Steve’s Barking; Taxes are inflationary 😱👎

 Taxes are inflationary. Oh not in the usual way one thinks of inflation, the price of goods and services going up. No I’m stating something that’s very different. I’m stating that if your an hourly workers a person you’ll have to put in more time. If your taxes go up on your interest you’ll have less money ( your money deflated)  and if you are using the money 💴 in the bank 🏦 thus the purchase you make from the savings decreases and thus the cost of said goods and services has gone up (huh 😯) ? Suppose you pay capital gains the money that a person 🧍 receives that perhaps 🤔 that personage is using it to buy goods or services, it would then cost more then the if it was purchased before the raise in taxes, ( wtf 😬) nah..

Thinking 🤔 out loud on paper

Something that’s kind of insignificant 

Steve’s Barking : What if Israel isn’t the prime actor in the explosions Hezbollah pager explosions ?

 Oh my… another crazy theory by this insane blogger. 

 It’s quite possible that Israel was not the primary culprit in the pagers and Walkie talkie explosions.

 I know I must be crazy, but I’m pretty confident that there is a religious civil war in the moslem world.

 There is also a hatred of the Palestinians in Lebanon by the Lebanese by many indications.

 It could be quite easy for Take your pick Issis sympathizers, Sunni haters of Shites or visa versa, Arab haters of Iran, or even Iranians who believe that Hezbollah.  and Hamas have become too powerful.

Any number of these groups could have easy access to the importation and warehousing of pagers and walkie talkies. Well with a “little” help from Israel, bam, exploding walkie talkies and pages.

Question…. Does Iran really 100% back Hamas? After all Hamas is Sunni and Iran is Shite?

 Question…. Does the average Iranian back an Arab group like Hezbollah?

Question …. Could it possible that Selah Al-Arouri was killed by a group in Lebanon that had a grudge against him with the assist of Israel?

Question… Could Ismail Haniyeh been killed by Iranians who felt he was becoming too powerful?

I base some of these theories on the fact of groups like Al Quadra who wanted to rule the Muslim world, the same is true for Issis fighting Al Quadra. The civil in Syria. Iranians trying to take over the Mecca.

I’m sure that there’s much more examples.

I base the theory that the explosives in the pages and the walkie talkies would be exceedingly difficult to bring into Lebanon but not to be taken apart in the ware houses in Lebanon by trusted employees, or even smuggled in from Israel and replaced those with bogus ones that are timed to explode.

Steve’s Barking: Does business need government, especially taxes

💁 Ta hear some prognosticators, government is the Villain of business. I have even heard some goofball economist say that taxes have never created businesses. These  buffoons don’t know💩. Taxes pay for the roads that make  the shipping of goods cheaply. If it weren’t for taxes there would be no space X or other private space explorations that haven’t quite innovated past what government has done.  Would Tesla be as successful as it is if it wasn’t for the subsidies that we taxpayers gave it? Would we have micro wave ovens if it were for us taxpayers? ( the answer is no). Would there be intellectual theft if it wasn’t for us taxpayers? 

Now I understand that some people might be a little upset in what they perceived as handouts. Do these idiots understand that first thing about business, 👩‍💼 naw they haven’t the foggiest idea that by giving food stamps help create a market that produces more food. Speaking of food helping the farmers also helps keep the price of food down. Helping the poor helps with the creation of jobs for the middle, creating wealth for those who invested in businesses such as Home Depot.

My gut hates paying taxes, but my Brain say it’s more of a benefit then a hindrance, even though I’m not getting money directly.  

Steve’s Barking; Trying to see the Universe as is.

 Seeing the Universe as four or even three dimensional is extremely difficult. Most of us know that the universe is three or as some of us believe four dimensional but because we see only two dimensional some of us fight with ourselves to understand the universe.

Steve’s Barking; Am I a Communist? I was in the US Army.

 The way the goofy presidential campaign is going one of the presidential candidates call the other Comrade as if the word designates some one who is a communist. Hell that must mean that all of us that severed in the US military are communist be course we called those who served with us comrade ( in arms) Now that I am no longer in the military and in the American Legion we sometimes call each other Comrade, does that make us communist even though persons like myself believe in the free market system?

