Background music for this morning<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Good chat last night with the PF<\/a> folks last night. Discussion of one of the things that really bothers me, “intellectual property,” I learned that I’m a Fed (how’d I miss that??!?), catfish (my experience is that they’re the fish eating whatever you toss over at the marina as you’re cleaning your deep sea catch…ick, but there’s people who have a eaten it<\/a>) . We also talked a bit about my dilemma lately about what to do with the Virginia election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have no idea who the LP is going to run. I’ve been not terribly impressed with some of the answers about most things, but I will use my chance-of-winning threshold. If an election is within roughly ten percent, based on RCP<\/a> polling, I’ll vote for the Republican. The Democrats are having a primary; I’ll vote in it, because there are incredibly bad candidates running there, just to vote against those terrible candidates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the candidates is running TV ads talking about women in the workforce; how that they’re not re-entering the workforce, and there’s disparities when they do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because of that, Virginia needs to implement policies to ensure that there’s pay equity. Umm, okay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So you can leave. Companies are doing that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And with the surge in the use of telework, some companies are just refusing to hire people<\/a> in states that have the sorts of regulations this guy is campaigning on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People do just leave to get away from bad government policy. So that has to be stopped globally<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Old and busted: think globally, act locally. New hotness: ignore locally, dominate globally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, again, I find myself in the situation where the response, is “what can I do?” Sort of circles back to where I was when I wrote<\/a> last fall about How I Fount Freedom In An Unfree World<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s on tap for this week? Hmm. This is when I’d planned to not care about health stuff\/exercise, diet, but I’m just so in to the mode of paying attention to it that I’m finding it difficult to not do the things that have become habit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I want to be slovenly. I want to eat bad food. I want to drink. But doing those things doesn’t bring me a lot of pleasure at this point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to do…?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other than stop writing for the day. There’s not a lot of direction here, and there’s not a lot of inspiration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
