Barca beaten badly
The freaking Astros just can’t seem to clinch. And now they’re only 1 game ahead of the White Sox for home field in the divisional round. Better get it together. The AL Wild Card race is freaking awesome. And the Giants and Dodgers keep winning, but LA may (hopefully) run out of games to catch the Giants. And across the pond, Chelsea struggled, Munich dominated (again), ManUre won at the death, and Barcelona are circling the drain. And that’s sports.
A man for our time
Featured birthdays today are French finance minister (who would fit right in in DC today) Jacques Necker, drummer Buddy Rich, writers Truman Capote and Elie Wiesel, actress Fran Drescher, actor Eric Stoltz, infielder Dave Magadan, hippie jam band dude Trey Anastasio, infielder Carlos Guillen, tennis great Martina Hingis, and actor Tony Hale.
That’s it. That’s the list. And it’s the weakest I’ve seen in a while. So I’m moving on to…the links!
“I solemnly swear to not understand shit.”
So much for impartiality. Hey, maybe if you understood the constitution as written, you wouldn’t be disappointed all the time. Also, have some decency and STFU about cases currently before the court. Or recuse yourself.
OK, define “misinformation”. Didn’t these idiots learn anything from their mass banning stuff the last year that has turned out to be true or at least plausible?
“I’m going to exercise my Fifth Amendment right” is something I sure hope to hear a lot of during this fishing expedition.
Here’s some legit climate change happening right before our eyes. I wonder if the retards on the left will understand that this is a cause, not an effect.
Bold strategy
Isn’t this what Joe said to do? Also, he did nothing wrong, aside from picking those shoes he’s wearing.
When a progressive is getting booed in DC, he’s lost the messaging war. But I’ll give him credit for making a public appearance, at least. Also, how did they build that big of a TV set for a baseball game?
Illinois politics in a nutshell. Of course they need to pay lawyers out of campaign funds. Because they’re pretty much all criminals. And the people keep electing them.
“Come on, there’s no fiasco”, she said before cackling maniacally.
Uh, they’re just pondering charges? Sorry the kid was inexperienced, but negligence is a thing. And even if it was a group of cyclists, what he did deserves punishment.
This is beautiful. Enjoy it.
Now get out there and have a great day, dear friends!
So much for impartiality. Hey, maybe if you understood the constitution as written, you wouldn’t be disappointed all the time – written by dead white men slaveholders you forgot to add. typical biased libertarian
The constitution is, like, some old paper written by old dead white dudes that fucked their slaves, like, over a hundred years ago, and it is not longer pertinent in the age of totalitarian globalism, you freaks!
The leftist justices actually believe that. They think cases should be decided based not the constitution and the law, but on fighting for equity for marginalized groups.
Irony being Progressivism is rooted in a particular branch of Protestantism and was also a product of now old, dead white guys.
“YouTube is wiping vaccine misinformation and conspiracy theories from its popular video-sharing platform.”
It’s more a move to eliminate all of the channels holding the Dem’s feet to the fire who shouted to the heavens for 6 months that they would never take Trump’s vaccine and it’s unsafe.
They decided that not enough people were fooled into believing the idiocy of “scientific consensus” used to peddle their marxist globalist utopian dystopian world, so they have come up with a new paradigm – misinformation – to now outright censor. The problem with letting politics drive science is that it is even worse than letting religion drive science. Science gets things wrong, but you don’t fix that by forcing compliance and censoring dissent: you allow people to argue, use logic, data, and empirical evidence/models to prove they understand what the fuck they are talking about, until the real science wins out. Instead the totalitarians have decided they will coopt science to fool science illiterate morons to bend the knee to the whims of the kakistocracy.
OK, define “misinformation”. – misinformation is when you don’t trust top men enough and the more you trust top men the less disinformation it is.
There will be only one truth and that is the narrative. What’s the narrative? Whatever they want it to be. But yeah… corporations are people….
You must trust the latest proclamations of the Top Men though, do not look into the past proclamations of the Top Men, as those words were written by the Deceiver (BOM).
Misinformation is whatever opposes the agenda and narratives of the kakistocracy intended to keep people in the dark about how inept and evil the fucking top men are that are stealing the valuables and loading them in the life rafts they plan to use to survive the sinking of the ship they have caused. Note that they and their loot will be the only ones in the life rafts. The rest of us are left to fuck off and die…
OK, define “misinformation”
Russian collusion.
Little Misinformation.
“Didn’t these idiots learn anything from their mass banning stuff the last year that has turned out to be true or at least plausible?”
No, and they don’t care what’s true.
They learned that you can get away with covering for corrupt criminals and score wins despite whatever the truth is. And they also see no negative with the truth coming out later, cause by then they already got what they wanted, and they can just keep on fucking everyone over indefinitely since there are no consequences.
Here’s some legit climate change happening right before our eyes. I wonder if the retards on the left will understand that this is a cause, not an effect. – you say this but there is a CAGW argument that CO2 melts ice and ice melting shifts the earth which causes worse earthquakes and volcanoes
I know. That’s why I said some of the retards might say this is an effect from, rather than cause of, climate change.
If they can convince people that air conditioning and automobiles cause earthquakes they can convince people of anything. I’ve seen enough to know the people are gullible, fearful rubes.
Climate change is the religion of the anti-religious. If faith demands it – they will believe it.
Local global warming headline:
At least they have not told ugly women I wouldn’t fuck with your dick to withhold sex from their dudes to save Gaia yet….
Climate change is the reason you can’t keep squirrels away from bird feeders.
“That weapon was a different gun police found on his property, which was illegal because the magazine held too many bullets.”
If he can afford a Lamborghini, he can afford to leave NJ.

