One man was taken to hospital for exposure. The other waited out the siege and was taken to safety after the agents left."

AI is grossly inflated, but it's the only sector that is in the positive, due to that false inflation.
Businesses have been sinking money into it, creating a bigger and bigger bubble, and creating a lot of negative exposure for companies when the bubble pops. www.bbc.com/news/article...

The scale at which the President is profiting from his post is staggering. Perhaps past presidents and their self-dealing snuck out with a million or so — a briefcase full of cash. This time, it's billions, which you should visualize as a fleet of school buses filled with Benjamin Franklins.

That is part of the story. The other, equally disgraceful part is that the country's most important newspaper saw fit to publish an even more fawning apologia for this "journalist" who has betrayed our profession to the utmost degree
Nuzzi's fawning coverage of the sociopathic conspiracy crank she was having an affair with aided his rise to political power, which he is using to perpetrate the worst intentional public health catastrophe of our unnecessarily shortened lifetimes, and THAT is the STORY.

The real question we need to be asking
Why’s the president with horribly low approval numbers so determined to fill the states that oppose him with military who will be used against the people in those states?
He’s working really, really hard to turn the military against the people who oppose him.
