Cathrine, The sketchy guy John Pelletier is also the coroner for Maui county. He needs to be majorly investigated.
Trying to confirm. Looks like the feds are controlling the coroner office work. If you can send me confirming links, please post!
When you spoke about the Bank of Ireland and people were taking money above what was in their account, it reminded me of the Credit Union in New York during 911 when the cable wires running under the trade center during the collapse caused a glitch where people were taking money out that they knew they did not have in their accounts. The conclusion is that they had to pay it back whether by loan or…
Catherine/John: I read Christine Legarde’s speech at Jackson Hole. This was the main point: “we may be entering an age of shifts in economic relationships and breaks in established regularities.” She references shifts and breaks frequently. Can you interpret the pretzel talk, please?
John … i do have a difficult time to understand you … could you please speak more clearly, enunciate better please – thank you
Speaking of pushback…at ground level, wide spread pushback may be forming as a result of mask mandates and lockdowns just ahead. A scary other edge on that sword. They unquestionably have at their disposal other pathogens far more dangerous than the Cov-19. Would they dare to teach the peasants a lesson?
Here’s another strange anomaly on the fire: https://forbiddenknowledgetv.net/another-smoking-gun-maui-fire-breaks-science-as-we-know-it/
I think it bears amplification that the “tsunami” of regulations or policies as you mentioned is in their game plan has a very serious effect on the drive to acquire real estate, by hook, crook and other means. I can already see some of it going on in the real estate that I control.
First is taxes, which go only one way, and that is up. They go up by legislation and they go up by reevaluating property. Every time the tax goes up, the cost to use the property rises without any ensuing value to the owner. Of course, there are taxes due to inflation in the operating expenses, but actually property owners get nothing for their property taxes. Locally, a new insanity has gripped my town of residence, where dispersed grade schools, which were improved at great expense in the past 20 years, will be razed and/or repurposed in favor of a single complex that will require considerable busing rather than typical short walks for most students. I often say of my co-inhabitants, that they never met a school levy they wouldn’t vote for. I actually got something in the mail exhorting me to contribute $100, $200, or $500 to help fund the campaign to get the levy passed. You can’t make this stuff up. Eventually, the new projects will overrun their budgets, the costs of administering all the transportation will rise, and soon taxes will need additional funding. This would be under normal conditions, but who knows what will happen should supply chains and general costs rise. Incidentally, in the state of Ohio, direct subsidies to better run school districts, such as ours has been reduced in John Kasich’s drive to balance the school budget. The poorly run school districts get disproportionately more money now. You didn’t have to see the 2016 race to know he was a phony.
That’s only one aspect, but it’s one that everyone will be affected by directly. Another thing that happens is that federalization of regulations, such as under the US EPA or the Americans with Disabilities Act causes fantastic compliance costs for municipalities, with an additional demand on the tax base. Somebody’s going to go bankrupt from this, either the cities or the tax base. I can definitely see where people will have to give up their homes because they cannot afford the taxes.
You often say, “make friends with your sheriff,” but he’s the one that sells your property when you can’t pay the taxes. He may actually not be your friend at that point. It’s all hard cold numbers, and all the talk of civic pride in the town is forgotten about when you’ve defaulted and gone away.
