Taxes Story

 “There are some... who argue that in the past, companies have passed on these costs to consumers. We feel that that’s unfair and absurd and the American people will not stand for that.”

-- White Press Secretary Jen Psaki responding to a reporter who says that proposed tax increases would trigger taxes to increase on the 'little guy'.

Never in the history of America (over 200 years) has taxes been imposed, and service/companies didn't pass the tax to the consumer/user.  

Psaki can talk about this and pretend an alternate universe exists....but companies will assess each tax....form a new business model, and quickly move to up their price.

This lack of economics knowledge?  Well....this is why I'd suggest that as people finish high school or college....they take a hundred days and just travel around the country to view reality.  

Why Aliens Wouldn't Want To Confess to Visiting Earth

 I generally have five ideas in my head revolving around the UFO/alien visitation business:

1.  If you were advanced (from 100 years more advanced to Earth technology, to 100-million years more advanced)....why do more than observe?  

2.  The Freak-Out problem.  Just in the US alone....there's probably more than twenty-million people who would not be able to handle such an announcement. Add onto it...the alien dudes might admit that they are the ones who delivered man to Earth around 200,000 years ago, that they orchestrated the Jesus-story, and that Elvis was one of their guys.

3.  As they gaze around....they figure at least a dozen different alien cultures have observation posts on Earth, and they've all been sold on the idea of remaining anonymous.  

4.  Once returning to the home-world....how would sit and describe President Biden/Trump?  No one would believe you.

5.  After you'd been talking for about six hours.....your alien buddy 'Gorg' would stop the chat and just say it's all BS.....you can't be serious about these crazy Earth folks. 

Booster-Chatter

 Some poll group asked a bunch of Americans (non-vaxx folks) how they feel about the Covid booster shots.

Response?  71-percent said that Covid booster shots means that the vaccine doesn't work as advertised.

I sat and pondered over this.  

For around 22 years of my life.....I got herded into the situation to get the flu vaccination each year (the Air Force felt it was 'good' for me).  Did it work?  I'd say that in ten of these years.....I still had the flu.  Sometimes it was for just 24 hours....sometimes for three days.  

So it hit me.....if I got the flu vaccination and still got the flu....shouldn't the Air Force have mandated another booster flu-shoot then?  It would seem logical. 

But another thought hit me as well.  If you had the vaccination shot, and four months later....had a antibodies test to tell you that it's already time for a booster.....and in four more months....the next test says it's time for another booster, wouldn't this lead to massive number of booster shots over a four-year period?

I suspect that as soon as you came to mandate booster #2....more than half of the pro-vaxx crowd would draw a line and say that's probably the limit.  So all of this negativity and vaxx-hype would double?  More or less.  

You can ask yourself....would you be taking the flu-shot and the flu-booster shot three times over one single winter.....to prevent the flu?  I would suggest more than half would just start laughing over the suggestion. 

Covid Immunization Made by God?

 "We are not through this pandemic. I wished we were, but I prayed a lot to God during this time and you know what, God did answer our prayers. He made the smartest men and women, the scientists, the doctors, the researchers — he made them come up with a vaccine. That is from God to us and we must say, ‘Thank you, God. Thank you.'"

-- Governor Kathy Hochul, D-N.Y. (the new governor, while preaching from the pulpit in Brooklyn on Sunday).

Kinda new on the approach to getting people to take the vaccination....saying it's God's gift/creation.

The only people logically then against it?  Well....they'd have to be atheists'.

Should Biden have taken this route and said that it was a Jesus-solution?  Well....the problem here is that President Biden would have said he was friends with a guy named Barabbas in his college days.

Maybe 'Normal' Isn't Normal

 Journalist: "How many Americans need to be vaccinated for us to get back to normal?" 

President Biden: "97%, 98%. I think we'll get awful close. But I'm not the scientist. I think one thing is for certain. A quarter of the country can't go unvaccinated and us not continue to have a problem."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I sat and paused over the question and the answer.

Why 97-percent?  Why not 100-percent?

But the next question is....what brings you to normalcy?  If you still had 300 people dying each day in California but 100-percent of people vaccinated....is that 'normal'?

What if you had 120 people each day in South Carolina sent into the hospital and on ventilators within three days....with ten dying by the 5th day.....and 100-percent of South Carolina folks vaccinated....is that normal?

What if you had 2,000 kids per day in America tested and positive for Covid, with 10 of them dead within two weeks....with 100-percent of all kids vaccinated....is that normal?

FYI, if you go view flu/pneumonia death numbers for Alabama in 2017.....1,174 folks who died via this method.  In California in 2017, it was 6,340 folks who died via that situation.  

Vaccinated People Who Still Got Covid

 Chris Rock, the comedian

Oscar De La Hoya, boxer

Bill Maher, comedian

Wendy Williams, promi

Hilary Duff, actress

Jessie Jackson and wife

Kevin Connolly

Paul Stanley, KISS band

Corey Taylor, acter

Barry Sanders, former NFL star

Melissa Joan Hart, actress

Piers Morgan

Nine members of the NY Yankees

List goes on and on.

So what you can take is that the vaccination has a certain effective range, and then, it ends.  The lack of science reporting/data collection?  It'd just lead to ask....why can't one simple 30-minute test be developed to say you have antibodies to mount a defense or not.  That should have been developed back in the early spring.  This shouldn't even be regarded as rocket-science.

Observations

 1.  62 vessels waiting (parked) at the LA port.  Huge backlog.  

My prediction?  At least three Mexican ports suddenly take on more business, and you see half of the LA port yearly business suddenly disappear.  

2.  This $600 transaction notice at your bank going to the IRS to 'monitor' rule?

What's pushed in this legislative piece in front of Pelosi currently is the rule that would force banks to report to the IRS each time you touched or moved $600 or more.  

Probable cost factor?  I would imagine banks making up a new monthly fee (if this occurs).  Just a wild guess, but it'd probably have to be near $5 a month minimum. 

Banks or businesses happy?  NO.....a lot of anger over this idea.  

3.  Governor Newsom (California) signing document to allow non-Americans to be on state employment rolls?  More or less.
