Who was that masked man?

 The mask stupidity will be with us forever, unfortunately, 
because they think it actually works...  
 
It's flu season again. Same as it was last year, and the year before that, and the year before that, etc., etc. Difference this year? No, the flu is the same as it ever was. No, it's actually stupider than that. 
In New York, New Jersey, Illinois and now California, hospitals are requiring people visiting patients wear masks. Yup - because they worked so well at containing Covid, didn't they? Anyway, I'm sure you noticed the one thing in common with all four of those states. That's right, they're all Dem-controlled, and, as such, all have called for ICE agents and law enforcement personnel to be banned from wearing masks while they work. Go figure...

You will never in your lifetime see politicians at almost any level ever vote for term-limiting themselves. Just ain't gonna happen - especially when you consider all of the perks and bennies they award themselves. 
What other job can you think of that after only five years of service you can retire with a nice, hefty pension. Five fuckin' years. Imagine that...

Last month, The Transparency Foundation, a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization committed to informing the public on issues that impact them, released a shocking report that notes that the “cost-of-living penalty” on the typical middle class family in California is $26,478.72. 

What that means is that it costs a family $26,478.72 to live there the the next most expensive state, Hawaii. 
The blame lies squarely on California state politicians for imposing “unreasonable and completely unnecessary cost-of-living-penalty.”

Reading an article about different types of engines yesterday, I found this little tidbit. I've always understand the basic concept of creating thrust, but this short definition just nails the concept.
'Jet engines are reaction engines, which means that they produce thrust by expelling reaction mass or reaction propulsion. This internal combustion engine was also in the minds of intellectuals in Ancient Egypt, but technology wasn't there until the 20th Century. Jet engines power jet aircraft, cruise missiles, spaceflight, and military missiles, among other things.'

Nope. Never did it. My mother wouldn't have any of it.

As life in the big cities gets crazier and crazier, 
eventually they'll vote themselves right in to 
textbook communism...

She was endorsed by the DC chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), who congratulated “our chapter member” after her 2020 victory in the Ward 4 election. “Janeese’s grassroots, people-powered victories, both in the primary and in the general election, show that Ward 4 residents are tired of the big business and developer-friendly politics … Metro D.C. DSA is confident that George will be an elected leader who stands with the working class,” the group said in 2020. 
Like Mamdani, Lewis George has faced criticism for her past support for defunding the police. 
“I will absolutely divest from DC’s Metropolitan Police Department and put that money into 'violence interruption programs.” she wrote on X in October.

We're pretty lucky - both of us are pretty happy with what little we have, and neither of us are spur-of-the-moment, compulsive buyers/shoppers. We have one credit card, and pay the balance off every month. I guess that makes us kind of unique in society these days...

  3. But, the "Acceptable" mask does not filter out viruses through the fabric, AND lets them escape around the edges! (And it becomes a breeding ground for bacteria and fungus that cause respiratory infections!)

  4. Home Rule for DC needs to end. Make the District the central government office area, the rest to VA and MD.

Tidy up or pay the fiddler...

This house is about four blocks from my house, and, yes, it is a shithole. A Villager has been given one week to remove debris from his prop...
