First of all, Happy Holidays, if you celebrate
I was replaying the Honeybee Inn scene to study A (I'll get to that in a moment) but I was wondering since you're really good at reading C's expressions, was he in SOLDIER mode during the performance? We see him try and resist up until the last second then he looks down and closes his eyes for a second and then looks back up and I know that had to be his decision to go through with the performance but was wondering if something else happened there as well.
And back to A, my original reason for playing this section over again, it was another rebuttal to the whole "she's the mature girl Claudia is referring to" thing C*erith's try to argue. First, we see her entering after the performance begins, so I'm wondering if she snuck in instead of waiting outside. Or she's really bad at time management. Everyone else was seated before the performance began. Then we have A laughing, cheering, and giving C thumbs up when it is obvious that he is not enjoying this. He even gives her this "really?" look. And then afterwards when he asks her to refrain from commenting on his appearance, she does so anyways.
Meanwhile T stops commenting on C's appearance when he tells her to move on, she also asks if he actually wants to go through with the plan whereas A tells him that's the plan like it or not. I feel that if T had been the one going around Sector 6 with C, she would've tried to think of other plans to get to Corneo once she saw how uncomfortable C was with dressing in drag. I doubt she would've been cheering and laughing like A was.
It's obvious which one is actually the mature one of the two.
So these are everything I did on Cloud at the honeybee inn, and yeah, some of it is a bit dated thanks to the new info we have from the ultis but it's mostly on point.
The main difference is it wasn't so much real Cloud Vs soldier boi as it was him thinking about how Zack would just do the thing, so he did the thing. I'm not sure what that falls under since we're also told he can't remember Zack but then there's times he copies him, so maybe it's a bad translation and it doesn't mean he thinks about Zack specifically and consciously, but he gets the sensation he's the type of guy who'd dance in public if it means completing his mission, which is to save Tifa.
He even says to her in JP later that everything he did wasn't a choice, so I think it means he's deep in his persona and justifying to himself that to save Tifa this is what he has to do. Then when he reunites with her in the dungeon his true self is all "that's so not cool 😭"
As for Aerith it's in the ultis she did this to enjoy herself. She's repeating to Cloud that it's to save Tifa because that motivates him, but she just wants to have fun 😑

Tokenization is a game-changer for the stock market and the Fed realised it too. It could hit a whopping $1.5 trillion in market capitalization by 2030 as per the latest data. This new method of trading assets is faster, cheaper, and cuts out the middlemen. After Citibank, JP Morgan, and Northern Trust entered the market, companies in the S&P 500, such as BlackRock, Google, and Visa, are exploring tokenization as a transformative force.A Game-Changing Move The Federal Reserve has introduced a groundbreaking paper report on the potential of asset tokenization and risk-weighted assets (RWA) in the financial sector. This report outlines the benefits, including reduced investment thresholds, improved liquidity, and the promotion of lending. However, it also cautions about potential risks tied to the redemption process and liquidity of these assets, which could lead to higher leverage risks and impact financial stability. What the paper underscores is the current need for robust regulation and oversight to mitigate these potential risks. Key Benefits of TokenizationWhile tokenization is presently a small player in the market, the paper suggests an imminent shift. Many projects wrapped around, indicating that tokenization might soon gain a more substantial share of the digital asset landscape. The key advantage is that the common public can enter the challenging markets and enhance market liquidity. Nevertheless, the paper also addresses the financial stability risks associated with tokenization.Report Also Highlighted the Pain Points? What’s got the Fed worried? Well, it’s the web of connections between tokenized assets and traditional financial systems. These links could become conduits for financial turbulence, transmitting shocks and unpredictability. And then there’s the looming question of transparency. Do the issuers of these digital tokens really explain how they’re linked to their real-world counterparts? That’s a gray area that needs some serious light. Citibank Tokenization Project is Warming TooTo explore this blockchain revolution Citibank is testing a system that transforms customer deposits into digital tokens. This innovation, powered by a private blockchain, aims to deliver seamless, 24/7 transaction banking services to institutional clients. It’s a bold move toward next-generation financial solutions.However, the Federal Reserve’s entry into the tokenization arena is a signal that the tide is changing. It’s a recognition that the financial world is evolving fast, and they want to be ahead of the curve. Will tokenization revolutionize finance, or is it a ticking time bomb? Only time will tell, but with the Federal Reserve in the mix, things just got a lot more interesting.!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s) if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function()n.callMethod? n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments); if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0'; n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0; t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)(window,document,'script', ' fbq('init', '887971145773722'); fbq('track', 'PageView');

Market Talk - May 23, 2022
Tumblr media
