Roundup
(1) Elon Musk wants to pull out of the Twitter deal because of Twitter bots.
Then again, does he really, or is this just a negotiating tactic?
Twitter initially rejected Musk’s $54 per share bid, called Musk names, told him to pound sand and pay more, and then grabbed the deal as it became clear Musk was grossly overpaying. It couldn’t last, and Musk is backing out, asserting that Twitter has refused to fully disclose the percentage of users who are bots, and for (allegedly) misrepresenting other information. In a role reversal, now Twitter says it will sue to force Musk to purchase the company per the inflated price previously negotiated…
Musk walking away puts Twitter in a tough place, a sinking stock price and no other viable option to realize shareholder value. Maybe it’s just to negotiate a more appropriate price.
Darned if I know.
Sri Lanka is in the middle of a full-scale collapse after the president announced the nation is “bankrupt,” having run out of both money and energy. Hundreds of thousands of protesters have taken to the streets, and things have devolved into a dystopian nightmare.
In the last several hours, the presidential palace was taken over by a sea of people, angry at the government for putting them in such a precarious position. And as I’ll explain, Sri Lanka’s woes were not only avoidable but were purposely brought on to please climate change fanatics in faraway lands.
(3) COVID lockdowns have harmed children all around the world, as even the Economist recognizes:
When covid-19 first began to spread around the world, pausing normal lessons was a forgivable precaution. No one knew how transmissible the virus was in classrooms; how sick youngsters would become; or how likely they would be to infect their grandparents. But disruptions to education lasted long after encouraging answers to these questions emerged.
Make that long long long after. That data about children emerged extremely early. It seems to have been the teacher’s unions that kept pushing for the closings to continue, at least in the US.
More:
New data suggest that the damage has been worse than almost anyone expected.
Maybe worse than the left expected (or maybe not). Certainly not worse than the right expected.
Locking kids out of school has prevented many of them from learning how to read properly. Before the pandemic 57% of ten-year-olds in low and middle-income countries could not read a simple story, says the World Bank. That figure may have risen to 70%, it now estimates. The share of ten-year-olds who cannot read in Latin America, probably the worst-affected region, could rocket from around 50% to 80%.
Children who never master the basics will grow up to be less productive and to earn less.
Isn’t that part of the Great Reset, though?
(4) The Netherlands apparently doesn’t want to go the way of Sri Lanka.
Schools should have reopened fully in person in September of 2020 with no mandatory restrictions. Period.
If teachers wanted to wear masks go for it or if they wanted to quit then so long.
Of course, that was true for everything with maybe the exceptions of hospitals and nursing homes.
P.S.- And Los Angeles is hinting at bringing back the countywide mask mandate.
The events in Holland are receiving very little attention in the MSM, despite the importance of these protests (rather similar to the actions of the Canadian truckers some months ago). There is a remarkable young Dutch woman (a legal scholar who happens to be engaged to Prager U’s Will Witt) who has appeared several times on Tucker’s show to discuss events in her homeland. Eva Vlaardingerbroek is exceptionally bright and charismatic, and she deserves to be much better known as a leading voice in rational and sensible Euro-conservatism.
Sri Lanka has almost the exact population as Florida (around 22 million).
This is affecting a large amount of people.
I don’t know either but I suspect that either way, Musk wins.
From linked article: “none of the globalists who used Sri Lanka as a testbed for their green fantasies are coming to help.”
The globalists who used Sri Lanka as a testbed for their green fantasies must be arrested, charged with crimes against humanity,
given a fair trial and upon conviction, executed.
Starting with Fauci, those responsible for the scamdemic must be arrested, charged with crimes against humanity and mass murder,
given a fair trial and upon conviction, executed.
Netherland police have in at least one instance, fired upon protesting farmers.
That’s what is so interesting about Geoffrey’s judgements; how well they track with reality.
I find that the story about Sri Lanka is terribly parsed, and it’s difficult to get an understanding of the basis of their troubles. But internationally-held debt, in no small part default on “Belt and Road” debt for new infrastructure built by China, seems to be part of it. I found this info-graphic to be a very helpful reference before reading through these various stories:

