In a distraction from economic and social reality for the masses and sheeple, used by the mass media and advertising corporations, highly paid ‘reality TV’ star shows off her particular ‘hard-earned’ ‘skills’ and can ‘work hard’ by walking on a street and also get into a car wearing a different outfit:

A windy day in LA was certainly not going to stop Kim Kardashian mustering another revealing ensemble.

Of course every cloud has a silver lining for the attention-seeking reality star and Kim put the blustery weather to good use as she stepped out in a flimsy pleated skirt.

Unsurprisingly, the impossibly short black number caused quite a ‘frill’ and failed rebuff the gusts.

Man with no arms qualifies for U.S. Olympic Archery Team

9,999 counts per second…30 km away

Yes, I meant per second, not minute.

Unless they get this under control soon, more and more of these unlivable hotspots will be developing.

Inflation Comes at Us Like a Knuckleball (Mike Pento)

 

By Michael Pento

By its very definition, fiat money is something created out of thin air: the word “fiat” is Latin for “let it be done” (as in, by decree). But the convenience that such a currency system offers central bankers is paid at the expense of savers. With nothing of real or lasting value on which to anchor, the value of fiat currencies can always [...]

I would love to be bullish on the economy but frankly I can not see a single reason why.

Besides obviously foreclosures, debt-deficit (Europe+US), personal bankruptcies, two endless and at this point also pointless wars, there it is unemployment.

Yeah, sure adding 290,000 jobs to the picture was definitely better than what many had predicted, 180,000 but unemployment went up from 9.7 to 9.9%.
Wages are flat to slightly negative -0.1% which is not good too especially considering that no matter what they say, inflation is up if any just simply [...]
