ant voter ID? Like how do you possibly process that other than fraud and wanting to promote fraud? Because there's no normal Democrat who believes that black Americans can't get an ID. We've literally never found even one. So do they just sort of say to themselves, well as long as it's defeating the Nazis, it's okay. And then how normal would you be if you thought you were fighting Nazis? It would…

ng coming back to America, you're going to need lots of people who can just do practical things and they don't need to read Shakespeare to do it. So I'm glad the government sort of understands the reality of the world that way.

However, it's even better. Google apparently has launched an ambitious program, this is according to Clean Technica, to train 100,000 electrical workers for the AI-powered future. So I assume that means 100,000 electrical workers to help them set up more and more data centers. And they're also going to train people, they're looking to train a whole bunch of people in AI. So not using AI to train them but also training them in AI. So Google is getting really aggressive in training people that they're going to use in their own workforce which again requires no college. It just requires the right directed high quality training and it aims to equip up to a million Americans with AI skills separately from the electrical stuff. So good for Google. So of course they're doing it for their own company reasons. They need this kind of workers and they need a lot of them and they're going to train them.

And then the third thing, these are all related things, but they strongly suggest a theme or a pattern that's going in the right direction. So the Post Millennial is talking about this. Apparently US companies are looking to recruit workers in high school, you know almost like a sports team is trying to recruit from college usually. And the reason is that if they wait they won't get enough employees. So between the demographic problem where there are not enough young people being born and now it probably be exacerbated by the reduction in immigration, apparently high schoolers who are 16 and 17 years old are being directly contacted by major corporations in their area to see if they can get them interested in working in their company as soon as they graduate. And some of these jobs pay over $50,000 right out of high school. I think it could be as high as 70,000 per year for trade jobs. And so imagine being 17 years old and maybe you're not heading for college and you've got these companies trying to recruit you and they're offering you a good starting salary. You still have to live at home on that salary I think, but that's pretty impressive. So that's a good adjustment.

So I guess in at least three different ways, the government, Google, and all these smaller manufacturing companies. And imagine how much of that they're going to need when manufacturing is really pulling back into America. What this suggests to me is that America is doing its America thing, which is it's reading the future and making the adjustments it needs to make. And this is exactly the adjustment that we need to make. And you're seeing it in three different domains, which suggests it's now a universal, understood, accepted thing that we just got to figure out how to get non-college students into the jobs that make sense for the business as well as the student.

Apparently the US is doing more spying on Greenland as part of our effort to take over their country. And I think it's hilarious that it's not really secret. So apparently the US says Trump has ordered that the spy networks start gathering more information about Greenland. Specifically they're looking to find out who in Greenland might be in favor of joining up with America and which ones are not. Now you might say and they would use their various spy apparatus for doing that which would be electronic stuff that we intercept and maybe we have some people on the ground asking questions but we wouldn't talk about that. So it's kind of hilarious that we just say out loud, "All right Greenland, we're going to be doing a little spying as step one to taking over your country." And that's what we're doing. Now this would be step one of a color revolution, wouldn't it? Now the color revolution has the usual steps. It's the thing we do to other countries where the first thing we do is figure out who would be on our side, who we could work with and then we fund them or help them become heads of organizations and have a louder voice in their own country. And then maybe we pay for some protests on the streets to make it look like the public really wants this. It's a popular uprising. And th

en we might see if we can control the media. So if you turned on the television in Greenland it would say people really want independence, meaning joining America. People really want this. And so then the public would start to think that there's this gigantic natural organic movement toward whatever the thing is, but it's really just driven by us. Now I don't know how far we would go in this so-c…