A wiser man would have already moved to PA.
Fuck NJ and fuck Joe Biden.

Also, those shoes look fine to me.
Yes. Also stop calling the cops.
Kinda my thought as well.
I’ll bet that the lawyers fees and court costs incurred when pleading down those felony charges, probably pretty close to 80k.

I was just thinking earlier: what fun it would be to be a fly on the wall at parties in the Hamptons and Martha’s Vineyard and the Napa Valley, listening to what the big buck Democrat movers and shakers are saying about President Shit-for-Brains.
“I never thought he’d actually try to do that stupid crap. Can’t we get that senile idiot under control?”
They are not talking about how bad Biden is. Biden is not calling the shot: they are. What they are talking about is how fucking ungrateful and annoying the unwashed fucking masses are for not just accepting whatever they are told to do by their betters…. That, and how to make the fucking ungrateful serfs that will not just accept the status quo and direction that the inept credentialed leadership class has set for the country, pay for daring to resist what these top men want.
As a youngin I was under the impression that Kilauea was always erupting. Like that was it’s deal, like old faithful but with magma.
That was my understanding as well.
Don’t you mean lava?
/pedant
The volcano contains magma. And erupting one has lava and magma. Damn, I took the bait.
Ummm, this is super-transphobic. Like yikes.
Damn, I took the bait.
Then my work here is done.
Yeah, it is actually a pretty active volcano which erupts on a fairly regular basis.
It was erupting when I was on the Big Island in 2018. My only regret from that trip is not taking a helicopter tour over the volcano.

“As the meeting began, Fiona Hill leaned over and asked me if I had noticed Putin’s translator, who was a very attractive brunette woman with long hair, a pretty face, and a wonderful figure,” Grisham writes.
“She proceeded to tell me that she suspected the woman had been selected by Putin specifically to distract our president.”

It’s kind of hilarious to have your own state department publicly deny that you’re attractive.
She may be attractive off work, but she looked like a tired Motel 6 maid at the meeting. Frumpy dress, bad hair, etc.. Easy to disprove that claim.
It must be that he was trying to “distract” Trump, not because she might be Putin’s mistress.
^this, it is too obvious to even have to explain.
Jealous harpie is jealous.
Her?!? She looks like Jeanne Tripplehorn.

WTF was a teenager driving an F250 to begin with? It had the rolling coal mod, that means it was probably paid for by his parents. Can we start holding parents accountable for setting up really dumb situations and then acting surprised when their little angel shits the bed on the world?
Shit… there were multiple girls at my high school who got fancy convertibles for their 16th birthday, and proceeded to total them during the first month of winter. They were rewarded by their parents with new cars.
I’d venture to say the parents will be held liable in civil court when the lawsuits start, rightfully, coming in.

If it is a stunt, whoever did it didn’t think about the message they were sending.

Either way, it makes one it doesn’t look good for the reliability of what these idiots are hocking. In the end it will probably go unnoticed. These are The View viewers that we’re talking about…..

Anybody else ever buy new socks and then the first time you put them on you realize the stitch is right on top of the toes and every time you stretch them, they rake across that stitch and it bugs the shit out of you?
Because I’m dealing with that personal crisis at this very moment.
Costco socks. Yes.
Obligatory.
I can’t say I’ve run into that particular annoyance.
When is the stitch not across the top of the toes?
It usually is, but not always placed as far forward as these socks. Plus the stitch is very pronounced. And you can’t tell it’s that way until they’re purchased.
Since you’re in TX now, you can get away with wearing tube socks under your cowboy boots.
I have my socks bespoke tailored so no. Who buys socks off the rack?
Normal people.
I hear if you make the socks all crusty and sticky, that problem goes away…
Wigwams dude, Wigwams…
I’m a fan of their “at work” socks.
I half-cleared out the rack of “irregular” Smartwool socks at the LL Bean outlet a few weeks ago.
Love Smartwool stuff.
Something that I started doing with socks several years back that I suggest to everyone. Throw them all away, all. Buy new packages. Wear them for a couple years and throw them all away again. That way they always match, they are worn out at about the same time, they are always the same brand. I never have to wort socks, I never have to look for the lost mate. They just all match, every time. Best decision ever.
And now a word from the Get-Money-Out-of-Politics Party
A group of Arizona Democrats backed by a network of deep-pocketed donors is laying the groundwork for a primary challenge to Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, organizers said.
Sinema, a moderate Democrat who is up for re-election in 2024, is at the center of a standoff within the Democratic Party over the future of President Joe Biden’s infrastructure agenda, and she has faced blowback for holding up the package from more than the usual suspects on the disgruntled left.
I guess Senator Hooker Boots is working out as planned. Time to go.
She’s been a pleasant surprise from my point of view.
Indeed – can’t figure out if she had more principles than I was expecting or is just politically savvy & knows her constituents aren’t as hard-left as her detractors.
Given her history of enthusiastic leftism, I would bet on “opportunism” and “self-advancement” over “principles”.
She’s probably looking at the election reform activity in AZ, and seeing her margin of fraud diminish. She’s betting on having to get closer to an actual margin of victory.
As ever, her biggest ally in getting re-elected is the Republicans, who simply cannot seem to put up a strong Senate candidate and run a good campaign any more.
Goddammit. S’posed to be ISN’T working out as planned

