It's not a megastructure. It's our vast, Tabby, invasion fleet. The individual mega-ship's routes vary slightly on their spiraling flight path to Earth. So they regularly cross your line of sight to Tabby's Star.

Please tell your Herr Trumpet to get a proper hair cut by Thursday week.
Only complete capitulation on the W.H.Lawn is acceptable to Us.

Thanks and best regards,

P.S. U.S. economy (you know, something that actually matters, as opposed to gold-digging whores) is doing FANTASTIC!

Not really. The economy is in pretty poor shape, with wealth disparity
increasing and more and more people in deep **** due to medical
expenses.

Businesses are generally doing fine. That's a lousy metric for the
economy.

Really? Do you mean businesses that provide actual JOBS and health
benefits for those "poor" folk? Or are you talking about those people
that work for US in gov't. jobs?

The work force is at a mere 4% so the economy is "in pretty poor shape"?
Normally, 4% would be a GREAT number, but many people stopped looking for
work thanks to the mishandling of the economy in previous years. Counting
them, it's probably more like 9 or 10%, but that number is dropping while
the 4% number is holding fairly steady.

Businesses provide jobs. They shouldn't be allowed to provide health
benefits; that's one of our problems. But having a job doesn't mean
you're in a good position. Employment is also a poor indicator of
economic health.

The U.S. economy is a disaster.
