People and animals have been getting sick where 5G has been installed and turned on ( see 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 ) .
Requests for 5G moratoriums started in 2017 .
Another one was recently submitted to President Trump .
Lawsuits have been filed ( see 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 ) .
Some communities and countries have banned it .

Adding insult to injury , telecom companies have still provided NO scientific evidence that 5G is safe .
Opposition increases daily .
Thanks @ @ @ @ @ @ @ effort : Phoenix , AZ , Jan 09 , 2020 — As societies industrialize and the technological revolution continues , there has been an unprecedented increase in the number and diversity of electromagnetic field ( EMF ) sources .
These sources include video display units ( VDUs ) associated with computers , mobile phones and their base stations .
While these devices have made our life richer , safer and easier , they have been accompanied by concerns about possible health risks due to their EMF emissions .
For some time a number @ @ @ @ @ @ @ health problems that they relate to exposure to EMF .
While some individuals report mild symptoms and react by avoiding the fields as best they can , others are so severely affected that they cease work and change their entire lifestyle .
This reputed sensitivity to EMF has been generally termed Electromagnetic hypersensitivity or EHS .
This fact sheet describes what is known about the condition and provides information for helping people with such symptoms .
Information provided is based on a WHO Workshop on Electrical Hypersensitivity ( Prague , Czech Republic , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ EMF and non-specific health symptoms ( COST244bis , 1998 ) , a European Commission report ( Bergqvist and Vogel , 1997 ) and recent reviews of the literature .

What the general public is unclear of is that cell phone technology is not the same as 5G wifi technology , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ health .
The reason why the industry tries to muddy the waters with this miss information is because they do not want the truth to be known about the harmful effects of 5G .
Chaplain Kevin was also quoted saying , “ The public doesn ’ t know the differences between the two 5G technical terms , all one has to do is read their cell phone manual to see buried within the fine print are instructions to keep the cell phone at least one inch away from your ear and it is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ come into direct contact with your skin .
The fine print in our cell phone manuals is so small and so embedded with legal jargon that the consumer needs to practically have x ray vision in order to be able to find it.

The Department of the Interior is expected to ground nearly 1,000 drones in the near term, two sources told the Times. They said the drones are at high risk of being hacked by the Chinese.

Sources said he’s planning to ground the fleet, with several exceptions, including the use for natural disasters and training.
The drones in focus are made by Chinese company DJI, which is the world’s largest civilian drone maker. Congress has been debating a bill for some time that could ban all DJI products from federal agencies.
Western companies have admitted defeat to DJI, as the company controls 70% of the global civilian drone market share. The proposal by U.S. officials to ban DJI from the Interior and other agencies could be a ploy to encourage development among domestic brands.
If the Interior decides to ground DJI drones, it could then trigger a widespread banning across all agencies.
A DJI spokesperson said: “While we have not seen the new policy, we look forward to reviewing the findings of DOI’S comprehensive review of its drone program, given the lack of credible evidence to support a broad country-of-origin restriction on drone technology.”
The Fish and Wildlife Service warned that a ban on DJI products would undermine the agency’s ability to monitor controlled burns and wildfires.

activistpost--2020-01-13--12 Signs That The Economy Is Seriously Slowing Down As 2020 Begins