So the little shit wanted to roll coal? Fuck him and the asshole that gave him the keys. Assault with a deadly weapon.
1. TMITE. Not that I have trouble believing that spoiled 16 year old can be complete assholes, but Gell-Man bids me consider the source.
2. How exactly was that supposed to work? He pulls in front of the pack, slows down, hits the gas, speeds up, moves into the other lane, gets behind them, then accelerates into them?
Good question. but I, as a bored human, just want to get angry at something.
I see the morons in my own part of the country that roll coal. I therefore assume he (and daddy) is one of them. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
I’m curious to see the particulars. You have to roll coal out the back of the vehicle. So, did he pass them and then get back behind them or was he in the process of fuking with the mod while stomping on it to pass them and just wound up ramming them?
We need to explore the level of his douchebaggery to fully judge him.
Also, i wonder if this is the kind of thing that is still expungable when he turns 18.
… he in the process of fuking[sic] with the mod while stomping on it to pass them and just wound up ramming them?
That sounds entirely plausible.
Environmentalism can be bad but anti-environmentalism is worse. Fuck this little asshole. It seems like the authorities are doing all they can to protect this kid. Wonder why.

Can we just… stop? Really? Does anyone read that and think there is some justice to that?
They are setting the example for all that resist… Their will be no statue of limitations or exceptions for those that resist the mandarinate either…
She was a Nazi who worked at a concentration camp. She deserves what she gets.
I just wish they’d have gotten to her sooner rather than her getting to live for decades while those whose deaths she helped facilitate didn’t get that chance.
She was an 18-year old typist. I don’t think she actually facilitated anything.
Those lists didn’t type themselves?
The pen is mightier than the sword.
So sayeth Van.
She participated in the record-keeping of a mass slaughter. The only people working those camps were no-shit actual Nazis. She’s a piece of shit and I hope they hang her.
Actually, there were all sorts of non-Nazis that worked at labor and death camps.
– Jewish prisoners helped the Nazis exterminate persons. Should they be tried.
– Locals near camps provided food and goods unless the camps could make all that stuff. What about them?
-American businessmen helped Nazis before WWII started. IBM extermination computers?
All the real Nazi leaders who made real decisions are dead. They are going after tokens now.
Soros aided the Nazis in stealing property.
Hes never seen the inside of a EU Kangaroo court.
Notice the “Nazis” they go after are distractions from the Nazis currently running Europe?
If we are going after paper pushers, there are hundreds of thousands that work in the US gov that we should be going after before this secretary.
Talk about rolling coal. The guy is functionally dead already. The real truth will never out.
It’s a woman, who was 18 years old when it all went down.
What in the everloving fuck? An 18 year old typist? And she is a war criminal because she was working as a typist at a government facility where they were doing horrible things, that she had no part in and had no control over? This is fucking insanity.
You don’t think someone who prepared and maintained records at a death camp knew what was going on?
She was told they were cleaning house..
I am with you sloop that whether she knew better or not is no excuse.
^Absolutely. Justice was delayed in this case but no less deserved because of the time delay.
Of course she did. She was also 18, was indoctrinated since the 1930s, and was going along with official government policies and mandates (we see how hard that is to resist, just look at how many even here at Glibs are willing to roll over and accept the jab to keep to be able to make a living and participate in society; just imagine the differential in pressure coming from the Nazi party in Germany, and how much more serious resistance would be), and didn’t kill anyone or “facilitate” killing anyone. Let the punishment fit the crime. At this point going after a 96-year old woman for transcribing orders as an 18-year old is ridiculous. By that logic every German citizen alive during that time held equal responsibility and should have been exterminated.
But not everyone actively participated. It’s not like they were rounding up every day Krauts and sending them to work at death camps.
Also, 18 is an adult.
I understand your points and I don’t disagree, I just think the reaction is extreme given the circumstances.
And I get your points. I just don’t think anybody should get a pass because a certain amount of time has passed since the crime was committed.
It’s like all those 30-40 year old cold cases that are now being solved with DNA evidence. You don’t see too many people saying “nah, let’s not go after him anymore because it was so long ago.”
I’m a big proponent of justice demanding punishment. She needs to be punished. And since she’s a pureblood aryan, there’s a decent chance a 20 year sentence could mean an actual 20 years behind bars, master race and all that.
So you dont think statute of limitations are a good idea?
How is this lady supposed to (1) get a fair trial (2) defend herself at her age (3) defend herself when 99.9% of witnesses are dead.
You people realize that modern Nazi trials are show trials to distract the real Nazis that currently run Europe?
I for one plan to blame all of those here who accepted the jab as coconspirators of the American commies once Civil war 2.0 is resolved. By getting the jab, you make it harder for us unvaccinated to fight the tyrants.
You will pay 70 years from now.
Shall we hang the kitchen staff as well?
That camp wouldn’t have existed if people refused to build a road to it.
To be fair, those people probably wouldn’t have existed much longer after their refusal.
One wonders if more people had been willing to put their lives, careers, and reputations on the line for what’s right, before the Nazi machine snowballed to the point of being unstoppable within Germany, what the course of history would have looked like.
We may get to see the same result soon.
It was probably a dirt road, so not many people co-conspired to build that dirt road.
I don’t see any real distinction between a dishwasher and a secretary.
But why stop there? What about the farmers who sold food to the Nazis?
And, yes, for the vast majority of crimes there is a statute of limitations, at least in the US. Including accessory to murder.
The Allies even let Rudolph Hess live and that guy was Hitlers secretary and secretary for the Nazi Party.
So, does she get life in juvie if convicted?
*golf claps*
Ran out of actual Nazis long ago, running out of token Nazis, so all that’s left are fringe elderly.
I’m sure there some centenarian Deutchebahn worker that can arrested. Or the messenger boy at a Gestapo building. Or a farmer that sold potatoes to the SS. Maybe not the farmer himself, but his 16 year old son that drove it over that one time.
In total war, everyone contributes and is thus eligible for bombing.
The time to prosecute her was 50-70 years ago. Thousands of Germans (and scores of other nationalities under German control) were complicit in those crimes yet were never charged. Death camp guards who were far more involved than this clerk were acquitted on the grounds of acting under duress
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belzec_trial#Crimes_and_sentences_in_detail
Her real crime appears to be that she outlived real monsters so she must be made an example of.
My daughter is 14 months from being 18 years old. She lives in a much more female empowered society. She’s doesn’t have a fucking clue about life and she’s supposed to be one of the smart ones. I can’t imagine what it would be like for an 18 yr old barely woman to have to live through and in Nazi fucking Germany during WW2.
This is ridiculous witch hunting. Yes, what happened was horrible and atrocious. But that’s the problem with justice, it can’t undo or even hope to equal the atrocities.
We all make choices. We have to live with and accept the consequences of our choices. When the Nazi’s rolled into a town, the local 18 year old girls had to make decisions whether to resist or collaborate. The collaborators rightly faced the consequences of their choices after the Nazis were beaten back.
This wasn’t a collaborator but an actual Nazi who worked in a concentration camp. A quick death is too good for her at any age. I have daughters too and expect them to be able to understand that industrial scale murder of human beings is wrong by the time they turn 18.
I can’t get kids around me to stop wearing masks > maybe they’ll help save the world and go volunteer at some injections sites > fast forward 10 years, turns out they helped sterilize millions of people and blood clot a few hundred thousand.
Monday morning quarterbacking a boiling frog from 70 years later isn’t justice.
I had a college professor who was a Hungarian-German and member of the Hitler Youth. He told us stories of what it was like. He was too young to remember the early 30s well, but he recalls how the propaganda and group think grew to dominate in the late 30s. They were going to restore Germany and help the common folk. He says, looking back, that he was stupid, but children normally lack wisdom.
It was difficult to understand until recently.
95% of people would go along. Possibly more. Propaganda always works.
I’d say there’s a world of difference between being caught up in a movement and being actively involved in the slaughter of millions. Not every German worked in concentration camps.
And comparing being a worker in a concentration camp with an 18 year old at a Covid vax injection site who gives vaccines to people who voluntary go there for the vaccine is beyond absurd. A more apt analogy would being involved with the Australian police force who go door to door, strip away children from their parents, and then hold the children down while forcibly vaccinating them. And yes, if it turns out that the Covid vaccines kill those kidnapped and forcibly injected children later, those who participated in their murder should be held accountable by needle or lead.
Another point is that very few camps were death camps. Most were labor camps.
I find it funny that some people on here are falling for distraction tactics used by the current Nazis running Europe.
“When the Nazi’s rolled into a town, the local 18 year old girls had to make decisions whether to resist or collaborate. ”
Ask the Scholl siblings about resisting. Oh, wait. They were guillotined.

