Insurance companies are out to make money, just like Casinos. To quote from war games “The only way to win is - - Not To Play”. This is also true with insurance companies. Much as you think you need health insurance, for instance, you would fare BETTER financially your whole life if you, for instance, just set aside a medical fund you put money into for for emergencies you could draw on in times of need. This would hypothetically be also true for major disasters to your home like a flood or a hurricane. If you don’t believe me- Sixty Minutes had a thing on Hurricane Sandy and the massive fraud involved with payments where people with homes formerly worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, got paid eighty thousand dollars and were pressured to sign something saying you’d settle for eighty thousand. However legally if you sign something on known fraud or withholding of relevant facts, the signature is null and void. This is what happened with Sixty Minutes. The trained engineers examined these homes and marked out all of the extensive damage and the high estimates. But then the insurance companies Changed these extensive and thorough reports- - and made them say what they weren’t saying. And when these trained investigators- - saw the changes that had been made- - they were furious. And the thing is that FEMA actually PAYS the insurance companies back for these disasters. So it wasn’t even any skin of their own noses or financial accounts. Rather it was just insurance companies being jerks as they always are. They had a thing on lumber liquidators with these laminated floors with formaldehyde in the glue that is from thirteen to twenty times the legal limit of the state of California. And congress in 2010 when the democrats still reigned supreme- - passed a law adopting the California standard. So as of this year now there are official massive violations by Lumber Liquidators nationwide. And of course Sixty Minutes went to these floor factories in China to see for themselves, and the head guy said that the safety notice on the packages was a lie- - and that this stuff was not “safe” and didn’t comply with either the California or national law. OK now you know. That third comedian guy just wants to fuck with all our minds and I have absolutely no idea where his head is at.
A lot of businesses think they must boost their opperating profit by "lowering production costs", even if it means using illegal suppliers. This was the case of Lumber Liquidators. Of course everything puts Greed first these days. So locating off shore "lowers production costs" with slave wages in Shri Lanka and Viet Nam. But also these right wingers believe that low wages are "good" for the overall economy because they "kick off the restraints" and "unleash the power of business". Someone predicted that businesses would be closing down in Seattle if they boosted their minimum wages to fifteen dollars an hour. But strangely this did not happen. In fact even more new jobs opened up. The democratic governor of Minnesota increased the minimum wages and enacted rules saying women get equal pay for equal work. Now Minnesota has the fifth most vibrant economy in the country. You have an almost unbroken record of failure doing it the republican's way by cutting taxes on the rich. It failed under Johnson with exploding deficets. It did the same thing under President Reagan when he tried it, and it did the same with President Bush when he slashed a whole host of taxes. Each time we were assured wonderful things would happen. Of course the Bush people assured us that wonderful things would happen if we toppled the Saddam Hussein government. It was supposed to "free up the markets" and give us some kind of a libertarian paradise. That did not happen. But when it comes to economics (and a lot of other things) the Republicans can't be honest even one time.

I watched “This Week” and then switched to “Meet the Press” and switched back and forth. There was a lot of stuff with John Kerry discussing ISIS. They both talked about the C-Pac convention, which Rand Paul won the straw poll on. Of course Netenyahoo speaks before congress on Tuesday which will be here before you know it. That guy Putin had gunned down steps from the Kremlin- - will be remembered in a demonstration tomorrow. The shooter, who fired several times in the back, made his getaway in a white car. They have replayed his post-mortum interview on TV saying he feared being killed. Many Americans say Russia is now our “greatest enemy”. ISIS people are smashing ancient relics in Syria, and sold some artifacts on the black market to raise money for their terrorism. I meant to comment on this in yesterday’s blog posting but forgot. Rain so far hasn’t materialized. I received “The Week” magazine this week at the table. I don’t think I ever received last week’s magazine issue. Some have argued that Netenyahoo WANTS Israel to get into a shooting war with Iran so that Iran (and Syria) will hate the United States as much as they hate Israel. Right now we have the solice that the Iranian people do not hate the United States citizens, only certain aspects of the government. Netenyahoo wants to blow all that up under the presumed argument (logic) of “misery loves company”. No thank you. Some bloggers would say that despite the agreement we have with Iran now, our own government is “plotting” to blow up the treaty anyhow. I read the thing and am not convinced. We need to see this deal through Iran and see where it leads.
