Steve’s Barking; Texas , no water anywhere

 I understand many a person are or are considering to move to Texas because it’s a cheap place to live because of a low tax rate. Now I also understand there is a major drought in Texas. I also understand that Texas is encouraging AI data center to come on down even though these AI data centers need a Stupendous amount of water. 💧 

There are two things that bewilder me. (1) Were in Texas are these AI centers going to get all the water that it’s going to need. (2) Are the people whom go to Texas because of Taxes willing to dehydrate for the lack of water 💧🤔 to not pay high taxes?

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

 Are those companies making a mistake to relocating factories to Texas with the lack of water and a collapsing electrical grid.

Steve’s Barking; To sum, cut back in income is the same as inflation

 


 Most of us don’t think of it, especially those who just look at the price of goods and service, but to many of us the cutting of income, weather it’s from the pay, your pension, Social Security, or even mentally the loss of value of investments ( mentally) your ability to purchase and or save is reduced. This is the same as  if the price of goods  and services rises, this to the consumer is the same as inflation.

 The reason I’m writing this is because us retires in the not to distant future will be hurt by the reduction in the moneys we get from Social Security and this will be the same as the cost of goods and services rise.


Steve’s Barking; AI …..Predator or dud?

 


I keep hearing that AI ( artificial intelligence)  in robots and computers can out think humans and actually do things only animals can do and that is reasoning and thinking. These things ( I don’t know what else to call them ) can out think us humans and if we’re not careful they will take over the world, kind of like the movie predator ( The Arnold Schwarzenegger movie) and we humans will become obsolete.

 Now I understand that there is a minority train of thought that AI can only go so far and then it will soon reach it capacity that it will just be able to calculate faster us humans and help us manipulate are thinking by movies and photos. That in the next couple of years this will hit a stone wall.

 Now this blogger is bright enough to figure what is next and I’m one of those who use AI only to look up facts that may or may not be manipulated by humans and or machines.

Steve Barking Do ya really trust US government statistics?

 


Do you really trust statistics by a group of people who would lose their jobs if they gave lousy figures.??
There are an awful lot of fools out there who believe what ever the government says, even though those giving  the reports would lose their jobs if it shows too much negative numbers.
 The current U.S. labor statistics seems to this old fool like the numbers that came out of the old Soviet Union,

Steve’s barking; Don’t care about Super Bowl Half time show

 

This idiot couldn’t care less about the Super Bowl halftime show. I turn in to watch a football game and the damn halftime show is way way too long, no matter who the entertainer is. 

 If I wanted to see a musical performance I’ll go to U Tube music. The half time show takes away from the game. The half time show twice or more then normal halftime and it seems to me it interferes with the mindset of some of the teams.

Steve’s Barking; What about the seventh largest market cap stock

 


My understanding that the seventh largest market cap stock is Tesla today.
 My understanding that the seventh largest market cap stock in 2000 was Enron
 Maybe that why I don’t give much credence to the worth of Tesla.

Steve’s Barking; Is Donald Trump a Republican Socialist?

 Wtf, Donald Trump a Republican Socialist. First of all how can one be a Republican and a Socialist at the same time. Well Mr. Trump says put a cap on credit card interest rates, that’s kind of like what a Democratic Socialist would say. Donald says that drug companies charge too much so let’s pressure the drug companies to drop the price of drugs, now isn’t that what a democratic socialist would say? 

 Hold on, is this blogger saying that the president of America is a socialist and not really a Republican or is the President of the United States trying to turn the Republican Party, which I’m told he represents from a Conservative Party to a populist party.

 Nah this bloggers is just making fun of ( not very good I might add)  what we call socialist, populist and sometimes conservative is crazy.

 Good thing this blogger doesn’t have too many followers, because what he just wrote is kind of hard to understand.
