“High-profile warnings from figures like Col. Lawrence Wilkerson, suggesting a declining America is uniquely prone to nuclear first-use, underscore a visceral fear demanding rigorous analysis”

Dumped fruit ended up in N.B. landfill because donating would have been too risky, group says
Bunches of bright red tomatoes were spotted in boxes in a landfill earlier this month, but the group that oversees the distribution of food to food banks says that isn't what it looks like.

All I can tell you is that this is like a super-vulcano ready to blow up ANY time.
What I can't tell you though is, how far the #risk has already spread through the #GlobalEconomy.
Have, for instance, European #Banks again been bying up mixed risk #securities from the #US like hell, or has their past experience made them more careful ?
I don't know.
Maby the @EUCommission , @ecb can tell us all more about this ?!
The only reason to want Greenland is to invade Europe. This is basics. #Risk

Agentic AI isn’t theoretical—it’s already reshaping how businesses operate and secure systems. I sat down with Ken Huang to explore how autonomous agents impact development, governance, and security.

Seriously - free #strategic advice for every government: Do not build infrastructure on systems over which you have no control.
"but we have a contract"
Cool cool are you able to change business decisions within the contracted party? Probably no. You have a risk you simply cannot control or mitigate.
This is why #FOSS should be at the heart of all national digital infrastructures.
"Courage is the ability to speak out when no one else will" - Futurist Jim Carroll
No one seems to be willing to speak up while the damage is being done. Courage has disappeared. Corporate leadership seems to be excelling at mastering the art of being a wimp.
Sure, several top business leaders are 'expressing concern' about how tariff policies might affect companies and the broader economy. But few are willing to do anything. Meanwhile, all the uncertainty from the whiplash of insanity leads to a vortex of crashing consumer confidence, wild volatility, and the likelihood of an economic downturn.
Public comments are weak at best. Jamie Dimon of JPMorgan Chase recently changed his view on tariffs, noting that "uncertainty is not a good thing" and suggesting businesses may need to adjust their operations. With that, his team has increased their recession probability estimate from 30% to 40%. BlackRock CEO Larry Fink told CNN that "the economy is weakening as we speak" due to current policies, causing both individuals and business leaders to hesitate and reduce activity.
But aside from a few weak comments like this, few are speaking up. There is no courage. The fact is, while many other CEOs have expressed similar concerns privately, it seems few are willing to speak up. The lack of courage is palpable. This became the subject of an article in the Wall Street Journal the other day.
Consider the article.

How business leaders talk about the Trump administration in private has been markedly different than what they are game to say in public. The dissonance was on full display here this week.
Early on Tuesday, dozens of corporate executives and others assembled at a Yale CEO Caucus not far from the White House just as news emerged that the Trump administration planned to potentially double tariffs on steel and aluminum from Canada. Those in the room responded with a mix of groans and shocked laughter.
“There was universal revulsion against the Trump economic policies,” said Jeffrey Sonnenfeld, a professor at the Yale School of Management, who organized the invite-only summit that included corporate bosses such as JPMorgan Chase’s Jamie Dimon, billionaire Michael Dell and Pfizer’s Albert Bourla. “They’re also especially horrified about Canada.”
That sentiment wasn’t apparent hours later, when many of the same chief executives from the Yale event attended a question-and-answer session with President Trump at the Business Roundtable. There, the exchange was largely cordial and executives didn’t ask the president any pointed questions about his tariff strategy, according to people familiar with the event.
They're all silent. Scared of their shadows. These are the leaders taking the world into the future.

The avian flu virus is considered a pathogen with pandemic potential. #H5N1 has been rampant among dairy #cows in the #US for almost a year. Virologist #Drosten also warns that livestock should be kept in mind as potential vectors. But now, of all times, the Trump administration is attacking science.

Folks have pointed out that in the current state of ... /waves around .. that it might be a good idea for US based institutions to reconsider hosting sites on non-US country code top-level domains (ccTLD) such as .io (Indian Ocean, going away soon anyway), .it (Italy), and .ai (Anguilla)
One that always bugged me was various Mississippi Gov departments using .ms which belongs to Montserrat. In light of current events these might have more risk than they did before. It looks like most of the State of MS related sites are now forwarders/shorteners for the real sites but there are plenty of official sites for MS counties as well as various private orgs that are still fully hosted on .ms domains.
Search: mississippi site:.ms
This happens for other states to various degrees as well. In some cases it's mostly private company domains and in others there are a few official state domains.
