Text of the page (random words):
i have isn t whether or not the time change is useful clearly it is not the real fun occurs when we ask ourselves how do we get rid of it society clings to useless ideas ideas that have lost their utility or didn t really have any utility to begin with nobody wants to say that whole time change thing was bullshit because if we do that somebody s feelings might get hurt or we might have to actually admit we were idiots for trying it in the first place so instead 300 million of us minus those heartless heathens in arizona dutifully disrupt our lives because we are sheep that s what sheep do we can t even get rid of some make believe energy saving practice that hasn t saved any energy at all this has been going on for 40 years some dip shit named hudson started all of this thus i blame him and in all fairness back in the 1800 s it might have been useful now rather than argue about it anymore we just do the sheep thing twice a year http en wikipedia org wiki daylight_saving_time so probably we will never get rid of this piece of national insanity despite arizona s trailblazing the point of this blog will have you scratching your head i hope when i beam down the real reason i showcase this sheep like behavior as a nation we are absolutely outstanding when it comes to implementing ideas we are true professionals we will try any lame brained shit based on an outlier a glimmer of potential success but where this nation really falls flat on it s face where we really suck is our inability to measure the success of something and get rid of it if it doesn t work we never make plans to measure the success of a new program or law and if it s not working have some plan in place to get rid of it definable and measurable results did the plan achieve measurable results what a novel idea more often than not our shitty ideas languish like antiquated liquor laws forever wasting time taking up space and irritating folks who are forced to comply with some foolishness generated in the 30 s sometimes bad ideas just make me feel stupid near my house and less than a mile away is a red light that should never have gone up in the first place it just isn t needed but rather than get rid of the light in this fully developed area with no potential for future growth the light will undoubtedly remain in place for eternity i feel stupid when i am stopped at this light with absolutely no traffic for miles it is on a two minute timer i am on a 30 second timer sometimes i look both ways and then i run it i cannot tell you the amount of joy and exhilaration i get when i run this thing i do not feel shame or remorse it is my middle finger to a world where everything must be regulated and where nobody ever questions the need or usefulness of some government intrusion that has no utility or purpose other than it s mere existence in 2008 while the world was collapsing and hemorrhaging jobs left and right it was my contention that healthy people who had lost jobs would simply drop their health coverage it was too expensive the first people to get cut or laid off were always the most junior the younger healthier people so as the healthy people did in fact that very thing opt out of health care coverage the old and unhealthy felt the pain they could not opt out the insurers with their shrinking pools of healthy people and thus shrinking pools of available dollars ratcheted premiums through the roof this brought health care costs to absolute stratospheric heights as the greed of insurers malpractice lawyers administrators fraud government waste patent protection and drug and device company gouging were all put on full display the only way to recapture those healthy minions and their money was to pass a law which forces the healthy all back in and then call it something else to really hide your true intentions the affordable care act is bullshit and it most certainly is not affordable unless you live on the poverty line then it might be a good deal more welfare occam s razor the simplest assumption is often the most accurate occam s razor also written as ockham s razor latin lex parsimoniae is a principle of parsimony economy or succinctness used in logic and problem solving it states that among competing hypotheses the one that makes the fewest assumptions should be selected the healthy minions escaped and that was the collateral damage that occurred in 2008 the health care lobbyists and government want you back they need your free and unencumbered money to redeploy to unhealthy people and keep their profits and margins intact it was always that simple the roundup begins later this year of course people are absolutely going to shit bricks when they see just how bad all of this obamacare really is expensive and terrible coverage most of us will just opt out and pay the penalty the penalty is cheap the first year it is only 95 dollars in 2014 where else can you get less for more that is real economy we are a long way from measuring the effects of obamacare like daylight savings time and shitty stoplights obamacare might have been done with good intentions but the results will be disastrous where did they screw up where they always screw up they forgot to measure and address all of the failing components in the system outrageous litigation costs and awards outrageous malpractice insurance costs ridiculous patent protection for drug makers and devices price gouging ballooning administrative costs overpaid administrators fraud medicare and disability fraud non profit and tax exempt status they didn t lift one finger to fix our broken system they don t care about fixing it these aren t public servants they are employees of the crony capitalists anything having to do with cost containment or regulation was simply ignored because those are the elite areas lawyers lobbyists big pharma public companies even bankers those people were left untouched because they write the re election checks they give the politicians kids nice jobs government doesn t care as long as they get the healthy minions and their money back and they will gouge and tweak obamacare until such a point that we will all get tired and just stfu and it will be around forever it will never be measured for effectiveness like daylight savings time or that light at shoshone and overland it is here to stay at september 13 2025 7 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest thursday june 12 2025 it has to get a lot worse before it gets better the sunday collage as a young man researching the murder of frank little in butte montana i knew i was going to have my work cut out for me it would be a diet of microfiche readers at the library and old documents at the butte archives which is a wonderful repository for all things associated with the history of butte but the real problem i was going to have was the source or reference material in 1917 the only source of information was print media newspapers in butte every newspaper was owned by the anaconda copper mining company or the acm the acm had acquired every mining property on the hill and employed tens of thousands of miners they didn t just run butte and own a sympathetic