Today's Tids Issue 4,895

Don't squash ambition:

 

Well, folks, tonight on national TV before 200 invited members from this joint session of Congress, The Unity Prez will unveil the latest chapter of his Wealth Redistribution Plan. Maybe watching the Oscars actually would be better. Some Repub members are praying they won’t be invited.

 

Today is “National Great Poetry Reading Day”. So, I won’t write one.

 

“Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy; its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.”

- Winston Churchill

In another bold move Joe B is pushing or increased inflation as he yesterday ordered the Minimum wage for all Contractors doing business with the Fed to $15, up from $10.95. He also in a separate signing ordered the Fed Employee minimum wage to $15. Remember when people had the opportunity to choose Gov work for security and private enterprise for earning power. The Fed will immediate l hire all of the illegal immigrants thus ridding JB of a major problem, and in doing so populate the Federal government with more than enough employees to take over the entire economy. This is because the private sector won’t be able to remain profitable I this escalating salary world. I can write many inane scenarios because unfortunately they could be considered plausible because the government is involved.

 

Has there ever been so much spending in an American government. And nobody seems to care, because too many have been bought off?

 

On the other hand, the reward for failure merry-go-round kept heads spinning as the four top execs from GameStop walked away with severance packages totaling about $240 Million. Basically, what they did was close over about thousand stores and laid off slews of workers in a failing business. Their whopping severance came about because some retail investors drove the stock price way beyond the value of the company. It is definitely weird in the new world.

 

Yesterday Rhode Island, “The Brother-in-Law State”, had that state motto validated when the list of salaries for employees of the entertainment complex of arenas and concert halls was revealed. In addition to uncles, aunts, cousins, wives and a assorted other relative, it was also packed with close associates of union chiefs. Fill the pot with money, and they will come.

 

Today is also “National Super hero day.” Has anybody seen my cape?

 

Just to show you how much money is out there floating around; the Samsung’s Lee Family will pay more than $10.8 Billion n inheritance taxes. Zowie!

 

Police in Germany were called in yesterday to investigate a suspicious looking bomb-like object. It turned out to be a “Grenade” sex toy. Yikes! Call me lost in my sheltered past.

 

JB will prove tonight that you can be radical and boring at the same time. I guess that’s something.

 

The Answer:

Frankly I always wondered why the GOAT would give up somebody as sprightly and pretty as Bridget Moynahan for a super wealthy glam model. Bridget has been highly successful starring in Bluebloods as Assistant DA Eri Reagan.

 

I think a good goal is to discover something new each day. It doesn’t have to be huge. Sometimes a nice little finding stays with you forever. I guess, after all, that makes it huge.
