For now quant ratios on calibrated steps. Incremental supply chain adjustments

The cost structure in the US is too high for it to be competitive in most industries. Instead of taking measures to reduce the cost structure, the US used debt to fill the gap...In my opinion, the US has zero ability to grow its way out of this mess. Aging demographics, debt, declining oil production, average to low educational standards, and efficient competitors will make it impossible. The US economy was powerful but it was never efficient. Americans can't seem to comprehend the concepts of cost savings and efficiency. They think they understand these concepts but they don't at all.
Australia can put equivalent quality beef on the shelf of American supermarkets for about a dollar a pound cheaper than US producers.

Separation phase is past and the articulated lady is past correct. She should be any Mayor.

Our beef is ordered locally. I feed my grand kids real food. Been delayed from bureaucratic mandates
and we know the practices brokers for whole food preference contracts over local producers.
Two weeks we take delivery delayed for a month. Nothing about these damn people makes sense at times.

Caught up on the press conference with the Office.
The tone was correct and we are moving ahead to recover and advance.
The democrats that allowed the riots reaped what was sown on allowing that level of destruction
and no we should not pay for inept leadership point blank.

The problem is that you may not care what form of economics communist countries have,
but communists care about ours. From who took your cheese to burning city's wrapped in whine
in active measures with grants from taxes backed with gun powder as professional dead heads with stiff arms unable to cope
and understand you will never be able to produce in a true consumer market since you cannot even attribute risk.

I didn't think that the CEOs said anything brilliant. I just said
that they played on the politicians' ignorance and stupidity, which is
quite a different thing, and trivially easy. Bezos told his
ridiculous weepy story about his dad Miguel. Pichai stumbled over
words and gave an impression of being overwhelmed. Both of them
avoided answering any real questions. In both cases, the response and
demeanor were well-practiced, and designed to disarm the posturing
politicians, who are too dumb to know what was going on anyway. And
it worked.

Let's take a couple of examples of questions that might have
embarrassed the CEOs, if they had been asked.

First, I assume you read something about the recent Twitter hack. A
malicious actor bribed or tricked or extorted a Twitter employee and
got control of a few dozen accounts. All the hacker did was send out
hundreds of tweets in order to collect a few hundred thousand dollars,
but as some media reports pointed out, the attack could be practicing
for a serious attack in November to affect the election.

Most people have no clue about the following: If you have an online
account with anyone -- a store, a bank, a social media service -- then
the company you're dealing with has an IT department of 5, 10, 20,
100, 500 employees who are responsible for updating the software or
providing customer support. All of those people have access to the
entire database, or they could not do their jobs, and so they all have
access to your data.

Companies can take various kinds of steps to mitigate the exposure.
Typically, your account password is encrypted, so no one in IT can get
it. Sometimes your social security number is encrypted, and that will
protect it from external hackers, but internal IT people will be able
to access the decryption functions, so those numbers are usually
unprotected internally. Sometimes your credit card numbers are stored
on another server, so that only select IT people can access them, but
they're still partially exposed. But basically, if you provide any
data to any online service or business, you should assume that 10-2000
IT people, depending on the size of the company, have free access to
your data, and to your entire account.

So the four CEOs must have been shaking in their boots, out of fear
that they might be grilled about this. Because if all of Twitter's
accounts can be stolen with the help of a crooked or rogue or idiot IT
employee (of which any company contains many, many), then Apple,
Amazon, etc., have exactly the same problem, and all of them can be
hacked in the same way, giving some malicious actor control of
multiple accounts, for at least a period of time.

Imagine the disaster that such a malicious actor could cause! And
Twitter has shown the way -- there's no defense against it. There are
plenty of questions that the four CEOs might have been asked about
this situation, but the politicians, who barely know how to turn on a
computer, just ignore the problem, and go on posturing about other
things.

The second embarrassing area would be those "magic AI" algorithms that
check for "hate speech." The obvious intent is that all hate speech
would be suppressed, and anything from Trump supporters would be
classified as "hate speech," and so therefore anything supporting
Trump should be suppressed.

The companies just say, "Oh, those decisions are made by algorithms --
AI algorithms -- which are non-partisan."

And the idiot politicians just accept that, as if there were some
magic involved. Actually, algorithms like that would be rules-driven,
and programmers would write the rules. As stupid as politicians are,
understanding a little bit about those rules is not beyond the
capabilities of those few who can still do fourth grade math.

The rules are confidential, of course, but we can speculate on how
some of them work. Let's suppose a tweet contains the text, "Make
America great." That alone wouldn't be enough to classify it as hate
speech, but it would add points in some sort of point system. If a
tweet contains another "racist" phrase like that, then there might be
enough points for the "non-partisan" algorithms to decide that the
tweet is hate speech.

So here are the questions for the four CEOs: We know from various blog
posts that everyone at Google, etc., is far-left pro-Democrat. So all
those hate speech rules are written by left-wingers, right? Do you
have any moderate or conservative people writing those algorithms? Of
course not. And isn't it true that even if there were a conservative
in the group, he would be sidelined by the others, and his work would
all be deleted during code reviews by all the left-wingers on the
team?

If you hired only whites to do programming, you would be accused of
biasing your algorithms to whites, and you would have to hire blacks.
If you hired only men to do programming, you would be accused of
biasing your algorithms to men, and you would have to hire women.
Isn't the same thing true that if you hire only left-wingers to do
programming, then you are biasing your algorthms to Democrats? And
isn't that against the law and your own supposed principles? Given
the importance of evaluation "hate speech," don't you think that you
have an obligation to hire a few conservatives, instead of just all
left-winger Democrats?

Moved back to 7 lots this morning. Goal is still 10 as close to the high as I can get. Some of it might be after the high is put in.

Anything I put on from here on out will not be covered unless they blow me out. So I will not be getting out of any of the 7 or any additional beyond 7 no matter how high it goes.

No activity today. At this point, my discipline is only allowing me the options of adding or holding. No trading in this extreme environment.
