A pair of related downsides of rank free markets. But in the latter case, new depths, apparently. "Micro work". Home based computer contract work, often at less than USD 1.00 per hour, if payment actually ever happens. Busy beavers might very rarely hit over USD 5 hourly, for 14 hour days. Boring work, on personal medical, product choice, lifestyle and other records data, gathered by the likes of facebook. Seems like it gets used to develop more 'human' AI. Was where expected, in dirt poor (Venezuela workers' paradise) countries. Now in the richer West. Nice. Check out the ethnicities of the rich suits behind this disgrace. Facebook, others.

...Yet one more accomplishment of our Dazzling, Brilliant, Ivy league graduate President Trump. And not a small one either. And one more campaign promise completed. So he ditches poorly crafted NAFTA, with all the usual democrat warnings of complete North American economic collapse. Plays hard and rough with the Mexicans and Canadians, and they go along. Dems claiming it all only happened because they played ball as well. Now, isn't THAT special? So let's see, we could use the Micman or Willy's awesome help to list all the important promises kept. Get's a bit tough for me to keep track of such high numbers.

....No witnesses in fake impeachment---VERY fake. Quick acquittal, then quick dispatch of all looney socialist, or worse, Democrat candidates by the Big Promise keeper-in-chief. More regional judicial appointments. Eight to one SCOTUS for LIFE. Narrow retake of House, retain/increase Senate. Then---finish wall, infrastructure, cut public broadcasting, begin unbiased alternative---taxpayer funded---to biased National Proletarian Broadcastingt (NPR). And he's just getting of the line. RIP, liberal interests. The voters got it in 2016, after the affirmative action demi Negro POTUS, and again in 2020. Suck it down, America haters. Hohoho.

.....academic education knows, don't hold your breath for actually learning anything practical about teaching even a single kid. So it mostly is with instruction on how to do family or couples therapy/counseling. But a few useful sayings do seem to stick. Such as, actually a Jerry Seinfeld line, "There's no such thing as fun for the whole family". Or, on entering the hour, "How do you all feel about being here with us today?" And then there's, "No matter how good you may feel about one member of the clan, it almost always takes TWO to tango". And my favorite, the most effective phrase any client can learn, "Yes dear, that is such a good suggestion".

One of the last things for me to do on my house renovation project is to remove some radio antennas and towers.

These things have been up for years and the couplers holding the sections of pipe have rusted to the pipe.

One of the guys I know wanted one. It's made from 3 lengths of 10 foot thick wall steel pipe. He had 2 weeks to respond and lost the opportunity today. This afternoon, we dragged lots of scrap metal in the front (for Tuesday's garbage pick up) and one of the salvage trucks that reclaim appliances came by at the right time. The driver was going through my trash. "We have more" and he agreed to stay and help while I got my industrial grinder and cut a line to weaken each of the couplings.

The two of us used the tree for leverage and we split each section where he then dragged each piece to the front and loaded it onto his truck.

I know it's toxic, but the fumes coming off the sparks has an awesome 'heavy metal' smell.

....sure, we all want to see peace for the people of Afghanistan, and the region. No shortage of rare earth elements in that neighborhood.The altliberals will of course spin it otherwise, but all can see how this occurred largely with support from our Brilliant and Dazzling President Trump. The facts. After the Taliban got licked,with hearts and minds/militarily, and both sides saw little hope for a permanent military solution, and the Sunni religious radicals apparently cut ties with even more marginal groups, such as al Qaeda, the talks got moving. Recall, this is a decades long costly struggle, two decades for the USA. The Brits and Russians are hip, as well. And all know of the oppression of women, young school age girls, and many lovers of music, and much more, while under the Taliban. Not to mention thousands of amputees from the many car/truck bombing attacks, largely on innocent civilian Muslims. But I think this is one more brilliant example on the now dozen long list of campaign promises kept. All well know that for these radical religious leaders in the religion of peace, that this is merely an heuristic move. The Taliban has changed little---how could they, they are deeply into religious righteousness? Soon enough, the Afghan females will suffer once more. It's business, for Mr.Trump, mostly of keeping promises, which others have fraudulently made, such as the affirmative action last POTUS, and of cutting losses. By analogy with Nixon's Vietnam "Peace with Honor", where the final triumph of the North was long in the cards, and the populace had had enough of the costs, on most sides, it's simply an exit for the USA and allies. But for less than auspicious signs, don't take my word for it. The main message of the parades by the Taliban today, is "victory over the USA". The shameless spin of the alt lefties, will of course be, that It's merely a political move for a mandate in November. Which it surely, rightly also is. But we Yanks, and the West, have at least learned a few lessons concerning hegemony. Namely, if backing any group militarily, be sure their side has a large dose of religious righteousness on board. As with the (much later to fail) religion of Communism, in Vietnam. And we're not at all saying that the new region under the Taliban will be a near future ally as Vietnam to the USA, against China. But the dollar speaks. Much better in business than wasted in conflict.

