On a merchant ship, the Slop Chest is where the crew goes to buy personal supplies. In days of old, cigarettes, alcohol tax free, working clothes and gloves, etc. It is run by the Captain and profits go into their pockets. Some Captains would pocket the money, some would upgrade the ship in some way. It is the one weekly event where the Captain is forced to face his crew on a personal level. Think of Maralago as the new Global Slop Chest... Now if we can only fence around Florida and wait for that Category 6 Hurricane which can't happen because Climate Change is a hoax.

In our endless addictive quest for entertainment, we pause momentarily to fear for our economy and social safety nets. But we are tragically misguided because we have become stupid enough, not to fear for the loss of our minds. Technology with its bright, blaring wonders is the mind candy that is devouring us as we sit with eyes daily glued to screens whose algorithms are feasting on our humanity. If history records our era as the Age of Fools, it will be for good reason. We accept all of this because we can, not because we should.

Wait, Lutnick's family makes money on data center projects? Didn't we just learn that the real reason for the oversized ballroom is the giant, deep underground, data center, high security storage and faraday caged, bunker, emulating the size of the one built in Israel?

What a coincidence! This is a good exposé. https://open.substack.com/pub/thedreydossier/p/trump-isnt-building-a-ballroom?r=6z8u3&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web