and crooked police force they ran the state of montana that is well documented in town everyone just called them the company i discovered a couple of things that history really is told by the winners the company filtered out any death or story that cast them in a bad light since frank little was a union organizer and fiery orator they especially hated him they slandered him and his organization his murder not only went unsolved it went un investigated so that was it radio would not be around for another 15 years newspapers hopelessly biased were going to be my only source of information my father had been a news anchor on a small tv station in williston north dakota in the late 1960 s every night i would watch him report the local news and then i would watch the national news on one of two tv networks walter cronkite was the anchor i remember most i was about 8 years old i have been a news junkie for over 55 years cronkite was objective there was no political bias or jaded subterfuge like today when networks reported the news in the 60 s 70 s and 80 s it appeared to be impartial and mostly truthful there wasn t this heavily biased editorialized opinions that we see today everything is suspect election rigging with no investigation fraudulent polls suspicious debates and moderators jaded celebrities offering platforms endorsements and liberal opinions unrelenting media hatred for one candidate and universal media love for the democratic party and whatever horrible candidate they conjure up so what changed who murdered decency and objective reporting it was called the fairness doctrine and it was officially destroyed in 1987 and buried by barack obama in 2011 the demise of the fairness doctrine has been cited as the main reason for party polarization in the united states so here it was https en wikipedia org wiki fairness_doctrine every contest has rules boxers caged fighting football golf without rules and a fair playing field there is simply cheating and chaos so cheating and chaos now reign supreme on our political landscape all sorts of illegal activities like importing votes via illegal aliens and blocking any effort to prove citizenship before casting ballots demonizing anyone who questions the breakdown of our system subjecting people to ridicule for simply questioning an outcome or refusing a shot we even have the democrats trying to unseat justices on the supreme court for simply returning the abortion issue to individual states no issue is more divisive than the abortion issue as a country we are in pretty bad shape we desperately need an intervention and a complete change in policy yet i don t see anyone with that level of political courage trump has his hands full so maybe things just have to go the way they are going and with luck it will get so bad that good people will finally get off their asses and help i don t think we can stop what s coming but we can sure as hell slow it down at june 12 2025 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest could america survive without california for years i have been listening to various asshats tell me that california produces more tax revenue than it receives i have also read where california believes they are the 4th or 5th biggest economy in the world so as gavin newsome aka the clown prince of sacramento trades barbs with president trump you have to wonder could we live without california california has the tech industry and silicon valley it has the film industry and hollywood but most importantly california has a fantastic agricultural economy they grow everything from soup to nuts in one of the most fertile temperate climates in the world california has fantastic weather miles and miles of beautiful beaches and the pacific ocean it has nice people as well we conservatives tend to throw out the baby with the bathwater when discussing the oppressive liberal politics that strangle the state we think everyone is a liberal in california and that simply isn t true i know many conservative people more conservative than myself who have fled california let s agree to one other thing it is california s great weather beaches and the ocean that people love that is why so many corporations and people have moved there it is quality of life nobody moved to california for the great governance in fact california boasts a list of idiot politicians like no other state waters pelosi schiff harris newsome you have to look awfully hard to find a cadre of dipshits worse than that list i can t imagine anyone saying man i love those california politicians let s move there for the record i briefly lived in santa ynez it was a wonderful place with wonderful people many conservatives but the cost of living was atrocious santa ynez has no water water bills approaching 1000 per month are not unheard of and the residential rate in santa barbara for water sewer and trash is 254 00 per month so california has three giant industries which are more or less there because of the beauty and the weather two of them tech and the movie industry could easily be relocated the agricultural industry the one that feeds many of us cannot be readily moved or relocated it is mostly dependent on the weather soil and water california naturally has so just how much tax revenue does california send into the federal government compared to what they get back while it is true that california provides a little excess revenue it is not that much i chose a couple of normal or non covid years to make comparisons in 2019 what california sent in was maybe 4 more than they received you can play with this map and see all of the liberal states which love to tax and redistribute their citizens income balance of payments portal rockefeller institute of government can we live without hollywood yes can we live without technology from silicon valley probably not can we live without the food california grows no i used to love california that was back in the reagan days maybe schwarzenegger days now it has become a taxing regulatory expensive nightmare traffic is horrible the roads are horrible crime and homelessness are mired in the cities the cost of everything is terrible insurance rates utility rates medical procedures just the cost of doing business with all the government red tape and skim in short california has become noncompetitive the only thing they produce better than anyone else is red tape and tax skim they are very good at that i don t know how you turn around a frankenstein government like california s the six richest families folks like the gettys understand that to keep the hoi polloi from stringing them up you must keep the free shit army well fed medicated and pretend to care about them this is accomplished by marching a few political stooges out there to administer your survival politics and make someone else pay for it this is the role of folks like pelosi and newsome could america live without california i wouldn t want to but we could sure live without all of those assholes who are currently running things at june 12 2025 1 comment email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest thursday may 29 2025 we were here first the sunday collage