...many of us watched our Comrade Commissar roll over for the DNC and Criminal H in 2016. Without unethically offering up a diagnosis of creepy slow Joe, sight unseen, the true sources of so much gaffing and confusion, although buried by the biased media, should be investigated and will hurt his slim chances. But once again, the fiddler on the roof from the peoples' republic of Vermont, actually has a chance to deal plugs sniffer Biden a death blow, with force. He just has to hammer away at the Ukraine/China Hunter Biden lucrative nepotisms, and Joe's fitness for service, on mental health grounds.. So many other items, but with consistent effort, these two should do it. If I were a candidate, I would have done the same repeatedly at E. Warren, for the shameless fake Indian, VERY fake, self promotion, over real deserving Native Americans. Finally, with so much visible on Biden, where is that Yale lady Shrink on HIS mental state? Also unethically sight unseen, she seemed to try to support cause for 25th amendment action against our Dazzling and Brilliant President Trump. Media and academic biases, can't make this stuff up folks. Oye como va.

.....the world's most intelligent and educated president, affirmative action Hussein O., who knew that there are 57 US states, and they speak Austrian in Austria, can do. Our tight minded candidate, one Joe Biden, possible next president, now that Mishugana Bernard is working a new job under a bus, continues to add gravitas and lucid phrases to the catalogues of world shattering POTUS' sayings. Forget about the lies, many plagiarisms and distortions, which have been going on since the 80'S, such as comments on his family heritage of working the English coal mines, or, the driver who killed his wife and child, or, or, or... He is now helping to clarify what former presidents really meant. And brilliantly, is doing so with only one recently minted phrase. Examples: Four score, and seven years ago-- a, GO, YOU KNOW THE THING. Ask not what your country can do for you, ask--- a, GO, YOU KNOW THE THING. December 7, 1941, a day that will live in--- a, GO, YOU KNOW THE THING. Ich bin ein Berliner--- a, GO, YOU KNOW THE THING. The only thing we have to fear is--- a, GO, YOU KNOW THE THING. Mr Gorbachov, tear down that--- a, GO, YOU KNOW THE THING. Should he become president, we'll no doubt have many more, to add clarity to what former US presidents all said. And he'll tear up that ineffective racist Trump on any debate stage. Very much tear him up. VERY--- a, GO, YOU KNOW THE THING.

... Now, lemmings, he's a Portuguese, so my druthers are to cut him some slack. But today I watched him on left biased PBS, with prunaceous Judy Woodward tossing the softballs. The topic was Covid 19, and I counted a dozen times when he pushed for more money for wasteful/ineffective outfits like his United Nations. They need to relocate out of NYC. My proposal for peace in the Levant (JACTESS),would have the new and vastly trimmed down UN in the peace corridor separating New Palestine from New Israel. And good riddance. I worked with these slugs. Overpaid and under worked. All ueber libs. But the hottie women were usually easy.

....And I do. Perfect mates, for the fellah down the hall. A few times, I fell victim to the siren looks and songs---and come ons. Even paid for air fare to visit us here at the Vierk mansions. And believe me, first class flights from Kazakhstan, Borneo, Vanuatu and Tui Tui La don't come cheap. But who's digressing? And this sad state of affairs might well have continued, had not Lady Cyberscrutinizer herself, Peace be upon her, so tough lovingly intervened on my wayward behalf. A formidable old broad, but chock full of wisdom, she, "They are mostly scammers, and when not, ask your silly head, what would such modelesque morsels, all in their 20's, really want to do with a grizzled old farty wanker like you?" Of course, she was spot on, but cuttingly went further, taking up all the room in the treetop love nest, to say. "The young ages and the looks should be strong warning signs, dip shite, but the biggest clue is when, in their profiles, they specify "generosity", as a main quality in a man." Well, needless to say, who can argue with all that? I then inquired of Lady C," But long legs, how can a bloke with such racist/misogynist right wing hate on board, let these tarts down gently?" Well, as do Buddhist monk masters, responding to stupid questions, she hit me on the crown with a broken branch, and said, "You'll figure it our, now hand me another cheap warm beer." Well, after consulting with our sociopathic HR department at the Vierk Institute, I came up with the answer. When one dumps such ladies, using HR wisdom, just make it seem like it's something wrong with ME, not them. VERY wrong. So now, whenever the plea for generosity in a man appears, I reply at once, somewhat truthfully, " Oh, you really wouldn't like me much at all. I'm tight as a funeral drum. In fact, I'm so cheap, that for first dates, I insist that prospects pay in advance for my air fare to visit them." And over time, I insist, "that they foot all the bills, especially all gifts for my other girl friends ". Seems to work 100% of the time, so far. But could I be sending a few great ones packing? I never know.
