That's better, 3 years for a flat screen to go dead is unusually short, especially for a popular brand like Samsung. Glad to hear you got that solved.I fixed my television. Had to do a few soft resets with the plug to get a picture, then I went into settings and did a full reset.50" Samsung OLED from BJ's View attachment 19022659
Well that was interesting - the pacemaker technician/doctor told me that my pacemaker is only needed 3% of the time - to control my heart action - but she said that I still needed it - and have to take blood thinning meds - or my blood might pool in a heart chamber - then clot - and that could lead to a stroke -
From what I heard his living quarters was pretty nice for someone in his situation. Of course I say that while having no idea what life in Ecuador is like.
He wasn't in Ecuador HempKat - he was in the Ecuadorian embassy in London - for a number of years - 'cos he asked for political asylum - before they stuck him in Belmarsh maximum security prison for a few more years - while the USA authorities were trying to extradite him to the USA -
- When the USA tried to extradite me - and the trial was going on - I just got an ankle tag and curfew for a few months - but at least they didn't lock me up here in the UK -

Taz would have been a suitable name for Zig. He is a total spaz and chaos is his MO.

Talkin' a tad of business here that directly concerns you <-- Yeah, you reading this.
I'llnet nut it out with a coupla headlines:
The FDIC just woke up and put the four largest banks in the country on notice (JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup’s Citibank, Bank of America and Goldman Sachs) that they flunked liquidity testing and they are all facing bankrupture.
Whazzat gotta wit youse? How about the 2008 debacle... this is worse. How much worse? How about:
1. Those four named banks are short $168,000,000,000,000 TRILLION
2. Looking at Goldman Sachs alone, that group of assholes has managed to put their company's entire worth out there (eg: debt) to the tune of 461 TIMES THE WORTH OF THEIR ENTIRE COMPANY!!
To make it plain: Let's say you make $100K a year. Not bad.
But you have managed to spend forty-six million, one hundred thousand dollars.
You: $100,000 vs You Owe: $46,100,000
Think you might have a problem?
The cascade/crash will most ricky-tick affect you personally. Job, house mortgage, car payment, food prices, etc. all ready to depart the norm you are used to.
If this has gotten your attention, may I point out your window is not yet closed. You can stilll transfer all your fiat** into gold and silver now. Like... today.
** No problem with keeping just enough in the bank for common bills, etc. <-- Convenience "money".
You will NOT be able to change checks, money orders, cashiers checks, dollar bills or monopoly money for anything at all when the water breaks. It will most likely happen on a weekend. You will NOT be able to get your savings account money** in hand from the bank.
** They have loaned out your savings account money 461 times, get it? EEK!
I'll

They will be deemed ‘too big to fail’ just like what happened last time the banking Ponzi scheme came to light. The lobbying money was basically insurance for this rainy day. No citizen anywhere in the world would support another bailout but that matters not to the people the Ponzi-istas put in charge of govt’s worldwide.
You gotta check out the whole story and link. The TBTF scenario will not work. The US dollar is too hollow. It will be instant dollar dump.
You are still thinking normalcy. 1980 was their last (slim) chance, and they ignored it. The US dollar is no longer the Petrodollar.
Thinking the "too big to fail" scenario can simply be replicated is about the same thinking as being on the Titanic after it hit the berg but the lights are all on, and there is brandy and comfy chairs available in the grand ballroom for some unforseeable hours.
It has an end that is inevitable. I just do not know how long it takes for the bow to go under. This time, it is not the brandy bar that gets temporarily closed, but the whole fucking ship goes down a mile and crashes in total destruction on the sea floor.
That is the real parallel. Gummint cannot fix it. The Titanic Gummint has no money** either.
** Money that will be accepted for debt or purchase.
Now get offa yer arse and change what "savings" paper you have into real money.

I have no rose colored glasses on this. The Ponzi-istas will keep the grift going for as long as they can and use the only tool in their set of butcher knives to ‘fix’ the looming crash - ie. Print more Monopoly money to bail out their buddies making tens of millions per year to drive their institutions into the dirt. Rinse, repeat. The trillions the banks are upside down on are not just a United States problem. It is a worldwide problem. Everyone loses. Well, everyone except the uber elites. This is likely part of the plan. Bailouts transfer not just fiat assets but all assets en masse from the rest of us to Rockefeller/Rothschild/Soros types. Their pile of assets will grow as ours dwindle. Gotta keep the illusion going for as long as possible to squeeze every drop of blood from the herd. Once there is no more blood, there is no need for the herd.

Those numbers have 6 more zeros to the right but I understand a ratio is a ratio. Also, ‘assets’ more than likely are things like stocks(worthless pieces of paper if/when currency becomes worthless), real estate(value expressed in currency which, again will be worthless), cash(again…), etc. Real estate/buildings/ infrastructure will have some value as will precious metals but nothing like what food, water and weapons will to the herd. Can’t eat or drink precious metals.

I have some precious metals(including brass and lead)but I can’t eat that. I do have grape vines though.
You're correct, OF8 -- That's why I put their quoted "K" and "M" in parentheses. They were talking in thousands of millions.
