Gee what a surprise:…..

“There is a fear that with basic income they would just stay at home and play computer games,”

At least they are smart enough to stop when it becomes apparent that it isn’t working….unlike OUR liberals….

Finland to stop program of Universal Basic Income because it simply doesn’t work….. “and is actively taking measures to cut benefits to those who do not seek employment”.

(seems that they would have to raise taxes by OVER 30% ….



At the end of it all, I believe the proponents of UBI simply want runaway inflation to devalue the savings of those of us who work and save and to devalue to holdings of the “rich”.
Or, it could be that they are simply stupid people who believe in socialism because they never studied anything useful and never read a history book or were exposed to anything resembling Econ 101…..

I hate

The Garmin G-1000 instrument system.

Much prefer the “Six-Pack” instruments.

Sadly, that plane is down with major structural damage from a tail strike.

So I get a choice….G-1000 or G-1000….or change flight schools.

Other than not having to set the HSI, I fail to see the advantage…..at least for VFR

Victims:

The “memorial” doesn’t mention that a THIRD of the Lynchings were of WHITES. 

It simply portrays the terrible injustices that were perpetrated on blacks….

New lynching memorial evokes terror of victims

It also fails to mention that that was then, this is now….And that black people have gotten MORE than their share of freebies in the past 55 years. No one gets away with lynchings anymore.

Isn’t it odd that every other group of people that were considered subhuman for a while in this country’s history has risen above? The Chinese, the Japanese….the Irish, even the Jews…Yet the blacks fail to do so, and remain victims. Even the Hspanics while still being a part of the problem, are greatly successful in the US…..

Yeah, some folks will call me a racist. Don’t care, done wore that label out.
Go look at the 3 maps I posted about  a while back…..

If you want an expensive cooler

But don’t want to buy a YETI because of their stance with the NRA:

You can always buy a Pelican Cooler…Still expensive, but not nearly as much as a YETI….Plus, made in the USA.

They claim that they will donate $10 to the NRA if you use the Promo Code “PelicanProud”.

I still think these sorts of coolers are massively overpriced for the performance they give, but hey, it’s your money.

ETA: YETI claims this is all a misunderstanding and they are just getting rid of an old discount program.

Maybe.

But their main customer demographic is “Outdoorsey” liberal millenials…and the timing is very suspicious.

If it looks like a duck…..

Give ’em credit

Wells Fargo stood fast against the AFT….and they took the hit. The bank lost the mortgage business of the American Federation of Teachers.

I’m glad at least one institution has the gust to stand up to these folks….Not just because it is (currently) firearms as the main issue of the day, but that an institution had the gust to stand up to Social Justice Warrior tactics.

I’m impressed that they didn’t fold. 

I fail to see the “discrimination”:

Bad business practices? Yes
Poor customer service? Yes

Poor treatment of customers? Probably

Rude and boorish behavior? YES.

But discrimination? Nope

One wonders how they are claiming that the company broke laws. If they didn’t carry foreign folks, that would be one thing….but obviously, they do, as they have apparently insulted many of them….Is insulting people illegal? If responding to customer complaints with derision illegal?

I wonder who Ms Madigan knows that the bus company angered…It is stuff like this that shows the abuses of power that so often happen in Illinois. After all, she is using Taxpayer funds to drive a company out of business…. Is there a “Connected” company wishing to take over those routes????