Rand Paul was top of the pool in C-Pac. I looked at that for the dialogue between Sean Hannity and Jeb Bush. Hannity “tinkled all over” Bush, so maybe there is “trickle down” after all. He reconciled immigration and common core education. Bush doesn’t want common core to go national. He bragged about how many legislative bills he’s blue-lined with a Veto. So if you saw what I saw, Jeb Bush came out looking pretty good. I know that Rush Limbaugh was passionate in defense of Bush in 2000 and attacked Pat Buchannon mercilessly. One wonders why? Sean Hannity didn't have to go to the mat for Bush the way he did but he felt as though he needed to. As though it were important to breathe life into the campaign of Jeb Bush even though he only ended up getting eight percent in the straw poll. Of course with Pat Buchannon - - he used to idolize Adolph Hitler and the Nazi party. Now he's turned his affections to Vladimir Putin. Just as long as it's some corrupt despot to dote on. I heard somewhere, perhaps from Pat, that the immigration rate in the United States between 1930 and 1960 was pretty close to zero, and Pat reminds us "we need time for the races to assimilate". We need time to absorb the culture shock of all these outsiders. It's kind of like an Evangelical Christian gathering. You want outsiders there but not too many of them because there has to be a "critical mass" a point beyond which "You will be unable to pressure all of these outiders to conform to peer pressure". Of course Pat Buchannon expressly stated he believed the "Testamony of the Grand Jury" in the Ferguson case. It's those ten or twelve imaginary Black witnesses that back up Officer Wilson's story. I've never seen them, heard them, or even heard their names, but according to people like Hannity and Buchannon, they exist. We had Swiss steak for dinner with fluffy rice, tomato based sauce, and whole banana squash. We had vanilla pudding for desert. Owen never made it to the table.
I think you can say Balzac on the air- - that’s the composer or whoever. But I’m not sure if you can say “ball sack” on the air but Stephanie just did. And speaking of gravity - - some “voice” (Lennard Nemoy?) suggested I “simplify” my explanation of what was happening. So let me correct that. You might want to have that paragraph out and look at it and take notes. Because you see- - it’s all not just about circles. The gravity “field” turns into an ellipse- - when you accelerate with respect to another object. When it comes to certain LIGHT properties- - - what you see is indeed in the eye of the bee holder, or is that beholder? You must always keep this in your mind because your own gravity field with respect to Yourself- - is always round. Capish? So what does it mean when the “line” or border of the ellipse is close to the “center point” of gravity? This means that the gravity field is week, ie doesn’t extend out very far. If that “line” is way far away, like the end of an elipse- - then the gravity field is very strong. I’m saying this because it’s easy to fall into a mental trap or an “image trap” of thinking of planetary orbits where the portion of the ellipse is under a greater gravity field close to the “center”. Do NOT fall into this mental trap! To be honest we erred slightly on that previous posting because the circle represents the “event horizon”. So you might want to mentally scratch out “field” from your mind and put in “event horizon”. Not to complicate things even more but “what you see” optically- - is with the “coarse” medium of light. Commander Data spoke of having “poitronic circuits”. The problem is that the positron exists only in the laboratory for a few seconds. It does not exist in nature. A proton consists of two “up” quarks and one “down” quark, if I’m not mistaken. But that would mean that a “Negatron” or three quarks of one UP and two DOWN quarks, each at one third atomic mass - and said negatron (with positrons orbiting it) would make up anti-matter, which the Star Trek people love to talk about at length. The problem with science fiction is that they can refer to things as common place that do not exist? So CAN God produce “anti matter”? The answer may be “Yes, but he’s not stupid enough to do it”. But remember we said light was a “coarse” medium, expecially with subatomic particles. So you can “see” a lot of stuff optically that “just isn’t so” such as mirrored matter, or matter that appears to move backwards, ect” People talk about apparent mass increase (to infinity no less) at the speed of light. But when you are traveling at the speed of light- - the gravity field, just like with optics, turns into a parabola. You asked “In English, what does that mean?” It means that the gravity “field” goes on forever to infinity in a certain direction. And from there it turns into a hyperbola. You ask “OK what does THAT mean?” It means - - for objects getting farther away from you - - - there is no “far side” continuity. And this “breech” of the line- - is what causes gravity reversal and not CROSSING the line as we previously said. Remember this- - the “field line” is the Event Horizon. You just Don’t and Can’t cross this line. This whole translucent bubble metaphor- - works fine for Optics but not to describe a gravitational field. For us to imply that you could in that previous posting was in ERROR. Any time you hear me say "far side" of an elipse or parabola- - it means things you are running away FROM. Since there IS no "far side" of a hyperbola - (we are referring to a line that goes on forever in both directions with a sharp turn or bend in it in the middle) - - it means all those "arrows going in tword said object" aren't there. Therefore the ONLY G forces are going the other way. So gravity still reverses, but by a different graphic illustration than we previously gave. In English that means if you are CHASING an object and the object is MORE than the speed of light ahead of you - - there is a “repel” field with respect to that object. Einstein once said “If you are smart enough- - even the most complicated things can be explained in simple terms”. Unfortunately I’m not that smart. So I find it necessary to resort to all of this verbiage to adequately explain this all to you.
