Anduril Founder Palmer Luckey on the Decline of U.S. Manufacturing:
“I’m gonna sound like a conspiracy theorist. It wasn’t an accident or a failure, it was a decision by the elites.”
Palmer Luckey explained how the U.S. intentionally shifted away from manufacturing to a “higher value” service economy.
A decision that he says has handed immense power to #China and now threatens the current geopolitical order.
Despite all his talk, this is a trend that Donald #Trump is continuing. #1u

When Jumaa and Fadi Abu Assi went to look for firewood their parents thought they would be safe. They were just young boys, aged nine and 10 and, after all, a ceasefire had been declared in Gaza.
Their mother, Hala Abu Assi, was making tea in the family’s tent in Khan Younis when she heard an explosion, a missile fired by an Israeli drone. She ran to the scene – but it was too late.
Since the US-brokered ceasefire was announced on 10 October, Israeli forces have killed more than 360 Palestinians in Gaza; according to a UN official, at least 70 are children – like Jumaa and Fadi.
They were killed, their mother said, at “a time when bloodshed was supposed to stop”.
The term ceasefire ‘risks creating a dangerous illusion life is returning to normal’ for Palestinians squeezed into the remaining 42% of their land behind Israel’s ‘yellow line’Seham Tantesh (The Guardian)

TODAS LAS DEMOCRACIAS EN CRISIS, ¿POR QUÉ ?
Era inimaginable que una buena parte de la población llegase a pensar que un régimen autoritario puede funcionar mejor que uno basado en las libertades y los DDHH. A los demócratas convencidos les puede parecer todo esto un proceso de involución, pero tal vez haya una explicación que nos pueda tranquilizar, tal vez a las democracias actuales les falta algo que han de desarrollar....

Two U.S. F-18 fighter jets flying in tandem entered Venezuelan airspace around noon Tuesday, circling over the Gulf of Venezuela in the latest show of force against the regime of Nicolás Maduro.
The flyover — carried out despite the Venezuelan regime’s possession of a number of Russian-made anti-aircraft batteries — took place less than 100 miles northeast of Maracaibo, Venezuela’s second-largest city. Thousands of Venezuelans tracked the aircraft online through specialized tracking websites, watching as the jets traced a bow-tie-shaped pattern over the gulf.
The fighters remained inside Venezuelan airspace for at least 40 minutes at an altitude of roughly 25,000 feet before heading north and leaving the area.

I thought the alligator scale ones would look more like… scales. I think I need to try a different technique.
But I’m a fan of the ribbing on the purple one.
Can’t stop won’t stop.
This one looks like a damn pot. The custom stitch I used, I think, would work better if it were a solid color.
I also think it needs a nice, thick, non-crochet draw string.