Lost in all of the headlines about Iran and impeachment is the fact that the U.S. economic slowdown which began during the latter stages of last year appears to be accelerating .
The final numbers which will tell us if we are officially in a recession at this moment won ’ t be released until months from now , but for millions upon millions of Americans it definitely feels like one has already started .
Yes , the stock market has been soaring , but at this point the stock market has become completely divorced from economic reality .
And @ @ @ @ @ @ @ article , stock prices are now the most overvalued that they have ever been in all of American history .
But before we get to that , let ’ s talk about what is happening in the real economy .
The following are 12 signs that the economy is seriously slowing down as 2020 begins… # 1 The U.S. Manufacturing Purchasing Managers Index has been in contraction for 5 months in a row , and it is now at the lowest level we have seen since June 2009 .
# 2 Last month @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pace we have seen since August 2009 .
# 3 Last month , new manufacturing orders fell at the fastest pace we have seen since April 2009 .
# 4 Chicago PMI has been contracting for 4 months in a row .
# 6 Borden Dairy , one of the largest dairy companies in the entire world , declared bankruptcy just a few days ago .
# 7 Earlier this month , the Baltic Dry Index had its worst day in 6 years .
# 8 Overall , the decline in the Baltic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that we have seen since 2008 .
# 9 The auto recession just continues to get even worse .
Thanks to the substantial slowdown we witnessed during the second half of 2019 , the total number of cars and trucks sold in the United States during all of 2019 was actually below the level that we witnessed back in 2000 when our population was significantly smaller .
# 10 Used heavy duty truck prices have fallen “ as much as 50 % “ .
# 11 Macy ’ s just announced that they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 12 To start the year , AT & T is laying off thousands of workers , and according to Robert Reich those being laid off “ will have to train their foreign replacements “ .
Of course many of the “ experts ” continue to assure us that everything will be just fine .
In fact , one panel of “ experts ” recently came to the conclusion that there is “ almost no chance of a recession this year ” .
That would be absolutely wonderful news if it was true .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ shared with you tell a completely different story .
They tell the story of an economy that is most definitely heading for a recession .
And according to John Williams of shadowstats.com , if the government was using honest numbers they would show that we are actually in a recession right now .
But what about the stock market ?
Shouldn ’ t the fact that stock prices have been soaring be seen as an optimistic sign ?
Well , there have been a few other stock bubbles of this nature throughout our @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ended very badly .
In 1929 , stock prices were at an all-time record high and it seemed like the economic good times would never end .
But then the stock market crashed and we plummeted into the Great Depression of the 1930s .
In 2000 , the dotcom bubble pushed stock prices to absolutely absurd heights , but then stock prices quickly collapsed when the bubble burst and the U.S. economy fell into a very painful recession .
During the years leading up to 2008 , stock prices once again rose to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ party would last indefinitely .
But then the financial crisis struck , and the Great Recession of 2008 and 2009 was the most excruciating economic downturn our nation has experienced since the 1930s .
Unfortunately , we are even more primed for a stock market crash now than we were in any of the previous examples that I just shared .
So how do I know this ?
Well , for one thing P/E ratios have become ridiculously inflated .
The following comes from Marketwatch… In addition , price-to-sales ratios for the S @ @ @ @ @ @ @ highest level in all of U.S. history… In other words , in the entire history of the United States stock prices have never been more overvalued than they are at this moment .
And every other time we have seen stock price ratios get this high , an absolutely horrifying stock market crash has followed .
The optimists are insisting that things will somehow turn out differently this time .
They assure us that everything is under control and that very bright days are ahead .

