Today's Tids Issue
3,970.
For a little common sense every once in a while:
I
am heartbroken as I watch the Northern California fires
devour homes and lives. My thoughts keep going to that couple, he 100 and she
98, who died in the safety of their home, where just earlier in this year they had
celebrated 75 years of marriage. Safety is just a relative term.
A
letter writer to the big state newspaper put the kneeling thing
in its proper context. “It is their right to protest, but commons sense would
tell them not to.” It reminds me of teachers who strike on the first day of
school saying “We don’t want to hurt the children.”
There
is very good news today. Over in Cook County Illinois the
county regulators are about to rescind the depraved “Soda Tax”. Yes, irate everyday
people amassed in protest bringing those fascist health tyrants to their knees.
And the people who like ice cold sipping won.
My
health care program is so bad that when I need an
X-Ray they send me to the airport.
Some
of the brightest minds in the world are spending billions
developing stuff I don’t need.

After
a drive by shooting in New Bedford near here where one
car riddled another with bullets killing one and critically injuring another, a
black woman was seen talking to the news camera: “I hope the police capture
them and not some other group driven by vengeance.” Most people in communities appreciate
the way police handle situations, and respect the safety they bring to the neighborhoods.
Hollywood
seems to know how to put on a proper face of disgust
after years of praising a monster. After all, they are actors.
I
have to wonder about the Nobel prize for economics.
Like, for instance the Nobel committee of late seems to enjoy leftist ideas. So,
while Thayer’s Behavioral Economics theory is basically one of illuminating the
effects of human psychological urges on financial market activity, I am wondering
if his real revelations show big government how to use psychological behavior
to redistribute wealth. That’s my first conspiracy theory for the morning.
And
you think that the world isn’t a new lunar path
– lunar path meaning highway to crazy behavior. A woman in Cleveland pulled a gun
out of her purse to threaten a barber she thought was taking too long to cut
the hair of her seven-year-old son. Do not make faces at drivers who cut you
off.
Who
rants most about being captured by the police? Criminals.
The
business world is changing like never before. We have talked
here about mega giants of yore like GE and IBM becoming shells of their former
selves; and they will continue to do so. Companies will strive to transform,
mitigate and eliminate. They will try to retain revenue sources while opening
doors to new pots of gold under radiating rainbows. All while trying tamper investor concerns, and
soothing loyal customers whose heads are spinning. It’s the new art to staying
alive.
I
read a story this morning about a woman who was charged for
leaving her 3-year-old son in a corn maize. I can empathize with the feelings
of that tot. I had the same fears as that child when my grandchildren left me stranded
amidst the browning stalks.
Of
course, soda taxes are not really about health.
Health is a disguise that would enable inept legislators and administrators to
justify an additional source of revenue to coverup for past reckless spending decisions.
That’s just the way it is in America, nothing is as it is touted.
The
Answer:
#1 in endowment is Harvard at $36.8 Bil. Next is U Texas
followed by Yale, Stanford, Princeton, MIT, Texas A&M, Northwestern, U Michigan and Penn. The highest per student
are Princeton, Yale, Harvard, Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering, Pomona,
Stanford, Swarthmore, MIT, Amherst and Grinnel.
Bull
horns make people louder, not smarter.
