s far more likely the venue is being hired by an outside promoter (sometimes from an affiliated subsidiary company, who also seem to take some of the mysterious ‘booking fee’) and every penny from the bouncers to laundering the towels, is on a spreadsheet of show costs. It’s at this level where venues tend to charge a commission to sell merch, which is perhaps understandable when there are ten different merch points dotted around The O2 arena.

It’s not just the platforms raking in vast sums: Lucian Grainge, the head of Universal Music Group (UMG) recently received a "stonking" £123 million bonus. Meanwhile, a recent Guardian investigation discovered that UMG receives a share of Academy Music Group’s (AMG) profits from the sales of merchandise. These sales at O2 Academy venues are outsourced to company trading as Concessions Management International Ltd., which is part of Universal’s Bravado merchandise division. The report found that AMG and UMG take a cut, even if the act whose merch is sold is not signed to UMG.

[…]

She explains the maths of the merch desk: “For example, on a £25 LP sale, our label take £13.20 (fair enough, they are trying to recoup their investment, we have a very artist friendly deal with a great label). The venue take £7.50, they have no responsibility for paying for stock, they are only open to profit, no risk. The band then earn £4.30. Almost half of what the venue takes but the band have all the costs to get to the show plus the years of work that goes into that LP.”

“As for tees. If we sell a tee for £15. We pay £6 to print it. The venue takes £4.50. And we take £4.50. Again the venue profit as much as we do but without any of the liability involved in the design, print or delivery costs.” It all adds up doesn’t it? Of course, if you’re a massive act the economies of scale outlined in this BBC piece mean tees get cheaper and artists can consider fair trade & eco-friendly options like vegan inks, re-milled materials, or take the risk of commissioning multiple designs without passing too much extra cost onto fans.

Read the full article here

Featured Artist Coalition (or FAC for short), whose members span from acts playing their first gigs to stadium stars, have long pursued the issue of venues taking a cut of merch, but in recent months this campaign has ratcheted up, causing many venues agreeing to give 100% of the merch money to artists. Over 350 venues have already signed up to the FAC’s directory

listen, i know that integrating military operations into americas civil infrastructure -- such as with power grids, interstate systems, and industrial contracting -- already serves as:

a perfect cultural and fiscal conduit to divert public support and implicate public productivity in global imperialist expansion of capital

a keystone to the integrity of society as a ubiquitous undercover presence of institutionalized vigilance

a subsequent impediment of potential foes' ability to discern and target discrete military infrastructure without risking mass civilian suffering.

i get it. but i think we should get just one thing. be the sprout that cracks the parking lot.

well accomplish it through conventional political means of course, lobby for something innocuous enough that it wont alert them to the potential disruption of their delusion of defending common sentiment about security and safety, but just practical enough to mark them and isolate their operations from civilian life. heres how we can sell it.

you know, it's such a shame that our angels in blue are protected by the same sheet metal and shatter proof glass fortifications as potential criminals.

a pity that our last defense against anarchy have to work with headlights on par with average civilian SUV lumens.

neglectful, reprehensibly so, that we haven't developed Police Department branded and exlusive fentanyl proof seat textiles and air filters.

the uniform is more than just a civilian with a paint job, yknow? so, in light of trendy rampant disrespect, one could go so far as to say that it would honor our police battalion to incorporate their automotive investments into a top-down, market stable, state owned enterprise, whose products are marked by unparalleled aesthetic and operational excellence.

why does maureen need headlights that bright? those should be reserved for our law enforcement officers to ensure top of the line supervision. dont you think that physically imposing double-wide rims, spokes, and wheel compartments would invoke elegance and authority on our tax-bought chariots of law, and can only be securely produced by a trustworthy sister manufacturer? special mirrors too for insurance reasons. in a different perspective, have we considered that hoods exceeding the height of your average 4th grader could be weaponized against our civil servants?

i know, itll be tough selling the deliberate consolidation and seizure of the wartime democratic power of stock and lobbyist diversity, but i think we need to stand up for whats right. by my calculations, a little pseudo-accelerationist fullerton-fiddling factionalism, in tandem with some clutch political infiltration and cultural warfare in the form of an orchestrated game of patriotic chicken, can goad bootlickers into accidentally isolating and highlighting their supply lines and fleet movements by 2026.