Lost in all of the headlines about Iran and impeachment is the fact that the U.S. economic slowdown which began during the latter stages of last year appears to be accelerating. The final numbers which will tell us if we are officially in a recession at this moment won’t be released until months from now, but for millions upon millions of Americans it definitely feels like one has already started.
Yes, the stock market has been soaring, but at this point the stock market has become completely divorced from economic reality. And as you will see later in this article, stock prices are now the most overvalued that they have ever been in all of American history.
But before we get to that, let’s talk about what is happening in the real economy.
The following are 12 signs that the economy is seriously slowing down as 2020 begins…
#1 The U.S. Manufacturing Purchasing Managers Index has been in contraction for 5 months in a row, and it is now at the lowest level we have seen since June 2009.
#2 Last month, manufacturing employment fell at the fastest pace we have seen since August 2009.
#3 Last month, new manufacturing orders fell at the fastest pace we have seen since April 2009.
#4 Chicago PMI has been contracting for 4 months in a row.
#5 European manufacturing PMI declined again in December.
#6 Borden Dairy, one of the largest dairy companies in the entire world, declared bankruptcy just a few days ago.
#7 Earlier this month, the Baltic Dry Index had its worst day in 6 years.
#8 Overall, the decline in the Baltic Dry Index this month is the largest that we have seen since 2008.
#9 The auto recession just continues to get even worse. Thanks to the substantial slowdown we witnessed during the second half of 2019, the total number of cars and trucks sold in the United States during all of 2019 was actually below the level that we witnessed back in 2000 when our population was significantly smaller.
#10 Used heavy duty truck prices have fallen “as much as 50%“.
#11 Macy’s just announced that they will be closing 28 stores.
#12 To start the year, AT&T is laying off thousands of workers, and according to Robert Reich those being laid off “will have to train their foreign replacements“.
Of course many of the “experts” continue to assure us that everything will be just fine.
In fact, one panel of “experts” recently came to the conclusion that there is “almost no chance of a recession this year”.
That would be absolutely wonderful news if it was true.
Sadly, the numbers that I just shared with you tell a completely different story. They tell the story of an economy that is most definitely heading for a recession.
And according to John Williams of shadowstats.com, if the government was using honest numbers they would show that we are actually in a recession right now.
But what about the stock market?
Shouldn’t the fact that stock prices have been soaring be seen as an optimistic sign?
Well, there have been a few other stock bubbles of this nature throughout our history, and all of them have ended very badly.
In 1929, stock prices were at an all-time record high and it seemed like the economic good times would never end.
But then the stock market crashed and we plummeted into the Great Depression of the 1930s.
In 2000, the dotcom bubble pushed stock prices to absolutely absurd heights, but then stock prices quickly collapsed when the bubble burst and the U.S. economy fell into a very painful recession.
During the years leading up to 2008, stock prices once again rose to dizzying levels and it seemed like the party would last indefinitely.
But then the financial crisis struck, and the Great Recession of 2008 and 2009 was the most excruciating economic downturn our nation has experienced since the 1930s.
Unfortunately, we are even more primed for a stock market crash now than we were in any of the previous examples that I just shared.
So how do I know this?
Well, for one thing P/E ratios have become ridiculously inflated. The following comes from Marketwatch…
Indeed stocks are overvalued according to the popular measure of price-to-earnings (P/E) — which compares the price of one share of stock to one year of per-share earnings relative to recent history. The S&P 500 index SPX, -0.29% is trading at 18.6 times forward earnings, according to FactSet data, above the average ratio of 16.7 during the past five years and 14.9 over the past ten.
In addition, price-to-sales ratios for the S&P 500 are now at the highest level in all of U.S. history…
The above chart, from Ned Davis Research, shows that price relative to sales for the S&P 500 is at a record high, “well in excess of what they were in 2000 or 2007 at those peaks,” wrote Ned Davis in a Wednesday note to clients. Other measures, like the median price to earnings ratio — which exclude the skewed effects of very profitable and very unprofitable companies — shows the S&P 500 overvalued by nearly 30% versus the typical valuation level seen since 1964.
In other words, in the entire history of the United States stock prices have never been more overvalued than they are at this moment.
And every other time we have seen stock price ratios get this high, an absolutely horrifying stock market crash has followed.
The optimists are insisting that things will somehow turn out differently this time.
They assure us that everything is under control and that very bright days are ahead.
You can believe them if you want, but every indicator is pointing in the opposite direction.

During a recent interview with Fox News ’ Laura Ingraham , U.S. President Donald Trump made some telling comments about the true motives behind the foreign policy of the United States .
When speaking optimistically about the country ’ s diplomatic relationship with Saudi Arabia , Trump bragged bout how much the oil-rich dictatorship paid the U.S. for military support .
“ Saudi Arabia is paying us for [ our troops ] .
We have a very good relationship with Saudi Arabia .
I said , listen , you ’ re a very rich country .
You want more troops @ @ @ @ @ @ @ them to you , but you ’ ve got to pay us .
They ’ re paying us .
They ’ ve already deposited $ 1 billion in the bank , ” Trump said .
In effect , Trump was suggesting that U.S. troops are acting as mercenaries for Saudi Arabia .
“ We are going to help them , but these rich countries have to pay for it .
South Korea gave us $ 500 million… I said , ‘ You got ta help us along .
We have 32,000 soldiers in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
You ’ ve got ta pay ’ , ” he added .
Anti-war conservative Rep. Justin Amash , who recently split from the Republican Party , was quick to point out this gross misuse of military power .
Amash has been a critic of Trump ’ s foreign policy for the duration of his presidency and was equally critical of Obama .
Amash was one of the few Republicans who supported the recent measure to impeach President Trump .
On Meet the Press in October , Amash spoke of this specific practice @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Saudi Arabia .
“ There are people who support the president , who believe things he says , but it ’ s pretty clear he ’ s not bringing home the troops .
He ’ s just moving them to other parts of the Middle East .
He ’ s moving troops back into Iraq , he ’ s moving other troops into Saudi Arabia and using our forces almost as mercenaries , paid mercenaries who are going to come in , as long as Saudi Arabia pays us some money , it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Amash said .
If the United States military is “ selling ” its troops to anyone willing to pay , then it stands to reason that the stated goal of fighting terrorism in the region may just be a cover story for less noble goals , especially if countries like Saudi Arabia are able to call the shots .