ASIA: Southeast Asian nations are in store for a tougher trade environment as China’s economic growth slows due to hardline coronavirus controls, experts say, while the US attempts to boost engagement with the region are unlikely to offset falling demand. China’s economy is facing a number of headwinds – from new outbreaks to a downturn in the vast property sector – that threaten the government’s annual growth target of “around 5.5 percent”. Already, multinational banks including Goldman Sachs, Citi, JP Morgan and Morgan Stanley have cut their growth forecasts for the world’s No 2 economy to between 4 and 4.3 percent, citing zero Covid. India on Saturday announced a series of changes to the tax structure levied on crucial commodities in a bid to insulate consumers from rising prices amid high inflation. India announced cut in excise duty on petrol by 8 rupees ($0.1028) per litre, and 6 rupees per litre on diesel. The new tax regime on petrol and diesel could result in a loss of about 1 trillion Indian rupees to the government in annual revenue due to the lower collection. The latest measures will be effective from May 22, the government said in a notification after the announcement by Finance Minister Sitharaman, who also urged state governments to follow suit with similar reductions on fuel prices keeping in line with federal plans. The Indian government is also considering spending an additional 2 trillion rupees ($26 billion) in the 2022/23 fiscal year to cushion consumers from rising prices and fight multi-year high inflation, government officials told Reuters. The government estimates another 500 billion Indian rupees additional funds will be needed to subsidize fertilizers, from the current estimate of 2.15 trillion rupees, the two officials said. The major Asian stock markets had a mixed day today: - NIKKEI 225 increased 262.49 points or 0.98% to 27,001.52 - Shanghai increased 0.29 points or 0.01% to 3,146.86 - Hang Seng decreased 247.18 points or -1.19% to 20,470.06 - ASX 200 increased 3.30 points or 0.05% to 7,148.90 - Kospi increased 8.09 points or 0.31% to 2,647.38 - SENSEX decreased 37.78 points or -0.07% to 54,288.61 - Nifty50 decreased 51.45 points or -0.32% to 16,214.70 The major Asian currency markets had a mixed day today: - AUDUSD increased 0.00545 or 0.77% to 0.70975 - NZDUSD increased 0.00525 or 0.82% to 0.64585 - USDJPY decreased 0.129 or -0.10% to 127.826 - USDCNY decreased 0.03241 or -0.48% to 6.66246 Precious Metals: - Gold increased 3.47 USD/t oz. or 0.19% to 1,849.15 - Silver decreased 0.017 USD/t. oz or -0.08% to 21.733 No economic news from last night: Some economic news from today Hong Kong: CPI (YoY) (Apr) decreased from 1.70% to 1.30% EUROPE/EMEA: Britain is set to approve the sale of Premier League soccer Chelsea to a consortium led by Los Angeles Dodgers part-owner Todd Boehly, a source familiar with the situation told Reuters, after owner Roman Abramovich gave assurances over the deal. Russian Abramovich put the club up for sale in early March following his country’s invasion of Ukraine. The British government demanded assurances that Abramovich, who was sanctioned following the invasion – which Moscow calls a special operation – will not benefit from the sale. The UK government’s approval of the sale was being finalized on Monday night, the source said, though the deal also faces the need for EU approval, as Abramovich holds a Portuguese passport. The European Central Bank is likely to lift its deposit rate out of negative territory by the end of September and could raise it further if it sees inflation stabilizing at 2%, ECB President Christine Lagarde said on Monday. The ECB’s deposit rate is currently -0.5%, meaning banks are charged to park cash at the central bank, and has been below zero since 2014 as the central bank fought too low inflation. Headline inflation in the euro zone hit an all-time high of 7.4% in April and even measures that strip out food and energy far exceeded the ECB’s 2% target. The major Europe stock markets had a green day: - CAC 40 increased 73.50 points or 1.17% to 6,358.74 - FTSE 100 increased 123.46 points or 1.67% to 7,513.44 - DAX 30 increased 193.49 points or 1.38% to 14,175.40 The major Europe currency markets had a mixed day today: - EURUSD increased 0.01133 or 1.07% to 1.06731 - GBPUSD increased 0.00701 or 0.56% to 1.25608 - USDCHF decreased 0.00788 or -0.81% to 0.96669 Some economic news from Europe today: Germany: German Business Expectations (May) increased from 86.8 to 86.9 German Current Assessment (May) increased from 97.3 to 99.5 German Ifo Business Climate Index (May) increased from 91.9to 93.0 US/AMERICAS: The US announced progress on the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework with Asian partners including Australia, Japan, and Korea. The agreement would encourage countries to turn to the US rather than China for “economic leadership” in the Indo-Pacific region. China was angered by President Biden’s visit to the area, stating, “The main goal of Biden’s trip to South Korea and Japan is trying to form a new political posturing against China, by establishing an alliance around Washington in the Asia-Pacific region.” This adds more fuel to the ongoing trade war between the US and China who are both fighting for the title of “financial capital of the world.” US Market Closings: - Dow advanced 618.34 points or 1.98% to 31,880.24 - S&P 500 advanced 72.39 points or 1.86% to 3,973.75 - Nasdaq advanced 180.66 points or 1.59% to 11,535.28 - Russell 2000 advanced 19.5 points or 1.1% to 1,792.76 Canada Market Closings: - TSX Composite advanced 15.69 points or 0.08% to 20,197.61 - TSX 60 advanced 2.14 points or 0.18% to 1,222.49 Brazil Market Closing: - Bovespa advanced 1,857.94 points or 1.71% to 110,345.82 ENERGY: The oil markets had a mixed day today: - Crude Oil decreased 0.49 USD/BBL or -0.44% to 109.790 - Brent increased 0.22 USD/BBL or 0.20% to 112.77 - Natural gas increased 0.444 USD/MMBtu or 5.49% to 8.5270 - Gasoline decreased 0.0433 USD/GAL or -1.13% to 3.7937 - Heating oil increased 0.0251 USD/GAL or 0.67% to 3.7642 The above data was collected around 13:36 EST on Monday - Top commodity gainers: Natural Gas (5.49%) and Palm Oil (2.59%), Orange Juice (2.73%), Oat (3.84%) - Top commodity losers: Rhodium (-1.29%), Steel (-1.91%), Soybeans (-1.13%) and Gasoline (-1.13%) The above data was collected around 13:42 EST on Monday.

