Yes, tax the Super Rich. Tax them now. Before the other 99% rise up, trigger a new American Revolution, a meltdown and the Great Depression 2.
We know the Super Rich dont care. Not about you. Nor the American public. They cant see. Cant hear. Stay trapped in their Forbes-400 bubble. An echo chamber that isolates them. They see the public as faceless workers, customers, taxpayers. See GOP power on the ascent. Reaganomics is back. Unions on the run. Clueless masses are easily manipulated.
Even Obama is secretly working with the GOP, will never touch his Super Rich donors. Yes, the Super-Rich Delusion is that powerful, infecting all America.
Heres how one savvy insider who knows described this Super-Rich Delusion: The top 1% live privileged lives, arent worried about much. Families vacation at the best resorts. Their big concerns are finding the best Pilates teacher, best masseuse, best surgeons, best private schools. They arent concerned with the underlying deterioration of America or the world, except in the abstract, because they arent directly affected by it. Thats not to say they arent sympathetic, aware, or dont talk about the issues you bring up. They are largely concerned with protecting and enhancing their socio-economic positions, ensuring their families live well. And nothing you write about will change things.

Wish my table could do that.
Would be quite useful.
Oh, dear.
If we have a revolution I am sure Obama will have the military bomb any federal troops, including the military, trying to put down the revolt, just like he did in Libya.
Thanks. Tomorrow is another day. I have till the 11th. That will give me time to not only take care of the patio but compose a (restrained) letter to the housing authority about the difficulty of their demands on the residents.
What they do with the info will have to be taken up with them and the ADA...since I plan to send a copy to them (ADA) about the difficulties here. I’d like to see them weasel out of THIS one.
(Some days, my brain actually WORKS!)

Oh-ho! NOW those dust bunnies area REALLY in for it!!
Good for you! Fight ‘em with all possible polysyllabic restraint!
Sorry, I couldn’t think of anything to say but “Oh dear!” I took a pill for the sneezies and it made me fuzzy, and then I went to the gym and got even fuzzier ... but strong and sveltiful.
We talked about animals at Sunday School tonight, always a popular topic with the first grade. I reminded them to be kind to snakes!
When my brain works properly, I’m formidable. (I coulda been a contendah!) When it doesn’t work, I may as well take a long vacation.
I think my walk today (2.5 miles?) helped me to think of being sveltiful. It was a good feeling. NOT!!!
Snakes are needful. I don’t care for them, but I know they are on the earth for a reason. As are mongooses and cheetahs and gnus....
Well, that explains what happened to mine. Spent the day on mostly mindless stuff, but cut through a big backlog of same.
Booked most of my trip to Germany, except for the trains. Snagged non-stops to/from Paris with leisurely departure times for once. 1:30 PM from Seattle, and 10:30 AM from Paris. Upside is they're on Air France whose trans-Atlantic service is usually good. Downside is they're on Air France who dings me on elite qualification miles if they think I didn't pay enough for the ticket.
Yup. there's no gnus like good gnus!
Most of my days are mindless repititions of the days before.
However, when I’m good, I’m VERY good!
I don’t want to travel unless I can drive, and that ain’t gonna happen any time soon! (Unless I get LOTS of prayers!)
Unlees the gnus is, “Hi, Honey! I have gnus for you!”
Yah. Gnus feeds can be expensive. *\:^P
Before my table can do that, my ROOM has to be able to do that, unless you know where I might come by a slightly used Tardis on the cheap.
Now THAT would be cool.
Even cuttlefish.
Well, “all you’d need” would to decide how big you wanted it to begin with, then cobble together some Disney-sized mechatronics for both the pop-up floor AND the drop-down ceiling...
It’d be super-bitchin’ THAT’S for sure.
Dang.
I got me thinkin’ and the end result is just gonna be WAY to ‘spensive fer me ta build.
I just hate it when that happens.
Crud. Prayers still up for a breakthrough.
