Yesterday:

“So you are ok with tens of thousands of government employees losing their jobs? ”

 

My reply,: “It’s a good start, I’d be happy with hundreds of thousands of Federal employees losing their jobs….Most are unneeded and unproductive”.

 

Funny how Canada backed down on the Electricity price hike….

I think cooler heads prevailed there in our Northern neighbor…

 

The electricity market is such that the states could have, at least at this time, bought power from elsewhere,, making the price increase moot.

Canada needs to sell the power somewhere, as it is mostly hydropower, and turning off the turbines is a difficult task that can, in some cases, cause damage to them… They’d rather not do that.

 

They REALLY don’t wanna fight the US.

 

Typical reason people hate government workers and the agencies they work for….They had to know and simply didn’t care enough….

It took 67 people dying before they would do anything, despite the other incidents.

They had to know there was a problem, or they simply weren’t bothering to look at the incident reports….Why bother making reports if no one was gonna do anything with the data? Controllers had complained before about the helicopter flight paths, but NO ONE DID ANYTHING.

No-one at the FAA or the NTSB cared until people died.

National Transportation Safety Board Chairwoman Jennifer Homendy laid out frightening statistics about near misses to underscore the danger that has existed for years near Ronald Reagan National Airport and expressed anger that it took a midair collision for it to come to light.

In just over three years, she said, there were 85 close calls when a few feet (meters) in the wrong direction could have resulted in the same kind of accident that happened Jan. 29 when the military helicopter collided with an American Airlines jet over the Potomac River as the plane was approaching the airport.

Words of wisdom on a Wednesday #25

“There are no shortcuts to any place worth going in life”

“If you are going to try, try all the way. No half measures. All you have, or nothing”

“Keep your feet on the ground, Make good choices. No one will care how you bleed”

“In order to grow, you must learn, in order to learn, you must have an open mind”

“Remember: things are “impossible”….until they are not”

“The more you know, the less you need”

“Never underestimate the power of human stupidity.”

Context matters:

“I’m sorry, daddie, I’ve been a Bad Girl….”

 

Priest at the confessional sighs…:: “Once again, it is “Bless me Father, for I have sinned”…..”

Question:

What dirt does Stacey Abrams have on the Biden/Obama government folks?

I mean, she is (was) a relatively minor politician in the Georgia House of Representatives and a community activist. Yet she somehow gets all sorts of respect and power in the Democratic leadership.

And, oddly, the NGO she runs, which is fairly recently established, got nearly $2 BILLION dollars from the Biden administration…..for, apparently, nothing.

All that money (and it is LOT of money), and NO oversight. Kinda looks like she is being rewarded for something by the Biden folks, doesn’t it?

 

So what gives her that power?

 

“Enquiring Minds” and all that
