HUGE Breakthrough In ‘Nuclear FUSION’ — Will It Become A REALITY Before I Die?

I was so happy and excited to read about this. WOW.

OK. I will confess that I wish it had been for longer — i.e., NOT just for 48 seconds.

I don’t know the mechanics, BUT I wish they had managed to run it for longer — a few hours — at a REDUCED temperature. We don’t need such outlandishly high temperatures. What we need is sustainability.

NUCLEAR POWER IS OUR FUTURE.

There can be no doubt or debate about this any longer. Thankfully countries are beginning to see sense — even in the U.S.

Fusion, the nuclear process that powers the sun, is the way forward. Recreate the sun closer to earth. I am all in favor of ALL nuclear — but LOVE fusion.

My time on earth is now limited. I would LOVE to see fusion become a reality before I die. I somehow don’t think that will happen. But, this made me happy.


‘Fidelity Investments’ Gets Their March Interest Payments Wrong On April Fools’ Day!

April 01, 2024 and they post a ‘Dividend Received’ BUT it is NEGATIVE!

Repeat. Says ‘Dividend Received‘ BUT it is MINUS (i.e., negative). So it isn’t Received — it is a DEBIT!

Plus it is on April 1April Fools’ Day.


Having been a Fidelity customer for nearly 40 years I kind of figured it out, BUT I thought I would get them to explain and clarify.

It wasn’t a quick explanation as I had expected. I was on hold for nearly 20 minutes.

It ALL had to do with March MONTH END happening on ‘Good Friday’, i.e., March 29, a HOLIDAY. That messed them up. FUNNY.

They OVERPAID because of that.

So, they had to go back and recoup. FUNNY.

All because month end fell on a holiday. In 2024?

Funny.

How many of YOU noticed.
