Steve’s Barking; Ok Director Patel where’s my money

 The other day, FBI director said in front of the Senate that the FBI had taken back a billion dollars from scammers of senior citizens, and that if I’m not mistaken, it was easy to trace the scammers.

 OK, director Patel, where’s the $50,000 that I was scammed out of?

 And why when I called the FBI did they say that it wasn’t their job?

 Why do I think you were committing perjury in front of Congress? Hmmmm.

 

Steve’s Barking; Hutu captured Island, what about carpet

 This stupid blogger doesn’t understand. The Hutus captured an island that prevents shipping in the Red Sea. During WWII, there was a thing called carpet bombing. You would think ( or at least I would) that carpet bombing of said island would open the shipping lanes up. Ah, but what do I know?

Steve’s Barking; Which is worse 400,000 or 4 billion dollars?

 Oh no, another hard-to-figure-out question.

 The real question is this: more detrimental, a professor making between $ 300 to $ 400 thousand dollars or a  person worth over several million dollars?

 The professor is in a school of higher education that, in some cases, charges over $100,000 a year for a student to attend. The billionaire, who, in almost all cases, is worth based on assets that are owned by him, is also owned by pensions and, in many cases, retirement portfolios, thereby helping society. Where, in this crazy blogger’s reasoning  the high salaries of professors can be detrimental.

Steve’s Barking; Winning lottery is a great deal for the state

 The state is the big winner when a person wins a decent amount from the lottery.

 First, it makes money on every ticket sold in the state.

 Second, it wins on the taxes that are paid on a decent amount of winnings.

 The state can’t be unhappy if someone from that state wins a huge amount unless it had no income tax; then it only gets money once.

Steve’s Barking: Is Ai the death or is it the new life of humans.???

 This seems like a dumb question: is AI the death of us humans or new life? 

 Of course, it’s the death of us humans if the rogue AI doesn’t kill us, as some who have worked in the industry indicate that there is a ten percent or greater possibility of that. The other thing that there seems to be a consensus on is that it will take away most of the jobs, depriving almost everyone of the ability to make money to survive. We will all die.

 Now, this old crazy blogger was thinking that AI’s major purpose is to figure things out that we mortals have a hard time or can’t.

 Can’t we program the AI data centers not to go rogue? 

 Can’t we program the AI data centers to come up with a way that all us humans can make a living?

 While we’re at it, maybe we can get the data centers to figure out climate control that we mortals can’t seem to do.

 Perhaps the AI data centers can figure out how to eradicate diseases.

 This not-so-bright blogger thought these were the reasons that we are creating these data centers.

 

 

Steve’s Barking; Does printing money create inflation?

  This crazy blogger says…….No! 

  Well, maybe. It depends (no, I don’t mean the ladies’ underwear).

  Me, being a strong believer in inflation being caused by too much money chasing too few goods.

  The problem with printing money is the great possibility that no one will want it because it is too…too easy to get.

  The problem sometimes of not printing money is that factories, buildings, and other things that are essential in life can’t be built. That in itself makes inflation. Too few goods!

  This crazy blogger has another stupid question…What may that be, you may ask.

  If borrowing money several times over (what the hell is this blogger writing about now) is that the same as printing money? 

  

Steve’s Barking; Is some talk shows and podcasts the new World Wrestling show.?

 Is it just my imagination or am I seeing more and more talk shows and guest acting just like the wrestlers behave on the World Wrestling circuit?
