Interesting factoid.
Have Murphy and the D’s demonstrated that socialism doesn’t work?
High taxes are killing every thing.
We’ll see?!

You’ll never restrict something so sufficiently that criminals can’t get it. All you can do is interfere with the lawful man or woman and treat them like a criminal instead.

Sounds serious! No word on how to prevent its spread. Stay away from crowds and public places until it’s over?

Social Security is America’s oldest major social program, and it’s a crucial support for older Americans, a majority of whom depend on it for more than half their income, and a quarter of whom depend on it for almost all their income. The program is structured to look like a pension fund, where what you get out depends on what you paid in, but that’s bit of a Noble Lie. For the most part it’s a pay-as-you-go system, in which Americans of working age support retirees.

Yeah, like anyone who has studied history and economics believe it was not a racist Ponzi scheme. It transfers wealth from poor minority men to rich white women. Argh!
GBWxx wanted to privatize it but was accused of giving a payoff to Wall Street.
If I had all the money that I put into FICA, I’d be rich.
Why can’t it transform into a private savings account?
(Imagine an old minority man leaving his children a legacy of a few bucks.)
…
The answer is that the politicians and bureaucrats would lose a “piggybank” that can be raided for oodles of spending on pet projects.

Adds for Fiji water remind us that the word SPA comes from the Latin “Salus Per Aquam” which means “Health By Water”. There are indeed touted purity and health benefits, none proven scientifically but I must admit that they do seem to taste better and go down a little smoother, although I usually stick with my home grown Eau d’ faucet.

New study by respected Oxford-trained (DPhil) international geological consultant relying on archaeological, astrophysical, geological and palaeoclimatological data covering the last 2,000 years shows it is the Sun, not CO2, that controls global temperature.

For the Deep State, hiding and destroying evidence of guilt is standard operating procedure. They simply report a “glitch” that destroyed the key evidence and that’s the end of it. Or, they simply redact the portions of the record that would expose the truth. To my memory, no one ever suffers any consequences for this.

We’ve been trained to expect and look out for spam emails. But now, scammers are sending realistic-looking text messages (like the one above) posing as shipping and package delivery companies such as FedEx.

Mike Barry , the Dean of the South Texas College of Law, sent an insightful message to the students and faculty concerning the Houston Astros cheating scandal . With his permission, I reproduce it here. — I long have been a fan of baseball.

*** begin quote ***
First, culture starts at the top. Many of you will run your own law firms. Others will rise to prominent positions in government, the judiciary, business, and the legal community. And, regardless of the role you find yourself in, you will be a leader for, at the very least, your clients and your staff. You will set the tone for those who work for you and who work with you.
*** and ***
If the manager – their on-field leader – had told the players to stop, they would have done so. When you are a leader, your action – or your inaction – speaks volumes. What you tolerate, you teach. What you condone, you own. Every leader must set not only a culture of ethical conduct, but must identify and eliminate behavior that deviates from that standard.
*** end quote ***
A wise admonition to all Information Technology executive, especially those in Information Security and Disaster Recovery.
I’ve worked in and gotten “downsized” for expressing a factual opinion that the top leadership was being mislead as to the organization’s capabilities — to resist being hacked, the capabilities / capacities of new systems, as well as the organization’s ability to recover from a catastrophic failure.
Sure, being downsized stung. But I went to Catholic school, where I was taught a standard — would your Mother be proud of you for what you’ve done.
In my book, I observed that “Catholic school taught them that it was their obligation, and could even be a mortal sin, if you didn’t use all your talents to the greater glory of God.” — “Chapter Fifty — Samaritans going to Jericho / Monday November 5, 1962 – Church Day + 17 (continues)” CHURCH 10●19●62 Volume 1 Page 296
Can’t say I’ve always met that standard, but I’d like to think, that more often than not, I did.
It seems that we’d have a much better world if politicians, bureaucrats, and everyone observed that. John Wooden said: “The true test of a man’s character is what he does when no one is watching.”