A disturbing trend in the water sector is accelerating worldwide. The new “water barons” — the Wall Street banks and elitist multibillionaires — are buying up water all over the world at unprecedented pace. Familiar mega-banks and investing powerhouses such as Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan Chase, Citigroup, UBS, Deutsche Bank, Credit Suisse, Macquarie Bank, Barclays Bank, the Blackstone Group, Allianz, and HSBC Bank, among others, are consolidating their control over water. Wealthy tycoons such as T. Boone Pickens, former President George H.W. Bush and his family, Hong Kong’s Li Ka-shing, Philippines’ Manuel V. Pangilinan and other Filipino billionaires, and others are also buying thousands of acres of land with aquifers, lakes, water rights, water utilities, and shares in water engineering and technology companies all over the world. The second disturbing trend is that while the new water barons are buying up water all over the world, governments are moving fast to limit citizens’ ability to become water self-sufficient (as evidenced by the well-publicized Gary Harrington’s case in Oregon, in which the state criminalized the collection of rainwater in three ponds located on his private land, by convicting him on nine counts and sentencing him for 30 days in jail). Let’s put this criminalization in perspective: Billionaire T. Boone Pickens owned more water rights than any other individuals in America, with rights over enough of the Ogallala Aquifer to drain approximately 200,000 acre-feet (or 65 billion gallons of water) a year. But ordinary citizen Gary Harrington cannot collect rainwater runoff on 170 acres of his private land. It’s a strange New World Order in which multibillionaires and elitist banks can own aquifers and lakes, but ordinary citizens cannot even collect rainwater and snow runoff in their own backyards and private lands. “Water is the oil of the 21st century.” Andrew Liveris, CEO of DOW Chemical Company (quoted in The Economist magazine, August 21, 2008) Read more: https://www.globalresearch.ca/the-new-water-barons-wall-street-mega-banks-are-buying-up-the-worlds-water/5383274 https://www.instagram.com/p/B3SCb3fDQ61/?igshid=1nv5sst8cs9nq

31 Actual National Emergencies
 by PAUL STREET
A Wannabe Strongman’s Brown Menace Straw Man
Everyone with five functioning gray cells knows that the aspiring fascist strongman Donald Trump’s Declaration of a National Emergency on the U.S.-Mexico border is absurd.
There is no “national security crisis” of illegal immigration on the southern United States border.
Illegal crossings are not at “emergency” levels; they are at a fifty-year low.
Undocumented immigrants are not a crime and violence threat.  They are less likely to commit crimes, violent ones included, than naturalized U.S. citizens.
Drugs come into the U.S. not through gaps in border fencing but primarily through legal ports of entry.
There is no big call for a completed U.S.-Mexico wall on the part of U.S. citizens on the southern border.
The United States military has not been “breaking up” and blocking “monstrous caravans” of illegal immigrants trying to harm the U.S.
The only crisis at the border is the humanitarian one created by Trump’s war on asylum-seekers and legal as well as technically illegal immigrants. The wannabe strongman has set up a ridiculous brown menace strawman in an effort to take an unprecedented step. He wants to use the National Emergencies Act to fulfill a ridiculous campaign promises to his white-nationalist base.  He wants to make an end run around Congress to spend federal taxpayer on a project that lawmakers chose not to fund – a political vanity scheme that is opposed by 60 percent of the U.S. populace.
Actual National Emergencies
An irony here is that the United States today is in fact haunted by many actual and interrelated national emergencies.  Here below are the top thirty-one that came to the present writer’s mind this last weekend:
1. Class Inequality. America is mired in a New Gilded Age where economic disparity is so extreme now that the top thousandth (the 0.1 percent, not just the 1 Percent) possesses more wealth than the bottom U.S. 90 percent and three absurdly rich U.S.-Americans – Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, and Warren Buffett – possess more wealth between them than the bottom half of the country.
2. Poverty. The nation’s 540 billionaires (Trump is one of them) enjoy lives of unimaginable opulence (Trump flew off to one of his resorts to play golf after declaring his “national emergency” – an “emergency” he foolishly said he didn’t actually have to declare) while 15 million children – 21% of all U.S. children – live in families with incomes below the federal poverty threshold, a measurement that has been shown to be drastically below the minimally adequate family budgets families require to meet basic expenses.
3. Plutocracy. “We must make our choice,” onetime Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandies wrote in 1941. “We may have democracy, or we may have wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can’t have both.” Consistent with Brandeis’s warning, the leading mainstream political scientists Benjamin Page and Martin Gilens find through exhaustive research that “the best evidence indicates that the wishes of ordinary Americans actually have had little or no impact on the making of federal government policy.  Wealthy individuals and organized interest groups – especially business corporations – have had much more political clout.  When they are taken into account, it becomes apparent that the general public has been virtually powerless…Government policy,” Page and Gilens determined, “reflects the wishes of those with money, not the wishes of the millions of ordinary citizens who turn out every two years to choose among the preapproved, money-vetted candidates for federal office.” Economic power is so concentrated in the US today you can count on one hand and one finger the multi-trillion-dollar financial institutions that control the nation’s economic and political life: Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan Chase, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, and Morgan Stanley. “You have no choice,” George Carlin used to tell his audiences earlier this century, “You have owners. They own you. They own everything. They own all the important land. They own and control the corporations. They’ve long since bought and paid for the Senate, the Congress, the state houses, the city halls. They got the judges in their back pockets and they own all the big media companies, so they control just about all of the news and information you get to hear.”
4. Bad Jobs. Trump boasts of American job creation and low official unemployment rate (real joblessness is a different story) while deleting the fact that tens of millions of the nation’s workers struggle with jobs whose pay lags far behind employment growth thanks to declining unionization (down to 6.5% of the private-sector workforce due to decades of relentless employer hostility), inadequate minimum wages, globalization, automation, and outsourcing. A third of the nation’s workers make less than $12 an hour ($24,960 a year assuming full-time work) and 42% get less than $15 ($31,200 a year). Good luck meeting a family’s food, rent, childcare, medical, and car payment (car ownership is often required in a nation that lacks adequate public transportation) costs on those kinds of returns on labor power. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York recently reported that a record 7 million U.S.-Americans are three months or more behind on their par payments. As the Washington Post reports: “Economists warn this is a red flag. Despite the strong economy and low unemployment rate, many Americans are struggling to pay their bills. ‘The substantial and growing number of distressed borrowers suggests that not all Americans have benefited from the strong labor market,’ economists at the New York Fed wrote in a blog post. A car loan is typically the first payment people make because a vehicle is critical to getting to work, and someone can live in a car if all else fails. When car loan delinquencies rise, it is a sign of significant duress among low-income and working-class Americans.”