Dear cyclists:
If you want to commit suicide, try a warm bath and a razor blade, instead of riding in the country on roads with no shoulder and a 70 mph speed limit.
Also, the dumb bitch in Bozeman on her dry land skate-ski trainers in the traffic lane yesterday. I practically had to get in the median to miss her.
Don’t forget the rolling hills that make those roads even more fun to bike on.
/still rides on roads
This is why I attached a rear view mirror to the left handlebar. It will slow me down some but would save my life.
Yeah, no….
I’ve ridden one of those recently and said to myself “This is a bad idea.”
One new route I tried out was 20 miles of 40-55 mph two lane roads with rolling hills. Never. Again.
Festus, I’ve also got the mirror on my road bike. But doesn’t help when the car is popping over a hill and doesn’t see you.
Did you get her number?
We regularly get cyclasses who love to ride on our two-lane, no-shoulder roads that wind through wooded country. Last weekend I passed one doing <10 in a 55 zone.
Speaking of climate change
In Bucharest the summer was one of the hottest in memory, as duration of heatwave not necessarily maximum temps.
After that Autumn came early and it was a quite cool September. It was a cold September…. Before the…. never mind
Anyways October is looking to start 3-4 degrees bellow average as well. But it is nice.
October is nice weather in Bucharest. Cool but not cold, dry, sunny. Lows of 6-7 C highs of 18-20 C.
And in trivia, the warmest October temp ever recorded in Romania was 39C in 1952, followed by 36C in 1932. The coldest was -22C in 1988 with -19 in 1932 and 1938.

Initial funding for the Primary Sinema PAC came from Way to Win, a national network of wealthy progressive donors that spent $110 million last year, with a major emphasis on Arizona and Georgia, where Biden, Kelly and two other Democratic Senate candidates scored victories in historically red states.
“The people of Arizona voted for Joe Biden and the Biden agenda,” said Leah Hunt-Hendrix, a co-founder of Way to Win. “Sen. Sinema is opposing Biden’s popular policies, which are supported by broad, bipartisan majorities of Arizonans. If she continues to stand in the way, then we’re going to hold her accountable.”
Something something “nobody I know”…
I really fucking hate people with that “broad support” bullshit about any extremist (left or right) politician. You’re a fucking, lying piece of shit and don’t deserve to waste the oxygen you consume. If there was justice in this world, anyone claiming “will of the people” would be open game.

