In a town 60 miles from mine, a couple of years ago, the town council condemned the private ambulance service, forced them out of business, and turned the ambulance service over to the fire department, which, at taxpayer expense, bought new ambulances and hired EMT’s or some sort of semi-doctors to take care of the […]
Remember back in the 1970’s, when there were long lines at gas stations? There was no gas, and people often ran out while waiting in line. America, literally almost ground to a halt. Why wasn’t there any gas? Because idiotic government decided, in all of its normal wisdom, that gas and oil were just too […]
Everyone loves a bargain, no matter where one finds it. A local restaurant we love has wines at 25% off on Wednesday nights, and we often go there to get a bottle of wine we like, even though at 25% off, we could still buy it at a fourth of that at a liquor store, […]
Spring is coming, and it is impossible to visit Las Vegas, Orlando, plus many other places, without being bombarded with time share hawkers on every street corner, promising you free tickets or other such stuff if you will just ’attend a meeting.’ Of all the American sales schemes, the time share condo is perhaps the […]
In modern times, it has become common for most people to forget the very principles on which America was founded. The Constitution and Bill of Rights tells government what it cannot do, for all practical purposes. Look at any of the sections of the Bill of Rights. The first says there shall be no national […]
I well remember the prices of gold at about $250 and silver at $4 a few years ago. If we could turn back the clock and buy them at those prices, all of us would. Hind sight is always 20/20. If we could buy a new home for $76,500, or a gallon of gas for […]
I previously commented about the guy who was making his own dollars out of silver and paper. He was arrested and his stuff confiscated because he was making “Dollars.” He had been warned over and over again and kept up. The title of this, “Vallars” is a historic fact. In 1931, after the stock market […]
I have a client who wanted to get a full rundown on all he had bought from me. Since nothing is on a computer, but only on 4 X 6 index cards, it took a bit of time, but I got it and have satisfied his desire. Nice guy! Have never met him, but I […]
Can anyone deny that the mentality of the world’s population is lower than it was in the past? In my opinion, the world’s population is far stupider than it was a hundred years ago, and getting dumber as each year passes. Why? Dumbing down, is caused by, automation, freebies, handouts, and welfare of all sorts […]
We all know what “BS” stands for, don’t we? I am of the opinion that there’s a lot of BS out there. On the internet, in politics, and economics, there’s so much BS that it’s hip deep. From time to time, I am going to examine various examples of “BS,” and try to expose them […]