He’s moving troops back into Iraq, he’s moving other troops into Saudi Arabia and using our forces almost as mercenaries, paid mercenaries who are going to come in, as long as Saudi Arabia pays us some money, it’s good to go,” Amash said.

activistpost--2020-01-14--Hemp Farmers Worried Newly Proposed Changes to Federal Regulations Could Put Them Out Of Business

Hemp growers and entrepreneurs who were joyous a year ago after U.S. lawmakers reclassified the plant as a legal agricultural crop now are worried their businesses could be crippled if federal policymakers move ahead with draft regulations .
Licenses for hemp cultivation topped a half-million acres last year , more than 450 % above 2018 levels , so there ’ s intense interest in the rules the U.S. government is creating .
Critical comments on the draft have poured in from hemp farmers , processors , retailers and state governments .
Growers are concerned the government wants to use a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ crops failing required tests and being destroyed .
The U.S. Department of Agriculture , the agency writing the rules , estimates 20 % of hemp lots would fail under the proposed regulations .

The agency told The Associated Press it will analyze information from this year ’ s growing season before releasing its final rules , which would take effect in 2021 .
Agricultural officials @ @ @ @ @ @ @ programs under an earlier federal provision are weighing in with formal letters to the USDA .

Hemp growers and entrepreneurs who were joyous a year ago after U.S. lawmakers reclassified the plant as a legal agricultural crop now are worried their businesses could be crippled if federal policymakers move ahead with draft regulations.
Licenses for hemp cultivation topped a half-million acres last year, more than 450% above 2018 levels, so there’s intense interest in the rules the U.S. government is creating. Critical comments on the draft have poured in from hemp farmers, processors, retailers and state governments.
Growers are concerned the government wants to use a heavy hand that could result in many crops failing required tests and being destroyed. The U.S. Department of Agriculture, the agency writing the rules, estimates 20% of hemp lots would fail under the proposed regulations.
“Their business is to support farmers — and not punish farmers — and the rules as they’re written right now punish farmers,” said Dove Oldham, who last year grew an acre of hemp on her family farm in Grants Pass. “There’s just a lot of confusion, and people are just looking for leadership.”
The USDA did not respond to the criticism but has taken the unusual step of extending the public comment period by a month, until Jan. 29. The agency told The Associated Press it will analyze information from this year’s growing season before releasing its final rules, which would take effect in 2021.
Agricultural officials in states that run pilot hemp cultivation programs under an earlier federal provision are weighing in with formal letters to the USDA.
“There are 46 states where hemp is legal, and I’m going to say that every single state has raised concerns to us about something within the rule. They might be coming from different perspectives, but every state has raised concerns,” said Aline DeLucia, director of public policy for the National Association of State Departments of Agriculture.
Most of the anxiety involves how the federal government plans to test for THC, the high-inducing compound found in marijuana and hemp, both cannabis plants. The federal government and most states consider plants with tiny amounts — 0.3% or less — to be hemp. Anything above that is marijuana and illegal under federal law.
Yet another cannabis compound has fueled the explosion in hemp cultivation, cannabidiol, or CBD, is marketed as a health and wellness aid and infused in everything from food and drinks to lotions, toothpaste and pet treats.

But hemp is a notoriously fickle crop. Conditions such as sunlight, moisture and soil composition determine its ratio of THC to CBD. Choosing the right harvesting window is critical to ensuring it stays within acceptable THC levels.
Under the draft USDA rules, farmers have no wiggle room. They must harvest within 15 days of testing their crop for THC, and the samples must be sent to a lab certified by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration. Samples must be from the top of the plant, where THC levels are highest, and the final measurement must include not just THC, but also THCA, a nonpsychoactive component.
Crops that test above 0.3% for the two combined must be destroyed. Growers with crops above 0.5% would be considered in “negligent violation,” and those with repeated violations could be suspended from farming hemp.

