Multiple U.S. government websites went down during Bidet's speech.



Websites for the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Immigration
and Customs Enforcement and the Secret Service displayed technical difficulty screens for 20 minutes on Thursday
night.

The cause for the outages is unknown...

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The percentage of U.S. adults who report having been diagnosed with depression at some point in their lifetime has reached 29.0%, nearly 10 percentage points higher than in 2015. The percentage of Americans who currently have or are being treated for depression has also increased, to 17.8%, up about seven points over the same period. Both rates are the highest recorded by Gallup since it began measuring depression using the current form of data collection in 2015.

Over one-third of women (36.7%) now report having been diagnosed with depression at some point in their lifetime, compared with 20.4% of men, and their rate has risen at nearly twice the rate of men since 2017. Those aged 18 to 29 (34.3%) and 30 to 44 (34.9%) have significantly greater depression diagnosis rates in their lifetime than those older than 44...


https://news.gallup.com/poll/505745/dep ... highs.aspx




I am not saying depression is not a real thing, but I mean... real depression is a real thing.

Being soft, and not wanting to face up to life, is not depression.

There are other words for that.

Yes, we know Joe, you mumbling, stumbling fool.

You've been through Baltimore many times.

Presumably on Amtrak, on your way to DC from Delaware, which is close to Scranton...

Jesus he can't give one speech or presser without inserting himself or his family into a tragedy.

Biden says government will pay for the 'entire cost' of bridge repairs
"The federal government will pay for the entire cost of that bridge," Biden says, but adds that it would require members of congress to approve the spending.

A reporter asks the president if the company that owned the cargo ship that caused the accident should be held responsible for the repair costs.

Biden says: "That could be, but we are not going to wait for that to happen".

The ship captain sent a Mayday call, and this is the Maryland Transportation Authority Police Dispatch and Response conversation.
Included in this 1:51 conversation is the moment the bridge collapsed.

This bridge, apparently, was a disaster waiting to happen. Built in a busy shipping lane with almost no protection for the piers and relatively spindly legs. This would never happen on the West Coast. The ship ran into and collapsed one of those legs and the rest went down like dominoes.

The Golden Gate Bridge has a huge fender surrounding the south tower. No ship could ever get close enough to damage the tower. Those concrete walls are 27 feet thick and 40 feet deep.

The Coronado Bridge in San Diego has thicker concrete columns and also massive fenders.

Dali cargo ship suffered 'severe electrical problem' while docked in Baltimore days prior to bridge collapse crash that saw it suffer 'total power failure, loss of engine failure', port worker says

Julie Mitchell, co-administrator of Container Royalty, told CNN the ship was anchored at the port for at least 48 hours prior to the deadly crash and

Mitchell explained that refrigerated boxes tripped breakers on board the ship on several occasions, and mechanics had been trying to fix the issue.

Following the devastation, she said: 'And those two days, they were having serious power outages… they had a severe electrical problem. It was total power failure, loss of engine power, everything.'

Bank of America says imminent fiscal crisis looming, experts warn

Image

Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan and Joao Gomes, vice dean of Wharton, warn of an impending fiscal crisis due to escalating US national debt. They call for prioritizing debt payment, tightening fiscal policies, and a fundamental change in government budget management.

The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) predicts public debt could reach 166% of the GDP by 2054, growing to an estimated $141.1 trillion from the current $34 trillion. Factors contributing to this projection include unsustainable economic policies, increasing mandatory spending, and the retirement of the baby-boom generation which puts added pressure on Social Security and Medicare...

Can’t be true. I remember one of the board economic experts saying that the debt is tied to future benefits and stuff. So this is probably positive news.
