Technology 2021 - by Moses

     

      It is now accepted that there will be a solar flare within two years that will render any and all satellite feed useless.  Ground lines will be at a premium and the masses may have to wait for new lines to be constructed to accommodate them.  

  The solar flare is known within the highest technology research and development.  It could be caused by a big enough meteor in space, or man made in the name of nuclear war in space.  This premise was studied as early as 1944 and NASA has announced contracts to study the cause and effects of the solar flare.  It was forecast to hit as early as 2010 and scientists have reasons listed as to the delay of the forecast.

  Today the price of silver is listed at roughly $50 an ounce.  To accommodate 100,000,000 new ground lines in North America the contract will probably be exorbitant as the plans are to use silver as the means of tolerance.  With the amount of silver necessary for the infrastructure the silver market will be pushed up.  As a result some have speculated that the price of silver will go up as high as $150 an ounce by the end of 2025.  

  The current ground-lines in place are copper inductance.  This is a high level of tolerance to use in relation to most metals.  However, silver is a much more desired level of tolerance and preferred by most technologists to even gold itself.  In actual fact the Chinese have flooded the silver market in the last couple of years which has pushed the price from $18 an ounce just a couple of years ago to the current $50 an ounce of today.  This means of production will eventually lead to silver reserves being sent to mint in greater frequency to accommodate the average citizen that wants to build their collections of wealth.

The 2021 Toronto Blue Jays - by Moses

 

  Now that the Toronto Blue Jays have entered the free-agent market this off-season picking up George Springer, Kirby Yates, and Marcus Semien (as they had last year in picking up Ryu), the Jays look poised to exact some damage to their opponents this year coming.  The fact is that we still have a good chance of landing Trevor Bauer this off-season to a long contract (4 or 5 years) making us a dominant team.

  Here is what the Jays will look like with Trevor Bauer in the rotation;

Covid-19 Vaccine Part 3 - by Moses

       This Covid vaccine has now been in existence publicly for about a month across the U.S.A, yet we're seeing a very small group being treated with the vaccine in the here and now (across America).  With medical front-line workers receiving first treatment of the vaccine across America, it will be interesting when people can get their number in line for a vaccine shot that promises at least some relief to a virus that doesn't just go away.  With a 94.1% effective vaccine the majority of the U.S population are in favor of taking a vaccine shot for them and their families.  Those that choose to wait for possible additional holistic treatments of the Covid-19 strand will eventually make up the minority once the vaccine has been doctored to the masses.  In fact the country of Israel has treated over 1,000,000 Israeli's since they received their vaccine supplies (and this is a nation of not even 9,000,000 people), and other countries are likewise working around the clock to use the vaccine to immunize their populations as quickly as possible.

  What's interesting is that those that have contracted Covid-19 can still be treated with the vaccine, and this vaccine is somewhat remedy to those afflicted.  The vaccine is able to work if the person hasn't already contracted the virus, but is a relief effort to the immune system for those that have contracted the virus.  Those that have contracted the virus would still benefit enormously from having the vaccine go to work for them and at the least prevent further progression of the virus itself.  The reality is that we're in the year 2021 and this means that the science of the equation looms as telling to fact that the World will have the Covid-treatments for eternity based on the expedition of a 94.1% effective vaccine in today's' age.  Is this where science ends?  No.  We'll be looking at what is feasible next quarter when we see how fast North America has an efficient immunization plan that is 98.6% effective with near zero side effects.  If it's not next quarter it's the quarter after that.  To the common man I ask a question;  Is 94.1% good enough?
