Minimum Wage


I have neglected to talk about this...MINIMUM WAGE...as this appears to be yet another party line issue...the common worker vs the small business owner....really?...is Mickey D's small?...but, yes, there are small businesses out there that would have to pay a bit more...on the other hand, there are people not getting by, with the amount of income they make...with the only job they can muster up...that need and get government assistance...to survive...and yes, in some parts of the country, the cost of living is much lower...than others...I can see that...BUT, I do wonder often, why so many non-business owners, share and care about this?...for political reasons only, I reckon...

Businesses...I like to go to the Coke price gouging...back when....some of you are gonna say, 'not again, Horse'...but, there was this rumor of a season of sugar shortage...so the company had to raise the price of the drink...at the time, I was a TAB inhaler...ha ha...and they raised the price of that, too!...ah, there was no sugar in TAB...the price jumped immensely...and guess what, after that season, the sugar returned to the normal amount produced...but, the price of Coke remained at that upper level...did not go back to the original price...business...

What I am saying is that there are issues out there, that warrant wages to increase...back when, it usually took a Union to get this done...now, the 'right' say that this is socialism...a handy little word that makes sense to them...that they use for most everything...don't want to go there...

Perhaps, let's meet in the middle...somewhere...do a gradual increase...$10 now, and $15 in a couple of years...or would YOU prefer to leave it at $7.25?...

Do the math...$7.25 X 8 hrs...X 5 days= $290 for the week...could YOU live on that?...that' before taxes, too...

I know I am being simplistic...the 'bills' that Congress writes up are so complicated, with other issues tagged on 'em...ah, the lobbying effect...

Syria is a badly governed place...very bad...with a leader that would do anything to stay in power (ooo, who does that sound like?)...this guy, would and does, gas his own people...that's my setup...Prez Biden ordered an attack on them yesterday...as the Syrian guy has been targeting us...stay tuned to this...

Back home...like really...we are back to normal...we woke up yesterday, and the fevers broke...gosh it felt great...inasmuch, as we took a bike ride...so, expect a day or two, to let the vaccine work thru your system...


Snooki's song of the day...'Eyes For You' by Daryl Hall...he reminds me so much of Ronnie Dunn, in the pop world...has his own style...

Tiger...now the rehab...has been moved to another hospital to start that...it will be a very loooong road to recovery...

It was soooo pleasant last eve...had some drinks on the deck...listening to some music...yea, we felt better and so was the weather...

He is alive and kicking...

Top of the morning, friends...as we embark on a shortish Cosmo trip (6+ hours) up north to see the kids. ..we try to see them every month or two....whatever works for us, and them...school has just started for them...and Cy has both football and soccer, he is playing...Cas, at 3, is still a wannabe... The distancing of trump with the public, was a bit weird, right?. ..he emerged and was talking the same...his appearance was a bit shaggy...he must have had the flu, or, well, Covid, or something...but, he is NOT DEAD....and still up to his shenanigans...same old...anything to bring up, to divert the people from hearing about the Epstein Files ...he unabashedly, called the whole thing a 'Democratic Hoax'... Hmmm...as 6 of the Survivors of it...(the Epstein Case) ...were talking, not only to the House....but, to the public, yesterday...as MTG was front and center with it...which, too, was odd...a fallout from trump?...or, a plant within the group?...no, trump, it is not a hoax.....

The Ignominy

So much for diplomacy ... the absolute embarrassment by the current President of the US...his actions in 'hosting' the Ukranian President Zelensky ... as it turned out, a highly visual representation of bullying by trump...the manners and methodology that he uses on people...aligned with his arse kissers, waiting their turn to take potshots at Zelenksy...all well orchestrated ...it was the ULTIMATE IGNOMINY of our country's 'leader'...unfortunately, for us, too...as somehow we are connected to that ogre...in reality, we are not... hoping the rest of the World can see that...here are samples of the headlines throughout that depict the sentiment of the slaughter... We are NOT aligned with Putin...WE ARE NOT!...trump is ...which begs a different query...how much longer can this idiocy go on?... I keep asking this...what does Putin have on trump, anyway...it must be a formidable foible... Talk to me, kids... This ploy of the orange...to actually simulate a firing squa...

A Trial, Indeed

The revenge tour is ramping up ...as we gawk at the unchecked moves by trump ...even SCOTUS , the last leg of justice, is wobbling beneath his demands... this country is in disarray ...I wish I could give you better news... The unsightly attack of one of his Icetapo behemoths, on a lady in New York...taking her to the ground...an example of the uncontrolled behavior of that organization...guess that is what you call the group... simply, out of control, with NO LIMITS of force ...sad...and disgusting... The indictment of his former FBI head, James Comey ...for lying (imagine that from a legendary liar, trump) to Congress...this court case is needed for the country...to show the fallacy of the regime that is running rampant all over the land...it needs to be a BIG STAGE! ... A trial, indeed... In data released by trump's own government...the largest groups of detainees...the Icetapo's achievement of rounding up people...are not the ones with ANY CRIMINAL RECORD , but, 'illeg...
