“We should be more like Europe”

Except, of course, that Europe is different and not necessarily better:

The poorest US state’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita is higher than that of Europe’s top five economies, except for Germany. However, Mississippi competes closely with Germany, with a difference of just €1,500.

People in Mississippi, ferchrissakes, have more purchasing power that people all across Europe.

Think about that. We think Poor folks in Mississippi are poor, and economically disadvantaged….and they are……But compared to Europe, they are not. They are wealthy, in fact.

 

 

 

Sadly, they wouldn’t show this today

But they should….in every school in every class, in every grade.

Think “Hope and Change

Think “Build Back Better”

and for that matter “Make America Great Again”

I think they would never show the kids today anything like this, simply to keep them from recognizing the tricks so that they are more easily led.

Take a few minutes and watch this.

PROPAGANDA For High School Kids In 1948! Would They Show This Today?

Just a tad over 7 minutes.

It begins

Meta and Amazon have both announced that they are terminating their DEI programs.

 

I guess they don’t think they have to appease any leftists anymore then, huh?

I expect that the past 4 years, having a DEI program was just the cost of doing business. Now, not so much. They don’t have to pander to the “Woke” politicos any more. White Women and Democrats no longer matter…..

Shows what a real farce the whole thing was, really.

‘Twas a beautiful and clear day…..and amusing too

So Saturday about noon I went for a walk in the winter sunshine. Not much wind, and it was clear as clear can be. Cold(ish) but not bad for January in Northwestern Indiana.

I walked around town and finally entered the park, I sat down and watched the people. It was calming. Kids playing, families out together, lovers walking hand in hand, older couples enjoying each other….that sort of thing. Peaceful.

 

Then this fat dude in his 40’s sat down next to me on the bench….loudly. Kinda broke my calm. Disturbed my Wah, if you get my drift…..I pretty much ignored him, for a while. He kept eyeballing me though.

So, without turning my head, I said, calmly, in my best voice: “Did you bring the money?”

Out of the corner of my eye, I watched him stiffen up, his eyes widened. He looked at me sharply, but I did not turn my head.

“Just slide it over and everything will be fine” Says I, calmly.

Dude got up in a panic and hurried off.

 

It made a great day even better.

They could have funded 1000 and more

Students

 

Yep, the DEI department, where people make upwards of $300,000.00 (Plus benefits) per year (doing what, exactly?) of Ohio State University has salaries and benefits that could pay the tuition of well over a THOUSAND students…..Students that could then get better jobs, earn better salaries, and improve their communities.

But no, it goes to a bunch of academics who produce nothing, change nothing, and essentially waste the money. (Which pretty much describes the whole DEI movement…..it is pretty much a transfer of wealth to those favored few who can’t earn a living any other way)

Truth:

“Age does no confer wisdom. there are many old fools in the world.

Simply Not Dying  or not being killed doesn’t necessarily make you wise”

 

“Unconditional Discharge”

So the whole aim of this trial was, apparently to be able to brand Donald Trump a Felon.

 

The Punishment was…nothing.

 

So why bother except that the Left got to brand the man they hate above all others as a “Felon”.

 

Is it any wonder they lost the election?

 

ETA: How many thousands of New York Taxpayer dollars did they waste on this?