Steve’s Barking; Dow goes up, the price of oil goes up 🙀

 Hmmm….. I been noticing that when the stock market goes 📈 up it seems that the price of oil 🛢️seems to rise. It also seems to be true of government bonds. When the stock market 📉 goes down so does the price of oil 🛢️. Hmmm 🤔 maybe what we think 💭 is a little wrong 😑. Maybe 🤔 it’s the same money being parked it different markets.

Steve’s Barking: What’s the matter with the US constitution?

😱 It has come to my attention that we Americans have a problem understanding the constitution of the United States. If we read it and try to decipher what is written we might, understand it, but that would be too difficult for our feeble minds. The constitution before the amendments is not the law of the land as 99% of the people of my great country seems to think. The fact of the matter is that the constitution in reality is a job description. But of course, reading the constitution would take time and understanding a grade school student would understand. But we, my great citizens of this great land are too lazy, they would rather listen to what somebody else tells him the constitution says. If you were to look at the constitution before the amendments, you would realize that it’s not a set of laws but a set of job descriptions. It states what the president is supposed to do, it tells what Congress is supposed to do and it tells what the court is supposed to do. 

 Now we come to the amendments, There are so many people in the United States that have no idea what the amendments spell out. 

 Yes we have freedom of speech to criticize the government, but no were does the Constitution says that you can libel or slander a person. We have freedom of government forced religion but your religion can’t practice human Sacrifice.

 Nowhere in the constitution does it say that every Tom, Dick, Harry and Sally too can have weapons.  It very specific, A well regulated militia being necessary.

 The first two amendments I just mentioned are the ones that are the ones that are most talked about in the  present day.

I love those who talk of how the founding fathers believed as though the first leaders of my country were of one mind, I wonder what history books those making those claims read?

 Is it me or didn’t one of our founding fathers ( Thomas Jefferson) states that the constitution should be rewritten every 35 years.

Steve’s Barking: ADP Vs Labor Jobs report Augest 2024

 The Job repots are out. ADP reported 99,000 new Jobs for August, Labor department reported 142,000 New Jobs for August. If you look at the numbers, the labor Department reported 1/3 more jobs. It may be insignificant because both ADP and the labor department report so few (?) new jobs for Augest.

Steve’s Barking; Is 45 the new Cromwell

 WTF 🤬 do I mean is Trump the new Cromwell. Well my brain 🧠 is telling me that the Donald shook up the old system in US politics that a great many of the citizens wanted, But there really isn’t a political party and the populist agenda is different things to different people. Now if my historical memory serves me correctly that seems to be Cromwellian ( new word). In other words the apoplexy will long for the old system when he’s gone. The fact of the matter there are some ex followers of him that long for the old ways now.

Oh 💩 , what Steve’s Barking about now!!! (?)

Steve’s Barking: Beware of helicopter CEOs!!!!

 Alright all you investors out there and you poor unfortunate works…beware of those darn CEOs who have know what’s happening 24/7.Who criticize and gets into everyone’s work.

(1) They make everyone nervous and if the workers are nervous most are bound to make mistakes.

(2) They can very easily take away innovation that’s not their own.

(3) They tend to take away from their product, too much focusing on themselves.

(4)  They tend to hinder the company and possibly destroying the company, because they brainwash the workers and investors that they can’t function without the omnipresent CEO. (There are exceptions such as Apple (MAYBE).

The helicopter CEO is worse then the helicopter parent!!!!!!

Steve’s Barking; Money doesn’t make the world go round

 For all you dummies out there, money doesn’t make the world go round. Nooo the winner of elections doesn’t always have the most money. It doesn’t matter how much money you have in the war chest, it’s how you use it and what your message is.

 I look at myself, there are so many people who have 5 times my net worth yet I’m in better shape then they are. I’m even in better shape then most in my age bracket who pull more then double what I take home from their IRA and 401Ks. That’s because I have a pension and Social Security that covers all my expenses and allows me to help my children and grandchildren plus bank some. In case you are curious, my income is just south of $90,000. Now that may seem a lot to many and that may seem so little to many more.

 The reason I’m writing this maybe misunderstood  statement is that in our present state of affairs we some how think of money in a way that isn’t helpful. We don’t think of money to different members of society but we equate money as the same.
