Greetings shut-in, every once in a while you encounter programming that isn't utter rubbish and last night's broadcast of HBO's Real Time was, perhaps unintentionally, a true eye-opener.
Is it me or did eliminating the 'round table' format improve the show's focus? Bill's first guest happened to be the billionaire wife who serves as the Nation's Speaker of the House, third in line for the presidential succession.
Bill asked the question that was on everyone's mind...how the hell can the land of the unemployed afford the nearly three trillion-dollar price tag of the bailout of Capitalism?
We were treated to ten solid minutes of psycho-babble...round and round she went about how keeping the first responders on the job was vital to nation's security regardless of the cost [in any direction as it turns out.]
Naturally, the (fake) sides of the political debate will point to partisanship and name-calling but boil away the bullshit and what I have been saying for over thirty years screams at you. The only thing 'leadership' is interested in is keeping YOU so desperate that you don't dare do anything about the mismanagement of a society that exists to serve a tiny minority.
Under a Just system, there would be no (insanely) wealthy nor would there be the desperately impoverished.
Again, somehow Just has been turned into 'fairness' and dismissed with a 'life isn't fair'.
Nobody cares if life is unfair but it had best damn well be Just!
For the dim allow me to clarify, what I've been saying all along [over thirty years now] is ALL MONEY IS FUNNY!
VALUE is a chimera, a phantom you have chased obsessively but can never (legally) catch.
The rich are rich because they are liars and cheats. The impoverished planet is the end result of their villainy.
You'd think this post would make that episode of Real-Time an instant most viewed episode but a word of caution, it is PAINFUL to watch. Starting with the fact that this woman represents the people in charge of deceiving the rest of us into thinking they have this clusterfuck under control.
Once again we encounter, Who are these people and what do they have 'in common' with the rest of us?
Short answer: Criminals and Nothing.
Capitalism made big promises that it could NEVER live up to and now those lies have come home to roost.
Usually when the 'mark' discovers they are being cheated the hustle vanishes and people 'get on' with their lives. The problem is this hustle is so ingrained into our way of life that we no longer know what matters.
Bill's second guest was an epidemiologist who echoed my observations that the lockdown was simply delaying the inevitable, all 'flatten the curve' succeeds in doing is postponing when some people die.
He cited a NY Times op-ed he wrote last month last time but I only have the headlines only edition to work with, I don't get to read any of the articles because I can't afford to subscribe [I can't afford a lot of things but I'm in good company there, am I not?]
So my explaining to my readers about plague dynamics is, on my part, an exercise in logic. Gegner is not a doctor but Gegner is also not a dummy. 1 + 1 = 2, always.
Complexity is the refuge of a scoundrel, especially when logic doesn't defend the outcome they desire.
Bill's final guest was Jay Leno and they basically 'talked shop' until it was time to wrap up the episode.
Besides putting the clueless and stunningly MYOPIC leadership of the faux political process on display [Did Nancy fall on her political sword so they could re-install their most useful stooge to date, Pussygrabber the Flag Humper?] the fact that she is both incompetent and a tool screamed to anyone watching.
She certainly didn't do the empty suit, Joe Biden any favors.
Logic is your friend and humanity's last hope.
The life you save will most definitely be your own. Stop the criminals and enact A.S.P. NOW!
