Steve’s Barking ; Speak loudly and carry small stick

My president talks tough, threatens various counties. You would think that he was the leader of North Korea, not the United States.
It is my contention that all this posturing From my president and North Korea is really for domestic consumption, rally around our tough leader against these really bad dudes.
When I see the posturing of these tin horn  dictators  ( no I didn’t just call the president of the United States a tin horn dictator) they remind me of a cat I used to have, he would hunch up to make himself  bigger and scarier the he really to  frighten  other cats.

Steve's Barking; The malls are losing business

 Woo is me, there is a slow down of buying at the malls. If I was to believe the economic pundits  it's all because of Amazon and other on line retailers. Now hold on a minute, on retailing takes less then 9% of all retail. What else is happening? More people are retiring, and their income is reduced, while necessary expenses are going up. These are people who have the time to go to the malls.
What about recent (in the last five years) college graduates who are so straddled with debt that they can't make purchases on nonessential items.
I'm just saying that retail in big box stores may have other reasons for slowing down. Ya think?

Has sales at Amazon gone up the same percentage as sales at big box stores gone down?
Is Amazon selling at a loss just to get market share? Or can Amazon selling cheaper because of discounts it gets for buying in bulk for reselling, and the cost of storing, selling and shipping including (especially) the productivity of humans when you don't need associates so much less that it can make a greater profit then a retail store?

Steve's Barking; What's all his fuss about removing statues in the US

What's all the fuss about removing statues in America. 90%of us have no clue who the statues represent. The only useful purpose  of a statue is as a bird toilet.

Steve's Barking; AmerIcan President's invisible job discription

The president of the United States has a job description just like every person who's a worker, or CEO. There is one part of the job discrimination that no one talks about, and therefore those who want the job don't  realize what this dastardly thing is. If they understood this ugly part of being president they might no want the job. I therefore am doing my civic duty to tell anybody who wants the job that part of the job discrimination is to be made fun of by comics. It's also part of the job discription that what every you do and say is going scrutized by the press. You are going to be accused of all kind of dastardly deeds as every president has since George Washington. If you bring family into your in workings, they had better understand along with yourself that everything they do will be scrutinized under a microscope, and they will have a mental colonoscopy and it's not pleasant.
So unless you,and your family have thick skin or are masochist you aren't cut out for the job.

Steve's Barking; Why stocks should go down soon.

On the boob tube pundits will tell you a reason why stocks go up or down.
I'm going to state that there will be selling soon. This is hurricane season, insurance companies will need cash. The stock markets are at all time high. They will sell stock.
