Steve’s Barking; Big shocker in Democratic Senate Primary in Florida

 There was a big shocker in the Florida Democratic primary!

 I’m not talking about the Democratic Socialist Nixon beating  the Democratic favorite; that’s true, but to me the bigger shocker is that she won and did it with a minuscule war chest. That is extremely rare; the Democratic Socialist have generally have had a larger cash flow from contributions than the regular Democrat establishment. This seems to be a first.

Steve’s Barking; Why do they call Democratic Socialists progressives

 Why do they call the Democratic Socialists progressives when they seem regressive? !!!

 The Democratic Socialists backed a candidate who seems to not believe in the co- mingling of the races.

 The Democratic Socialists backed a candidate who has a swastika tattoo.

 The Democratic Socialists hide their earnings.

 The Democratic Socialists complain about immigration not having open borders, but complain that Israel should not exist. When Israel is an immigration state.

 

Steve’s Barking; I only know 10% of history, yet I know more then a person who knows more then 10%

 OK… I only know 10% of history, yet I know more than a person who knows more than me. That makes no sense at all. That must be one of the stupidest things this blogger has ever written. 

 I know more because I’m willing to look and I investigate what I don’t know. I challenge what I think I know. Do those who believe they know it all do that? 

 If you look on U Tube, you would never know that. 

 If you hear lectures on certain so-called historical events, do you take it for granted that the lecturer knows all the facts?

 I question a lot of the (so-called) facts that I was taught and even look high and low to find out.

 ***********************************************************************************

 Much of history, I believe, is fantasy that has been enabled by the victor or the vanquished. 

Steve’s Barking; Is universal healthcare good for a capitalist society?

 If I ran a business, in my crazy way of thinking, I would want my government to pay for universal healthcare. 

 Why, you may ask? 

 Easy…. Maybe my taxes would go up, but my business cost in all probability would be reduced.

 That’s crazy thinking. As a business owner, you presently don’t have to pay for healthcare.

 Ah, but I say to myself, if I don’t have health insurance for my employees, how am I going to retain them?

 Is it good for the employee? 

 Maybe…..It depends on how the government runs or misses running the program.

 Should the government subcontract the program to various private vendors? After all, competition usually makes for better programming.

 The question then isn’t whether the purpose of business is to make as much money as possible.

 Ah, but doesn’t competition force the price to go down and the service to be better?

 Answer ….Maybe, ….Sometimes it does, and sometimes it doesn’t.

 If you listen to the pundits on American television, America has a much better healthcare system than the European socialist healthcare systems, even though the socialist Europeans tend to live longer.

It may be bad for businesses  because some employees stay at a firm because of the fringe benefits of health insurance.

Steve’s Barking; An other take on government run grocery stores. Questions.

  I, living in NYC, see that my mayor sees a problem with groceries that in many cases the people of his city can’t afford. It appears to me that he decided that it would be a good idea to have city-run grocery stores. 

 There are problems with this. 

 (1) You collect no taxes from city-run anything.

 (2) It would appear that private-run stores would help subsidize their competition with city-run grocery stores.

 Will some of them close up shop (depriving the city of needed tax revenue)?

 (3) What union will the employees of these city-run grocery stores belong to? I’m sure that there would be competition and complaining among the unions.

 (4) How honest will the inspectors of food safety be? 

 Will they worry about their jobs and therefore not do an honest job?

  I probably left several things out.

 The true reason I’m writing this is because we do things without thinking things through, and hopefully, someone who happens to come across this blog will think of the adverse conditions that happen when you try correcting a conceived problem that may bring about other problems.

Steve’s Barking; The grass is greener ? Continual movement of we humans of were we live

 It has come to the attention of this goofy blogger that we humans like to change where we live. 

 Why do I say such a  foolish thing.

 I look at immigration statistics.

 I look at neighborhoods and how they change, from one demographic to another.

 I look at conquering armies that colonize the place that they conquer. The colonizers moved from their place to a new land.

 I’ve been taught that we all came from Africa  I guess that means that the first humans were looking for a better place to live. 

************************************************************************************* 

 Many of those who live in these places that others want to move to, scream bloody murder of the changing demographics not realizing that they or their ancestors changed the landscape when they  moved in.

************************************************************************************

 Oh damn, another hard to understand blog, that even the blogger is in a fog as to “exactly” what he’s trying to say. 

Steve’s Barking; Is that add for memory retention with famous actors AI generated?

 I’m having memory problems. I’m not ashamed to admit it.

 Of course, foolish me asked AI, “Is there anything I can do about it?”

 Of course, I get several ads telling me that there is a lemon recipe that wipes away some crazy growth in the front of the brain.

 If it was only that cheap and simple.

 Question I have is: do actors like Clint Eastwood really endorse this product, or is their testimony strictly AI?

 If it’s strictly AI, do they know about it? 

 If they know about it, are they suing?

 

 These ads all talk about the greed of the pharmaceutical industry.

 These ads seem to suggest that their lemon recipe needs a secret ingredient from Japan that only they can supply. 

 I wonder what the astronomical cost is?

 

 I’m tempted to press the button and find out, but I’ve been conned once too often, and there is a good chance that these ads aren’t on the up and up.
