If not offered in colors, I predict female customers shall stay away from this product in droves.

The link to the article follows below, to verify; it was very kindly & generously sent by a reader, who possibly knew it would set off The Committee. It pulled my trigger, so I pushed their buttons. The Q&A follows the article.

I would not have thought of marketplace disruption the way TC describes it, all the way up to murder just to preserve profits.

We see new products all the time and assume nothing impedes their progress other than lack of investment or bad management. Sure, I've heard of murder and/or blocking inventions before, but it always seemed fairly rare.

This article and tc's commentary make a lot of sense. On a slightly different note I was reading a few weeks ago how Norway did a study that concluded white paint is racist. Geez talk about snowflakes that will say or do anything just to get attention.

@Scott2

Everything under the sun is "racist" now. 🙃

@lorri lol don't worry eventually even the sun will be considered racist somehow.

I looked up information about the study. The claim is that Norway's development of white titanium dioxide pigmented paint led to attitudes about the purity of white surfaces that in turn contributed to historical racism.

@ Steve: We're going to start a new political movement, WPM. We'll march in protest towards, then splash our paint all over every red, brown, brick, blue and yellow house we see. Green houses, too, 'cause white is right. ✊
==================
Seriously, reading things like this makes can make a person think stupidity is communicable....which IT IS.

I don't know how someone makes the giant intellectual leap that because white surfaces were historically promoted as more pure (because you can see dirt on them better) translates into attitudes about skin color. Humans are not inanimate utilitarian surfaces.

I can't see most men buying it either. They want color on their homes over a white paint that brings down the temp. We need to reach a point where practicality reigns over aesthetics. That will probably come after the Shift is well under way. After this shift in human consciousness starts to take hold. In the meantime you can reach that 20 degree mark by growing grass around your home, too.

As someone who lives in Phoenix Arizona, and whose husband prefers white vehicles this new paint for our house would be great. Of course because most homeowners in Phoenix live in a HOA (Homeowners Association) which decides what color(s) houses can be painted so it isn’t always up to individual homeowners, unfortunately.

If someone of you happens to have a travel to Italy, you will see that the most common color of our southern Towns is indeed... White.
The property of sun reflecting pigments are well understoood in sicily, Puglia, Calabria, Basilicata and Campania, where the buildings are made of a particular very clear Rock, called Tufo. In Puglia, in particular, there is the so called "Pietra Leccese" which is almost white, and it constitutes the large part of historical buildings.

Just have a look to some pictures of Lecce, Otranto, and the like.

Have a nice day

Yeah, those parts of Italy are beautiful. Greece is pretty in that way also. Problem is, the rest of the world doesn't look like that. There is also an elastomeric paint a lot of people use on their roofs that also brings down the temps pretty good and a lot of people use that in desert areas of California. Used on most mobile homes here

If any of this website’s readers had money in SVB (Silicon Vally Bank) and took The Committee’s advice, they would have had cash-on-hand. Turns out it’s good advice👍

I remember reading that Edgar Cayce said in a trance state, that as an individual's soul evolves in incarnations the corresponding skin color will become whiter and whiter over lifetimes.

Then there was a Buddhist sage who said that the future skin color is orange as and when all the current skin colors will mix.

'Whatever will be, will be'

Not everything under the sun is racist, but the idea that souls come back in whiter and whiter skin colors as they evolve, is one of the most racist thing I've ever read.

@Lorri:
I have read a lot of metaphysical/spiritual books and sources. My observation is that many of those seem to have racist connotations. The older, the more. Perhaps our standards have changed in time.

Nowadays it seems to be fashionable to state that as a person evolves, i.e. the person's soul, s/he develops a 'light' body. What is the color of light? The English language is curious in the sense that the word light refers to weight/mass as well as to light...

@TV

I thought the "light body" was another word for the soul.

TV

Many sources refer to developing the light body in this physical life, this incarnation. But yes, we certainly will have a light body after passing away, and here I am meaning light as opposed to mass.

@Scott2:
I am not telling you anything other than repeating what I have read. Those are not my opinions. Incidentally, that Buddhist sage was also an extremely widely read author with millions and millions of books sold.

Top wokists like Prince Harry and Oprah going broke because their money was mismanaged (SVB) by a diversity hire qualifies as proof of God.

"Finally, the Federal Reserve Board on Sunday announced it will make available additional funding to eligible depository institutions to help assure banks have the ability to meet the needs of all their depositors.

The conclusion:

The U.S. banking system remains resilient and on a solid foundation, in large part due to reforms that were made after the financial crisis that ensured better safeguards for the banking industry.
Those reforms combined with today’s actions demonstrate our commitment to take the necessary steps to ensure that depositors’ savings remain safe.

Translation: the Fed's hiking cycle is dead and buried, and here comes the next round of massive liquidity injections.
It also means that the Fed,
Treasury and FDIC have just experienced the most devastating humiliation in recent history - just 4 days ago Powell was telling Congress he could hike 50bps and here we are now using taxpayer funds to bail out banks
that have collapsed because they couldn't even handle 4.75% and somehow the Fed has no idea!
As we said earlier on twitter, "this is a regulatory failure of historic proportions by both the Fed and Treasury.
Instead of preventing billions in losses, the Fed was worrying about board diversity and Yellen was flying to Ukraine. Everyone should be sacked immediately."

My dad was ”dead” for a while because of drug abuse and a heart condition. He says that he went very fast towards something out of his control, like light at the end of a tunnel, and he could not go any other way but that, like it forced him. But it was a ”bad place”. He believes he went to hell but kinda escaped it because he came back to life after medical intervention. I really believe that we make our own “hell” but that’s not really accepted in my family, my family is muslim and i feel like there are a lot of good “metaphors” but i’m just so tired of people not seeing the actual meaning.