It’s the dirty little secret of progressive politics. Their biggest fans are the the extremely rich. Bigger tax burden? No, not after their lawyers and accountants are done doing their jobs. On the other hand, big government means lots of opportunities for cronyism for the politically connected. And, not surprisingly, that politically connected almost always includes the super-rich.
The connected rich will always be given a loophole to avoid the ass rape the political class wanted to inflict on its political enemies and the middle class.
It’s not only that they don’t get ass raped. They often actually benefit from the government’s screwing. The best example I can think of is Warren Buffet. As much as you hear about the brilliant stock picks, Berkshire Hathaway’s portfolio is mostly comprised of small-to-mid-sized businesses that they buy at a discount because the original owners don’t want to get screwed on taxes. And one of their biggest product offerings is “life insurance policies” that rich people buy to get around estate taxes. I don’t begrudge Buffet and Berkshire their business. But, anyone who thinks that “Kindly Uncle Warren” supports big government out of the goodness of his heart and is anything other than selfishly interested in his bottom line here should have their head examined.
I pointed this out to a Progressive singing the praises of Warren Buffet.
He said he didn’t see what Buffet was doing wrong.
Funny how these team blue mandarinate types are totes cool with evil rich people breaking the rules as long as those evil rich people peddle & support the totalitarian miasma the idiots lap up like a dog laps up puke, huh?
Let Buffet talk anti big government and totalitarianism, and they would want him hanged & quartered. Which is why most of these super rich assholes all vocally support totalitarians government agendas: CYA.

No, I think a good many are in on it. Markets are risky. Some other jerk is always liable to come along and build a better mousetrap than yours. Consumer tastes can be fickle. And, even if you do well, you always have to worry about even your suppliers and customers horning in on your profits. A friendly boot on everyone else’s face makes all that go away.

But did they?
And they also voted for senators that I assume have and ran on their own political positions as they relate to the states they are supposed to represent.

The ban on vaccine misinformation, announced in a blog post on Wednesday, comes as countries around the world continue to offer free immunizations for COVID-19 to a somewhat hesitant public.
This sort of thing is why, although I understand the arguments in its favor, I’m growing increasingly skeptical of Section 230 protection. Is there any way you can credibly claim that YouTube isn’t making a substantive statement about vaccines here? I have no objection to any source having editorial content. But, if everyone else has liability for that content, so should the social media giants.
They’re obviously coordinating with the bureaucracy on this. That’s a first amendment issue.

Let’s not pretend the rich are mostly rich BC of just hard work and not through extreme free market policies starting in late 70s
Sometimes I hit on a lefty that leaves me curious. How exactly do free market policies generate wealth absent work / value production ?
Yeah, sure man, whatever you say…
Jesus, these people are stupid.
If you ever want to watch a brain lock up – ask someone harping on “tax the rich” and “fair share” exactly how taking money from the wealthy actually improves the quality of life of the poor. This has nothing to do with wanting to make the poor better off.

In last hour NPR has been puzzling over why oh why child care workers get paid so little. No mention at all of supply and demand. Yet I’m sure all these people have heard of the concept.

From the replies
“Supply & Demand as a majority factor in economics is a dogwhistle for the overly simplistic view that there is no Social Power Inequity in economic exchanges. What’s the demand for food? And what do farm workers get paid? Conversely, why are CEO’s overvalued if it’s a gold gig?”
“Labour markets are much more shaped by power relations than supply and demand.Employers have much more market power than workers so neither pay nor conditions are determined by supply and demand but by need and ability to exploit.
You can call it S&D but S is forced and D is exploitative.
CEOs work the other way because they have leverage and cronies.”

There’s a massive child-care worker shortage and the market can’t fix it
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/there-e2-80-99s-a-massive-child-care-worker-shortage-and-the-market-can-e2-80-99t-fix-it/ar-AAKpzcU
There is only one solution: public investment. Child-care programs don’t obey the classic rules of supply and demand; many experts consider the sector a failed market. Parents are already tapped out, but the obscene prices they pay don’t come close to covering the true cost of care in such a personnel-heavy enterprise. Only programs serving the most affluent can reasonably charge more to boost wages.
Raising ratios or relaxing training requirements is an even more horrific idea — threatening the safety and quality of children’s experiences should be rejected out of hand.
Off course there are standard objective measurements of children’s experiences and they should not be subject to plebeian things like economics
Seems like raising children wasn’t all that huge an issue between the beginning of history and a few decades ago. I wonder what changed….
Childhood mortality was lowered and the birthrates dropped.
I’ll start: child care workers get paid so little because even people who can “afford” to send their kids to day care or hire a nanny can only afford so much. At some price point, the benefit from going to work instead of staying home becomes small, and people make the choice to stay home. So the price has to be low enough to prevent that. Hence, paying child care workers lower amounts.
I have a friend who has worked at a high end day care center for a long time (probably 20 years now) and she understands this. Why she’s still in the business, I don’t know, but I guess she’s content enough.
It goes beyond the economics of cost IMO db. I was on the board of my kid’s after school program (my ex volunteered me, of course), and the ladies there (a board of 12 people had 2 males, me and a beta guy), because they had cliques and were always fighting each other and nothing was getting done, elected me president to stop that shit (which I quickly did to all their chagrins). The lady that ran the place still tells me now, more than a decade after I quit that board after my 3 year reign as the director, that she misses me as that was the best 3 years the program had.
I came to understand the model used by these services to heavily rely on the majority of the bodies working at these places being young college kids pursuing education degrees doing the necessary internship work for peanuts. The program I was on the board for had some 140 kids there. There were 4 full time employees making average wages for that industry and some 18-26 college kids getting paid way below minimum wage for the experience (and we never lacked hundreds of applicants to pick from).
These programs would not survive if the cost went higher than a certain number, because parents simply wouldn’t think the cost worth it anymore.
What was the Norm Macdonald bit that was floating around recently, in order to teach second grade you only need to know third grade?

