🇺🇸🪖 Pentagon Pizza Index spikes again — US military gearing up

Reports indicate the US Department of Defense is preparing for something, as the “Pizza Index” around the Pentagon jumps sharply.

Meanwhile: ▫️Royal Air Force is reportedly deploying a full fighter squadron to the Middle East. ▫️Tel Aviv denies landing clearance for four planes carrying hundreds of passengers.

@wd_5x5 @Sovereign @Koropokkur I like it but I want to say that it's not paradise. I'm still paying off my mandatory nenkin contributions which stacked up while I was moving. It's sad seeing a major part of my paycheck hoovered up by that because the money's just gone. I doubt I'll ever be able to draw on that when (if) I ever retire. I could have invested that money and/or bought bitcoin/gold/silver or I could have used the money to help my family. It's a tremendous waste.

@Sovereign @Koropokkur @wd_5x5 That is true.

There's an old Greek myth of Cronus the Titan, who devoured his own children ( Hestia, Demeter, Hera, Hades, and Poseidon) out of paranoia and fear of losing his position. When I reflect on that and look at modern Boomer behavior, I conclude there's a lot of wisdom to be discovered in mythology and old wives' tales.*

* one of Cronus' kids, Zeus, avoided being devoured and eventually defeated him, sending the Titan to Tartarus (their version of heck). Not quite the Day of the Pillow but it is still a decisive victory, and a fitting reward for anyone who'd hurt the young out of greed and spite.
