I really wasn’t feeling well after trying to breathe through a face diaper again. Oops.
I did have things on in the background. Right now, I’m listening to KRenner talk about finding gigs from an HR perspective.
It’s interesting, but I’m inclined to think that much of this is now OBE. Despite the robust economic latching on with a big company and advancing there is a thing of the past.
After bailing on Trump’s interview with Sharyl Atkisson after hearing again, nothing worthwhile, I stumbled across Neil Cavuto interviewed Mark Cuban about his support for Kamala
They had a back-and-forth about Trump’s bad monetary policy…..without any mention of how really bad Biden/Harris have been. Both candidate are relying upon just ungodly amounts of circulating money. Nobody ever expects that the spigot will ever close.
But it will. It has to. The maths don’t work otherwise.
Trump came out either yesterday or the day before with a proposal to limit credit card interest rates to 10%. Much like his pitches for no taxes on tips, and Social Security Income sounds good at initial listening, but they don’t fix anything.
Stop taxing tips? The deficit in Social Security gets worse; the “trust fund.” (That doesn’t exist because no politician has been willing to raise the retirement age even though life expectancy is now probably close to twenty years more than it was they bumped it the last time…) Social Security Retirement is out of money, and there’ll be mandatory cuts very soon, now. Taking off contributions on tips.
Meanwhile, nobody is willing to actually reduce spending, raise taxes, and raise interest rates.
No, NeoHips, the MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX!!1! didn’t have a damned thing to do with every single TSA agent being a Federal employee.
But Kamala, and Alsobrooks are going to make sure grocers don’t soak consumers in pursuit of their 1% margins.
Nobody has a plan. That’s worse than it’s ever been.
The NFL came back on Thursday night. Very good game, and my strategy for my primary fantasy team worked very well.
I actually, kind of by accident, ended up drafting bth Lamar Jackson and Patrick Mahomes.
The latter ended up getting traded for a couple of wide receivers who may provide good numbers for the year.
The Ravens-Chiefs game Thursday night was very good. I wrote last time about the situation with the game in Brazil.
I’d considered scribbling down the names of the companies that supported the debacle, but why? I don;’t care about either of the teams, and, probably most of the companies advertising aren’t things I’d typically buy, anyway.
Still, if you think what’s going on in Brazil is a good thing, or any of the stuff they’re doing, I really don’t want anything to do with you.
If you’re a politician who speaks out in favor of penalizingjailing murdering people who disagree with you, there is absolutely zero chance I’ll ever vote for you.
Sorry, Officer Harris.
Sorry WLAF Commissioner Walt.
So. What’s on tap for the week?
Probably a ton of work. No medical stuff, thankfully, though things start again in earnest next week.
ComXfinity has an AI app I can use. Unfortunately, I can’t figure out how to make it work for Fantasy Football.
And refusing to work. I really feel like there’s things I ought to be doing.
Actually, no, I should be doing what I’m doing.
Looking at probably five straight twelve-hour days this week.
But I think I’m ready. TV viewing has kind of been offset by Olympics being on. I watch a bit, but it’s really not something I’m terribly interested in.
I could dive deeper into the mess that is politics, but that might be more disappointing than many other things.
Watching the sputtering economics happening. NYSE started deflating. What’s Trump’s solution? Stop taxing Social Security income. What’s Harris’s solution? Tell the world that Trump is worse than Hitler because he doesn’t want to raise taxes on corporations. (That don’t even pay taxes, anyway…..)
1-2-3 Plan. Set interest rates to 1% above inflation. 2. Halve discretionary spending. 3. Triple all tax rates and fees.
I’m planning out this summer’s travel. I always am tempted, and maybe this is a remanent of being very poor, but, I have to remind myself that I need to run the quick math on what I’m trying to do, how long it’s going to take me to save money, and how much I could save. If I would charge a hundred bucks for something that’ s going to take me four hours, it’s not worth it.
Just pay the extra and move on. Maybe I forego dessert a few nights. I probably should do that, anyway.
So, flight was booked last weekend. Casino hotel room booked. Let’s go.
Otherwise, with the NFL being off, I’m really catching up on a lot of entertainment.
On in the background. I did watch the Tom Brady roast. There were a few jokes that might have gone a bit too far….BUT…that’s how it’s supposed to work.
He did get in a 9/11 joke at Drew Bledsoe’s expense.
But it’s been more than twenty years. You call tell jokes about that now.
And, as is so often the case, I’m getting distracted.
Hm. I should email $person. Hm. Maybe if I got back on the schedule of writing over the summer again.
Nobody else here in the hotel restaurant I swearing green, also I’m less concerned about getting pinched.
Is my laptop bag a little green? Does that count as apparel?
It doesn’t matter. You shouldn’t be pinching strangers. Or even people you know.
Mind is racing at this point following more disunion of the Just Asking Questions ep w/ Radley Blake and Coleman Hughes. The criticism of the “debate” was flowing back to The Fifth Column. Why would they be “platforming” someone who denies Chauvin’s judgement as a murderer?
Um. Because free people can believe whatever they’d like about anything, and there’s no danger in having someone on who arrives at a different conclusion than the prevailing narrative.
I mean, there’s people who ardently believe that the Earth is hollow, and people’s souls are stored inside that hollow core.
Um. Okay, then. Nice to meet you. I’d be okay never speaking to you again. And there’s nothing wrong with me having that opinion.
I think I wrote a bit about the documentary that pretty proclaimed Chauvin’s innocence in George Floyd’s death.
While I don’t believe that, I would say that on balance, Chauvin nad ht either officers probably harmed society less than a lot of the people who burned the city in the aftermath.
Upstairs for more coffee consumption…
Okay. The whole thing kind of speaks to the whole there’s one-right-way-to-think-about anything. The talk with the president of the University of Austin also touched on this. You are free to reach whatever conclusions you like about just about anything.
Why his that controversial?
Why do you deserve the worst ham the state can bring down if you do the wrong thing?
Don’t platform people.
Did Michael Cohen explain this to you from what he saw in Prague, Sister Rachel?
Forgot to upload this:
View out the back of the hotel from the breakfast room.
Work is incredibly trying at this point. Really trying to not get too caught up in asshole behavior, or, to needle the HR mafia, the equity that’s been stolen from me with new policies.
Just pace it along in with the family stuff that’s going on nearly a thousand miles away.
Kind of distracted on this Championship weekend. Only two games tomorrow. 1500, and 1830 Eastern.
The thing about seeing someone naked in an intimate way is different than just seeing a fake representation of someone engaged in whatever while namked.
Was I disappointed by the photos of a forty-something Belinda Carlisle in Playbo No. Were they representative of what she’d be on a routine day? Doubtful.
The chances of me actually ever seeing her naked in person are still exactly the same — zero.
B.C. did the shoot of herself willingly, and got paid for it. But let’s say she didn’t. How would throwing people in prison make the situation better?
For football tomorrow, I had this thought:
Championship Sunday Menu * KC BBQ * Rice-A-Roni * Detroit Pizza * Natty Boh