The draft regulations don’t “seem to be informed by the reality of the crop,” said Jesse Richardson, who with his brother sells CBD-infused teas and capsules under the brand The Brothers Apothecary.
If no one can produce (federally) compliant hemp flower, then there will be no CBD oil on the market.
Growers are also worried about the proposed rule requiring that all THC testing be done in a DEA-certified lab because there are so few of them. Some states have only one, which would serve hundreds of growers in a short harvest window.
Concerns also have emerged about the workload the draft rules would place on states. Many do random sampling for THC levels, but the USDA would require five samples from every hemp lot — a burden for state agricultural departments, said DeLucia, of the national ag agencies group.
If federal rules are too onerous and expensive, some states might drop their hemp programs. In those cases, farmers would have to apply for licenses with the USDA, and at this stage it’s unclear how U.S. officials would manage or pay for a nationwide licensing program, DeLucia said.
Under the 2018 Farm Bill, the USDA must approve state plans for hemp programs. Louisiana, Ohio and New Jersey last month were the first to get the green light — but those plans might need to be reworked after final rules are written.
“What we don’t want to see is states having to write their rules and then have to change the rules again and rewrite them” after 2021, said Steenstra, of Vote Hemp.

activistpost--2020-01-14--The Robots Are Coming, And They Are Going To Take Over Millions Of Jobs

When we get to a point where literally just about everything can be done more cheaply and more efficiently by robots , the elite won ’ t have any use for the rest of us at all .
For most of human history , the wealthy have needed the poor to do the work that is necessary to run their businesses and make them even wealthier .

Competition with technology is one of the reasons why wage growth has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of decades .
The only way it makes sense for an employer to hire you is if you can do a job less expensively than some form of technology can do it .
As a result , close to two-thirds of the jobs that have been created in the United States over the past couple of decades have been low-wage jobs , and the middle class is being steadily hollowed out .
But as robots continue to become cheaper and more efficient , even our lowest paying jobs will be vanishing in enormous @ @ @ @ @ @ @ being reported that executives at Walmart plan to greatly increase the size of their “ robot army ” … In addition to scanning shelves , Walmart already has a whole host of robots doing such things as scrubbing floors , unloading trucks and gathering grocery orders… Meanwhile , Walmart has been testing “ a new employee structure ” which is intended to “ cut down the size of its store management staff ” … See : 177 Different Ways to Generate Extra Income So the employees that survive will get a “ pay @ @ @ @ @ @ @ increase in responsibility , but what about all the others that are having their jobs eliminated ?
Don ’ t worry , because in an interview about this new initiative one Walmart executive assured us that their employees “ like smaller teams ” … Today , Walmart is the largest employer in the United States by a wide margin .
But these coming changes will ultimately mean a lot more robot workers and a lot less human workers .
Of course countless other heartless corporations are implementing similar measures .
And considering the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 97 percent of U.S. CFOs believe that a recession is coming in 2020 , we are likely to see a “ thinning of the ranks ” in company after company as this year rolls along .
Sadly , even if there was no economic downturn coming we would continue to lose jobs to robots .
According to one study , a whopping 45 percent of our current jobs “ can be automated ” … In this day and age , no worker is safe .
I know someone that gave his heart and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ years , and then one day he was called into the office when he arrived for work and he was out of a job by lunch .
He hadn ’ t done anything wrong at all .
It is just that his heartless corporate bosses had decided to eliminate his position throughout the entire company .
If you think that they actually care about you , then you are just fooling yourself .
Unfortunately , the job losses are just going to keep accelerating .
In fact , it is being projected that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ globe could be taken over by robots by the year 2030… And as wealthy executives lay off low-wage workers in staggering numbers , that will make the growing gap between the rich and the poor even worse… The good news is that the full extent of this ominous scenario is not likely to completely play out .
The bad news is that this is because our society is rapidly moving toward complete and utter collapse .
I wish that there was an easy solution to this growing problem .
In a free market @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mandate that employers must hire human workers ?
But if millions upon millions of men and women can ’ t feed their families because they don ’ t have jobs , that will create the sort of social nightmare that we can not even imagine right now .
This is something that all of the 2020 presidential candidates should be talking about , because this is a crisis that is spinning out of control , and it is getting worse with each passing day .

