Dr. Keynes Was Right: Bait

The Kleptocracy of Muskistan, Unelected, Welcomes You

The world is not linear.
-- Dr. McElhone/1974

[T]he massive push to relocate federal jobs outside the Beltway comes with the risk of kneecapping agencies through the loss of experienced workers and bogging them down in logistical minutia.
-- Curt Devine/2024 [that's the point: make the Damn Gummint incompetent, then destroy it because it's incompetent]

There's a fine line between one person and 10 people with H5N1. By the time we've detected 10, it's probably too late.
-- Rick Bright/2024 [it's gotten worser, and worser, and worser, and worser]
I don't know if the bird flu will become a pandemic, but if it does, we are screwed.
-- Angela Rasmussen/2024 [Bonzai!!]

Buck {Showalter] has always reminded me of something his father once told him: "The jobs that are easy don't pay very well."
-- Mike Lupica/2023 [and don't qualify them to run anything; sub-GED knuckledraggers take note]

As mass production has to be accompanied by mass consumption; mass consumption, in turn, implies a distribution of wealth -- not of existing wealth, but of wealth as it is currently produced -- to provide men with buying power equal to the amount of goods and services offered by the nation's economic machinery.

-- Marriner Eccles/1951

This Week's thought

[Scotland's HPV] vaccination program began in 2008, and so far the women who were vaccinated as 12- or 13-year-olds have shown not one single case of cervical cancer. And the rate in women who were vaccinated at later ages was 80% lower than the unvaccinated. Cervical cancer is almost completely preventable through such vaccination programs, and the anti-vaccine activists who have come out against them (such as the dangerous fool nominated to be secretary of HHS) can go to hell.
-- Derek Lowe/2024 [the morons will be running the asylum, if we let them]

See you next week in a brand new show^{©Heckle and Jeckle}

Bait

You'd think by now that the Lamestream Press would have figured out soonToBePresident Huey Long 2024^©. Apparently not. He starts a fuss over stupid shit he threatens to do: Panama, Greenland, Canada, death penalty; knowing full well that the Lamestream Press will take the bait. "He's such an ass!!" And so forth. While the Lamestream Press is all up in high dudgeon over this stupid shit, soonToBePresident Huey Long 2024^© gets the lap dog Congress to do what The Musk Ox (and the rest of his Billionaire Boys Club buddies) want: a trillion or so dollars off their tax bills. Not paid for of course. As if making the obscenely rich even richer will propel GDP growth.
