The Business Plot was an alleged political conspiracy in 1933 in the United States. Retired Marine Corps Major General Smedley Butler claimed that wealthy businessmen were plotting to create a fascist veterans' organization with Butler as its leader and use it in a coup d'état to overthrow President Franklin D. Roosevelt. In 1934, Butler testified before the United States House of Representatives Special Committee on Un-American Activities (the "McCormack-Dickstein Committee") on these claims.[1] No one was prosecuted.

This came up in a discussion about the real impacts and outcomes of the depression VS the story of October 29, 1929. There was a great point that pretty much no one owned stock (less the 3%), but in 1931 over 2300 banks failed, then life changes. I'd never heard of this supposed coupe, and certainly General Smedley Butler sounded like a joke.

Seems like these should be more prevalent:

Just a plain old youtube based conspiracy driven lizard cult, and the untimely death link to excommunication. Some things you cannot make up.

Public tragedies, such as mass shootings or a spate of hurricanes, are dismissed as false-flag operations conducted by NATO, the Illuminati, or the Democratic Party—all tools of the Satanic reptilian order.

I am not as important as McCutchen. I won't get my MRI and CT scan results for a few days.
Actually thought it might be more. That process is longer than I thought. At least they played good music.

just another daily occurrence here in phx. well, maybe the excessive spinning might be a little out of the norm.

The tornado phenomenon has finally been solved.

i though they called those things barnacles

I think I just don't like sports anymore.

I once was pretty coordinated. Now I am gimping around like a 90 year old in a walking boot with a walking stick. The crutches are a danger to myself and everyone around me. Good times.

i'd hang out at the senior center and ask around about the lil rascal scooters. not only would they give you a better recommendation than i can, they probably know where you can find one pretty cheap, cause they probably know someone who won't be using their's ever again.

A good friend's mother is dying of cancer, like just a few weeks left at most. She's an only child and her father is also ill, so she's having to take care of everything. One of which is terminating the lease on the mother's Hnda. She just got back from the dealer who was seriouslsy explaining how this would ruin the mother's credit rating. I'm afraid she used some bad language.

It's a shame she couldn't go through the bank with the lease. My wife had to do the same thing when her dad died and the bank cancelled the loan after seeing the death certificate and sent a trailer to pick up the car

I presume the process will be more clear cut when the mother is actually dead, but this started back over the last couple months when her mom became too incapacitated to drive, but was nowhere near in the state she is in now, when the hope was to cut out some expenses as medical bu ills and longterm care expenses piled up.

Learned from the best.

I have one of those Corkcicle canteens that keep your drink a proper temperature for a longass time. However I've realized recently there's an annoying drawback. Sometimes I've forgotten to fill up the Brita and it leads to me having just cool-ish tap water as I'm filling up the canteen in the morning. Putting it in the fridge, even for a few hours, does nothing. I guess it has something to do with the insulation? I can have it in for a few hours but it'll be the same temperature as it was when I first poured it in.