Op-Ed by Michael Snyder
When we get to a point where literally just about everything can be done more cheaply and more efficiently by robots, the elite won’t have any use for the rest of us at all. For most of human history, the wealthy have needed the poor to do the work that is necessary to run their businesses and make them even wealthier. In this day and age we like to call ourselves “employees”, but in reality we are their servants. Some of us may be more well paid than others, but the vast majority of us are expending our best years serving their enterprises so that we can pay the bills. Unfortunately, that paradigm is rapidly changing, and many of the jobs that humans are doing today will be done by robots in the not too distant future. In fact, millions of human workers have already been displaced, and as you will see below experts are warning that the job losses are likely to greatly accelerate in the years to come.
Competition with technology is one of the reasons why wage growth has been so stagnant over the past couple of decades. The only way it makes sense for an employer to hire you is if you can do a job less expensively than some form of technology can do it.
As a result, close to two-thirds of the jobs that have been created in the United States over the past couple of decades have been low-wage jobs, and the middle class is being steadily hollowed out.
But as robots continue to become cheaper and more efficient, even our lowest paying jobs will be vanishing in enormous numbers.
For example, it is being reported that executives at Walmart plan to greatly increase the size of their “robot army”…
Walmart Inc.’s robot army is growing. The world’s largest retailer will add shelf-scanning robots to 650 more U.S. stores by the end of the summer, bringing its fleet to 1,000. The six-foot-tall Bossa Nova devices, equipped with 15 cameras each, roam aisles and send alerts to store employees’ handheld devices when items are out of stock, helping to solve a vexing problem that costs retailers nearly a trillion dollars annually, according to researcher IHL Group.
In addition to scanning shelves, Walmart already has a whole host of robots doing such things as scrubbing floors, unloading trucks and gathering grocery orders…
The new robots, designed by San Francisco-based Bossa Nova Robotics Inc., join the ranks of Walmart’s increasingly automated workforce which also includes devices to scrub floors, unload trucks and gather online-grocery orders.
Meanwhile, Walmart has been testing “a new employee structure” which is intended to “cut down the size of its store management staff”…
Walmart is testing out a new employee structure within its stores in an attempt to cut down the size of its store management staff. The nation’s biggest employer is looking to see if it can have fewer midlevel store managers overseeing workers, with these managers seeing both their responsibilities and their pay increase.
So the employees that survive will get a “pay increase” to go with a huge increase in responsibility, but what about all the others that are having their jobs eliminated?
Don’t worry, because in an interview about this new initiative one Walmart executive assured us that their employees “like smaller teams”…
“Associates like smaller teams, and they like having a connection with a leader. They want something they can own and to know if they are winning or losing every day. And today that does not always happen,” Drew Holler, U.S. senior vice president of associate experience, said in an interview.
Today, Walmart is the largest employer in the United States by a wide margin.
But these coming changes will ultimately mean a lot more robot workers and a lot less human workers.
Of course countless other heartless corporations are implementing similar measures. And considering the fact that one recent survey found that 97 percent of U.S. CFOs believe that a recession is coming in 2020, we are likely to see a “thinning of the ranks” in company after company as this year rolls along.
Sadly, even if there was no economic downturn coming we would continue to lose jobs to robots. According to one study, a whopping 45 percent of our current jobs “can be automated”…
Here’s the truth: Robots are already starting to take jobs from hourly human workers, and it’s going to continue. Research from McKinsey found that 45% of current jobs can be automated. We need to stop avoiding the situation and create real solutions to help displaced workers.
In this day and age, no worker is safe.
I know someone that gave his heart and soul to a big corporation for many years, and then one day he was called into the office when he arrived for work and he was out of a job by lunch.
He hadn’t done anything wrong at all. It is just that his heartless corporate bosses had decided to eliminate his position throughout the entire company.
If you think that they actually care about you, then you are just fooling yourself.
Unfortunately, the job losses are just going to keep accelerating. In fact, it is being projected that approximately 20 million manufacturing jobs around the globe could be taken over by robots by the year 2030…
Robots could take over 20 million manufacturing jobs around the world by 2030, economists claimed Wednesday. According to a new study from Oxford Economics, within the next 11 years there could be 14 million robots put to work in China alone.
And as wealthy executives lay off low-wage workers in staggering numbers, that will make the growing gap between the rich and the poor even worse…
“As a result of robotization, tens of millions of jobs will be lost, especially in poorer local economies that rely on lower-skilled workers. This will therefore translate to an increase in income inequality,” the study’s authors said.
The good news is that the full extent of this ominous scenario is not likely to completely play out. The bad news is that this is because our society is rapidly moving toward complete and utter collapse.
I wish that there was an easy solution to this growing problem.
In a free market system, should anyone be trying to mandate that employers must hire human workers?
But if millions upon millions of men and women can’t feed their families because they don’t have jobs, that will create the sort of social nightmare that we cannot even imagine right now.
This is something that all of the 2020 presidential candidates should be talking about, because this is a crisis that is spinning out of control, and it is getting worse with each passing day.

