    New Normal or No Normal? How Economists Got It Wrong for 3 Years.
    https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/24/business/economy/economy-interest-rates-inflation.html
    Economists first underestimated inflation, then underestimated consumers and the labor market. The key question is why. (It’s because you’re treating economics as a hard science when it’s really just vibes)

    Joe Biden Has Already Lost
    https://www.okdoomer.io/joe-biden-has-already-lost/
    Democrats routinely remind us there's no limit to the amount of money they'll spend building up our military and those of our allies. There's no limit to what they'll do for corporations for the sake of the economy. There's no limit to the compromises they'll make with our oppressors. There's only a limit to how much they'll do for us. There's a limit to how much they'll spend on our needs. There's a limit to how hard they'll fight.

    Navy to replace Chinese servants for security reasons
    https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/navy-to-replace-chinese-servants-for-security-reasons-s6z2xdz7v
    The Royal Navy is ending its century-old tradition of having Chinese servants on warships amid fears that they could be forced to spy for Beijing. Hundreds of Chinese laundrymen have worked on Britain’s warships since the 1930s, with most hired from Hong Kong to wash and press sailor’s uniforms and officers’ white tablecloths. Nepalese Gurkhas will replace them due to fears that Beijing could threaten the servants’ families in China to make those on board ships pass on Royal Navy secrets, The Sun has reported.

    Masked Counter-Protester Arrested After Stopping, Shooting At ‘Free Palestine Rally and March’ in Eugene
    https://doublesidedmedia.com/2023/10/21/photos-masked-counter-protester-arrested-after-stopping-shooting-at-free-palestine-rally-and-march/
    A half hour into the march, as the crowd walked south on Pearl Ave, a white GMC Sierra 2500 pickup truck sporting multiple right-wing flags—including the Gadsden—suddenly pulled into the intersection of E. 8th Ave. and Pearl St., blocking the march. As the march approached, a tire was a reportedly slashed, and the driver, wearing a Guy Fawkes-type mask, pulled a handgun as he exited the truck. He quickly turned to the rear and began firing several shots that sounded like compressed-air.

    Human Consciousness Could Be a Side Effect of Entropy, Study Suggests
    https://www.sciencealert.com/human-consciousness-could-be-a-side-effect-of-entropy-study-suggests
    Specifically, they were looking at synchronisation of neurons - whether neurons were oscillating in phase with each other - to figure out whether brain cells were linked or not. They looked at two datasets: first they compared the connectivity patterns when participants were asleep and awake; and then they looked at the difference when five of the epileptic patients were having seizures, and when their brains were in a normal, 'alert' state. In both situations, they saw the same trend - the participants' brains displayed higher entropy when in a fully conscious state.

    Man arrested for faking heart attack 20 times at restaurants to avoid paying bill, reports say
    https://www.ktvu.com/news/man-arrested-for-faking-heart-attack-at-over-20-restaurants-to-avoid-paying-bill-reports-say?taid=6531366d8c21ce0001673749&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=twitter
    ALICANTE, Spain - A 50-year-old man from Lithuania was recently arrested in Spain after allegedly faking heart attacks at several restaurants in order to avoid paying the bill, according to multiple local news reports. The man, who was identified only as Aidas J. but has become known locally as the "gastrojeta," has tried the scam at least 20 times over the past year at different restaurants near Alicante, according to the Spanish newspaper El País and Spain's EFE news agency. Most recently, the man ordered a seafood paella and two whiskeys at the El Buen Comer restaurant-tapería in late September and had a bill of 34.85 euros (about $36.80 USD), the newspapers reported. The man attempted to leave without paying, but restaurant staff stopped him and noted how he still needed to pay the bill, according to EFE, citing El Buen Comer manager Moisés Doménech. The scammer became visibly upset and said he was going to get the money from his hotel room, EFE reported. When staff refused to let him leave without paying, the man dramatically threw himself on the ground and pretended to have a heart attack, according to the news outlet. Not fooled, the staff called the police instead of an ambulance, and the man was recognized by local authorities, according to EFE. The restaurateurs said the man doesn't speak Spanish well, although he does seem to understand it, El País reported. The man’s image had reportedly been shared among many area restaurants to try and stop him from striking again, according to the local news outlets. The Alicante National Police did not immediately respond to a request for comment. But a spokesperson told Insider that the man was, indeed, a repeat offender. "He was arrested multiple times in the city of Alicante. The modus operandi was the same," the spokesperson told Insider. The man refused to provide an address to authorities and was taken into custody, and the case was handed over to the local judiciary, Insider reported. The police spokesperson added that they were aware of the man being sent to prison, though they didn't know how long for, or if he was now free, according to Insider.
