let’s make some ..

after the posting, the investing. after gossip is…

after barbs come barbed wire.

America knows how to make a war. You need war we’ve got it

On the spectrum… the silicon rainbow includes all the shades of greed.

getting beyond making conversation .. Ideas start between mind and paper, frequently involving walks

wealth comes from wealth . pandemics come from arrogance … The arrogant believing they were smarter than they are .. pandemics feed on the ignorance … the tax dodging wealth didn’t solve Covid … it wasn’t capital, it was the resources of labor, the pool of investment money that comes from labor .The tax of the middle class kept democratic science alive, and willing to distribute knowledge without requirement for profit, return on investment …


Capital [ kodak Who for refresher]–claim of the … no skin in the game [chuckup]

… labor is the only skin in the game … it is their skin, and sweat in the shop.

The chuks can’t see The facts before them. the facts found reading with open, accepting eyes. Instead they see it through their bias; turning the (mis)reading into evidence of your failure; their correctness… The mark of capital.. of prejudice of scale, and bias that their experience has always been more valuable than anyone else’s… their grand summaries of business, of their experience, reveal their prejudice, and their miss-judgments.
These factors explain why they wind up at this point-place. Why they’re changed, grown by small amounts: they follow strawmen to a dead end.. their consulting, hopefully, was about buying routers, not about business routes, business plans.. their sample examples aren’t even theirs; couldn’t have been from their experience, instead coming from their superficial readings of  years ago; from a time when they were 30.

 awareness becomes illusion… more so when you’re trying to convince someone else you’re attempting to gain control of a group you exert added claim to overcome them.

as your knowledge thins out your reinforce it with repetition with pronouncements with exaggerations of experience even going far enough to claim other persons experience as your own…

you feed the Warhorse on strawmen.

after everyone has given an opinion on the headline, perhaps it’s time to read the story; review the facts, consider opposite interpretation… Consider not hanging the messenger for your myopia.

people pick one word and expand upon it particularly if that word is a person .. someone they dislike more likely a symbol of their dislike.

as likely. topics become entry analogues for the person’s monologue.

The denier fire

he died putting out your fire , the deniers

Trumps Tonkin toys : The national guard militarization called up to change the new cycle .

A lawyer in flip-flops hurls a sandwich at an overfed man in camo and the trump response: call in the guard . A privileged programmer gets a bloody nose and your response: call in the guard .

A VAX denier kills a cop, attacks The CDC. Your response …. crickets on the White House lawn .

[Trump vows to “do things that are irreversible, that are bad” as retribution. His deportation agenda is expected to run full speed ahead, while educationenvironmental and other services sputter. The economic fallout is expected to ripple nationwide.– 11,1’25 upd]

QUOTE OF THE DAY

“It’s not just about the firing of the CDC director. It’s the fact that CDC has, basically since January, been hemorrhaging some of the world’s top experts—people who have many decades of experience in knowing how to protect the United States.”

— Jennifer Nuzzo, epidemiologist and director of the Pandemic Center at Brown University,
