Everything is all about money.




Today's Tids Issue 3,904
For Objectivity:

I talked to a good friend who had just returned from Norway, Sweden et. al. And now I think I know why Volvo was so magnanimous in its climate change gesture to go all electric – Tesla is eating their lunch. Yes, the Scandinavians can’t get enough of the Muskmobile, buying every single one of them in and out of production. That has to be hurting the business of their former favorite. Odd, isn’t it, how even the sacrosanct environmentalist leaders look at the revenue side of the ledger too.

The Repubs have to start selling the merits of what they are trying to accomplish rather than just talking about keeping a promise. If ACA is in trouble, and I guarantee that only small percentage of people know why, explain it “clearly”. That’s why Dem inane proclamations of deaths resound so well with the uninformed Repubs, the country, needs objective explanations of why it is in trouble, and why there is a driving need to replace and/or improve it. It is  \just a giant football bouncing haphazardly in the chambers of the governing elite. Most people need a replay to understand what is really going on. The only thing reported is the scorecard. As I said a week or so ago, get rid of the political parties and get down to the people.

Dems may be licking their chops at Trump antics giving them an illusion of a sure thing Congress in 2018. But, according to WAPO, the most active voting groups projected today for that election are Repubs, and especially Repubs who strongly support Trump,  

I wrote a novel about a religious woman, The library put it in the Nun-Fiction section.

The Question:
What was Vickie Carr’s greatest hit? My younger reader are asking, “Vickie who?”

The Headlines:
--Markets Up In Early Trading; Oil Prices dipping As US Inventories Increase.
--Stalled Health Care Legislation Could Lead To Insurance Company Bailouts From ACA.
--NASDAQ Set To Hit All Time High; US Housing Starts Rebounded In June; Morgan Stanley Shows Strength.
--New Bloomberg Poll Shows That Hillary Clinton Favroable Numbers Are Lower Than Donald Trump.
--French Military Leader Bolts After Clash With Macron On Reduced Budget.

If you think you know what the Fiords look like from pictures you’ve seen, you don’t know nothing. To sail upon clean waters beneath them is to have experienced a wonder of the world.

When you think about it, it is quite remarkable that Hillary beat Sanders for the nomination. She was actually lower in the polls than Sanders, but the weight of the Democrat machine pushed her across the line.

Everything is about money, only today it seems it’s about spending other people’s money.

What phrases will the decorator shows use after everybody gets tired of “Demo day”, “Open Concept”, “Shiplap”, “Hardwoods” or “On-Suite”. They need new copywriters.

The Bernie Sanders movement gained more strength here last night. Progressive Dems in this state are saying the current Union owned Dems in the statehouse are much too conservative. Last night in a primary to find a Dem to run for the vacate seat of the former now retired Senate president, it was a surprising win for a woman who describes herself as a ”Lawyer; Social Activist”. In a state crying for new companies to create new jobs she says her two biggest wants are two laws that would further hamstring companies doing business. She was not the handpicked candidate of a very popular ex-Senate President. The fever for becoming Sweden is hot.

Ivanka Trump is much too thin for my liking.

BTW, the Tesla sales miracle in Scandinavia isn’t the result of some genius marketing ploy, unless socialism has become a marketing technique. The Government provides buying incentives to Tesla buyers in the form of multiple tax reductions at many levels. And, It appears that tesla owners will be giver privileged parking areas by cities and towns and the Federal government. In other words they are taking taxes paid by Volvo to subsidize their competitor. You know, Volvo, the company that provides jobs that fund the government give-away programs. Crazy.

Did you know that fines for speeding tickets in Sweden are determined by the driver’s personal wealth. It’s another redistribution of income scheme.

I am told that one of the great scenic vacations is that of taking your car or motorcycle for a drive around the “Alpine Loop” in Colorado. One of the highlights is Animas Forks and several other similar “Ghost Towns” – former silver mine twon long vacated.

The Answer:
Vickie was born as Florencia Bisneta de Casillas-Martinez Cardona in El Paso Texas in 1941. Vickie Carr des seem easier. Her first big singelwas “e’s a rebel”. “It Must be Him” was the title track on her album nominated for three Grammys..

Did you hear about the guy who called his printer Bob Marley because it was always Jammin’?
