So many formerly principled people selling out to YouTube

 Do you all remember when UTube was sort of novel and fascinating? The good ole days when a poor couple, living off of government assistance could video their Baby farting, which would in turn generate a lot of page views at YouTube.  ' Viewers would flag it a a favorite and ghetto Mom and Dad would earn enough ad revenue to move out of the housing projects monetizing Junior's Flatulence.  Was reminded of times past after reading following Tweet: Michelle Joy Phelps @MichellePhelps ·Aug 1, 2019 Hey Fight Fans! I’m in this weeks issue of  @BoxingNewsED on stands today!  The big difference between Baby Boy cutely passing gas and Phelps is she begs you to subscribe to her channel when she interviews boxing legends like Marvelous Marvin Hagler about the way he got hit by bottles after he CRUSHED the ignorant racist Brit who  guaranteed he would not lose to a Negro. She is not the only one. A mathematician named Michael Penn did a back flip before working a chal...

Beggars have no expectation of Privacy

  The beggars sign, blocking his face, read "IN NEED, PLEASE HELP, GOD BLESS. I approached the able bodied pauper so I could take his picture. He immediately blocked his face with his driveling sign yelling obscenities and screaming I was stalking him when he was actually blocking us from passing thru with his baggage on a public sidewalk at the entrance to Sam's Club and Walmart in Roswell New Mexico United States of America. The hobo/beggar/bum/professional beggar was well aware of his rights. I am sure he has accused others, who question his money collecting attempts, of stalking him. I do have a close up of his face if any of your Chaves county natives may know whether this guy is really in need or is just too lazy to work.  We also saw him begging for handouts near the OReilly Auto Parts store you see in the background of the picture and at the Subway further South on Main Street US285 near Subway Sandwiches and also Dions. Indian writer  Rina Chandran writes ab...

My BrotherInLaw needs his Job!!

Image
 This picture that I found on Facebook reminds me of how New Mexico's governor can ruin people's life with the snap of her finger. It is picture from one of the school room buildings at the Military Institute in Roswell. The janitors there are working very hard to kill COVID and they flood the classrooms with some kind of blue light that KILLS Corona. I think the custodians have to stay up there an extra hour while the light is disinfecting the classroom and they have to put do not enter signs on the door until the light goes off. My brother in law is a janitor there and needs the money bad to take care of his poor family and wife who has trouble holding down a job even when times are good!  Rumors are being spread that NMMI will be shut down even though they are sticking to the rules and nobody is getting infected. I hope Grisham will get off her high horse and let the school stay open. Parents of the cadets paid for one on one teaching not the online CRAP that everybody HAT...

What else would you expect in the land of enchantment?

Image
Citizens of the great states of Mississippi and New Mexico always are 49th and 50th ranked in the USA for dubious honors. Both are relatively poor states with well below individual and family average and median incomes.  It is horribly depressing for the families in NM to live in T HE WORST PLACE TO BE A KID.    Rick Nathanson's credibility is on the line for that last claim. Under education and substandard health care are also major issues Take a look at the return envelope sent out via snail mail by BlueCross BlueShield(BCBS-more like BSBS for BullShitBullShit). BCBS wanted its valued customers to disclose if they had insurance from other carriers by filling out a confusing form and returning it the NO PREPAID POSTAGE return envelope you see above! It is actually a well thought out strategy by BCBS. How many customers will not hassle with returning this because they have to come up with 57 cents stamp to pay for the conveyance of this envelope via the sluggishly ...

Out of touch Small Town citizen

A writer from Lake Arthur New Mexico, wherever the hell that is, criticized the fact that RISD school system provides noon meals to K-6 school kids. Mrs Koenig only needs to talk to a few kindergarten or first, second, or third grade elementary school educators to realize that even during "good times", many students show up for the school day hungry, disheveled and dirty. Some even tell their teacher that mommy or daddy is in jail or was recently arrested for shoplifting. So in fact “the state”  is more well informed than Terry who may not have kids who are in the public school system and who really DOES NOT u nderstands the day to day issues of the Grisham imposed  stay at home order.

