  2. I live in Taylors, South Carolina. Today I went to Ingles, a large almost fully automated grocery store. When I was checking out of the store the store would not accept cash. I had to wait almost twenty minutes to get a manager to over ride whatever controls are in place to keep their automated system working. Has anyone else had this issue?
    This happened at Ingles Market, 1135 Stallings Rd, Greenville SC 29609

    Cash every day until it’s no longer possible to transact.

    1. I lived in North Carolina over the summer and shopped at the Ingles in Jefferson. During the six weeks I was shopping there, they changed all the automatic checkout machines to accept cards only, and most people, including me, stopped using them, which increased the load on the cashiers. A lot of people in that area were using cash. I hope the manager who had to override the system for you was as inconvenienced as you were – it might help them understand that they should accept cash!

  3. US had to buy Israeli missile defense system because US system does not work, if the plan is to protect the Arab states from Iran they need to hook them up with the Israeli system.

  4. Killing the children!

    Caskets

    I spoke to the family who owns one of the largest casket manufacturers in North America. They supply caskets to huge chains across the US and manufacture Prime Caskets, among others. It’s horrific to have to report on such a thing, but the owners said that their sales of typical caskets have increased by 20%, and since Dec 2021 their sales of small-size caskets (under 5 feet, i.e, for children) have increased by 400%. He’s not the only one talking about it, those in the funeral industry are well aware of the sudden change in the nature of their business.

      1. Yes, it is huge. But, they risk being complicit when they do not speak out. The firm is most likely corporate and thus owned by Blackrock or Vanguard.

        Sure could use some anti-trust and anti- monopoly laws here.

      2. Yes, I have the same 4 on my shelf as well. I think also best place to start.

  5. Scuttlebutt from foreign wannabe soldier volunteers that opioids are being trafficked through Ukraine to western Europe.

    1. Forgot to add the opioids are coming in as prescription meds, donated by foreign governments,aid groups and churches. Prior to this they were coming into Ukraine as street drugs from the east.

  6. At last, the sea begins to turn… I am put into the mind of Al Stewart’s great “Roads to Moscow,” which chronicles the Nazi beat down of the Soviets and then in this verse, it has gone beyond its own sustainability:

    And the evening sings in a voice of amber, the dawn is surely coming
    The morning road leads to Stalingrad, and the sky is softly humming…

    The Georgia Guidestones and Boris Johnson’s government fell in the same week as the Nederlandische farmers arose and SCOTUS stepped up. I think Johnson foresees heads of state rolling, and this morning broke news of Shinzu Abe’s assassination, which may seem inscrutable to us, but is very uncharacteristic of the Japanese, a people who embrace orderliness, but who, like anyone, can have quite enough, thank you very much. Small wonder that the likes of Trudeau, Macron and Biden live in armed camps–the people have no love for them or their policies.

    It is surely only the beginning, but the trends are becoming clear. On behalf of we who have held out, I say “you’re welcome” to the many starting to see the light. The addition of your weighty mass, even belatedly, wins the war. Freedom is the prize.

    1. I doubt Abe’s death resulted from an action of “the people.” Expect it to be made to look like it.

      1. That’s actually along the lines I was thinking in this case–but that people are getting roused enough to act out politically. I don’t know what the Japanese media does to agitate anti-conservative sentiment, but the fact that someone would go against societal norms for political effect is telling me that the masses are in a lather.

  7. On pushback some “gossip” from my banker on CASH…He told me that they used to process about 4-5 mortgage loans a week, now it is about 1-2 a month. Most people are coming in buying properties with CASH…clean deals written at the bank directly….Also at his branch location a woman has been coming in daily sometimes twice a day for about 2 weeks buying anywhere from 300k to 500k to 1M in bitcoins!? I also sent John Titus “Toilet” piece to this small banker – his department is in “sales” to large corporations….I have had no comment back from him yet! Ha
