I remember many scenes like this.... I wonder if camera surveillance has changed this .... wherever there is surveillance there is less crime. There is no crime under complete communist state control. ;-) - Quoting a US Supreme Court Justice.

So many people died trying to cross this wall. It feels like a moment in history where we might see this wall rebuilt by the communists. They have already built it in the virtual "cyber" world.

The Revolution against the corporations controlling government is starting in France. I wonder why revolutions always seem to start in France? -

Federal Government and Public Opinion Public policy scholars and current and former elected officials took part in a Brookings Institution discussion on Americans' views of the federal government. At the start, University of Maryland Public Consultation Program Director Steven Kull outlined the findings of his new study, which surveyed U.S. public attitudes about the federal government. The report also offered various proposals for restoring the public confidence in the democratic process. Brookings Institution Governance Studies Chair William Galston moderated the event.

One of the largest firearms sellers in the U.S. is moving further away from...firearms. Some background: Just over a year ago, Dick’s CEO Edward Stack learned the Parkland gunman once bought a gun from Dick’s. While that wasn’t the gun he used to kill 17 people last year, Stack was shaken. That’s why he’s made it harder to buy guns at Dick’s—and why he’s pressured Congress to pass gun safety measures. Dick’s tested the fewer-guns approach in 10 stores last year. And if the expansion announced yesterday is successful, Dick’s will move to implement the same changes at more locations next year. While Stack’s approach has invited both support and criticism...it could potentially hurt Dick’s business. Adjusted same-store sales fell 3.1% annually last year. But there are larger forces at work: Gun demand (especially in brick-and-mortar stores) has been under pressure—U.S. firearm sales fell 12.4% year-over-year last month, estimates Small Arms Analytics & Forecasting.

Could this happen to the entire island? Last time I heard the infrastructure and services of almost all of Manhattan were needing BILLIONS worth of reconstruction. Let's not even talk about the ancient Subway system. -

What went wrong: It wasn’t clear what exactly caused the Boeing 737 Max 8 to go down in clear weather. But the pilot sent out a distress call and got clearance to return to the airport. This is all too familiar It’s the second deadly accident in five months for this model of Boeing’s best-selling jet. The Lion Air plane that plummeted into the Java Sea near Indonesia in October (killing 189 people) was also a Boeing 737 Max 8. Both were brand-new planes. Both failed minutes after takeoff. Both left no survivors. “It’s highly suspicious...Here we have a brand-new aircraft that’s gone down twice in a year. That rings alarm bells in the aviation industry, because that just doesn't happen,” said CNN aviation analyst Mary Schiavo. The mega-popular plane—a redesigned (and re-engined) version of the model that’s “formed the backbone of global fleets for five decades,” writes Bloomberg—started commercial service less than two years ago. Customers including Southwest, United, Ryanair, and more have made the model Boeing’s fastest-selling plane in history. Zoom out: While the Lion Air crash was the first fatal one for this model, questions are still swirling around that disaster. Investigations into plane crashes typically take months, but authorities will surely be looking for any link between the two tragedies. As for Ethiopian Airlines… The deadly crash is a major setback for the rapidly expanding carrier.Ethiopian Airlines has recently outpaced its rivals in Africa to build the capital city of Addis Ababa into a major aviation hub—and even steal some business from Dubai-based Emirates. And on a continent with a pretty dismal aviation safety record, Ethiopian Airlines has enjoyed a strong reputation. It’s a codeshare partner with United, a member of the Star Alliance, and Africa's only consistently profitable carrier.

I bet you that your bullets (if you could get your gun out in time) would feel like insect bites to him as he squeezes the life out of you and swallows you like I eat a tasty morsel of cheeseburger... one bite. Gulp.... We probably wouldn't even know what hit us before we could go firing off in every direction.

Update: You Can Bank on Deregulation Big financial firms were just told the equivalent of “We trust you to stay out past 11 pm...just don’t crash my Buick” from regulators. Zoom out before we zoom in: The measures announced yesterday mark another step away from the strict oversight banks faced following the 2008 crisis. So what’s new? During the Fed’s next annual stress test, the “qualitative” portion (the more subjective part) won’t determine whether U.S. banks pass or fail. U.S. firms better be ready to answer questions in the “quantitative” section, though, such as if they have sufficient capital to withstand challenging times. Scantrons will replace blue essay books. There are more potential rollbacks: A panel of regulators proposed a revamp of the way they monitor nonbank financial firms like insurance companies. Remember, in October the same panel reduced oversight of Prudential, the biggest U.S. insurer by assets.

Fast forward 2 years.... the growing U.S. trade deficit. It hit $621 billion in December, a 10-year high, despite President Trump’s intentions to reduce the gap through a more protectionist trade policy. What does a widening trade deficit mean? We’re boosting imports relative to exports. Here’s what’s going on... American consumers, feeling emboldened by tax cuts, upped their demand for goods from abroad. Meanwhile, a strong U.S. dollar made domestic goods less competitive in the global marketplace. Last, retaliatory tariffs placed on U.S. products (such as soybeans) contributed to a reduction in exports. Those duties came in response to the Trump administration’s own tariffs on other countries’ goods. Why it matters: Because trade deficits reflect sweeping, macroeconomic trends, most economists don’t lose sleep over them...except when deficits get so large that they take a bite out of GDP—which happened in Q4 2018.
