Steve’s barking; Will we all starve to death

 Crazy me following YouTube so-called doctors, talking about what not to eat. The problem is it depends on the doctor. Each of these men and women  claims that they and their colleagues are telling us non-medical personnel that pasta is bad for you. It shortens your lifespan, shortens your memory. You have to be careful of what kind of fruit you eat. This one contains too much sugar, that one messes with your kidneys or your heart. Red meat shortens your lifespan.(Some people say it lengthens your lifespan. Go figure.) Several doctors(?) on the internet say don’t eat bread.(Some say white, some say whole wheat, others say rye, while others say don’t eat bread at all.)
 Ah, but it’s safe to eat fish as long as it isn’t farmed-raised, because who knows what the farmers feed their fish? Oh, you shouldn’t eat shellfish because they live in the bottom of the sea, where all the garbage goes. So it must be safe to eat fish with scales that swim freely, except they eat plastic that is thrown into the sea and that will poison your brain.
 Well, it seems that at least we can eat vegetables. Oh, wait a minute, don’t farmers put pesticides on them? Surely that will poison you. What about those who claim they don’t put pesticides on their vegetables? Can  you really trust big industrial farms? And who in the world can afford vegetables from local farmers who don’t use pesticides?
 In conclusion, according to YouTube doctors, you can’t eat anything, therefore you have to starve to death.

Steve’s Barking; Election money and the law of diminishing returns

 Ah it’s election time again in the United States. It means that a fantastic amount of money is being spent on the elections. It means that outside influences are giving as much as the laws allow and then some. Some outside influences don’t give money directly to candidates. Outside influencers buy adds directly .Mostly against a candidate in a fear tactic.
 Now in my judgment when one sees so many adds and direct mailing one gets numb by them and a lot of times it actually has a negative effect. Either by non voting or turn off on the candidate that has inundated the the potential voters.
 Some elections you see million and millions of dollars being spent on several candidates, as if that will get the voters to the polls..
 One has to wonder why so few potential voters stay away from voting when so much money is spent.
 Another thing that bewilders me is when one candidate complains about how much money their opponent has and at the end of the day they spend a third more then their opponent.
 I’ve also noticed that some candidates spend two or three times their opponent and don’t get very many votes. What’s with that?

Steve’s Barking; Tesla and Space moving in opposite directions ( 6/22)

 I maybe be delusional but the past several stock market and after hour sessions it seems to me that when Tesla moves up Space X moves down. When Space X moves up Tesla moves down. 
 Maybe this blogger is delusional. Maybe those buying one of Musk’s companies is selling the other one and visa versa. (Fix).

Steve’s Barking; Question of the day.. Does the U.S. demand instant gratification in the battle with Iran

 Oh damn… What does this crazy blogger mean does the United States demand instant gratification with Iran?
 I’ll try to explain, though it will be hard to understand…..
 The United States along with most of the world is hurting economically because of the easy way the Iranians are making it very difficult for oil tankers to go through the Strait of Hormuz. The price of oil and its products are extremely expensive. Now it may be said that this is bringing hardship on the peoples of the world, especially US citizens. Ah, this is good for those who hold power, especially in the United States.
 So it seems that those in power are kind of panicking and to this goofy blogger they are giving 300 billion dollars and stopping any hostile action against Iran. The United States President is telling its partner in this adventure that it must not protect its citizens by attacking the hostile forces that are in Lebanon because the Iranians will not cease hostilities in the Strait of Hormuz, thus keeping the flow of oil coming to the rest of the world. 
 If what this crazy man has read, the oil producers of that region are building pipelines from their oil fields to other ports thus leaving Iran unable to hurt the supply of oil to the world in about six months. The United States doesn’t seem to have the patience thus surrounding in the battle of Iran and the United States.

Steve’s Barking; Different takeaways from Knicks winning NBA championship 2026

 This blogger takes away from Jalen Brunson. 
 Never doubt yourself. 
 Trust yourself, even when the so-called experts call you too small, too slow. Believe in yourself.
 As a team (and an individual also), keep on pushing and never give up, you too can make a comeback from being down by what seems unsurmountable.
 Teamwork is more important than great individual talent.

Steve’s a barking: What if we treated IPOs like the TV show the price is right ( huh)

 What is this crazy blogger writing about now? Comparing an IPO to a game show. 
 Well, that’s not exactly what I’m getting at. 
 The price that the owners of the stock before the IPO make a killing if (and it does) the price rises extremely high. My idea is just like the game show: the price is right (if you win something like a car), you are charged the full retail of the commodity in taxes (a car loses value as soon as you take it home). Well, the United States needs to help pay off its debt, so why not help pay off the debt by having the so-called gains of the person making the money the first day and possibly months later on the gains, so the rich slob should be treated like the poor slob, and we the people can help pay off our national debt.