“S is forced”
We get employees who feel that way some times, not often. My favorite thing to tell them is, “There’s no armed guard at the gate.”
They never explore the idea that there is an alternative to child care. Maybe you could stay home with your children and raise them yourself?
Childcare is only a “necessity” for the liberated women who decided that they didn’t need a husband and could have a child and a career. They want it all and they want their subsidies to be properly laundered through the govt so they don’t have to admit that the only way they can have it all is by having everyone else pay for it.
Not just single moms, but two parents where neither one wants to spend all that much time with the kids. Au pair for those that can’t afford it. Also, Heidi Lenhart, would.

Arizona Democratic Party leaders are putting pressure on U.S. Sen. Kyrsten Sinema to back filibuster reform in order to pass voting rights legislation and support President Joe Biden’s spending plan. …
The state committee is giving Sinema until its January meeting to meet the following conditions:
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED – that the Arizona Democratic Party will closely watch Senator Sinema’s votes in the coming weeks and if Senator Sinema, does not vote in favor of Filibuster reform to change the Senate rules in order to allow the passage of The For The People Act – voting rights bill, the John Lewis Voting Rights Bill, or other urgent legislation, for example the PRO ACT, that has already passed by the House or if she votes against the Senate Reconciliation Budget Bill, also referred to as the Human Infrastructure Package or the American Families Plan supported by President Biden and the vast majority of Democrats in both the House and the Senate, or if she continues to delay, disrupt, or votes to gut the Reconciliation Package of its necessary funding, then the Arizona Democratic Party State Committee will go officially on record and will give Senator Sinema a vote of NO CONFIDENCE.
All of that legislation is horseshit that is not the prerogative of the federal government nor does it fall under federal authority.
On one hand, I’m a bit sympathetic. I would be very sympathetic if that resolution was put forth by the AZ legislature.
After all Senators are supposed to be there representing their state’s interests. Of course our education system has completely failed in teaching that distinction to their clients.
They have a tied Senate and can only pass legislation with the VP’s vote. That’s nowhere anything near any sort of a mandate. And Arizona is a swing state. Why the Arizona Democrats think Sinema is going to fall on her sword to give them a win to shore up a failing president is beyond me.
I was thinking about writing something about how rolling over would kill her chances of re-election, but if she did you can bet the DNC would absolutely deluge her with money and support for the effort. She would have a real shot at retaining the seat, regardless of the voters’ opinion.
you can bet the DNC would absolutely deluge her with money and support for the effort
I’m not so sure they would. Like any business, they’re strategic with their spends. If Sinema gives them what they want, what does she have to hold out for them? Why spend all that money and support on her when there are other races that will be more winnable?
I’m thinking it would be worth it to them to hold a Senate seat in a nominally sort-of red area.

A small addendum:
…taking money from the wealthy and giving it to the government…
Brain lock up? Not my experience – said tax slaver usually has a long string of programs to rattle off about how the poor will be helped if only “you rich, uncaring bastards paid your fair share.” Lock up usually only covers the “fair share” definition, which is usually expressed as “I don’t know, but it needs to be ‘more’.”
They never have a clue how to actually benefit the poor, as most of those programs are for the middle-class (because that’s where the votes are).
And you ever notice that a lot of these people are rich, but their definition of “rich” is just slightly above where they are? It’s always those other rich people who need to pay more, not them.

What’s plan C?
Democrats had pitched parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough on legalizing millions of undocumented immigrants by making a change to the date for when undocumented immigrants within the United States can apply to adjust their legal status.
But MacDonough told Democrats that the option was a non-starter, according to a copy of the guidance obtained by The Hill. Democrats are pursuing other back-up plans with the Senate referee, according to a source familiar with Democrats’ strategy.
Changing the registry date is a “weighty policy change and our analysis of this issue is thus largely the same” as for Democrats’ previous proposal to provide legal permanent resident status to some immigrants, MacDonough told Democrats in her guidance.
“It’s unfortunate. I disagree with her … but we’ll go to plan C,” said Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.).
Was Plan B to kill all those undocumented kids the day after?

Why does this not work both ways? If you want better protection from covid than just vaccination, get infected too.
Yea, the vaccine offers much longer lasting protection. By the way, don’t forget to get your Pfizer™ booster shot every six months for the rest of your life!
And keep updating the term “fully vaccinated” to match. (which is a term about as retarded as “full semi-automatic”…)
Fixed that for you.
And from local news:
Need for Pfizer booster doesn’t mean vaccines don’t work: Cuyahoga County COVID-19 briefing
In fact, that protection is variable and not long-lasting,
In fact, it seems that the entire history of virology and immunology has suddenly ceased to exist.
so vaccines are still recommended.
For instance, until recently it was considered dangerous to get a vaccine for something from which an individual has already recovered.
If you’ve recovered, there’s no benefit to the vaccine, so whatever risks it has, however small, mean you shouldn’t get it. This ain’t rocket surgery.
And if you didn’t recover, then you don’t need it, either.

