What did it go to before the war in Ukraine? Didn't every wealthy person with a jet flee from Russia and Ukraine the day before the war?
There seems to be automatic contempt for the idea..
but everybody ought know about that Pentagon-pizza-index, identifying whether there's about to be a war, based on how much pizza's been ordered by people at the Pentagon who aren't going to be eating supper at home, today..
& that's definitely an early-warning-system.
After I found-out that oligarch-types have a stock-market-code, where specific trade-amounts are actually not intended as trades, but rather as "please manipulate the market in this, or that, particular way" signals..
< sigh >
( no, no establishment's ever going to allow accountability to touch its ruling-caste )
then it became clearer just how everything-is-rigged this world is.
Epstein was only a difference-in-degree, not a category-difference, in establishment's gaslighting ( I'm saying that knowing about the "Christian" pedophile-protection-operations, both protestant & catholic, that have been entrenched for decades, if not centuries, though )
That James Cameron was informed of the idiotic-submarine's implosion .. what, a week before the search was called-off .. yes, the elites get different rules.
Yes, I expect that this early-warning-system may well give useful signal about things about to turn into hell-for-the-masses.
I'd expect the elites to vamoose, while shutting-off our ability to leave.
That'd fit the paradigm that this world really works in.
Sabotaging our ability to leave would actually only take a few carefully-placed-rumors, to wipe-out fuel-supplies, & that'd be the end of it: maximal-destruction, therefore maximal "entertainment" for ruling-privilege.
and yes, that degree of cynicism looks justified, now.
"Cheers."
.. there was a TV News guy, long ago..
he signed-off, after the "kicker" story, at the end.. ?Peter Truman? was his name?
"That may not be news, but that too is reality."
Our world requires actual-journalism, actual-justice, actual-accountability, & actual gutting-of-corruption..
but political-systems ALWAYS prevent that from becoming too significant..
& nobody's got the spine to replace politics with correctness, exactly as that political-meme somebody posted today showed.

Why would the private jet owners know precisely when the imminent apocalypse is about to happen? 🤔
Unless of course… the apocalypse is coming from inside the house! Ahhhhh!
They have access to insider information allowing them to capitalize on pointless wars on polymarket. You think they won't have more warning than the rest of us?
Polymarket accepts bottle caps for predictions now?
I think it’s pretty neat, but amusing that it’s an “early warning system”, but the last update was an hour ago. Call my crazy, but I don’t think that’s early enough.
And it only triggers if enough other people are already on their way to safer places.
I think the assumption is that the ultra-wealthy will hear about it before us peasants, so when oligarchs all flee in their private jets it gives the rest of us a warning.
Only supports the US so ¯\(ツ)/¯
You'll be fine. You probably get free healthcare and lots of vacation.
So dumb. Who gives a shit. If you're not on one of those jets, you're dead. Zero reason to pay attention.
Kinda depends on the scenario. Typically cities aren't the highest value military targets so it would depend on exactly how things play out. Usually military bases and missile facilities are the primary targets in most scenarios.
Of course we'll all have the fun after effects if enough go off.
It’ll give you enough time to get closer to a military target and thus an instant, almost painless death, letting you be one of the lucky ones
the planes aren't going to be much good if there's nukes blasting EMP and shockwaves near metropolitan areas
I think the point is the system is so corrupt the 1% will get enough warning lead time to get out and get to their bunker, or at least be well clear of the EMP zones. I.e hours not seconds.
what idea of an early warning system will you be contributing to the discussion. no reason for your only contribution to be a negative dismissive comment, unless that’s the kind of human you are, one that only negatively impacts discourse
I'm not stupid enough to think many people would survive a "nuclear apocalypse".
