Americans With Four-Year Degrees Now Comprise a Record 25% of Unemployed Workers
November 24th, 2025Via: ZeroHedge:
The widening mismatch between an oversupply of college-educated workers and a deepening shortage of talent for non-degree, hands-on jobs has grown even more pronounced.
Bloomberg reports that the latest delayed BLS data shows a sharp deterioration in white-collar jobs, especially those holding four-year degrees, now making up a record 25% of all unemployed – or about 1.9 million folks, the highest level since 1992.
DragonFire: High Power Laser Shoots Down Fast Moving Drones
November 24th, 2025Via: Tom’s Hardware:
The UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) has announced that the high?power laser system DragonFire successfully shot down drones travelling at speeds up to 403 miles per hour (650?km/h) during recent trials at the Hebrides range in Scotland and has signed a $413 million (£316?million) contract with MBDA UK to begin deploying the system on the Royal Navy’s Type?45 destroyers from 2027, five years earlier than originally planned.
In the trials, the MoD reports that DragonFire achieved a UK first for the above-the-horizon tracking and interception of high-speed drones. The system is claimed to cost about £10 (~$13) per shot and can reportedly hit a £1 coin (slightly smaller than a US Quarter) from a kilometer (0.621 miles or ~1,093 yards) away. The contract links the program to the Strategic Defence Review and includes job creation across the country, with nearly 600 skilled roles supported in England and Scotland.

Two days ago I was contacted by a high-ranking employee of the French Government. After determining this person’s position and proximity to the French couple, I have deemed the information they gave me to be credible enough to share publicly in the event that something…— Candace Owens (@RealCandaceO) November 22, 2025

Moss Survives 9 Months in Space Vacuum
November 22nd, 2025Via: American Association for the Advancement of Science:
Mosses thrive in the most extreme environments on Earth, from the peaks of the Himalayas to the sands of Death Valley, the Antarctic tundra to the lava fields of active volcanoes. Inspired by moss’s resilience, researchers sent moss sporophytes—reproductive structures that encase spores—to the most extreme environment yet: space. Publishing in the Cell Press journal iScience on November 20, their results show that over 80% of the spores survived 9 months outside of the International Space Station (ISS) and made it back to Earth still capable of reproducing, demonstrating for the first time that an early land plant can survive long-term exposure to the elements of space.
“Most living organisms, including humans, cannot survive even briefly in the vacuum of space,” says lead author Tomomichi Fujita of Hokkaido University. “However, the moss spores retained their vitality after nine months of direct exposure. This provides striking evidence that the life that has evolved on Earth possesses, at the cellular level, intrinsic mechanisms to endure the conditions of space.”
RAMpocalypse: AI Buildout Sends Memory Prices Skyrocketing
November 22nd, 2025I bought a 32GB (2x16GB) kit of CORSAIR Vengeance 6000MHz CL30 DDR5 on November 25, 2024 for $99.99.
I thought I should buy another 32GB of that before prices rise…
The same product is $427.99 now. haha

With the AI boom and the rise of next-gen data centers in nearly every major city, as well as cloud-based computing, we’ve seen several reports in recent months of an unprecedented shortage of flash-based memory and storage expected in 2026. And as we’re heading into the final weeks of 2025, it sounds like the price hikes and limited availability are already here.
According to a new report from Reuters, Samsung Electronics is already raising the price on DDR5 memory modules by up to 60%. Prices for 32GB of DDR5 memory have increased from $149 in September to $239 in November. “The boom in artificial intelligence has stoked intense demand,” the report writes, noting that memory chips are included in the rush to purchase every high-end GPU that is currently being manufactured.
$1.2 Billion Suspicious Epstein Transactions? Wyden Demands Investigation After JP Morgan Failed To Report For Years
November 21st, 2025Via: ZeroHedge:
On Thursday morning, Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) called for an investigation into whether JPMorgan Chase deliberately concealed suspicious transactions by Epstein.
You really just need to look at Exhibit A in Wyden’s memo (dated Wednesday) based on unsealed court records: the number of transactions flagged as suspicious between 2002 – 2016, vs. a flurry of almost $1.3 billion in suspicious transactions that the bank scrambled to file right after Epstein died in jail awaiting trial.
CDC Changes Webpage To No Longer Reject The Possibility That Vaccines Cause Autism
November 21st, 2025Via: USA Today:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recast the vaccine safety section of its website to question the long-held stance that vaccines do not cause autism, countering decades of scientific evidence showing them to be safe.
The U.S. public health agency’s website was changed on Nov. 19 to say that “the claim ‘vaccines do not cause autism’ is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism.” It added that health authorities have “ignored” studies supporting the link between the two.

U.S. Could Collect DNA from Foreign Travelers
November 21st, 2025Via: The Sun:
NEW security measures are being rolled out on December 26, and travelers could have to hand over their DNA to cross the US border.
Authorities will ask for a cache of personal information to combat anyone overstaying their welcome.
The new travel rules apply to any non-citizen who is entering or leaving America, government documents seen by Reuters reveal.
Starting next month, US border authorities will be allowed to photograph travelers at airports and use facial recognition to compare their information with existing records.
The records can be held for up to 75 years.
U.S. Government To Buy 10 Large, New Nuclear Reactors
November 20th, 2025Via: ZeroHeadge:
Hot on the heels of news that it will invest “hundreds of billions” in loans to the nuclear power industry, including one already disbursed loan for $1BN to restart Three Mile Island, Bloomberg reported that the US government also plans to buy and own as many as 10 new, large nuclear reactors that could be paid for using Japan’s $550BN funding pledge, part of the Trump admin’s existential push to meet surging demand for electricity
The Energy Department’s chief of staff, Carl Coe, made comments today detailing the unusual arrangement related to the $550 billion in funding for US projects announced by Japan, Bloomberg reports.
“The role of having the government involved in private markets is sacrosanct — you just don’t do it,” Coe said at an energy conference hosted by the Tennessee Advanced Energy Business Council. “But this is a national emergency.”
