I know I promised no more complaining about taxes, but the Democrats ruined that less than 24 hours later by proposing a new tax credit for people claiming the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). This new credit would allow $5500 per child (up to 3 times) as a bonus for squirting out more crotch fruit than they can afford.

The credit will enable a woman with two kids to receive $16,000 as a tax refund without working or actually earning a dime.

All she would need to do is claim that she was babysitting and is now self reporting the $18000 she made. This amount would also qualify for Medicaid, WIC, $700 and month in food stamps, section 8 housing, a free cell phone, with the total benefits equal to $3,000 a month. Since her self employment tax would be taken out of her refund, she would earn credits to eventually collect social security as well.

No, better than tax free. This is a net income of $52,000 per year, without working a single hour. In order for a working person to earn that much, they would need to work 40 hours per week at more than $30 per hour.

It’s a farm system for making more little Democrats. In 18 years, you will greatly increase the number of little assholes who will vote for you to keep the money rolling in.

A Youtuber who calls his account Flat Circle History has been producing a series called “The Next World War” for the past year. As of now, there are 22 episodes of 10 to 20 minutes each, with one being released every few weeks. For the past 3 days, I have watched all 22 of them and I am waiting for the next one. Check it out- the first episode is below.

I would say that FPSRussia did a fair job of predicting Russian drone warfare, don’t you?

I said then, and I still think now, that the ATF wanted his channel off the air, so they silenced him the best way they knew how.

His business partner, who had an FFL and supplied all of the firearms for his videos, was found dead in 2013 of a gunshot to the back of the head. Two months later, his house and the houses of his friends and associates were repeatedly raided by the Feds, with nothing found.  ATF spokesman Richard Coes said the justification for the search was “that [Myers] was using explosives and getting paid for it via YouTube.”

Four years later, unknown persons mailed him a felony about of THC oil, which the Feds were somehow tipped off to, which allowed the ATF to raid his house, then charged him with 50 counts of possession of a firearm by a drug user.

If convicted, he was facing over 200 years in prison. He then agreed to a guilty plea for Possession with Intent to Distribute in exchange for the remainder of the charges being dropped. He served his 56 days in Federal prison, and now his show is gone, and his voice has been silenced.

Talking to people on the Internet, especially on social media, wears you down. Sometimes you get to the point, where you just tire of talking to the morons on there, all of whom are experts on things like military tactics and strategy, finance, police tactics, the law, the Constitution, and medicine. A couple of cases from my recent experience:

Finance

In a discussion of my recent post on the couple with the 538 FICO being charged 20% interest on a car, there was the guy who told me the law should cap interest rates at 6%. When I pointed out to him that this would force banks to stop loaning money to anyone with a FICO of less than 650, and would likely force them to require 50% down for those from 650 to 700. After all, with a 28% chance of default within a 12 month period and a cumulative 41% chance of default over 36 months, people with low FICO scores are poor risks for credit.

He told me I was wrong, then claimed to have received a Nobel prize for his work with Grameen Bank, when that bank saw an increase in repayment rates of 1000%. I pointed out to him that mathematically, it would be impossible for any bank to have such an increase unless their repayment rate was 10% or less before the change. He told me I need to educate myself. Then pointed out that a bank who has a repayment rate of 1 in 11, then sees the other 11 people begin to repay just had a 1000% increase in repayment. Never mind that this would mean 12 of the 11 customers are now paying, thus making it mathematically impossible. Not only that, but the Grameen bank is making loans of an average of $100, and is charging 20% interest on those micro loans. The bank does have a repayment rate of 95%, but it does this through local peer pressure.

This is how the bank works: A peer group consists of 5 people who live in the same village. Each of them individually receives a loan, but if any one of the five defaults, the others in the peer group are no longer eligible to receive any loans in the future until the delinquent account is brought current.

Borrowers must contribute to group savings accounts, and the savings accounts take the place of collateral. Rather like a secured credit card, the borrowers are essentially borrowing their own money at 20% interest. I don’t understand how that is worthy of a Nobel prize.

