Telegraph- Eight fire crews battle inferno at Hertfordshire bus depot
An electric bus caught fire on Sunday while it was charging at a depot, causing five other vehicles to become engulfed, as eyewitnesses described hearing an explosion “like a jet”.

el gato malo- comparing covid maps of the US
if vaccines stop covid spread, then why is all the covid spread in the highest vaxxed counties? and why are severe cases rising most in the most vaccinated?
i keep saying i am really hoping to be wrong about this, but the evidence is really piling up and it looks more and more inescapable to conclude that the covid vaccines have broken herd immunity formation both for spread and increasingly for severity. the CDC data on this is so definitionally rigged and slanted by using inaccurate denominators as to render it unfit to draw clinical conclusions from and the society level data is increasing revealing this.
and so we land here: right where nobody wanted to but that so many warned we would.
Judging by the what is unmentioned in this story, you would think that Morrison’s defeat in the Australian election had absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with implementing the second most draconian pandemic policies in the world.
Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison conceded defeat and the opposition Labor Party was set to end almost a decade of conservative rule after an election on Saturday.
It seems western provinces will have to sacrifice, so Dear Leader can implement his global warming scams.

New York Times- The War in Ukraine Is Getting Complicated, and America Isn’t Ready
Is the United States, for example, trying to help bring an end to this conflict, through a settlement that would allow for a sovereign Ukraine and some kind of relationship between the United States and Russia? Or is the United States now trying to weaken Russia permanently? Has the administration’s goal shifted to destabilizing Vladimir Putin or having him removed? Does the United States intend to hold Mr. Putin accountable as a war criminal? Or is the goal to try to avoid a wider war — and if so, how does crowing about providing U.S. intelligence to kill Russians and sink one of their ships achieve this?
Without clarity on these questions, the White House not only risks losing Americans’ interest in supporting Ukrainians — who continue to suffer the loss of lives and livelihoods — but also jeopardizes long-term peace and security on the European continent.
Moon Over Alabama- Ukraine SitRep – Russians Break Through U.S. Bolsterism
In total the social-economic situation for Ukraine is catastrophic. The military situation is even worse. Mariupol has fallen and Russian troops working there will soon be able to go elsewhere. The Propasna bulge is threatening to envelope the whole northern frontline together with the core of the Ukrainian army.
There is no more talk of the Ukrainian army ‘winning’ like in Kiev or Karkov where the Russian troops retreated in good order after finishing their task of holding Ukrainian forces in place.
The Ukrainian command has sent several territorial brigades to the front lines. These units were supposed to defend their home towns. They consist of middle age men drafted into service. They have little fighting experience and lack heavy weapons. Several of these units have published videos saying they were giving up. They are lamenting that their commanders left them when their situation became critical.
Zero criticism of incoming Ukrainians but doesn’t the ongoing treatment of Canadians bother vaxxed normies?!?
The Canada-Ukraine Authorization for Emergency Travel (CUAET) is available to Ukrainians who want to come to Canada temporarily. There will be no limit to the number of Ukrainians who can apply through this pathway and eliminates many of the normal visa requirements. All eligible Ukrainian nationals may be able to stay in Canada for up to 3 years so long as they meet the criteria of the CUAET.
IRCC is also waiving many fees for eligible travel and immigration documents, such as Canadian passports, permanent resident travel documents, proofs of citizenship, visitor visas, and work and study permits.
The Government of Canada is granting exemptions for unvaccinated and partially vaccinated Ukrainian nationals to enter Canada temporary resident permit or written notice of approval for an application for permanent residence in Canada.

It is true. I have refused 3 loads heading to California from 2 local manufacturers in Manitoba. Rates was good for the trip down but did not accommodate any mileage to get to a reload. Reload rates have increased but not sufficiently. According to driver gossip other companies have been turning down loads to Washington state Seattle area and western Oregon for the same reasons as well. As well as the current issues surrounding those states re driver safety.
Loads coming out of Alberta heading south are just insanely low. And reefer rates and general Van rates are all over the place. One of the owner operators turned down a load to Vancouver for the long weekend to be delivered downtown construction site. Rate was higher than it had been but too low because of the extra to drive to the reload by Edmonton. Said no. Dispatch shopped it around but no takers.
It isn’t just west coast. Saw one trip on a load board from southeast Georgia heading to Saskatoon for 3800 Canadian last week. It was gone in 10 minutes. Whoever accepted it had better have made a ton going down. Fuel availability is becoming an issue now as well. And the summer driving season hasn’t kicked into high gear yet.
This summer is going to be absolutely brutal in all fronts. I am in good shape financially with no debts and I think I will be closing down till fall. Good luck to all and be careful.
The discussion continues here.
From a friend in the ag supply industry; My truckers are refusing loads between Regina and Saskatoon. All these are fertilizer loads so yes, become self sufficient.

Under Operation Fly Formula, USDA and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) are authorized to use DOD-contracted commercial aircraft to pick up overseas infant formula that meets U.S. health and safety standards, so it can get to store shelves faster. In addition, President Biden has directed his Administration to take a number of other important actions to ensure there is enough safe infant formula for families, including invoking the Defense Production Act…

ZeroHedge- The Epidemic Nobody Talks About: Burnout
The epidemic kind of burnout isn’t temporary. Taking a weekend off doesn’t restore one’s ability to work. This kind of burnout is the collapse of one’s ability to go to work at all, a physical, emotional and psychological collapse.
Burnout isn’t just the result of overwork. It’s the collapse of the entire no limits, self-exploitation way of life.
People who haven’t burned out are at a loss to understand this collapse, as it’s so far outside their experience. Those who love their jobs and have boundless energy can’t understand those who have been running on empty for far too long and are now too exhausted to get out of bed.

It’s just that real needle exchange has never been tried.

The idea that a monetary system can be centrally planned has about the same chance of success as centrally planned automobile manufacturing or farming. But that doesn’t stop Keynesians from insisting that things would be better if the central planners would only adopt their particular tweak-of-the-week.
A central bank digital currency theoretically allows for micro-targeting — perhaps by sector, perhaps by region, perhaps by socio-economic class — with real-time feedback, and that could be invaluable the next time the economy needs stimulating.
Stimulating, in this case, meaning ushering in yet another round of capital destruction.
