Steve's Barking; A roll with a hole in it doesn't make it a. bagel

There are lots of so called bagels out there. You can buy them opinion grocery stores that call there rolls with holes in them bagels. They weren't boiled before baking, therefore there not bagels.
There are people who like to call themselves conservative who complain about liberals. They automatically call someone who is a Democrat a liberal.
Well, the truth be known the last liberal in the White House was a Republican, and no President Carter and Clinton were moderate conservatives who had a couple of progressive ideas.
What about President Obama, wasn't he liberal. In my opinion he was just slightly to the left of Presidents Carter and Clinton.
We make generalizations about people, oh he's German, therefore he's a Nazi.
We make generalizations that in most cases aren't true.
Just because a roll has a hole in the middle doesn't make it a bagel.

Steve's Barking; The free enterprise system needs government

Despite what many think the free enterprise system needs government almost as much as it needs a form of capitalist system.

There are too many people who believe that government is a hindrance to the free enterprise system, but the facts get in the way.

If government just stopped monopolies that would be enough to prove the free enterprise system needs government.

If government stopped stealing that would be enough to prove that the free enterprise system needs government.

If government only enforced copyright laws, that would be enough to prove that government is needed for the free enterprise system.

If government encouraged lending to new companies in existing businesses, that would be enough to prove that government is needed for a free enterprise system.

Steve's Barking; The'll be shutting the hospitals

Passing the American Health Care Act will put probably put a third of all hospitals in America out of business. Ya didn't see that coming.
As I do recall Medicaid subsidizes hospitals along with doctor training, so I guess there's going to be less doctors too, along with fewer hospitals.
I guess we really don't need them doctors, after all we have those new things called walk in clinics.
Oh yea there subsidized by Medicaid. I just guess the poor subsidize the up middle income, or in other parlance the takers subsidize those middle income persons who call themselves conservatives.

Steve's Barking; The only absolute monarchies are...

In my opinion the only absolute monarchies left on our plant are Saudi Arabia and North Korea...
Think about it!

Steve's Barking; What is Commie Lite

Commie Lite is something I made up.
I took the money economic system out of communism and took only the political system.
Dictatorial, and trying to crush the opposition in lies.
Complaining, insisting that those who oppose what they are about aren't truth tellers.
Whining that the system isn't fair.
Claiming that they and only they will help the proletariat. What have you go to lose (only your Chains). ( Sounds like Trump(ism) )
Blame others for your own faults.
Sound like a ten year old, after all he started.
The communist countries would have the adverb democratic before there name, the commie lites call themselves the opposite of what they are. (Freedom Caucus, Federalist, Constitutionalist  etc, ect,ect.).
What I really call these modern day commies is Commie  Bas***ds lite, which America's modern conservative movement has taken over.

Steve's Barking; Oh no they also have guns

There is a group and in American society who bullies and believes that they can get away with it, after all those darn liberals want to take away our guns.
This past week a gun "nut" from the left shot a gun nut from the right. The left dude was tired of bullying from the right. Of cause the bullies blamed the bullied. I guess America's right might be called Commie light.

Steve's Barking; Foarting down (the)Amazon

Amazon ( the company, not the river) is buying Whole Foods.
Report on a business channel, this is bad supermarkets.
Problem with that thinking. Supermarkets are also small margin business.
If Amazon borrows to buy Whole Foods that's a problem, if they use profits to buy Whole Food that's also a problem because Amazon's profits are slim compared to earnings.
Amazon is buying a a Supermarket that's running into trouble because all supermarkets are selling organic foods. They are selling it cheaper then Whole Foods.
Amazon has a great reputation of delivering goods.
All supermarkets are getting into delivery of food stuff.
Question how many consumer will want food delivered, especially produce without seeing it and feeling it first.
Can Amazon intimidate major brands to lower their prices?
Isn't Whole Foods losing customers for shoddy businesses practices?
Is the Whole Food customer the same as the Amazon customer?
Will the local farmer be intimidated by he New Whole Foods?
Can German Supermarkets undercut Whole Foods prices and quality?

Can Amazon survive high interest rates?
Is Amazon becoming a company that's too big to fail?

Steve's Barking; What the Bill Cosby trial should really be about

I' m disappointed with the Bill Cosby trial.
The real trial should have been about repressed memory and false memory.
If a person had such a terrible experience they would repress that experience. Rape would fall into that category. Seeing something in the paper could trigger that memory.
False memory, or a memory of something that really didn't happen. Hysterical  things bring about memories that really didn't happen. My life isn't what I thought it would be. Oh that person as charged as a rapist. He ( she) must of raped.
This was big in the 90s were there was a large amount of people who claimed that they were raped by
their parents. After much investigation most of these claims proved wrong.
There were several psychiatrists who made a very good living make people believe that they were sexually abused by their parents.
This could be true in the Cosby case.

Steve's Barking; What if we didn't use the name Trump?

What would happen if our newscast never used the President's name, but would just use the term our president. Or the president of the United States. Would this change the way America is governed?
Whould this be a punishment for the the present president.
Everyone knows the name of the president of the United States, why do we need to call him by his name?

Steve's Barking; Hillary didn't lose the election because of the Russians!t

Hillary didn't lose the election the several weeks leading up to election eve, she lost the election in 2008 when she attacked Senator Obama, this wasn't forgotten by many African Americans despite support of African American leaders.
Hillary Clinton didn't lose the election becomes Comey, she lost the election when she said yes to taking the job of Secretary of State. Every mistake (perceived mistake) was magnified. If she wanted to be president she should have stayed senator.

Steve's Barking; There's just too many people in NYC

The conventional wisdom is if people want to come and live in your area that's a good thing.
If you don't believe me just look at the reverse when people leave your area there's panic.
Well I'm starting to panic , there is probably one million more souls in NYC then the infrastructure can handle. We have probably one of the best rapid transits in the world, but because we have too move so many people we can't handle it. One of our major problems is breaking down of our train system and it's almost impossible to fix properly.
If a person wants to take a car, oh darn it will take several hours for a fifteen minute trip.
Too much of our schools are in dilapidated schools, because we have so many students we can't move  students around.
NYC is probably the only place in America that the shopping mall is packed. If your store can't make it here, it can't make it anywhere. Well that means even when you shop you treated like a sardine.
There are so many people, that those who clean the office toilets can't find housing. Boy those bathroom in offices are going to stink.

Me of mixed emotions, I love my city, and I want everyone to love my city, but I have no idea what we should do for the extra million people and possibly soon it may grow to an extra two million.