This whole going after Sinema thing is example #298,494 of how out of touch they are. Biden was billed as a “moderate Democrat” just like Sinema. That’s why people in Arizona voted for both of them. But Biden’s gone full left and she’s not on board, so she’s the problem.
You take the bait and we make the switch – it’s like America doesn’t understand the Democratic party.
After all these years voters still haven’t figured out they’re being lied to.
The republican political party is a party of lying status quo shitheads that want approval from a media that hates them. The democrat party is a crime syndicate, and the people that support them are mentally disturbed and actually admire the ruthlessness of the crime bosses.

Sebelius said, “I think what President Biden has done is balance between what the science says and trying to cajole, encourage, make it easy for people to follow the science. When that turned out not to be as effective, then he turned to more hardened mandates. But what people don’t have a right to do is make other people sick, put other people in jeopardy, risk other people’s lives, risk children’s lives. So I think the president has been walking a line of balancing science and safety and security at every step along the way. Hoping that the mass majority of the American public would follow that lead.”
This angle really grinds my gears. Either the vax works or it doesn’t (and will not work for a coronavirus…). How about we let people practice medical autonomy and personal risk assessment.
She added, “It’s a lot like secondhand smoke. You have a right to be a smoker. The science is very clear what smoking will do to you, what cancer will be caused, what kinds of health conditions. You have a right to be a smoker. You don’t have a right to smoke next to my desk, to blow smoke on people, on my children, to force me to live in a housing facility where I am subjected to more smoke. That is a line that we have in this country, which delineates what your individual rights are. I think we’re looking at very much the same situation. OSHA, you’re absolutely right, has always provided guidance and mandates about safety in a workplace. This is not a safe workplace if I’m working with a person that may make me and my family sick. That’s not acceptable.”
Actually it is not like that at all.
All this vaccination talk is just one big exercise in circular reasoning. Instead of being honest and saying vaccines can keep people from being seriously ill, and that’s it, the argument is that vaccinations protect you and everyone around you, but not from unvaccinated people, so everyone needs to be vaccinated so they can be protected even though they’re not.
And there are all these lies and contradictions from the “public health” establishment, but we’re still treated like the crazy anti-science nutjobs because we don’t immediately believe and obey them.
Well, it is in that second hand smoke is bullshit.
Actually, it is just like secondhand smoke – the risk the Unclean pose to the Elect is vanishingly small, just like the risk of second hand smoke to non-smokers.
Or, what the Potato said.
You could use the same argument for driving, and I’m sure they will.

That’s actually great news. How soon before the dumb fucks try to blow it up?
How many people in Minnesoda read the New Yorker?
If I were a “mogul” of anything, the very first thing I would do is make sure I lived absolutely nowhere near New Jersey.
This is embarrassing: I always knew the name Hüsker Dü, but I couldn’t think of anytime that I’ve heard their songs. I thought it was just a joke name like The Lone Rangers (which is hilarious and Airheads a great flik).
I just got started listening to Zen Arcade. I’m like 3 songs in. HOLY. FUCKING. SHIT. I’ve been a drummer in like 8 bands, not counting hundreds of just live jam sessions in bars/etc…and it’s fucking blowing my absolute mind away. I’m ashamed that I didn’t know about this, but mostly just curious why I wasn’t exposed to it. Granted it happened well before my origination, but I still listen and love Muddy Waters and other shit that came well before my time.
This is interesting. I am…feeling a fall-in-love vibe with a band for the first time in doG-knows how long. This is a bit crazy, and I’m in love with it. Swoon. The way a drummer can swoon to something hitting him that hard. Wow.
I thank Tundra for this. Little Miss Information got me started on this kick.
Thank you. I legit mean it.
I still dont know how these people find this obscure music
Meh. Age? Nationality? I just learned that Dave Grohl didn’t like that people were calling Nirvana’s Nevermind ‘brand new’ or something. Something along the lines of: “What we were doing was nothing new! Hüsker Dü was doing it a decade before us.”
And listening now…um…there’s a lot of truth to that. That album is blowing me away.
My contribution to obscure music.
In my teen years I started listening to WXRT in Chicago. And I still listen to it. It’s been consistently great for decades, and it’s where I’ve always found music that most people would consider obscure.

You’re just beginning. Candy Apple Grey is my personal fave, because it contains one of the finest pop songs ever recorded.
Coincidentally, I linked a Nova Mob song up above. That was Grant Hart’s band after Husker broke up. Also be sure to check out Bob Mould’s solo work, includng Sugar.
I’m glad you found them. They’ve been part of my life for more than 40 years
Oh, that wasn’t a coincidence. That Nova Mob song and The Rabbit Hole it led to directly led me to Zen Arcade. But I must listen to that album first. STOP TEMPTING ME. I can only get SO erect.
Husker Du is the beginning of the beginning. The primogeniture. Flip Your Wig will… flip your wig.

The pandemic must be over.
Check out the “we’re gonna make a profit” spin. Idiots.
Although this story does lay waste to the OMG VARIANTS scare.
Except that if you factor in the “improvements” they made, then they will lose a bit over a million dollars on the deal. But sure, you sold it for more than you bought it for. I guess it is better than losing all $6M.
I put “improvements” into quotes because I saw an article yesterday (but can’t find it now) that says that the facility had a bunch of leakage that needed to be repaired and it still didn’t work well enough to even store the PPE.
It’s government accounting. The “improvements” were paid from a different fund.
Inconceivable
The top border official in the Biden administration admitted to being caught off guard recently by the spike in delta variant coronavirus cases among migrants at the border.
“What I didn’t expect was the tragic rise of the delta variant,” Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said during a Monday speech at the Migration Policy Institute’s annual immigration law and policy conference in Washington. “I did not expect to be in late September where we are.”
Mayorkas, who has for months refused to speak on the risk that infected migrants who are released into the United States pose to border communities, said upwards of 20% of that population are sick with the highly contagious disease.
“Sick”?
“highly contagious”
Hahahahaha.
I do, however, believe Mayorkas is full of shit.
Caught off guard. Because nobody could have possibly seen this coming.
It gets better – did you know we’ve have had COVID restrictions tamping down crossings?
OFFS.

