Steve’s Barking; That ain’t tough enough

Calling your  enemies names an thinking that’s tough just  doesn’t  cut it.
Hurting yourself ( business or country) because you don’t get your way is tough, it’s plan stupid.
The truly tough people are the ones who can ignore their friends and  allies and can reason to do what’s he or she thinks is best.  Doesn’t give a damn what those close to him or her think or say.

Steve’s Barking; Maybe public pension funds don’t want to get caught short

The past year up until October Public Pension funds were having a good year.
Then in October Russian sanctions were demanded by congress.
Shortly there after the administration said that Chinese shouldn’t hold any tech stock for fear of stealing secrets 😂 the markets took a bigger downturn.
The markets went down perchance by these measures.
Perhaps because the markets lost value in institutional investors panicked(?) bringing about the Grinch downturn.

Steve’s Barking; Build that freaken wall

Hay Mr. President have a 1dollar tax on every person who enters and leave the country.
Have a dollar tax for every vehicle ( train, planes and automobiles) that leave the country.
You get on the television, and Twitter and tell the nation we need this for security.
Next you use this tax for security of building a wall.
Aha, Mexico helped pay for the wall.
Now I think the wall is a stupid idea, that will hurt Texas’ economy.
But I’m angry at some Texans, who made me an honorary southerner, but refused to make me an honorary  Texan.

Steve’s Barking: It’s Dec 14th 2018 and were in the 5th year of the depression

The U.S. farms  and rural areas are in a recession.
One can not blame the current president on it but he did make it worse.
The price of agriculture has gone down.
The decent paying jobs that were in the rural counties that were there at the turn of the century have vanished.
The last time the urban centers were booming and the rural area was not in deep recession was in the roaring 20s, just before the Great Depression.

Steve’s Barking; Are we overpaying for University education?

My question is are we overpaying for our University education?
We complain that we are overcharged for our healthcare.
We complain that we pay too much in taxes (some of which helps pay for our higher education).
Why don’t we complain that we pay too much for our higher education?
And while I’m at it why are so many people who know everything need higher education anyway?


It’s not just this up and coming generation that knows everything, for this old fart who has gotten stupider with age knew it all, and now I know how little I really know. I realize that I must have become stupider as I aged.

Steve’s Barking; What right have we not to be uncomfortable

If you are a human being, you will make people uncomfortable.
If you have a tattoo there are some people who will find you threatening.
If you are white there are people who  feel that you are threatening, the same is true if you are black.
If a man looks at a woman, that woman might feel threaten by the way you look at her, feeling that she’s a sex object.
There are some men ( including straight men) who feel uncomfortable by a woman who there not related too kissing and hugging them.
Some people are uncomfortable finding that the person in front of them are using food stamps.
There are people who are uncomfortable with other people who speak a different language in front of them.
What about people who talk  liberal gibberish, or conservative gibberish, liberals are offended and feel uncomfortable  by so called conservatives, and conservatives are offended and uncomfortable  by liberals.
I know I left a lot of uncomfortable things that a small minorities are offended by.
It’s part of life to be uncomfortable and offended. We are humans not cows.
