We're going to find out how many days you can successfully live on a McDonald's diet, aren't we?
Ken-Dogger: Morning Cleo
Cleo: Is it still? You're a late arrival today.
KD: IKR, I did sleep in; I never sleep in. Must have needed it.
C: You humans crack me up. You think there is some larger goal out there other than loving, eating, getting petted, and sleeping.
KD: We do get deluded.
C: Keep it simple my brother...
KD: And a KISS to you to Cleo.
For Some, taking a knee is not that difficult.
Did the code-talkers pass on their gift to the next generation?
I'm thinking we're going to appreciate having some codes in place.

IT'S PRESIDENTIAL.
This drastic measure is part of a new financial plan aimed at stabilizing the company’s economy and ensuring long-term survival.
The decision comes after yet another disappointing quarterly report. Although gross turnover increased by 11%, operating costs also rose, and total revenues declined, exacerbating the company’s financial woes.

SHADES OF THE FUTURE
Just because #47 loves bankruptcies, it doesn't mean it has to stick.
The American auto parts chain Advance Auto Parts has announced it will close 727 stores and four logistics centers as part of a strategy to avoid bankruptcy.
According to a report by Boosted, the closures are set to take place by the end of 2027.

YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS STUFF UP PEEPS
This has shifted the balance of those Thanksgiving staples. The Lions played the game you could ignore while prepping sides. The Cowboys were for beers and couch-assisted digestion, the game folks at least appeared to care about.

This will not be the case in 2024.

Robert B Reich on What's Coming
Trump is well on his way to “crush the system,” as he promised — which most Americans appear to want because the “as usual” system has for decades been rewarding big-money donors, monopolists, CEOs living off government contracts (like Musk) and fat-cat denizens of Wall Street (like Lutnick and Bessent) — all of whom have been siphoning off most economic gains for themselves.

Just putting this out there...
45 pro-democracy activists in Hong Kong were sentenced to up to 10 years in prison in the biggest trial yet under a 2020 Beijing-imposed national security law.
In certain parts of the city, poor air quality reached more than 50x the WHO’s recommended safe limit, according to the AP. The smog is the result of several factors, but the primary cause is farmers burning their crop residue, which blows into the city and stays trapped there because of the colder temperatures. Areas of Pakistan, India’s neighbor, have been suffering under similarly heavy smog conditions for weeks.

The Current Tally--We ARE NOT winning the Climate War.
Air pollution in New Delhi soars to 50 times the recommended safe limit.

Here’s one example: Shares of dental supplier Henry Schein popped because investors anticipate there will be more tooth decay and a surge in dental visits—and therefore more demand for its products—if HHS secretary nominee Robert F. Kennedy Jr. tries to remove fluoride from US public water systems.