Private Property Fundamentals 101

New Mexico is the second poorest state in the USA behind Mississippi. This may help explain why one of their people who lives in a run down neighborhood on Cambridge or Washington Street or Road does not understand the notion of private property! Cynthia Hansen had to explain it to Karl Holmgren, otherwise a very intelligent human being who calls talking on the phone using a spatially immediate communication interface. Karl thought the military school in Roswell should allow trespassers to steal Pecans which is quite irrational for a man with a well rounded liberal arts education. Cynthia must work at the Institute that trains cadets to be 2nd Lieutenants in the Army. She was rather defensive, but correct in most of her moral assertions. Cynthia seemed pissed off that Karl thought the school's unwillingness to let trailer trash steal was not Christian. Karl is a good writer, but never learned to leverage his bright mind enough to live in a more upscale and secure neighborhood. ...

We all have to sell out a little to get the Life we Want

Just read an opinion column written by Newt's daughter lamenting the frequent disrespect of God's grace that Americans see on a daily basis. She has her head buried in the sand if she believes intelligent discerning citizens see her as a moral beacon or compass! Her work history includes a corporate finance stint where she was the chief financial planner for Bell South Cellular, a  $3 billion wireless company. Not a particularly spiritually edifying occupation. Jackie Cushman, at least, realized she was selling her soul to the profitability of corporate America.  So she got behind the pulpit and denounced Whoopi Goldberg and John McCain's daughter for getting into a verbal fight on national TV. Comon Miss Gingrich!, they are creating fake controversy to drive up the number of viewers so the commercial advertisers will pay more for ad spots!  Does that sound familiar? Remind you of your corporate profit mercenary days at Bell South? They have both sold out to corp...

Filling out that CV or Resume

Did any of you read CV and Resume article written by hiring talent recruiter Gary Burnison? Mr Burnison has no concern for your personal growth objectives and emphatically states to leave them off your curriculum vitae if you want to go to work for him. Would you want to work for a guy who has no regard for your strengths and ambitions? What is sad is many young graduating college seniors, eager to find their first job, will take Gary's pontificating as the gospel truth! I do understand why the chief executive officer of Korn Ferry would eschew the following Resume career objective "Looking for an opportunity to make a difference and change the world" This is obviously the work of  some airhead with no marketable skills being overly dramatic! Do not despair over one man's opinion emerging work force. You can still LAND THE JOB the old fashioned way by letting your potential future employers know what MAKES YOU TICK by enumerating those aspirations on your Resume...

A Mendicant In Northglenn, Colorado USA

Image
The Will Nots in the United States have grown to apalling numbers. The man you see in the picture below was begging on a major road near a Cracker Barrel in Northglenn Colorado. I am not talking about the Can Nots who have medical or mental conditions and are unemployable. I am referring to able-bodied men and women who are playing on the sympathies of God Fearing Christians. Many ignorant religious types believe they will burn in Hell if they do not help the meek and disenfranchised. They give to clear their conscious over the horny baby sitter they cheated with or the man the wife lusted over at work. The man, in his early 30's, was from Nigeria, Africa and was holding up a sign in busy traffic that said anything you can give me is a blessing. The black man turned his head side ways  as we took his picture. Maybe his mother will find this post and put her lazy son to work!

People who live in rent-stabilize Apartments should have fewer Privileges

Plenty of NYC citizens live in rent-stabilized apartments. The following snippet from an article written by Jennifer  Peltz details how some renters living in rent-stabilized apartments are mad that that they don't get the same benefits as market-rate renters. Nobody treats me like a second-class citizen in my own home," says Jean Green Dorsey, who filed a complaint with the city Human Rights Commission this spring over her Manhattan building's fitness center. She and fellow rent-stabilized tenants aren't allowed to enter it despite a willingness to pay a fee; market-rate renters use it gratis. First things first, Jean Green Dorsey is confused about the notion of home ownership. Jean you are a renter and you only have the opportunity to complain because you are paying lower rent due to tax payer dollars making up the difference in what the market-rate renters pay and you pay. You do not live in "my own home". You live in the landlords home, so ye...

Against increasing Minimum Wage for Fast Food Workers

The newspaper headline read fast food workers plan protest for US and other countries. Union representatives from Panama, Hong Kong ,New Zealand, Italy and Argentina assembled in New York this week to formulate their strategies for protests and demonstrations. One of the protester's demands is $15 per hour for any US fast food worker. This initiative is getting support from the service employees international Union which has around 2 million members. Our change president Obama and Democratic lawmakers will be delighted to raise the federal minimum wage in an election year. All the poor people and lowlifes voted him into office to begin with, so what's new? Giving fast food workers $15 an hour is the same thing as saying it's okay that you screwed off in school and made nothing of your life, the government and hard working tax payers will take care of you anyway. Part of the reason for the widely publicized income gap is the existence of lazy people who have ...