Pompeo set out this rather disturbing claim in talks at Stanford’s Hoover Institute. He avoided mention of the “imminent threat” talking point that President Trump has since abandoned. He says that killing Soleimani was part of the Trump Administration’s goal of “real deterrence.”
He said nations have to understand that the US is not only capable of imposing cost on nations by killing their leaders but “willing to do so,” saying that the killing put the US in the “greatest position of strength ever.”
Pompeo presented the killing of Soleimani as part of the same strategy that has seen the US sending lethal military aid to Ukraine, and withdrawal of the US from arms control deals and testing of intermediate-range nuclear weapons. He also said sending more ships through the South China Sea was “restoring credibility.”

In a letter to U.S. senators , tech behemoth Amazon admits that it has fired employees discovered to have been spying on customers using the company ’ s Ring cameras .
Although the Ring cameras were originally marketed as a way to see who ’ s standing outside the door before opening it , many users have installed the surveillance equipment inside the house .

In November 2019 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Edward J. Markey , Christopher A. Coons , and Gary C. Peters co-signed the letter looking for answers to questions about stories of privacy breaches being reported in the media .
The letter to legislators , signed by Amazon Vice President of Public Policy Brian Huseman , explains that Ring received four complaints of its employees viewing of Ring data “ that exceeded what was necessary for their job functions.
” Huseman reports in the letter that “ after determining that the individual violated company policy , the individual was terminated.

The access to the live video feeds of Ring customers by Amazon employees was first reported by The Intercept .

In its letter, Ring explains, “The R&D team in Ukraine can only access publicly available videos and videos available from Ring employees, contractors, and friends and family of employees or contractors with their express consent.”

The software churns through previously compromised email addresses and passwords to break into Ring cameras at scale. This has led to a recent spate of hacks that have occurred both during the podcast and at other times, several of which have been covered by local media outlets. In Brookhaven a hacker shouted at a sleeping woman through her hacked Ring camera to wake up. In Texas, a hacker demanded a couple pay a bitcoin ransom. Hackers targeted a family in DeSoto County, Mississippi, and spoke through the device to one of the young children.
In response to these rattling incidents of invasion of its customers’ homes, Ring devices now sound an alarm when someone is accessing the device from a new location.
“Requiring two-factor [authentication] for new accounts is a step in the right direction, but there are millions of consumers who already have a Ring camera in their homes who remain needlessly vulnerable to hackers.

Finally, while Ring customers are undeniably justified to fear hackers invading their homes through these devices or Ring employees watching them in unguarded moments, there is yet another group with access to the sights and sounds collected by Ring surveillance devices that is potentially more menacing.
Amazon’s Ring home security service has entered into contracts with over 200 police departments, giving law enforcement expansive access to the video and audio collected by the service’s surveillance devices.
A visit to Amazon’s Ring Security System’s product page reveals to possible customers — and those worried about personal privacy — all the data that Amazon is making available — without prior permission or notice of Ring customers — to police departments.

Perhaps most troubling is the fact that the images and sounds recorded by Ring can be obtained from Ring customers without a warrant. Admittedly, the homeowner would need to give permission to police, but pressure would be there. As millions of Americans are fond of saying, “If you haven’t done anything wrong, you’ve got nothing to hide.” So complying with a request from police for access to their security camera footage would be regarded by many as their civic duty.
