In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes.
The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last.
The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes.
Why?
It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

Corporations & hedge funds exacerbated the housing crisis by buying up available housing to turn it into higher priced rentals.
The average age of a first-time home buyer, for those who can do it, is now 40. To complete the wealth transfer, 50 year mortgages will turn homeownership into to tenancy

The result? A fragmented public consciousness where competing realities coexist, each self-reinforcing and resistant to correction. When truth is no longer a shared foundation, power shifts to those who control the most compelling narrative - no matter how detached from reality it is.

They're making it as clear as they possibly can that they intend to abandon the constitutional order and democratic elections and rule through force. They're preparing for their physical safety from the civil unrest they expect when they overthrow the government.
