Anyone have any insights on "Apple Intelligence," as in artificial intelligence developed by apple? Is it secure and private, or is that simply a selling point?
The aquarian age incorporates great leaps in technology, but the residue of toxic Capricorn issues lingers with Apple product, doesn't it?
A realization, which I have held for the past 10+ years, is the 'break-then-fix' pattern that the country has been in, stretching back to the 1980's. The R's tend to break things, the country then votes in the D's who spend much of their time fixing things, and then its 'rinse & repeat' over and over, as short memories perpetuate this cycle. Perhaps things will break so badly this time, that the cycle will be broken.
So, it seems that light will come only if we experience a severe enough darkness, and perhaps we have not been through dark enough times to then experience sustained light. This understanding will help me on the path forward, as I hope it will help many others.
Want to share this very powerful image that I received recently as my holidays gift to each of you…
We are the village of Whoville who form a circle and sing joyously despite losses and hardships. We won’t allow our hearts to grow cold and hard.
Namaste
The thing about lessons, and not learning them, each time we get the opportunity to learn the lesson ~again~, it's often much harder than the previous time. My guides actually told me this on my morning walk, that if we don't listen and learn the lesson the first time, the next time will be so much more difficult. (I've had to learn this the hard way myself) I hope that we, as mainly a group of light workers, will be spared the very worst that 45 will be bringing to the general population. But what about family members. I support my 89 year old mom, who voted for that fraudster. I just hope I won't get sucked into her lesson as she is very manipulative - nothing is ever her fault, it's only my fault mentality. And managing/worshipping money is her main lesson in life. My husband wants to put her into a low-cost nursing home, which would be an awful experience for her. I'm just not sure I can do that.
I think many people who have marginal financial resources are going to be the most affected. Often these are the elders among us.
If things happen the way they may happen, people that rely on SS and/or earnings from their savings/investments will be highly impacted. Immediate impacts will be higher prices for everyday needs across the board. I'm not sure people realize that the deportations will lead to higher prices for quite a few things. So, many who favored the deportations will be quite surprised by the correlation. Then there are the tariffs, which will increase the cost of most of the durable goods we all buy. Again, I am not sure people realized the cost impact at a consumer level.
These higher prices will lead to less consumer spending and lower corporate profits (so lower/no dividends). Add in the probable cuts to SS & Medicare and you've got financial pressure coming from both sides . . . higher costs for just about everything and lower personal income for many. Then there are the inevitable layoffs. This will be a difficult path forward for many across the age spectrum.
Each of us should work up a plan for the next few years. I have given thought even before the election to how to best navigate the next few years if T won. Personal finances have been top of mind for me. Now with reality having struck, my path forward will be to reduce expenditures as much as possible. Our family (wife & I) did so on several occasions during our lives. One was when the children came along and we decided to drop down to 1 income. The second was after 9/11 (and the Internet bubble burst) when there were significant layoffs. During each of those times, it was amazing to see our ability to reduce our spending and still be comfortable. Looks like we may need to dust off that playbook in 2025-26 so as not to dig into our financial reserves.
Regarding current headlines:
I am glad he pardoned his son. With the incoming cabinet, for his recovery, prison would not be beneficial in any way.
I'm glad too. t has promised revenge on his so-called "enemies"-- the pardon leaves Hunter Biden less vulnerable to any vengeful schemes. I imagine that is why Joe did it. He couldn't leave his son exposed to the wolves.
So here we are between what was and what's going to be at best a @#$Q% show. And while I think it might be rocky, good always wins. There might be some blood on the ground, but good wins. And it wins in odd ways! just saw Wicked - and everyone loves it. I thought it was tedious but it's going to be seen by millions and what it's about is bad taking hold to the point that good is being squeezed out. And the Wizard and Trump comparisons are hard to miss. So, while people are being entertained they are also being reached, that you stand up for good, that you are down but you can still win. And it will reach parts of people that might be rusty and might soon be needed. And it's a fun movie if you don't think it's boring AF. It's no Fiddler on the Roof.
The dems and the GOP are like the addict (GOP) and the enabler (dems). Dems keep fixing the messes but the GOP takes credit for the good times that were made possible by the dems fixing things. Not sure how you stop that, and it's very dispiriting when half the country is asleep and doesn't see what's actually happening.
@the-happy-medium Good to hear from you. Wish you would pop in here more. I appreciate your take on things.
@anya I agree with you 100%. There was no way Joe Biden wasn't going to pardon his son after we learned who may be taking over the FBI. Biden is fiercely loyal to his family. He had every right to do it, and I'm glad he did.
I want to point out that one of Jeanne's Forum Guidelines is to not promote other psychics here. Some folks may not be aware of that.
