Iran leadership decapitated in US Israel strike

It is more fun criticizing

The Supreme Head  of Iran, Khameini and 40 other commanders were killed in air strike effectively wiping out totally the country's leadership.    No definite successor is determined.    The fear for a prolonged war is probably lost.   No more uncertainity

Conflict of interest on bets vs the tariff refunds? Will they profit the most?

It is more fun criticizing

The  Supreme Court has struck down DT tariff vs other nations.   One company, owned formerly by a cabinet official  may have obvious conflict of interest by betting on the refunds to those companies affected: 20 to 30 cents on the dollar, and can stand to profit immensely on the bet

They stand to profit immensely on these bets?  

Betting now every where in US?

Taiwan now leads US in chip manufacturing; the latter used to dominate the field; how leadership can be transitory

It is more fun criticizing

90% of the worlds advanced microchip are built at TSMC.  Built by a Chinese senior officer Morris Chang at Texas Instrument.  How leadership in chip manufacturing got pulled from USA by Chinese.  Can US recover their chip dominance (led by Intel before?   But they got lazy)

PAL was the first commercial airline in Asia in 1945. Why was it not being mentioned?

PAL - Asias first airline

Illegal reclamation projects at Laguna Lake

It is more fun criticizing

A lot is being published regarding alleged illegal reclamation projects at Laguna Lake.   This is pervasive at Taguig and even in our town where hectares of the lake are being reclaimed.    They say that LLDA will not allow any construction beyond the 12.5 mllc elevation   But it is not.   They allege that LLDA law prohibits reclamation projects (I tried to look for such authority under the law that created LLDA This post can not find clearcut rules on reclamation.)

The GM of the agency appeared to be surprised and may be his monitoring team are napping?

Now its flood control projects being masqueraded but in reality are reclamation projects.  (One of them a siomai Lord turned billionaire, alleged not to have been rich due to the product but because of something else)

Will there be more with the coastal road projects?

Really these activities must be controlled becasue of frequent floodings, pollution and its possible effect on the use of Laguna Lake as reservoir for Manila Water and Maynilad.   It is possible that the water storage capacity of the lake could be affected with the decrease in volume due to reclamation