5. Corporate Media Consolidation is so extreme in the U.S. now that just six corporations – Comcast, FOX, Disney, Viacom, CBS, and AT&T – together own more than half of traditional U.S. media content print, film and electronic. The Internet giants Google, Facebook, and Amazon rule online communication and shopping. (It is isn’t just about “news and information” [Carlin], by the way. The corporate-owned mass media probably spreads capitalist, racist, sexist, authoritarian, and military-imperialist propaganda more effectively through its entertainment wing than it does through its new and public/political affairs wing. A movie like “American Sniper” beats CNN reporting bias when it comes to advancing the U.S. imperial project [see #s 28 and 29 below]. A film like Clint Eastwood’s “Gran Torino” beats the evening news when it comes to advancing racist mass incarceration and racial segregation [see #s 6 and 9 below]).
6. Racial Disparity and Apartheid. The U.S. Black-white wealth gap is stark: 8 Black median household cents on the white median household dollar. Equally glaring is the nation’s level of racial segregation.  In the Chicago, New York, Detroit, and Milwaukee metropolitan areas, for example more than three in every four Black people would have to (be allowed to) move from their nearly all-black Census tracts into whiter ones in order to live in a place whose racial composition matched that of the broader region in which they reside. These two statistical measures are intimately interrelated since housing markets distribute so much more than just housing.  They also distribute access to jobs, good schools, green spaces, full-service groceries, safety, medical services and more that matters for “equal opportunity” and advancement.
7. Gender Inequality. Among full-time U.S. workers, women make 81 cents for every dollar a man is paid. The gap is worse in part-time employment since women more commonly work reduced schedules to handle domestic labor. Women ‘s median retirement savings are roughly one third of those of men. Households headed by single women with children have a poverty rate of 35.6 percent, more than double the 17.3 percent rate for households headed by single men with children. Women comprise just 27 percent of the nation’s top 10 income percent, 17 percent of the upper 1 percent, and 11 percent of the top 0.1 percent. By contrast, women make up nearly two-thirds (63 percent) of U.S. workers paid the federal minimum wage.
8. Native American Poverty. Thanks to the savage white-“settler” ethnic-cleansing of most of North America from the 16th century through 1900, Indigenous people make up just 1 percent of the U.S. population. The Native American poverty rate (28%) is double that of the nation as a whole and is particularly high in most of the commonly isolated and high-unemployment reservations where just more than a fifth of the nation’s Indigenous population lives. Native American life expectancy is 6 years short of the national average. In some states, Native American life expectancy is 20 years less than the national average. In Montana, Native American men live on average just 56 years.
9. Racist Mass Arrest, Incarceration, and Criminal Marking. The U.S. has the highest incarceration rate in the world, fueled by the racially disparate waging of the so-called War on Drugs. The racial disparities are so extreme that 1 in very 10 U.S. Black men is in prison or jail on any given day. One in 3 Black adult males are saddled with the permanent crippling mark of a felony record – what law professor Michelle Alexander has famously called “the New Jim Crow.” Blacks make up 12% of the U.S. population but 38% of the nation’s state prison population.
10. Trumpism/Fascism. The U.S. mass media focuses so heavily on the seemingly interminable awfulness of the creeping fascist Donald Trump (whose hideous nature is a ratings bonanza at CNN and MSNBC) that it is easy to lose sight of the fascistic horror of his authoritarian and white-nationalist supporters – roughly a third of the nation. The best social and political science research on Trump’s base reveals a fascist-like movementseeking a “strong” authoritarian “leader” who will rollback civil liberties and the gains won by women and racial and ethnic minorities since the 1960s. Trumpism wants to Make America more fully white-supremacist, patriarchal, and authoritarian (“great”) Again. Herr Donald’s disproportionately armed throng of die-hard devotees backs their Dear Leader no matter how terribly he behaves. It is a grave, creeping fascist threat to democracy.
11. The War on Truth. The aspiring fascist leader Trump made on average 15 false statements per day in 2018. He had stated more than 7,600 untruths as president by the end of last year. Trump lies constantly about matters big and small. He is a practitioner of what Chris Hedges calls “the permanent lie.” It is no small matter. In his description of this as “the most ominous threat” posed by Trump, Hedges quotes the philosopher Hannah Arendt. “The result of a consistent and total substitution of lies for factual truth,” Arendt wrote in her classic volume The Origins of Totalitarianism, “is not that the lie will now be accepted as truth and truth be defamed as a lie, but that the sense by which we take our bearings in the real world—and the category of truth versus falsehood is among the mental means to this end—is being destroyed.” Trump is only the most extreme and egregious wave of fabrication in a vast sea of national deception. U.S.-Americans, once accurately described by Alex Carey as “the most propagandized people in the world,” are surrounded by duplicitous and misleading information and imagery. This constant barrage of falsehood – examples include the thoroughly untrue notion that the U.S. possessed  a “great democracy” for the Trump campaign and Russia to (supposedly) “undermine” in 2016 – threatens to exhaust our capacity to distinguish fact from fiction.
12. Gun Violence. Fully 40,000 people died from shootings in the American “armed madhouse” in 2017 (we are still waiting for the grisly statistic for 2018). The U.S. was home to 322 mass shootings that killed 387 people and injured 1,227 in 2018. Twenty-eight mass shootings, killing 36 and wounding 92, took place in January of this year. A mass shooting killed five workers in Aurora, Illinois, on the very day (last Friday) that Trump declared his fake national emergency.
13. Sexual Violence. One in 5 women and 1 in 71 men will be raped at some point in their lives in the U.S.
14. Illiteracy and Innumeracy. More than 30 million adults in the United States cannot read, write, or do basic math above a third-grade level.