NH Journal on the protest at yesterday’s NH Executive Council meeting
WMUR was at least a bit more honest and called the folks behind the protest “anti-vaccine-mandate” instead of “anti-vaccine”.
Amid shouts of, “We know where you live,” a mob of angry, anti-COVID-19-vaccine protesters forced the cancellation of Wednesday’s Executive Council meeting before it could get started.
Anti-vax activists associated with the group ReOpenNH were protesting the Council’s consideration of a $27 million contract to expand the state’s efforts to promote and distribute the vaccine.
The dozen or so protestors effectively took over the meeting, roaming among the attendees shouting complaints about access to Ivermectin for COVID-19 treatment, repeating false claims of “thousands of deaths” from the vaccine, and warning vax supporters they would be treated the way Nazis were treated after World War II.
“You’re going to be held accountable,” one woman cried. “Maybe not now, but years from now — Nuremberg trials!”
“FEMA camps!” shouted a man wearing a Karen Testerman for Governor t-shirt, referencing a conspiracy theory about government roundups of non-compliant citizens first circulated by progressives against then-President George W. Bush.
So… what really happened?
Agitators opposed to the “anti-vaccine-mandate” crowd showed up in a false flag op to discredit opposition to the mandate?
They were originally going to have the meeting at a FEMA camp in Nuremberg, but it was cancelled due to Covid.
I may have gotten the details wrong.
A bunch of folks not affiliated with Reopen NH, but who are also opposed to the vaccine mandate and the Federal contracts being considered at the meeting, decided Reopen NH wasn’t confrontational enough. So those folks got up and disrupted the meeting.
referencing a conspiracy theory about government roundups of non-compliant citizens
Didn’t this actually happen though during Katrina? I recall recently watching video footage of the National Guard going to door to door in New Orleans, forcibly disarming residents, and then confiscating any firearms in the house. I assume if the residents didn’t comply, they would be rounded up (if not shot). Without the roundup threat, the gun owners could have just said “no thank you” and slammed the door on the NG without repercussions.
Well, when you go after people who just want to be left the fuck alone by threatening their jobs if they don’t inject a foreign substance that they desperately don’t want to inject then those people are going to get worked up. Maybe not Nuremberg but hopefully this shameful episode will one day be looked on with the same horror as the vaccination of Atlanta black folks in the 1890s newspaper story someone posted a few days ago.
Can anyone recommend software (preferably Linux but Windows will work too) to rip audio tracks from a DVD? I bought a boxed set and assumed that the audio from one of the live DVDs would be duplicated on CD but that was not the case. I’d like to have the audio tracks separate for easier listening.
Is that legal?
I own the physical media, it should be legal in the US to make a backup copy.
It is. It’s called format shifting.
VLC? I think you can access the separate video and audio files but not sure if the audio tracks are in a format you can listen to.

Excellent, thanks!
Putin broke 2 weeks of self-isolation to meet in person with Erdogan, who seemed unimpressed with the Russian president’s self-proclaimed antibody level.
“It’s very low,” Turkey’s leader said. “My antibody level, for example, is above 1,000.”

Oh great, another big dick contest for Biden to get drawn into. Wish I could find a link to that piece of art with Obama and Putin swordfighting.
I am relieved that you cannot find a link to that piece of art with Obama and Putin swordfighting
Erdogan vs. Putin is the rivalry we deserve.

Is audacity still around?
I have Audacity–will it do that?
That’s a good free DAW, I use Sonar Producer myself, but it’s pricey,
I have Ardour DAW installed on one machine, but it doesn’t have a DVD drive in it. I wonder if it can do the track separation.

Not complicated enough to be an FBI plot. They released the actual footage of the incident so it’s not a false flag…
Could still be a false flag. I kinda doubt it, but its way too early to rule out this was antifa (molotovs being kinda their signature), which is none too pleased with the Dems these days. The American flag mask could be simple misdirection.
“They’re stealing our schtick!”

Molotovs for we but not for thee.

It’s stupid enough to be Antifa.

A Megacomet—One So Big, It Was Previously Misidentified As a Dwarf Planet!—Is Approaching Our Solar System
In 2014, two astronomers at the University of Pennsylvania, Pedro Bernardinelli and Gary Bernstein, discovered a similar celestial object. It appeared to be much bigger than the Great Comet, but its precise size had remained unclear. In fact, it was initially misidentified as a dwarf planet, but was later reclassified as a comet after it showed signs of activity.
Now, scientists from the International Dark Energy Survey Project have determined that the new “megacomet”, named Comet C/2014 UN271, has a diameter of a whopping 160 km! Its mass is more than ten times the mass of the Hale-Bopp, and it’s currently heading towards our solar system.
100 mile diameter? “Signs of activity”?
THAT’S NOT A COMET!
MEGA COMET should be a new Cryptid.
It’s MAGA Comet. It’s the greatest comet, huge, really, and the classiest.
Does it have us caught in a tractor beam?