The thing about the schools closing was how unbelievably fast it all happened. Should have set off all kinds of alarm bells.
Here in our school district anyway they had a week to go before spring break so they first announced they were taking the week before break off then coming back after spring break. Then the next day they announced they were off until early May and then about two days later they cancelled the rest of the school year and started their half assed remote school stuff which didn’t really kick in until September.
And of course ‘remote’ school is not school.
Criminal.
As I remember it Facebook censored a post from Trump pointing out that children were far less likely to get serious ill from covid and far less likely to spread it for medical misinformation even though at the time it was known what he said was actually true. But hey, they had an election to “fortify”.(It worked didn’t it?)
SRI USA… is on its way.
From reading about this over a period of several months, it appears that Sri Lanka went full climate crisis, requiring “organic” farming only and prohibiting non-organic fertilizers or other non-organic methods. Result: drastically reduced agricultural yields. A country whose diet includes lots of rice had to start importing it. Exports fell with output, and when the energy crisis hit, Sri Lanka had no cash to buy fuel. This was “climate change” idiocy carried to its idiotic extreme.
The Netherlands has instituted extreme limits on fertilizer, which will devastate its agricultural output. Farmers are understandably outraged.
From The Economist- “New data suggest that the damage has been worse than almost anyone expected. Locking kids out of school has prevented many of them from learning how to read properly. Before the pandemic 57% of ten-year-olds in low and middle-income countries could not read a simple story, says the World Bank. That figure may have risen to 70%, it now estimates. The share of ten-year-olds who cannot read in Latin America, probably the worst-affected region, could rocket from around 50% to 80%.”
Studies are now showing the permanent and enormously harmful mask wearing has had on our young children.
I just returned from a medical mission trip to Honduras, and the kids there are still being made to wear masks. Someone should eventually be held responsible for the harm being done.
It is an absolute lock that masks will return in schools in blue cities and states this fall. In fact they will probably be there for many years to come. Will probably also have the testing and the random shifts to remote learning this winter also just like last winter.
om,
I’d hoped that the reader would infer the difference between should and could.
The former is what should happen, the latter what may happen.
Personally, given the dynamics at play I think the fair trial unlikely.
Though it is impossible to speak so clearly as not to be misunderstood, some people out of pettiness go out of their way to mischaracterize. Sad.
Elon Musk may want Twitter to sue him. If they do, their board members, officers and employees will be subject to civil “discovery.” His lawyers can subject them to long depositions under oath and demand access to documents to show whether they really were truthful about the number of robot spam sites and their banning practices. In other words, it could drive the value and reputation of the company even further down. Faced with that the Twitter folks may decide to just grin and bear it.
Geoffrey:
Would have, should have, could have won’t save you from yourself. In what world do Geoffrey “should be”s exist? Not the real one.
Griffin: “The thing about the schools closing was how unbelievably fast it all happened. Should have set off all kinds of alarm bells.”
Yes.
They schlonged Trump with Covid. Deaths? Lives ruined? Worth it. To them.
To our European friends: cultivate sweaters and desperation…
Biden’s sanctions unintentionally pushed tottering Sri Lanka over the edge. Stronger economies may yet follow?
Germany’s largest landlord, Vonovia, had taken the unprecedented step of restrictring heating at night, a terrifying preview of what lies in stock for the “most advanced” European nation this winter. Alas, it’s going to get worse, much worse. According to the FT, Germany is now rationing hot water, dimming its street lights and shutting down swimming pools as the impact of its energy crunch begins to spread like the proverbial Ice-Nine wave, from industry to offices, leisure centers and residential homes.

Kate at 7:22 pm: “it appears that Sri Lanka went full climate crisis, requiring “organic” farming only and prohibiting non-organic fertilizers or other non-organic methods.”
Yes, but: Why?. It appears they were struggling to put together foreign currency reserves, because one of their principal sources of foreign revenue, their tourism industry, was devastated by COVID shutdowns in 2020. Come 2021, no money left – hence, ‘use manure’. All of their problems seem to stem, over a 5-year period, from building excessive foreign indebtedness, severely diminished cash flows, and the first round of real consequences arising from those two conditions. But of the two, the debt is the real problem. It seems always to be the debt, and the defaults associated with over-reach.
Re: Sri Lanka
It’s worth noting that the lack of fertilizer was, at least in part, a reaction to lack of foreign currency to buy the fertilizer with. My understanding is that the ‘green’ was making a ‘virtue’ out of necessity.
There’s also stories floating around about corruption in the government, but the only concrete thing there was nepotism; the now-former PM appointed his brother to a high office.
To me it seems obvious Musk walking away is just a tactic. He’ll end up owning Twitter and will pay far less than $44 billion.

I just want to get this hot take out there: Sri Lanka failed because of the Putin Tax, so if the local gas stations would quit bilking the customers, everything will be fine.
And if the VP is sent to visit: We see before us what was avoidable yet we were told to expect before we came to view it.
To whatever extent the crisis in Sri Lanka is due to following the “woke” enviro diktats of the world’s elites ( you know, the DAVOS bunch – the ones that urge all of us peons to eat vege “meat,” while they dine on real meat filet mignon while there, and for that matter, everywhere else they go in their private planes or large SUVs) , rest assured they could not give a flying F**K about the hardships the citizens there are enduring.
Fundamental to the elite world view is their profound hatred for the common person and thus their desire to control every aspect of their lives (while they, the elites, live high on the hog).
(while they, the elites, live high on the hog).
I don’t bother about people who have built productive businesses (and whoever they elect to put on their patronage as long as their clients are not public officials) living high on the hog, so long as they’re not subsidized via public policy and the public treasury. When you have people on public sector salaries taking advantage with their expense accounts and people who made their pile via rent-seeking, it is rather galling (and socially injurious).
Re: Making a virtue out of necessity in using manure rather than chemical fertilizers. Isn’t this what Samantha Powers, our USAID director, has prescribed? And just see how well that’s working in Sri Lanka!

“Biden” is getting ready to unleash the Grand Betrayal (to augment those other grand betrayals that have already been perpetrated against “his” country, its citizens and its laws; against “his” supposed allies…and against the Truth).

Fortunately for them, when things go south, they can always blame the Trump/Bibi relationship…
But I think the general attitude on the part of the current Israeli leadership, such as it is—and this may be surprising to some—is “Turn the other cheek” (IOW, We’re NOT Bibi, so you can hit us again and again and again…make utter fools of us and even try to make us disappear; but who knows? maybe we’ll give you another medal of recognition, slavish devotion and obsequious respect!)
