Remote, numbers-driven decisions increasingly drive unreasonable expectations for the workers who make real things, work face-to-face with customers, and perform physical (in any sense of the word) labor.

Oddly, Reich claims that the answer is “far more self-employment, more people moving to locales around the country where housing is cheaper.”…[Read more]

Clintonite Paul Begala this week gaslit America when he said ‘we don’t have bad leaders, we have bad followers’

Charlamange told Biden “It don’t have nothing to do with Trump — I want something for my community.”

Biden angrily dismissed the idea with “If you have a problem figurin’ out whether yer fer me or Trump then you ain’t black!”

She is a horrible person and she gave us Trump.

Greeks had 100+ gods, Romans had “seven vestal virgins” — both of those cultures now embrace just one god and one virgin.

One of my relatives is devoutly Catholic and went to Ireland expecting many like-minded people. She felt very betrayed that the Irish had moved on from religion.

Dustin Hoffman said he based his version of Captain Hook in “Hook” on Buckley

might be the closer definition.

Like racists, Democrats now define themselves less by what they are than by what they are NOT. As in “not Fox news watchers” “not anti-vax” “not Trump” “not Bernie Sanders supporters” etc.

Also like religion, members have to swallow a big bunch of bullshit right at the beginning and then maintain denial of…[Read more]

likely as part of the efforts to thwart changes to the hierarchy. Same ole same ole — slaves revolt? create racism to divide them. And now the divisions are every possible demographic measure plus some new ones like “CIS” gendered. Oprah promoted a book called “Caste” last year but despite the title, the book by a Clintonite worked hard to avoid…[Read more]

Where the DNC pumped up “Cruz, Trump and Carson” because they thought any of those would be easy enough for HRC to beat. But Rand Paul doesn’t really fit with that because he had no shot at becoming the GOP nominee. It’s odd.

and when you look at high school history books, they say much more about the Revolution and the Civil War than they do about Occupy Wall Street. The closer “history” comes to the present the more uncomfortable it makes people. Much harder to spin lies about the events people have lived through than the events they were not alive for.

History as…[Read more]

The English love their myths and the monarchy is a big part of their branding.

The Shakespeare myth, for example, brings about 1 billion USD a year to Stratford Upon Avon and Stratford is far from the top tourist destination so I have to think the monarchy is grossing >$3 bil. One source says the net profit is “$1.64 billion” per…[Read more]

He tries repeatedly to get through the locked door to the dispatcher who said something he didn’t like. He is being aggressive.

It looks like the taser comes out while he spraying hand sanitizer all over himself and the floor. Some of it comes close to hitting the cops. Not defending their actions and certainly not the outcome but he is…[Read more]

Seems like they could have detained him for drunk and disorderly — mostly for his own safety. They wind up tasering him at the worst possible moment.

Clearly we need better approaches, training and tools for dealing with drunk people. Tasers have lit up people who WEREN’T covered with 70% alcohol gel but as the saying goes “when all you have is…[Read more]

it is clear that the Omicron variant was in mice and jumped back to humans.

This fact has been laughed at in this thread and I don’t understand why. Comment culture is killing critical thinking and replacing it with untethered emotion.

If this did NOT happen in a lab then it happened in the wild and we know 40+% of deer and some other mammals…[Read more]

and we are encouraged to blame THEM rather than the government and media who fear-mongered and misinformed them.

Meanwhile we are two years into Covid and there is almost no institutional learning or accountability. Highest death rate on the planet and not one CDC employee has been replaced.

Whoever decided they should lead with the message…[Read more]

But it isn’t about “campaign contributions” because campaign contributions have to be spent on campaigning so there is no net gain in that.

Money is debt. The $20-bill in your hand is not 20 dollars worth of anything — it is a note that says the government owes you $20 worth of something (that doesn’t exist). It is a belief-system and as such…[Read more]

Two weeks ago it was “$11 billion is not enough taxes for him”

Keeps the heat off Bezos and Gates I guess.
