NEWJERSEY: Public-sector unions are, per se, corrupt

Public-sector unions are not the problem
*** begin quote ***
New Jersey’s public employee unions are starting to fight back by doing what working people should have been doing in this country for years. They are taking it to the streets. The teachers were in Trenton last week; today, it was the police and fire unions. Who’s next? As glad as I am to see them take to the street, we have to face the fact that these rallies lack the unity and sense of larger purpose that the Wisconsin fight has had. Workers in the Badger state face the prospect of being stripped of bargaining rights, even after giving the governor every concession he has requested. The issue there is the basic right to organize and act collectively.
*** end quote ***
“New Jersey’s public employee unions” ARE part of the problem. Part!
This a corruption.
These Unions “donate” huge amounts of money to political campaigns. Usually Democratic. They supply free labor. And, muscle.
Then, they turn the page and “negotiate” “agreements” with the politicians that they elected.
It’s always been “wrong”. But, now it’s reached absurd levels.
We need a systemic fix.
IMHO, the Gooferment should not be running or operating anything. And, certainly not extracting wealth from real people by force.

TECHNOLOGY: There’s nothing more frustrating than bouncing email
Saturday, March 5, 2011Don’t you just hate when you “lose” someone? I do. The symptom is that you’ve taken your “eye” off them for a minute and — poof — like Jack in Titanic they’ve slipped beneath the waves. Lost forever. That’s what happens. Guess it’s a fact of life. Emails, especially corporate emails, cease when the person moves on. Would it be such a big deal to forward it? People should really use their personal email or, even better, have their own domain.
# – # – #
May I suggest that you have your own domain? The common wisdom, or is that common whizdumb, is to own your own name as a domain name. I own “reinke.cc”. (I like saying “sea sea me at reinke.cc”! me@reinke.cc will actually work!) I gives one quite a bit of control. And, it’s very cheap. I know three solutions at 15$/year using wordpressdotcom with gmail, 25$/year email only with 1and1, and 60$/year for domain+email+webspace also at 1and1. My point is not that you should use 1and1. I could care less which one you use. It’s that getting on to your own domain with email is cheap and easy. And, it’s not hotmail, yahoo, or gmail. It IS your own “personal brand”.
May I suggest that you need a website? As a student, you have tons of time and are producing content. Papers, pictures, whatever. You need to get them on the web to estabish “your brand”. The web is always straved for content. By adopting a consistent strategy of displaying high quality content under your own “brand name”, you will take over the first page of Google. (For example, Google “Ferdinand J. Reinke” or “ReinkeFJ” and you’ll see I have EVERY one of the first page entries.) You don’t want a dry static page, but a page that shows off all that stuff you claim to have (i.e., organizational and communications). :-) LOL

People shouldn’t be “lose-able”.
They should “stay” where I left them. Like keys.
Argh!

INSPIRATIONAL: “Subject to all the usual caveats”
Saturday, March 5, 2011“Your Mom and I love you very much. We want the best for you. We will do whatever we think is in your long term best interest as we see it. We may be wrong, but don’t ever doubt that we want you to be happy, healthy, and wise. That being said, be careful what you ask for, it may be more than you wanted. We will not deprive you of the chance to be happy by paving the road in front of you; someday we won’t be here to do it for you and happiness is in the struggling journey. We will not deprive you of the chance to be healthy by doing for you or not allowing you to grow; that, which doesn’t kill us, makes us stronger. We will not deprive you of the chance to be wise by giving you the ‘test’ answers; while we might even be occasionally right, we recognize any answer, that is the ‘right’ answer for us from our point of view in our circumstances, maybe totally the ‘wrong’ answer for you from your pov and in your circumstances. Having said that, we will love you, regardless of anything. We will provide a shoulder to cry on, a modicum of advice, and a swift kick if needed. You call us heroes? We’re just travelers on the same road as you, just a little further down that road. Remember we are all in the Holy Presence, and His Grace is Abundant, if you ask for it.”

MONEY: Utah Considers Return to Gold

Utah Considers Return to Gold, Silver Coins
By Stephen Clark
Published March 03, 2011 | FoxNews.com
*** begin quote ***
The Utah House was to vote as early as Thursday on legislation that would recognize gold and silver coins issued by the federal government as legal currency in the state. The coins would not replace the current paper currency but would be used and accepted voluntarily as an alternative.
The legislation, which has 12 co-sponsors, would let Utahans pay their taxes with gold and also calls for a committee to study alternative currencies for the state. It would also exempt the sale of gold from the state capital gains tax.
The bill cleared a state legislative committee on Wednesday, the first of 11 similar bills in statehouses across the country to do so. If the bill clears the House, it would have to pass the Senate before the governor could sign it into law.
*** end quote ***
Excellent!
We need a return to sanity.
And, an end to “legal tender” laws.
Allow the marketplace and the people to decide what is “money”?
I’ll know we’re free when the supermarkets price their wares in units of silver or gold.

MYLIFE: Bought beach badges yesterday
Friday, March 4, 2011Well, it’s almost spring and Frau Reinke would be disappointed in me if I didn’t get the beach badges. Don’t have them yet, but I paid for them.
And, paid the taxes. Argh!
I thought maybe a peek at the water would enhance my altitude. But it was cold. Shore cold. No wind, but you didn’t want to stay outside.
Didn’t help!

EVLYNN: Nothing seemed impossible with Ev on your side
Friday, March 4, 2011Dear John,
I didn’t know. Thank you for letting me know. Ev was so special — I would have written that “she was the dream team” and not “a member of the dream team.” Nothing seemed impossible with Ev on your side. Didn’t realize how hard and serious her health battle was.
From our brief exchange, she seemed pleased with her life. Not so many can say that. And you must miss her terribly.
She’ll be in my prayers and in my thoughts. I sent the clipping to my sister who played on Benedictine’s basketball team — our arch rival. Ev was loved by all!
Love,
Jane

[JR: Thanks for those kind words. I’m not surprised. That she always minimized her own health and that she understated her role in the HFA victories. And, I always felt nothing was impossible. Except we never did hit that multi-million progressive. So I guess some things WERE impossible.]

Subject: Passing along some sad news.
Dear Ms. Jane,
I’m just going through all the old email and cleaning up. If you hadn’t heard, I just wanted you to know that Ev passed. She enjoyed catching up with you. Just wanted you to know, she was pleased.
Donna Nobis Pacem,

MACBOOKAIR: Could Apple have a wifi software problem?
Friday, March 4, 2011I don’t know. I don’t have the hardware, software, or expertise to debug the situation. But, when my MIFI and my WIFI, both have sucky performance. And, programs, that access the network, seem slow. And, I ‘always’ see “searching for networks”. Could it be that they have a significant problem with wifi at the operating system level?
Sigh!
How to figure that our?
