HUNTER S. THOMPSON, KEN KESEY AND HEAVY STRESS OUTSIDE THE HILTON
There was a refurbished 1947 International Harvester school bus parked outside the Hilton on a rainy February night in Eugene, Oregon. When I walked up the few steps and entered the heavily decorated vehicle, Ken Kesey was kneeling behind the driver’s seat messing with the stereo, trying to figure out why the Ray Charles at Newport CD had stopped. At the other end of the bus, Hunter S. Thompson was involved in a game of cards at a small round table, but he was looking in our direction with some concern.
Earlier, Thompson had given one of his notorious “talks” inside the Hilton ballroom. He was typically late, so Kesey and fellow “Merry Prankster” Ken Babbs (both of whom lived nearby) burned time telling stories while everyone waited.
When Thompson finally arrived, it was lunacy: He made sardonic comments about the end of the Gulf War, took questions, mumbled humorous responses, occasionally blasted a goose call into the mic and at least twice pointed some kind of laser pointer into the sold-out room. It was an almost perfect show.
Dear Madame Zoltar
Madame Zoltar again failed to submit a blog this week. I don't know what's going on. I published this because of Tender Heart Bear's comment about Madame Z's blog.
Four for Fridays!
Good morning everyone I hope you made it through the week alright. I know it has been a nasty week with the bad S word that came down and it is way to early for it too.
I hope Madame Z is alright because I was looking for her post and there is nothing up from her. Here are your questions.
1) Do you feel like when one thing breaks in your house another thing breaks?
2) But when you get that one fixed something else breaks?
3) Does it feel like it happens all week long to you?
4) Does it feel like it will never end for you?
Have a great week!

Ahead of 2020, manufacturers are struggling in Rust Belt regions that helped Trump win last time
BETHEL PARK, Pa. – At Ameri-Source Metals’ machine shop outside Pittsburgh, stacks of graphite stubs have begun to pile up in a quiet corner.
Founder Ajay Goel said the customer who typically buys the stubs – a multinational chemicals company – now only needs one-fourth of the amount he used to produce. As a result, the machines have been idled and the workers who serviced them, laid off.
Goel has lived through many economic cycles before. In 1995, he founded the business, which cuts graphite and steel into bespoke shapes for industrial, chemical and defense companies, after being laid off from U.S. Steel. And with orders slowing – and an additional $3 million in tariff costs – he’s borrowing from a playbook he refined in leaner times.
“I think the first place will be where we make sure we really cut down on costs,” Goel told CNBC. “That particular cost-cutting started almost like six to eight months back.”
Goel says the company is also trying to deepen its customer relationships and pressing the pause button on certain areas of expansion. “We would like to replace machines faster, which we are not doing.”
Heading into 2020, stories like these could amount to big trouble for President Donald Trump’s reelection chances. Ameri-Source sits at the edge of deep-blue Allegheny County, but most employees commute from surrounding counties that backed Trump in 2016. It’s a familiar position for companies across the Rust Belt, the corridor of heavy industry whose blue-collar workers supported Trump’s manufacturing-friendly message and were critical to his swing state wins.

In historic shift, The Salt Lake Tribune gets IRS approval to become a nonprofit

The Salt Lake Tribune is now a nonprofit, an unprecedented transformation for a legacy U.S. daily that is intended to bolster its financial prospects during a troubling time for journalism nationwide.
The IRS approved the shift in a letter dated Oct. 29, deeming The Tribune a 501(c)(3) public charity. That means supporters can start making tax deductible donations now.
The move from a for-profit model was spurred by Tribune owner Paul Huntsman, who, in agreeing to turn Utah’s largest paper into a nonprofit, is giving up his sole ownership.
“The current business model for local newspapers is broken and beyond repair,” said Huntsman, who also serves as The Tribune’s publisher. “We needed to find a way to sustain this vital community institution well beyond my ownership, and nonprofit status will help us do that. This is truly excellent news for all Utah residents and for local news organizations across the country.”
The Tribune, a Pulitzer Prize-winning newspaper, will seek donations large and small, coupling them with revenue from advertising and subscriptions and a separate foundation. The Utah Journalism Foundation is creating an endowment to fund independent journalism in Utah, with The Tribune being a big beneficiary.
Those in the journalism industry have kept a close eye on The Tribune’s efforts, seeing it as a potential path forward for other struggling news outlets.
"This is an important decision that recognizes local news as a public good, something that strengthens the community," said Alberto Ibargüen, president of the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, a nationwide leader in journalism philanthropy. "The model pioneered by The Salt Lake Tribune gives community leaders another way to build a sustainable future for local news, so citizens can get the trusted information they need to engage constructively in our democracy."

SHOCKING and UNACCEPTABLE
From Racine Uncensored:
SHOCKING and UNACCEPTABLE
Did you know that any harm resulting from 5G technology is NOT covered by insurance? It's true! This is even admitted by AT&T and Verizon, but you won't hear anyone from the City of Racine or Verizon admit this publicly.
EMFs are classified as a “POLLUTANT" by insurers alongside smoke, chemicals and asbestos. Due to the risk that electromagnetic (EMF) field exposure poses, most insurance companies do not cover electromagnetic fields and have very clear "electromagnetic field exclusions."
For example, AT&T Does NOT Cover Damage Caused by Pollutants, which includes Electromagnetic Fields. "Exclusions:
1. Loss caused by or resulting from the discharge, dispersal, seepage, migration, release pollution
2. “Pollutants” means: Any solid, liquid, gaseous, or thermal irritant or contaminant including smoke, vapor, soot, fumes, acid, alkalis, chemicals, artificially produced electric fields, magnetic field, electromagnetic field, sound waves, microwaves, and all artificially produced ionizing or non- ionizing radiation and waste. Waste includes materials to be recycled, reconditioned or reclaimed.”

Even Verizon, who is on the front lines in manipulating Racine into accepting this questionable technology, will also NOT cover any negative human impacts associated with their massive 5G rollout. During the January 17, 2018 Smart Cities Interational Symposium & Exhibition, Racine Mayor Mason rubbed elbows with elected officials and business members, including Mrinalini (Lani) Ingram, Vice President, Smart Communities
at Verizon. The coziness ("partnership") between government and BIG business over your well-being, perfectly illustrated. So force your mostly untested technology on us and leave us stuck with the consequences and with no recourse?

From JSOnline:
Green Bay Packers outside linebacker Za'Darius Smith could find himself playing a different kind of defense next week at the Racine County Courthouse, where he's scheduled for a hearing on tickets for speeding and possessing marijuana or synthetic marijuana.
The citations — which are not criminal charges — stem from a Sept. 29 traffic stop while Smith, 27, and teammates Rashan Gary and Kingsley Keke were returning to Green Bay from a trip to Chicago that landed them all briefly in handcuffs.
Smith, acquired in free agency from the Baltimore Ravens, has eight sacks this year. Gary, a 21-year-old linebacker, was a first-round pick from Michigan. Keke, 23, a defensive lineman, was drafted in the fifth round after playing at Texas A&M.
“The Packers are aware of the matter involving Za’Darius Smith," a team spokesperson said Friday. "We will refrain from making any further comment as it is a legal matter.”
Smith's agent did not return a text message.
According to reports from the Racine County Sheriff's Office, Smith was driving a gray 2019 GMC Yukon northbound on Interstate 94 about 5:30 p.m. when deputies clocked him going 81 mph in a 60 mph construction zone.
