More madness

The conspiracy theorists are too much.

Morons, who've probably not graduated from the eighth grade, are somehow "experts," on such esoteric topics as how load propagation works on high rise buildings during an uncontrolled fire.

Funny thing about that is this; I AM.

UPDATE: Note the overt end-around on the "thinking," here. Instead of looking at the reality of the situation, as it happened, and simultaneously KNOWING what the extant circumstances were, he's looking for excuses to his hair-brained bullshit.

Details

They're important.

I can also attest to the veracity of the argument being made regarding the collusion and price-fixing aspects in the"healthcare," industry; you see my father was an administrator for a large, university-affiliated internal medicine practice for the better part of twenty years, and he told me all about stuff like this.

I've known about this price-fixing aspect of the provider/insurer racket, and that's what it is, since I was about 15.

Ms. Barnhardt's Key graf;

"How could something go from being completely unnecessary and even illegal, to “necessary”, required by “law”, and being a larger cost than most people’s rent or mortgage payment? 

Doesn’t this seem very, very, very wrong? 

Of course. 

It is one of the biggest scams in monetary terms ever executed, and as you all have just witnessed, none of the psychopaths in your kleptocracy has any intention of doing anything about it except to grow it and protect it. 

But, but, but… the quality and sophistication of care and technology justifies the increase in price, you say? (Quoting Karl Denninger - Ed.) 

Three words:LASIK Vision Correction. 

Free market, not covered by insurance, all prices posted and advertised.MASSIVE price deflation with simultaneous technological advancement.It’s down to $250 per eye now, I see. 20 years ago it was $5000 per eye. I’m no math genius, but that appears to be a 95% reduction.This would be exactly the case with heart bypass, cancer treatments, childbirth, and pretty much everything else. EVERYTHING. Except for the collusion, price fixing and price gauging that the current healthcare racket is built upon. Almost everyone could pay cash for their own healthcare expenses..."

Note that whenever something is altered or required, be it the food you eat, the clothes you wear or the car you drive, by law, there are dire consequences to the cost/benefit ratio of said service/product per dollar.

Corollary; The government fucks up everything they touch.

Just about time to do something about that, on a grand scale.

Or in other words, Production versus Consumption

The Red Playbook is simply FILLED with lies about how this actually works.

Please, do give it a good read.

And about those battle lines that Robert mentions; please, give no quarter to the enemy when the country goes white hot.

Wanna vomit?

A lifetime achievement award...at 37!?!

I'd laugh, except it's not funny.

Come to think of it, aren't these things usually given to those who are at the end of their careers?

Perhaps someone knows something I don't...

Red failure at Economics 101, yet again

It'd be funny if it weren't for the dead and starving people in Venezuela.

And the irony is, of course, that Maduro the Moron™ actually thinks that his ham-fisted "rules," are going to solve the problem.

Stupid Is As Stupid Does.

Ostrich Syndrome strikes again

My wife read this story to me at about 6AM today, from some German news website.

Came to work and had to actively search for the same story on the Big Fake News websites.

Can't imagine WHY they are not putting this kind of thing on the front fucking page, considering that when similar events take place in the U.S. the usual Gun-Laws-Are-Too-Lax-in-the-Redneck-Controlled-U.S. bullshit, 24/7.

And the legacy media wonders why they have a credibility issue here.

The Germans have properly vetted their "asylum seekers"

Yeah, right.

And the idiot Leftists in this country are just certain we should do the exact same thing.

I'm getting out my sap this weekend and I'm going to start carrying that with me too. Punishment is in dire need of being exacted upon the guilty, wherever encountered.

I'll take it!