15. Manufactured Mass Ignorance and Amnesia. Thanks to corporate control of the nation’s media and schools, U.S.-Americans are shockingly ignorant of basic facts relating to their own history and society. White U.S.-Americans are mired in extraordinary denial about the level of Black-white inequality and the depth and degree of discrimination faced by Black Americans today. U.S.-Americans in general know next to nothing about the criminal and mass-murderous havoc U.S. foreign policy wreaks around the world.  This renders them incapable of understanding world politics and woefully vulnerable to nationalistic propaganda and militarism. Eleven years historian Rick Shenkman wrote a book titled “Just How Stupid Are We? Facing the Truth About the American Voter.” Shenkman found that a majority of Americans: didn’t know which party was in control of Congress; couldn’t name the chief justice of the Supreme Court; didn’t know the U.S. had three branches of government; believed George W. Bush’s argument the United States should invade Iraq because Saddam Hussein had attacked America on 9/11. Ask an average U.S.-American when the American War of Independence or the Civil War or WWII were fought and why, what the Bill of Rights was, what fascism is past and present, or what the Civil Rights Movement was about, and you will get blank stares and preposterously wrong answers. A people that doesn’t know its history wanders without a clue through the present and stumbles aimlessly into the future. Real historical knowledge is a great democratic people’s weapon and it is in perilously short supply in the U.S. today.
16. The Israel and Saudi Lobbies. Israel’s power in U.S. politics and political culture is so absurdly exaggerated that a freshman Muslim U.S. Congressional Representative (Ilhan Omar) was recently subjected to a massive and bipartisan political assault absurdly charging her with “anti-Semitism” for daring to Tweet seven words suggesting the elementarily true fact that the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) – a deep-powerful, deep-pockets public relations and lobbying organization committed to the advance of Israeli state interests – exercises money-lubricated influence on U.S. politics and policy. To visibly raise the question of Palestinian rights and Israel’s horrendous treatment of Arab peoples is to invite an onslaught from the Israel Lobby’s vicious and powerful attack-dogs. They’ve even been known to strip professors of tenure. Meanwhile, the despotic Saudi regime, possibly the most reactionary government on Earth, continues through money and other means to exercise huge influence on U.S. politics even as it senselessly crucifies the people of Yemen (with direct U.S. military assistance), cultivates terrorism across the Muslim world, and vivisects dissident journalists in its foreign embassies.
17. Neo-McCarthyism. The original Orwellian-American and Russia-mad McCarthyism of the late 1940s and 1950s has been resurrected in the post-Soviet era with a curious partisan twist. Anti-Russian hysteria has been picked up by the Democratic Party, which has been eager to blame its pathetic failure to defeat Trump on Russia’s supposedly powerful “interference in our [unmentionably non-existent] democracy” in 2016 – and to deny its politicos’ role in provoking any such relevant Russian interference as may have occurred. On the Republican side, Trump (who was mentored by Senator Joe McCarthy’s onetime chief counsel Roy Cohn!) and other GOP leaders now routinely follow in the footsteps of Joe McCarthy by calling even cringingly centrist corporate-neoliberal Democrats and everything they propose “socialist.” One of the most horrific moments in Herr Donald’s sickening State of the Union Address came when the Orange Mother of all Malignant Assholes (OMoAMA) told the assembled federal officials to “renew” the nation’s “pledge” that “America will never be a socialist country.”  Numerous Democrats, including House Speaker Nancy “We’re Capitalist and That’s Just the Way it is” Pelosi (net worth $71 million) and “progressive” U.S. Senator and presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren ($11 million) joined the GOPers in attendance in applauding that “pledge.”  McCarthyism was always and remains a richly bipartisan disease.
18. Health Care and Health. The United States’ corporate-owned/-managed for-profit health care system is the most expensive in the world but ranks just 12th in life expectancy among the 12 wealthiest industrialized countries. The U.S. spends almost three times more on healthcare as do other countries with comparable incomes. Reflecting poor, commercialized and corporate-imposed food systems and lethally sedentary life styles, 58 percent of the U.S. population is overweight, a major health risk factor.
19. Bad Schools. The nation’s expensive but very unequally funded schools deliver terrible outcomes. Among the world’s 34 ranking OECD nations, U.S. schools are the fifth most expensive, but the U.S. ranks scores far below average in math.  It ranks 17th among in reading and 21st in science.
20. Child Abuse. Childhelp reports that “Every year more than 3.6 million referrals are made to child protection agencies involving more than 6.6 million children. The United States has one of the worst records among industrialized nations – losing on average between four and seven children every day to child abuse and neglect…A report of child abuse is made very ten seconds.”
21. Depression and Substance Abuse. The United States, once described by onetime U.S. Senator Kay Bailey Hutchinson as “the beacon to the world of the way life should be” (in a speech supporting the Congressional authorization of George W. Bush to invade Iraq) has the third highest rates of depression and anxiety and the second highest rate of drug use in the world. “One in five adults in the U.S. experiences some form of mental illness each year,” according to the National Alliance on Mental Illness. That estimate is certainly absurdly low.
22. Immigrant Workers Without Rights. Undocumented immigrants make up 55% of hired labor on farms, 15% of laborers in construction, and 9% in both industry and the service sector. “These workers,” CBS reported earlier this year, “play vital roles in the U.S. economy, erecting American buildings, picking American apples and grapes, and taking care of American babies. Oh, and paying American taxes.”  Their technically illegal status makes them easily exploited by employers and undermines their ability to organize and fight for decent conditions both for themselves for other workers.
23. The Dreamer Nightmare. Eight hundred thousand people living in the U.S. were brought to the country as children by parents without U.S. citizenship.  These “Dreamers’” legal status is stuck in limbo.  They are not allowed to vote. They live in the shadow of possible future deportation, with their legal status treated as a partisan political football.
