World News / Re: What Do You Notice When You Mirror The Image Of King Charles’ Portrait? Do You See It?

Mirror image? I think people are reading too much into this portrait.

....."Mr. Yeo said his goal was to produce a more modern royal portrait, reflecting Charles’s desire to be a more modern monarch, reducing the number of working royals and scaling back the pageantry of the coronation (all things being relative).

Still, the choice of shade seems particularly fraught given the … well, firestorm the king has endured since his ascension to the throne.

Consider, for example, the continued falling out with his second son, Prince Harry, and the publication of Harry’s memoir, with its allegations of royal racism; the related calls for an end to the monarchy; Charles’s cancer diagnosis; and the furor over the mystery about Catherine, Princess of Wales, whose own cancer diagnosis was revealed only after increasingly unhinged speculation about her disappearance from public life...............

Well, at least Biden is willing to debate Trump Even if he can’t put together more than two or three sentences

That is still more than Trump was willing to do in the GOP primary

Walmart Cutting Hundreds Of Corporate Jobs, Relocating Majority Of Remote Workers To HQ

OAN’s James Meyers
1:48 PM – Wednesday, May 15, 2024

Walmart announced on Tuesday that it’s planning to cut hundreds of jobs at its corporate headquarters and will relocate a majority of its U.S. and Canada-based remote employees to three offices.

    “We are asking the majority of associates working remotely, and the majority of associates within our offices in Dallas, Atlanta, and our Toronto Global Tech office, to relocate,” Donna Morris, Walmart’s chief people officer wrote in a memo to its US campus associates on Tuesday.

America’s largest private employer, with 2.1 million workers globally, stated that most of the relocations will be to its headquarters in Bentonville, Arkansas, while others will move to its offices in the San Francisco Bay Area or Hoboken, New Jersey.

In a memo sent to employees by Donna Morris, the company’s chief people officer, she announced that the decision to relocate employees and ask other remote staff to come back into the office was made to facilitate better innovation “and move even faster.”



    “In addition, some parts of our business have made changes that will result in a reduction of several hundred campus roles,” Morris said in the memo. “While the overall numbers are small in percentage, we are focused on supporting each of our associates affected by these changes.”

    “We also believe it helps strengthen our culture as well as grow and develop our associates,” she said in the memo.


The retail giant also said it was reducing “several hundred” roles in its headquarters due to new changes in some parts of its business, without elaborating further.

Fortunately it was only damaged, though it was significant enough to close traffic for the meantime.

The big deal is that it is a double track BNSF line that carries a significant portion of the nation's GDP over it.

Yes, that is a big deal.

So....are all these bridge collapses truly accidental??  Seems quite coincidental that bridges are collapsing all within weeks of each other.

Being the skeptic that I am, I can't help but wonder what is truly going on??
