Steve’s Barking; Word games

 I’m too old for the latest word games! Political that is!

 What is

  Woke= Something that’s politically historical correct according to comatose people.

  Medicare for all= A fu system that we senior citizens have that charges you over and over again for medical services.( my translation what they mean is a single payer.

   Defund the police= No more policing after all the mystical social worker can defuse any situation. ( translation there are some terrible police officers so let’s spend money on something else not necessarily on taking all the money from the police).

  Goat= Greatest of all time ( I really had to translate this, in most of my life a goat besides being an animal was the athlete that screwed up big-time!

  Antfa= They tell me that some sort of anti fascist organization, though the only place that they seem to be is in Portland Oregon.( And what’s wrong with being anti fascist, didn’t we fight a major war against them. Being anti fascist seems to be like being anti communist).

  Am I the only one who is so confused by the new meanings of old words and expressions or is it just being an old f**t.

   

Steve’s Barking; The Anarchist are coming, the anarchist are coming, no they’re here

  The Republican Party, or at least those who claim to be Republicans say that they are the party of conservatives, but unfortunately the Republican were taken over by people who say that America is Taxed Enough Already or as they abbreviate their name to the TEA Party. Now these I’m a selfish bastard parties aren’t conservatives, they are just the opposite, they are anarchist. Now as every school boy knows anarchist are just the opposite of conservatives, they don’t believe in government. They are self righteous, who will not do anything for the good of all that government decrees, for all government is bad( I agree that these anarchist are in charge of is bad).They complain about what they call the socialist will destroy America, but they are the true destroyers of the USA.

Steve’s Barking; Too little oil bad for oil producing countries?

  What would happen if too little oil is taken out of the ground? Let’s start with the preposition that the price of oil will go up. Now as any good student of economics will tell you if the price of something goes up an alternative is looked for. Well the alternative is electric cars, solar panels for electric heating of homes. Sooo no matter how much oil you have in the ground the lesser it will be needed, so it may not be a good idea to under produce oil.

Steve’s Barking; The real American Taliban

  Be real American Taliban aren’t Muslims, They could be atheists or Orthodox Christians. What they have in common with the Taliban from Afghanistan is that they hate the American government. Instead of using car bombs and suicide bombers they use semi-automatic guns.

Steve’s Barking; DC 51

 There is a call for the District of Columbia to be the 51st state of the United States. After all there are 700,000 people living in the nations capitol and only 650,000 persons in Wyoming because we don’t count sheep. Now on the surface making Washington the 51st state would seem like a good idea. Equal representation after all is the democratic way. Hold on, I live in a state that has over 18 million people, Texas, Florida, and California have a whole lot more. We all have only two Senators each and of the two branches of congress, I have to say the senate unfortunately is more powerful.

 Now most of those who are pushing for the DC to be the 51st state have a problem with the electoral college. After all the electoral college is unfair to the will of the people.  Certain states might have more weight in electing the president of the United States then other states. Now this is true in making laws, states with fewer people have as much larger say in the senate then states with larger populations. Why do those who complain about the unfairness of the electoral college want to strengthen another unfair(?) system?

 Now I’m all for Washingtonians to have a voice in the federal government, but I think it might be fairer if they were citizens of Virginia or perhaps Maryland!

 * Perhaps we should get rid of the Senate 😁🤡🤡. That would equalize all states.

Steve’s Barking; The coming(non) hyper inflation

 Oh I’ve heard it again, the printing of money is going to cause the worst inflation this country has ever seen. This is explained by some serious sounding person who (along with hundreds of thousands) predicted the housing bubble, recession of 2008. Of cause this person who is predicting this hyper inflation either works or is the boss of this really prestigious firm and sometimes he in the economics department of a real prestigious university.

 Ok, let me repeat what I’ve written about so many times before, the money that the Federal Reserve is printing(?) is actually replacing money that the country has burned. Now if you happen to stumble on this blog and you don’t understand what I’m saying tough.

  Now my understanding that most inflation is more of a supply and demand phenomenon and that includes the inflation of the Weimar Republic (Sorry the hyper inflation had little to do with the supper printing of money but the strict austerity forced on it by the victorious allies in World War I).

  What no one seems to talk about is the pockets of high inflation in places like NYC and San Francisco, plus places that struck it rich in the oil boom areas of the country. No one says gee their are an awful lot of stock that are inflated.( In case you don’t understand I’m trying to explain that their are pockets of inflation that no one seems to put it in their mindset). (There are also places that are in deep recession in the farm belt).

 Maybe on another day I’ll try to explain in logical terms on the Nixon, Reagan inflation stagflation.

 

 

 

Steve’s Barking; When progressive is really regressive!

 Defund the police, so say it a group of persons who call themselves progressives. Now the true progressive would say add money for training to reduce injuries to the public. Add money to for psychologists as the suicide rate and depression has gone up among police officers.

 In New York City they want to close Rikers Island prison system of seven prisons for four smaller jails. One of the reason the people who call themselves progressive is that it would be easier for relatives to visit the incarcerated as if a person from the Bronx is accused of a crime in Brooklyn or the other way around. In smaller prisons how do you protect inmates from each other? How do you segregate gang members? How do you protect staff and other prisoners from the mentally ill? One would think that having seven prisons that it’s possible to have one prison being repaired while 5 or 6 are in operation. No 4 separate prisons in 4 different Burroughs isn’t progressive it’s really regressive tied up in a pretty bow.

 How can anyone but me argue about safety bike lane with barriers. The way I see it those barriers slow traffic down, spewing carbon monoxide into the air. The same people who call themselves progressive, most of them are all for reducing carbon in the air because of climate change. Am I wrong in thinking that barriers to protect bicyclist are regressive not progressive?

 *Am I wrong in thinking what some call progressive thinking is really regressive?
