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,

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.

Jus because you can't get a job that pays better than minimum wage
flipping burgers doesn't mean nobody else can.

I don't need a job. But plenty of people are working their asses off
for not much pay.

A healthy economy would not have the wealth disparity we see in the
U.S.

Until Mommy and Daddy pass away, and you can't live in the basement
any more, anyway.

The poor in the US live better than the upper middle class in most of
the world.

The US economy is not a disaster. It's quite healthy on a global perspective, as healthy as any other and better than most. Our GDP is one of the highest, certainly higher than China and other so-called global economic powers.. That fact doesn't mean that the economic benefits are being distributed evenly. However, that's a result of the type of government that the Americans have voted for, quite consistently.

Economic power is in the hands of the educated elites who know how to generate revenue streams, whether in manufacturing, money management or service providing. These people are productive and generally don't give a rip about the plight of the economically disadvantaged. They have successfully captured the government so that economic benefits flow toward them. They are also very competitive and do whatever is needed to win in their favor. They will not cede ground out of the goodness of their hearts. Economic competition is the be-all and end-all of the game and the losers will be pushed aside..

I do not expect the politics of this country to change, I think we are stuck in this present mode for the foreseeable future until automation has taken away income from so many people that only a drastic change will convince the dunces to vote in their own economic interest. Right now the "dunces" are easily sidelined politically by simple "bumper sticker" slogans. They will happily give away their future for "Second Amendment Freedom" or an "End to baby killing Planned Parenthood". They don't realize that even these two simple concepts are very complex things in a society and that they are being used to strip them of their future.