24. Vote Suppression. State-level racist voter suppression and de facto disenfranchisement is rife across the United States. Among other things, this has contributed significantly to the Republicans winning the presidency in 2000, 2004, and 2016. A “gentleman’s agreement” between the two reigning political parties pushes this critical problem to the margins of public discussion. (The Democrats have widely ignored the matter while they have obsessed for two years plus about Russia’s real or alleged role in the last election.  Moscow’s influence was likely small compared to American-as-Apple Pie racist voter suppression in electing Trump.) “The United States,” political scientist David Schutlz noted on Counterpunch last year, “is the only country in the world that still does not have in its Constitution an explicit clause  affirmatively granting a right to vote for all or some of its citizens.”
25. The Absurdly Archaic U.S. Constitution. Popular sovereignty, also known as democracy was the late 18thcentury U.S. Founders’ ultimate nightmare.  They crafted an aristo-republican national charter brilliantly crafted to keep it at bay – in the darkly ironic name of “We the People.”  Two and a third centuries later, their handiwork continues to do its explicitly un- and anti-democratic work through such openly authoritarian mechanisms as the Electoral College, the apportionment of two Senators to every U.S. state regardless of population, the distant time-staggering of elections, the lifetime presidential appointment and Senate approval of Supreme Court justices.  The preposterously venerated U.S. Constitution is an ongoing 232-year old authoritarian calamity in dire need of a radical and democratic overhaul. It is long past time for the populace to declare a national emergency and call for a Constituent Assembly to draft a new national governing structure dedicated to meaning popular self-rule.
26. Trump and the Imperial Presidency. The OMoAMA (Trump) is by all indications a demented and malignant narcissist, a pure sociopath, and a creeping fascist. But the fact that someone as twisted, venal, sexist, and racist as Trump can pose dire threats to humanity in the first place is in no small part a function of the extreme powers that have accrued to the United States constitutionally super-empowered executive branch over the many decades in which the U.S. has reigned as the world’s most powerful state.  The absurdly vast and authoritarian powers of the imperial presidency are an on ongoing national and global emergency.
27. Election Madness/Electoralism. In the early spring of 2008, the late radical American historian Howard Zinn wrote powerfully against the “Election Madness” he saw “engulfing the entire society including the left” in the year of Obama’s ascendancy. “An election frenzy seizes the country every four years,” Zinn worried, “because we have all been brought up to believe that voting is crucial in determining our destiny, that the most important act a citizen can engage in is to go to the polls. …” Zinn said he would support one major-party candidate over another but only “for two minutes—the amount of time it takes to pull the lever down in the voting booth.” Then he offered sage counsel, reminding us that time-staggered candidate-centered major party electoralism is a very weak surrogate for real popular sovereignty, which requires regular grassroots organization and militancy beneath and beyond what his good friend Noam Chomsky has called“the quadrennial electoral extravaganza”: “Before and after those two minutes, our time, our energy, should be spent in educating, agitating, organizing our fellow citizens in the workplace, in the neighborhood, in the schools. Our objective should be to build, painstakingly, patiently but energetically, a movement that, when it reaches a certain critical mass, would shake whoever is in the White House, in Congress, into changing national policy on matters of war and social justice. … We should not expect that a victory at the ballot box in November will even begin to budge the nation from its twin fundamental illnesses: capitalist greed and militarism. … Before [elections] … and after … we should be taking direct action against the obstacles to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. … Historically, government, whether in the hands of Republicans or Democrats, conservatives or liberals, has failed its responsibilities, until forced to by direct action: sit-ins and Freedom Rides for the rights of black people, strikes and boycotts for the rights of workers, mutinies and desertions of soldiers in order to stop a war. Voting is easy and marginally useful, but it is a poor substitute for democracy, which requires direct action by concerned citizens.” The reigning “mainstream” US media and politics culture is fiercely dedicated to advancing the hegemony of the major party candidate-centered election cycle, advancing the deadly totalitarian notion that those two minutes in a ballot box  once every four years – generally choosing among politics vetted in advance for us by the nation’s unelected and interrelated dictatorships of money and empire – is the sum total of “politics” – the only politics that really matters.  Since the hidden corporate control of the US electoral politics on behalf of the center-right ruling class rules out victory for candidates who accurately reflect majority left-progressive public opinion, these ritual exercises in fake democracy deeply reinforce the fatalistic and false belief that most Americans are centrist and right-wing. The 2020 Democratic Party presidential candidate Iowa-New Hampshire circus is already sucking up vast swaths of cable news coverage and commentary while numerous pressing matters (like most of what is listed in the present essay) is largely ignored. It’s pathetic.
28. Guns Over Butter. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. rightly preached that the U.S. could not end poverty or escape “spiritual death” as long as it diverted vast swaths of its tax revenue to a giant war machine that “draw [s] men and skills and money like some demonic destructive suction tube.” Just over half a century after King said this, the United States gives 54 percent of its federal discretionary to the Pentagon System, a giant subsidy to high-tech “defense” (war and empire) corporations like Raytheon and Boeing. Six million U.S, children live in “deep poverty,” at less than half (!) the federal government’s obscenely inadequate poverty level, while the U.S, government maintains 800 military bases in more than 70 countries and territoriesaround the world (Britain, France, and Russia together have a combined 30 foreign bases) and accounts for nearly 40 percent of all global military spending. It is deeply offensive that the progressive-populist (fake-“democratic socialist”) U.S. Senator and presidential candidate Bernie Sanders has repeatedly cited Scandinavian nations as his social-democratic policy role models without having the elementary Dr. Kingian decency to note that those countries dedicate relatively tiny portions of their national budgets to the military. It is disturbing but predictable that most Congressional Democrats voted for Trump’s record-setting $700 billion Pentagon budget last year. U.S. Americans must choose: we can have democracy, social justice, guaranteed free health care, well-funded public schools, and livable ecology or we can have a giant global war machine.  We can’t have both.