UPDATE 1:

BREAKING: Silicon Valley Bank Run has Reportedly Started – Website Down

UPDATE 2:

Four biggest US Banks Lost $52 BILLION in Valuation Today as Dow drops 540 points

by Brian Shilhavy Editor, Health Impact News

The collapse of the banking industry has started, with FDIC-insured Big Tech Silvergate Bank announcing yesterday they were liquidating their assets and closing down.

Silicon Valley Bank also announced yesterday that they have lost $10 billion, while trying to reassure depositors to just “stay calm,” suggesting that their collapse is also probably imminent.

I don’t think there has been a more significant news event in the financial sector since the financial crisis of 2008, and yet at the time of my publishing this article, none of the corporate media is treating this as a headline story, unless it is a publication that focuses only on financial news.

This is the beginning of the storm that should have happened last year after FTX blew up, and probably did, but the infection that I have been calling The Big Tech Crash that started in 2022 has only just now begun to reveal how serious this crisis is, which can no longer be hidden from the public as the bank failures have now begun.

Bank runs that began last year, are only going to significantly increase in the days and weeks ahead. And this infection is not confined to Big Tech and their banks, but is spreading fast to other sectors of the economy.

Silvergate Bank: Crypto Fraud Casualty

Image source.

It certainly is not surprising that Silvergate Bank was the first to go, as they were the bank most heavily invested in cryptocurrencies. They are the first U.S. FDIC insured bank to collapse since the COVID crisis in 2020.

The same day that Silvergate announced it was liquidating its assets and closing, Silicon Valley Bank made a surprise announcement that it would sell billions of dollars in stock to shore up its balance sheet and liquidate nearly all the securities it had available to sell so it could reinvest the proceeds.

The bank has suffered big losses on U.S. treasuries and mortgage-backed securities at the same time as its tech-heavy customers were burning through their deposits, according to The Information.

Things only got worse today (March 9, 2023), when Silicon Valley Bank CEO Greg Becker told top venture capitalists in Silicon Valley to “stay calm” amid concerns around a capital crunch that wiped nearly $10 billion off the bank’s market valuation.

I don’t know who wrote Becker’s script for this announcement, but having a bank CEO tell depositors and investors to “stay calm” is probably the WORST thing he could have said. It will probably have about the same effect as telling a crowded theater where a fire has just started to “just stay calm” and don’t leave the theater.

Too late Mr. Becker. The cat is out of the bag: Silicon Valley Bank IS in trouble.

And so is the rest of the financial system, as this Big Tech infection is not confined to just technology, as the U.S. society has spent decades now integrating technology into just about every other sector of our lives.

One of those sectors is the housing industry, as Better.com, a technology-based provider of mortgages, is also on life support, having laid off about 90% of their employees.

As The Information reported yesterday:

Another sector heavily invested in technology is “healthcare.”

In a report published at Fierce Biotech yesterday, Johnson & Johnson announced that they were beginning layoffs in their “medtech division.”

Layoffs in their “robotics” businesses? But I thought robots were progressing to the point that they will soon replace humans?

As I have been saying for over a year now, the technology is not evolving, it is crashing.

And that is no longer a prediction. It is happening right now, before our eyes, and yet most of the public is still asleep and clueless.

But that won’t last much longer, as the day is probably fast approaching when they will go to their ATM or bank and will be unable to access their funds.

Make no mistake about this: this is a planned take down of the financial system that has been in the works since at least the 4th quarter of 2019. COVID was the first phase, the Ukraine war was another phase launched in 2022, and now we are apparently entering into the next phase.