That’s the system he wants to emulate? Not to mention the fact that he clearly can’t do simple arithmetic. At the end, he accused me of being stupid in supporting billionaires who are earning profits through usury, and said I probably had a 450 credit score. Whatever.

Medicine

Then there was a story about a woman who was traveling at a high rate of speed and running red lights, and was spotted by police. The police tried to pull her over, but she refused to stop, instead turning on her flashers and waved out the window at them. After giving her several warnings on the PA, they performed a PIT maneuver. The woman stated she was driving like that because her mother was having stroke symptoms and she was taking her to the hospital.

I pointed out in comments that the cops don’t know that, and failing to pull over for the cops was a bad idea. After all, there is a non-zero chance of them hitting someone, they may not even be heading to a stroke center, and this would actually delay the mother’s care.

This mental midget came on and tried to explain to me that they weren’t headed to a stroke center, but to a hospital, or even an emergency room. I pointed out that I am a board certified ED nurse, paramedic, and certified stroke nurse. She said “So of course you will support calling an ambulance, so you can make an extra $2000 for an ambulance ride, and that’s the problem with US healthcare. They don’t need a stroke center, an emergency room will do just fine.”

I then pointed out that not every ED is equipped and staffed as a Comprehensive Stroke Center, so depending on the type of stroke the mother was having, they may not be able to deal with it, which would require that the ED call an ambulance to transfer her to the proper facility, thus delaying care (perhaps even past the window), whereas calling an ambulance to start with would have seen the mother taken to the proper place to begin with.

She then told me that I was wrong, and don’t know what I am talking about. She said “No emergency room will turn you away.”

A great example- my previous ED was a primary stroke center. The nearest comprehensive stroke center was an hour away. We had a Labor and Delivery department, but two nearby hospitals didn’t. We had a Level II cardiac cath lab, the next three closest hospitals didn’t. Every hospital and ED has different levels of what they can provide. The local ambulances know who can provide what services, and they take patients to each facility accordingly.

When you drive a person to the hospital, you likely don’t know that. If the person needing care has a problem that is beyond the capabilities of that hospital, care will happen, but not the best care. The best care for that person will happen after the person is transferred to a higher level of care. Few and far between are hospitals that are the best at everything. It’s expensive and difficult to staff every specialty doctor and the equipment they need, and many hospitals don’t have the patient volume to be able to do so.

In Person

Even in person, it’s no better. I was recently at a pineapple farm, and some idiot next to me actually told the friends he was with “I don’t understand why the put in all of this effort when they can just buy pineapples in the store for five bucks.”

Sigh. Some days, talking to the idiots just makes me weary. Talking to people is generally useless, and I just get tired of doing it sometimes. They don’t know what they don’t know, but are happy to beat you over the head with their ignorance. The older I get, the less I like people

This young woman says that she quit her job and doesn’t want to work, then blames capitalism and “this economy” as the reasons why she can’t spend her life in pursuit of things she enjoys.

This is an entire generation of spoiled children who are upset that no one will pay them to sit around the house all day playing video games and smoking weed. Her dream is to be a Tik Tok star, because she sees that as the key to living a life of leisure. This is the reason why Democrats are slipping towards communism. The young people all think that communism means the government will take care of you while you sit around and do nothing, but they never make the leap to asking themselves where the government will get the food, iPhones, Internet service, and all of the material goods with which to care for them.

It reminds me of a couple of stories. One was where my sister’s daughter, then aged 14, had a conversation about economics with me. It started because my niece made the statement that people should get things that are necessary for free, because we all have a right to the necessities of life. She used feminine hygiene products as an example.

I told her that I wasn’t picking on her, but pointed out to her that, since no one was paying for tampons, there would be no money to pay the people who worked in the tampon factory, so why would anyone work there for free?

Her first reply was, “Wait! There is a tampon factory?”

I said, “Well just where do you think tampons come from? Is there a tampon tree somewhere?”