29. Doctrinal Denial of U.S. Imperialism. Across the U.S. “mainstream” political and media spectrum, it is beyond the pale of acceptable discussion to acknowledge that the United States is a deeply criminal and imperialist power. The examples are endless. It is normative for U.S. cable talking heads, pundits, and politicians to discuss Eastern Europe or East Asia as if the Washington has as much right to influence developments there as Moscow and Beijing, respectively. Terrible developments in the Middle East and North Africa are routinely discussed by “mainstream “U.S. politicos, talking heads, and pundits as if the United States had not wreaked nearly indescribable havoc on Iraq and Libya and the broader Muslim world. Migrants seeking asylum from Central America are regularly reported and discussed with zero reference to the fact that the United States has inflicted massive and bloody devastation on that region for decades – and without mentioning the Obama administration’s support of a vicious right-wing coup in Honduras in the spring of 2009.  Reporting on the current political crisis in Venezuela comes with complete Orwellian deletion of the United States’ role in crippling the nation’s democratically elected socialist government on the model of the Nixon administration’s campaign to undermine Chile’s democratically elected socialist government in the late 1960s and early 1970s.  No serious discussion is permitted of the historical context of Washington’s longstanding intervention and regime-change operations across Latin America. The reigning Empire-denial is absurd.
30. Amazon. Google (lol) up its mind-boggling and many-sided monopolistic reach and then thank the New York City Left for stopping this public-subsidy-sucking, zero tax-paying corporate monstrosity from setting up its headquarters in the nation’s largest city.
31. Last but not at all least, Ecocide. The climate catastrophe poses grave existential threats to livable ecology and all prospects for a decent human future. It is a national and global emergency of epic proportions. It is the single biggest issue of our or any time. If this environmental calamity is not averted soon, nothing else that progressives and decent citizens everywhere care about is going to matter all that much. The United Nations Panel on Climate Change has recently warned that we have a dozen years to keep global warming to a maximum of 1.5C, beyond which true cataclysm will fall upon hundreds of millions of people. Under the command of capital, we are currently on a pace to melt Antarctica by 2100. The unfolding climate disaster’s leading political and economic headquarters is the United State, home to a super-powerful fossil fuel industry with a vast, deeply funded lobbying and public relations apparatus dedicated to turning the planet into a giant Greenhouse Gas Chamber.
Towards a Green New Deal
If a vicious and moronic creeping fascist like Donald Trump can declare a fake national emergency over a non-existent crisis in order to build a political vanity wall rejected by Congress and 60 percent of the population, perhaps a future decent and democratic government sincerely committed to the common good could declare a national emergency to address the all-too real climate crisis by moving the nation off fossil fuels and on to renewable energy sources while advancing environmentally sustainable practices and standards across economy and society.  A properly crafted Green New Deal would also and necessarily address other and related national emergencies including the crises of financial oligarchy, bad jobs, inequality, poverty, plutocracy, racial inequality, mass incarceration, untruth, inadequate health care, fascism, poor schooling, mental illness, substance abuse, gun violence, militarism-imperialism, gender disparity, spiritual death, and much more.  I plan in a future essay to elaborate on what it is meant by a “properly crafted Green New Deal.”

I think the remake also supports the theory that T‘s date is the canon choice. T and C agree to go on a date but they never get to go, and even though it’s an optional scene, I’m sure this will come up again in the future. Also, A said that them spending time together while walking back to sector 5 counts as payment, so C’s already got the date with her. The dream, like A’s GS date, also already hinted at C not being himself, so there’s no real need to mention this again on a second date
I reckon Tifa's date offer and a choice of 3 dresses is a hint about what's to come tbh.
Wall market she wore one of the date dresses and Cloud had matching options, but Tifa's canon dress is her blue one and Cloud's seems more likely the plain grey, which means he doesn't match Tifa and it's not a date scene between them.
Disc 2 I reckon will be hints of the same at the GS. The devs had so many suggestions for dressing Tifa up I bet they'll take the chance to do it again, but like before it won't be a true date between her and Cloud cause he's not real Cloud yet.
Disc 3, which I think will be the last disc of the game, will have more outfits and this time Cloud will automatically match Tifa and it'll be their true date scene and take place in an extended, updated highwind scene ❤️
As for Aerith, yeah, she said on the way to her house she was paying Cloud, and in JP when she's at her house she doesn't say "know what I promised him?" to Elmyra, suggesting that she still owes him payment, she actually says something like "I gave him something good" (I can't remember off the top of my head, so I'm not 100% but she definitely says she paid him to Elmyra, so it's another twisted line from the asshat translation team).
Tifa's resolution has links before and after it happens, tying it to the main narrative.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Chapter 13 Andrea advises Cloud to never let it go again, and we know the person he was looking for is Tifa, not to mention she's right beside him.
Then we have them hugging.
Afterwards we have Tifa say to Leslie the meaning of the lily that we learn she looked up during her resolution. And the devs confirmed this scene is one where real Cloud emerges, which is part of his identity crisis.
As for Aerith's, there's no narrative thread before or after it, just vague allusions to let players know all three resolutions happen that night, even though we can only get one per playthrough. And what she says during her dream is more for the players than Cloud.

