  1. 32.10 min minor correction – Monaco is topping the list for life expectancy unless CIA has issues with their data, Japan is the strong 4th.

    1. Really. Last one I look at had Japan at #1. Am not surprised that Monaco tops the list. Nice life there.

  2. All that abut China was hard to take, as our son taught English in ShangHai before he became an international business man. He lives in Hong Kong now, and is not able to fulfill his job responsibilities by going to factories on the mainland to supervise production. Hong Kong and Taiwan as price of global cooperation….. So hard to envision the future there. I’m reading Dying for an IPhone to learn about the factories. I reflected that what we make of ourselves is what we have to offer the hierarchies. What I have made of myself is a faithful wife. At that, my husband called me downstairs to share his root beer float and listen to The Grass Roots, Sha La la Live for Today. Perfection! I hope those Venches our son works for do tune in to the Solari Report. They are losing a lot of money on their start-ups. He’s a good C.O.O. but he can’t save these projects.

    1. It is so hard to watch good entreprenuers make solid business bets that are then destroyed by political ruptures and war. Sending prayers. Make sure to help him develop his exit plan and plan B. So important to bounce back.

  3. I’m trying to access connect with the “connect” software. I get to connect.software.com; your website fills in my email address and password; and when I try to proceed, I get a message that says it has no record of my email address. If I fiddle around a bit with my ID, I get a message saying my password is wrong.

    I went to customer support but got nothing in the way of a means to send the above.

    1. Will send to customer service. Thanks for posting Allen. We have a new person starting next week to help support Connect.

  5. Still believe it’s not planned? Then read below.

    “Jacques Attali was an advisor to François Mitterrand (former President of France) and wrote this in 1981:

    “In the future it will be a question of finding a way to reduce the population. We will start with the old man, because once he is over 60-65 years old, man lives longer than he produces and it costs society dearly.

    Then the weak and then the useless who do not contribute anything to society because there will be more and more, and especially finally the stupid.

    Euthanasia directed at these groups; euthanasia must be an essential instrument of our future societies, in all cases.

    Of course, we will not be able to execute people or organize camps. We will get rid of them by making them believe that it is for their own good.

    Too large a population, and for the most part unnecessary, is something economically too expensive. Socially, it is also much better for the human machine to stop abruptly rather than gradually deteriorate.

    We won’t be able to pass intelligence tests on millions and millions of people, you can imagine!

    We will find something or cause it; a pandemic that targets certain people, a real economic crisis or not, a virus that will affect the old or the elderly, it does not matter, the weak and the fearful will succumb.

    The stupid will believe it and ask to be treated. We will have taken care of having planned the treatment, a treatment that will be the solution.

    The selection of idiots will therefore be done by itself: they will go to the slaughterhouse alone. “ This fragment is excerpted from his book “Brief History of the Future”, published in France in 2006.”

  7. BLoomber just released an article about Fed president Eric Rosengreen. I can’t provide the link here but to summarize the headline:

    Fed Accountability Under Fire After Stock-Trading Revelations
    Senator Warren calls for ban on Fed officials holding stocks
    The unusual public-private nature of Fed banks renews scrutiny