She replied, “Well, in that case, I suppose you could get women to work there and pay them with free tampons.”

I said, “What would that be worth? If everyone gets tampons for free anyway, so why would they want to work there to get the free tampons everyone else gets? How are the women working there going to eat, buy gas, or buy a house?”

She said, “That’s my point. Money is stupid. Why can’t everyone just trade and barter for stuff? Why should we all have to go to work just to be able to afford the things we need to live? The government can just print all of the money we need.” That child is now 17 years old, and will be graduating from high school this year. She still has very little work ethic and still no understanding of the hows and whys of money and earning a living.

Her older sister is even worse. At 25 years old, she and her boyfriend live at home with mommy, but is saying that she is an adult and doesn’t have to follow rules. She doesn’t have a drivers license and depends on her mother for rides to work, shopping, etc. She went to college for a year, but decided that was not what she wanted, so now works as a waitress and refuses to help with rent, food, or any other expenses or chores around the house. She expects mommy to cook, clean, and do her laundry for her. No surprise: she is a hard core left wing Democrat and dresses like a walking freak show. Her days off are spent smoking weed, as near as I can tell. My sister gave her an ultimatum that she had to move out by a certain date. That date was October 1, 2022.

She is still living there.

This entire generation has an immature, childish way of looking at the world. This is a large portion of the youth of today. They want socialism because they don’t want to do anything but party, and they are believing the line that communism means someone else works in the factory (if they even think about it long enough to realize there are factories), someone else grows and transports the food, and they get to smoke weed and play at a life of leisure all day. I don’t know how we can reach them. It seems to be a lost cause. Instead of working for a living, they are voting for a living. This is why they are pushing so hard for illegal immigration- they need their slave labor to do the work they aren’t willing to do. It’s been going on for a decade.

I sound like an old man bitching about “these kids today.” Time to go do something productive.

The headline reads “Judges may have found a way to bypass 5th Circuit ruling upholding Trump’s mass detention policy” Since when are judges supposed to be finding ways to circumvent superior courts? This proves to me that our court system is just as partisan as the rest of the nation, and there is no justice to be found in the courts.

Stolen military explosives found in The Villages neighborhood, deputies say; residents evacuated. I know what this is, and it isn’t as nefarious as it seems. It happened once to me, back when I was working for the fire department. An old woman came to the fire station with an ammo can, told me that her Korean war veteran husband had passed away, and she didn’t know what to do with some of his old military stuff. The ammo can contained several hand grenades. I’m guessing that is what happened here.

Mark Zuckerberg becomes latest California billionaire to relocate to Florida amid tax concerns. A tale that is told thousands of times every day in Florida- rich liberals move here from other places because they don’t like the tax climate, but they continue to vote for the same bullshit that caused them to flee their old home states. Sooner or later, it means we become a liberal shit hole. Liberals are like locusts- they enter an area, devour everything of value, then move on to other fertile fields.

Teachers say ICE agents are ‘not the only ones with guns’ Remember when the plan to prevent school shootings from many of us was to arm teachers? Yeah the pushback from teachers was that teachers need to concentrate on teaching, not engaging shooters. I guess the same doesn’t apply when confronting ICE agents.
Microsoft announces that they are trying to eliminate personal computers in favor of subscription based cloud computing. You will own nothing and be happy about it, or else.

Hospital evacuated after 8-inch WWI artillery shell discovered in patient’s butt. We talked about this at the hospital. The funniest comment I heard was when one nurse said “Eight inches in diameter? Yeah, that isn’t the first time something was shoved in there.”

Now the left is realizing footage from ICE body cameras can be used against them, so they want agents to be forced to wear them, but want restrictions on them, so they can only be used against ICE, but not against anyone else.

It’s been tried before

• The Berlin Wall
• The fugitive slave act

Democrats just can’t think of any other way to keep their slaves on the plantation.

Its impossible that breastmilk differs for babies of different genders, because gender is a social construct.