bitcoin prices have historically reacted to shifts in the banking sector. A recent report on September 8th reveals that JPMorgan, a leading financial institution, is poised for a major strike in digital finance. The bank is nearing the completion of a revolutionary blockchain-based deposit token, pending regulatory approval in the U.S. as per a Bloomberg News/articles/2023-09-07/jpmorgan-jpm-explores-blockchain-deposit-token-for-payment-settlement?sref=IIP4JEyu">report. Finally blockchain in Banking: A New Start!Having said that, JPMorgan’s new token, unlike stablecoins from non-banking entities, will be introduced by a depository institution. It will go opposite to JPM Coin, which is limited to transactions within JPMorgan. Hence, the new token allows transactions not only within JPMorgan but also with other banks, especially for settlements involving tokenized Securities.Following a successful pilot project with the Monetary Authority of Singapore last year, this breakthrough demonstrates substantial progress. The token, like JPM Coin, will enforce strict compliance, including thorough customer verification and anti-fraud measures. JPMorgan’s foray into blockchain-based deposit tokens is a significant milestone, not just for the bank, but for the wider financial industry. Subject to regulatory approval, this innovation stands to revolutionize cross-border transactions. Recently, Monica Long, Ripple’s President emphasized the importance of implementing blockchain in banking: “The past few years have been a tipping point for institutional DeFi, where even the largest banks are adopting this technology”.JP Morgan’s new system alongside the existing XRP payment system has raised questions. Some believe it may be impacted by regulatory issues, allowing the SEC to allow new crypto players while retaining Ripple.Crypto Market Response to the NewsThe banking sector crisis has always positively impacted most of the coins. Majorly it raises faith in crypto as people tend to shift focus on stable coins as alternative investments. The good News is that banks like JP Morgan enabling the blockchain doors will boost the Crypto Assets for good. bitcoin rose from $27,000 to over $28,000 on March 19 due to a Credit Suisse issue. !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s) if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function()n.callMethod? n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments); if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0'; n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0; t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)(window,document,'script', ' fbq('init', '887971145773722'); fbq('track', 'PageView');

The Intersection of Innovation (BACK PATCHES FOR VEST).<br>
Athleisure.<br>
" The most significant influence in athleisure this year is the twin increase of social media sites and the star way of living," claims Jeanene Edwards, vice president of marketing and also merchandising for Fruit of the Loom and also JERZEES Activewear. "Athleisure is currently a mainstream fashion statement, as customers desire cutting-edge style, variety as well as comfort with a touch of tech. Retro styling is massive in 2020.".<br>
JERZEES' Snow Heather collection use the retro trend. It includes T-shirts and also French terry sweats, and also features a distinct slub-textured fabrication, so it acts as an optimal base for vintage prints and BACK PATCHES FOR VEST.<br> motorcycle vest patches
Developer and also retail garments skew much more unisex this year. Using that, Fruit of the Loom's brand-new ICONIC tees' base heather construction is over-dyed with three tinted neutrals. The result: muted shades of genderless pastels in tones of mint, aqua and also pink/violet.<br>
Davis likewise sees sustainability techniques as well as environmentally friendly fabrics trending greatly in the athleisure room. Several of the greatest advancements center on sustainability as well as green apparel. This year, for example, Alternative will certainly convert to recycled polyester, giving up all virgin polyester. In addition, Hanes plans to make use of recovered cotton in numerous of its constructions in the coming year, along with transform all virgin polyester in its tri-blend tee to recycled polyester.<br>
On the decor side, Edwards forecasts strong message statements and retro typography with a 1990s impact will certainly remain to fad. "What's new is a kinder, gentler graphic style with positive inspirational expressions, fragile abstract illustrations and botanical/nature motifs," she claims.<br>
For the best possible print surface, Hanes presented Clean Canvas, a process the business makes use of on its nano-T and also Beefy-T T-shirts that cleans impurities and enables controlled pretreatment absorption.<br>
<br>
Technology.<br>
While e-commerce and also technology have actually been boons to the decorated-apparel sector, they likewise have been market disruptors. Cases in point: Companies like 4Imprint or CustomInk base their services almost totally on shopping transactions, creating competitors for decorators.<br>
" We see ecommerce in regards to displacement," claims JP Hunt, founder of InkSoft. "E-sales are here to stay, as well as the share of wallet and also volume will certainly continue to expand steadily over standard retail.".<br>
The trick? Tying an ecommerce platform right into a solid advertising strategy. "Decorators who have not taken on an electronic advertising and marketing focus aren't efficiently getting to customers," Hunt says. "If you're leveraging digital-marketing efforts, but can not close the loop with ecommerce, you aren't converting advertising and marketing efforts to income. The fact? The greatest economic lever offered to decorators is electronic advertising attached to ecommerce to bring in as well as convert buyers.".<br>
This year, it's additionally seriously vital for designers to have severe presence right into their production and also delivery procedures to send orders effectively as well as in a timely manner. "Print and also decoration shops need to take advantage of their business-management systems to offer exposure to warehouse staff right into the daily manufacturing schedule," states Adam Brister, supervisor of Impress and also FlexPack. "You additionally need to implement automation and also informing tools to simplify order conclusion as well as product packaging actions to satisfy consumer shipment dates.".<br>
As the share of orders gradually relocates online, your manufacturing organizing should line up with consumer expectations at the point of purchase. "Customers need to know when they'll obtain their products," Hunt says. "Creating this recognition when the transaction takes place develops the right expectations all over.".<br>
Partly, Brister says, many designers are developing their print-on-demand procedures. "With DTG abilities, you can publish as well as accomplish on the internet orders the same day," he claims. "Many services are including customized online developers to their very own sites to join this development opportunity and market trend.".<br>
For 2020, remember these two tech keyword phrases: automation as well as assimilation. "There are numerous systems that enter into play for a typical apparel-decoration business-- from blanks providers, to art design, to tools, to shopping, to delivery as well as even more," Brister claims. "Efficiently tying all these service systems together translates to considerable profit-- if you do it properly.".<br>
Impress's worldwide business source planning (ERP) software program has several assimilations to industry-specific solutions that satisfy designers' needs. "We've integrated our software application to significant providers, e-commerce systems and shipping solutions," Brister claims.<br>
InkSoft's sales platform enables designers to offer in cyberspace by means of easy-to-use on-line shops. On top of that, the business supplies online-design, production as well as business devices that allow printers handle the entire life cycle of a decorated-apparel order. "We also incorporated with promo-products vendor Polyconcept, so our customers can access as well as sell a broader variety of items via our on the internet stores," Hunt claims.<br>
In 2020, fads and modern technology have merged to give a bright lead-in to a brand-new decade of product and inscribing options.
