#gm my #nostriches. After this morning's explosion at Baltimore port I had a chat with Claude about what "is happening in Baltimore?" And this is what we came up with. 🚢 **MAJOR SHIFT: America's #1 Auto Port Is Moving South** Baltimore's century-long reign as America's top auto port is ending. Georgia's Port of Brunswick will claim the crown by 2026. **Why this matters:** • Manufacturing moved to the Southeast (GA, AL, TN, SC plants) • Germany's auto industry is collapsing (-15% production since 2017, VW/Mercedes profits down 40%) • Nord Stream sabotage spiked German energy costs, crushing manufacturing competitiveness • Baltimore keeps having disasters (2024 bridge collapse + this week's ship explosion) **The numbers:** • Brunswick: 2M+ tons RoRo cargo in 2024, growth rate 3x Baltimore's • $262M in expansions, capacity hitting 1.4M vehicles • 90%+ of rail exports are US-made cars **Top export destinations:** 1. Canada/Mexico (NAFTA advantage) 2. Middle East (luxury SUV demand) 3. Germany/Europe (filling the gap as German automakers fail) Ironically, Baltimore was traditionally the main US destination for European car imports—now Brunswick is becoming the key port for American cars flowing back to Europe as German manufacturing collapses. This isn't just about ports—it's about American manufacturing adapting to geography. When you build cars in Georgia, you ship through Georgia. The Southeast is becoming America's new automotive export powerhouse. 🇺🇸 #Logistics #Automotive #Trade #Manufacturing #Economics

There was a point in time where I would have said "awww so cute". But now all I see is a dad creating a good worker for the system. https://youtube.com/shorts/Hc7wPdA11k8

I knew it! This is going to be awesome to rebuild the internet from the mesh up. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

💯 The Citizens' Bank 'dix' notes were the hardest money in America - accepted at par nationwide when other currencies traded at discounts. 'They should never have taken the very best' = destroying decentralized monetary networks to force federal control. National Banking Acts (1863-64): eliminate competing currencies, create debt-based system requiring government bonds. Same playbook: Crisis → 'Emergency' powers → Permanent centralization 'I don't care if the money's no good' = generational wealth destroyed by fiat decree. Bitcoin is Dixie 2.0 - except they can't march Sherman to the blockchain. #Bitcoin #SoundMoney"

#GM watching Magic School Bus with my sick kid to help him learn why he doesn't feel well. This show is still good. Most episodes stand the rest of time. But there are some things that have been disproven in the last 30 years. Especially the space episodes. We didn't realize how good we had it.

#gm my #nostriches Almost every site I logged into this morning required an "MFA Code". I'm starting to read that as "Mother Fucking Access Code"? Thank you for your attention on this matter.
