To be fair both sides now see the other as fascist dictators.  But at this point in time only one actually IS.  And it’s not the MAGA Republicans.  What’s MAGA for?

Low taxes

Low inflation

Low crime

Low unemployment

Be energy independent

Stay out of foreign wars

Respect the Bill of Rights, especially the First and Second Amendments

Keep elections fair and secure


Tell me how all of that is a fascist threat?

I still see mask wearers DAILY. Guy walking alone, nobody for like forever, with a fucking mask. Just easier to identify some of the mentally ill.

At my hospital training and assessment the other day, they didn’t require masks but half the staff were masked up.  So I get somebody with their back to me typing on their machine asking me questions with a mask on, “Mfffmmm fffmummm mmmffffm?”

“WHAT??  I can’t understand you through that thing.  Jesus Christ on a cracker!  Will you please stop with the goddamn motherfucking masks!”

RealClear Politics predicts 54 GOP senators.

https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2022/senate/elections-map-rcp-projection.html?utm_source=referral&utm_medium=offthepress&utm_campaign=home

They’ll pick up four but then two of them will recount for days and “find” just enough ballots to reverse and it will end up being only two and the left will riot in the streets over the Nazi coup.  That’s my official prediction.

Okay, it has to be said. You and your husband have sex and you're not familiar with over and under?   ;D

Ha!

I’m still at a loss.  I’m torn between hoping for a massive blowout and fearing the Dems will pull another 2020 and keep everything.  I plan to come up with some numbers eventually.

The Left "Wokeists" are the Fascists that don't want to give up their controlling, Freedom and spirit killing power.

You are so right.  Their projection is insane, to listen to them talk about “fascism” if the Republicans get back in control. 


THEY are the ones censoring speech

THEY are the ones bullying corporations into promoting their ideology

THEY are the ones in total control of mainstream media

THEY are the ones mandating the population to take a vaccine so Big Pharma can make obscene profits

THEY are the ones locking down and destroying small businesses while letting Walmart stay open

THEY are the racists and sexists, inciting hatred between races and genders

THEY are the ones sending billions overseas escalating a war we have no business being involved in

THEY are the ones who have taken complete control of our educational system and use it to indoctrinate the young into their ideology

THEY are the ones destroying the middle class and broadening the divide between rich and poor

THEY are the ones weaponizing all branches of the federal government against anyone who disagrees with them

THEY are the ones holding political prisoners without due process

THEY are the ones trying to destroy our republic - we are not a democracy - by trying to change election law so that they will always win and we become a one party state

THAT is fascism.

Little Bruce and Jenny are only 10 years old, but they know they are in love.
One day they decide that they want to get married, so Bruce goes to Jenny's father to ask him for her hand.

Bruce bravely walks up to him and says, "Mr. Smith, me and Jenny are in love and I want to ask you for her hand in marriage."

Thinking that this was just the cutest thing, Mr. Smith replies,
"Well, Bruce, you are only 10. Where will you two live?"

Without even taking a moment to think about it, Bruce replies,
"In Jenny's room. It's bigger than mine and we can both fit there nicely."

Mr. Smith says with a huge grin, "Okay, then how will you live?
You're not old enough to get a job. You'll need to support Jenny."

Again, Bruce instantly replies,
"Our allowance, Jenny makes five bucks a week and I make 10 bucks a week. That's about 60 bucks a month, so that should do us just fine."

Mr. Smith is impressed Bruce has put so much thought into this.
"Well, Bruce, it seems like you have everything figured out. I just have one more question. What will you do if the two of you should have little children of your own?"

Bruce just shrugs his shoulders and says,

"Well, we've been lucky so far."

It’s a complex problem. I just completed my 40th tax season as a CPA, so I have some insight into US manufacturing. 

To some extent, some manufacturing is transitory. The globe’s largest textile producer was once England.  It then moved to New England, because labor was cheaper and it was closer to the source of cotton. Eventually the industry moved to the Carolinas for the same reason. And when I
Moved to Charlotte, the Carolinas were still suffering from the movement of the textile industry from the US to cheaper locations around the globe. Many industries have moved globally in this way.

The problem started when US manufacturers began moving production to our potential enemies. Moving to Guatemala or the Philippines is way, way different than moving production to China, for example. I blame globalists like Nixon, Jimmy Carter, GHWB, GWB, and Bill Clinton for allowing this to happen or to continue.

I was supporting of the Maquiladora movement a couple decades ago. Mexico was in our hemisphere, a rising tide lifts all boats, etc.  However I am many manufacturers were burned by the corruption, crime, and infiltration of the cartels into these businesses.

We still make things. Our firm has over 6,000 manufacturers as clients. But we need to make more shit here. Now.

Trump was so right in trying to bring manufacturing home to the US.

Thanks for the interesting history.  Agree, sending it to enemies overseas is largely problematic.  It is very difficult to manage quality control from the other side of the planet in a culture with a completely different way of doing business.  You send the American designer or engineer over to ensure they’re producing it according to spec.  They’ll smile to your face, oh yes, yes, and do a run that complies, all is well, then after two weeks the engineer returns home and China drops the compliance and cuts corners.  In the meantime you contract with Walmart to buy a million of them and by the time the shipment reaches Walmart and the inferior quality is detected it’s too late.  They’re on the shelves and you’re selling them.  So you go to another Chinese manufacturer, rinse repeat.  We on the consumer end suffer the results clearly and continuously.  Items that should last years if not decades have become consumables, you must buy a new one every few months.

A few years ago I bought two pairs of Levi jeans that fit identically.
A month later I bought another pair of the same make size and color. They were both too small in the waist.
On examination I noticed the first two were made in Vietnam, the second two in El Salvador.
I suspect the difference was due to differences in the fabric cutting equipment or its calibration and perhaps the source of the fabric. I would not think the difference was due to cultural differences between El Salvador and Vietnam for a global company like Levi.

When I buy clothing and it seems good quality, I look at the tag and it says Pakistan or Vietnam.  Much of what says China is only passable quality.

That's the phrase I was looking for to describe this phenomenon.  Back before all the Made in China, you'd buy a pair of shoes and size was consistent, at least within a brand.  Nowadays you can buy the exact same item twice and the fit is completely different.

Unintended consequences are HELL.  We never should have shipped manufacturing overseas.

MASH is still my favorite TV show.  I usually watch an episode in the evening while my wife is getting ready for bed.

It’s the only show my mother watches.  We bought her the DVD set.  She’s so deaf she can’t hear it and she can’t read subtitles but she knows all the episodes by heart so enjoys them.  It’s the only thing she has watched for years now.

As usual, the most effective way to have more than one email (probably Jim’s method) is the most work.

I have a gmail account I hardly ever look at, and do use it occasionally when I don’t want to give out my main address. When I tried once to set up a second gmail address as a throwaway, it wouldn’t let me disconnect from my other gmail account. Google is all about finding you wherever you go online, and converging it into one picture of you.  They must use IP addresses or something. I hate this.

I despise Google because of stuff like that.  Apple is almost as bad.  So is Microsoft.

I knew two people who were at the rally, but didn’t walk to the Capitol because one of them had a bad hip. I wonder if people who were ONLY at the rally have been being identified and contacted by the FBI.   I have no doubt that facial recognition has been used on that crowd.

There is a 100% certainty that cellphone location data has been collected and everyone in the area, whether they went to the Capitol or not, has been added to a database of “potential” insurrectionists.  This data is probably being cross checked against the data lists sent in by credit card companies of people who purchase firearms and ammo.  They will use the results of that cross check to monitor your social media and notify the IRS to consider you for audit.  I wish I were joking.
