No Jab, No Job?! I Quit! – The Stand-Off Between Labor and Big-Pharma Fascism

No Jab, No Job?! I Quit! – The Stand-Off Between Labor and Big-Pharma Fascism

It seems the unspoken adverse effect of the Spring 2020 covid lock downs has now materialized into the obnoxious elephant running rampant smack dab in the middle of American labor’s living room. Pharmaceutical Fascism. Some of you saw it long before the lockdowns, others are finally beginning to notice… the slow, steady creep of Vaccination Habituation, Big-Pharma’s Holy Grail, now being attempted by Biden’s covid vaccine mandate. Of course, once again, the corporate and indi media’s six figure labor pundits…

Corporate Communism and the Coronavirus Cottage Industry

Corporate Communism and the Coronavirus Cottage Industry

It’s not hard to imagine these days… a communist authoritarian state, the unspoken envy of the multi-national corporate state, with global conquest ambitions developing a highly effective secret weapon, an electrical field/shield with the super power ability to deflect any and all incoming missiles from hostile enemy states enabling it to forcefully pursue it’s (belt road) global conquests, quickly winning a world war three and then, in order to maintain iron fist control of the world population, massively releasing a…

Perception Management, The Nocebo Effect and the Coronavirus Fear Campaign

Perception Management, The Nocebo Effect and the Coronavirus Fear Campaign

Not so long ago in the Land of Modern Economics it was assumed that we humans were rational, critically thinking beings; masters of our own perceptions that would always make rational decisions. Funny what fear, uncertainty and panic can do to those now obsolete economic behavioral assumptions. Whether based on empirical evidence or long held, but false beliefs, perception is everything… All I wanted was some bananas. It was the Saturday morning of the mid March weekend that the “shelter…

Selective Science, Cognitive Dissonance and the Covid “Disruptive Disease”

Selective Science, Cognitive Dissonance and the Covid “Disruptive Disease”

Just like a “disruptive disease” can be exploited to wreck controlled chaos on a society, soon, the tide turns and the cognitive dissonance awakened by an arbitrary double standard of “selective science” comes to pay it’s respects… Can’t say I wasn’t expecting it, can say I was certainly looking forward to it… the last LA County swap meet to close was also the first swap meet to reopen since the lockdown/shelter in place began last March! Yes!! One small step…

Today’s Lesson – How the DeRegulated Free Market just Freeze Fkd Texas!

Today’s Lesson – How the DeRegulated Free Market just Freeze Fkd Texas!

But first, a word from Ronnie… Ah, yes, the seldom discussed flip side of Mr. Reagan’s infamous “from the government” quote returns to bite near frozen texans right in their ongoing, deregulated ERCOT energy experiment. I would ordinarily expect some light bulbs to finally be going off concerning the exploitive tendencies of privately run utilities, but with the the lengthy power outages, I may have to make an exception. And from my research down this latest Texas (& US) energy…

The Covid Silver Lining that kicked “Stop the Steal” in the Ass?!

The Covid Silver Lining that kicked “Stop the Steal” in the Ass?!

How’s this for an epiphany… The Universe Conspires to Dump Trump! Could it be that the disruptive, “deadly disease”, stopped another four years of Trump/Miller/Murdoch/Mercer hate and social/political divisiveness in it’s friggin tracks? Heh heh heh… Allow me to explain… As I was watching the “Stop The Steal”/ Senate Confirmation protest live for a full three hours last week, with the TV cameras constantly alternating from the rioters/protesters crowded on the Capitol steps to the plain vanilla protesters milling around…

President Trump > Citizen Trump > Fugitive Trump?! The Noose Tightens.

President Trump > Citizen Trump > Fugitive Trump?! The Noose Tightens.

A couple of months ago I had one of those “Ah Ha!” thoughts that feels like a long awaited puzzle piece dropping out of the political sky and falling right into plain sight. Even more so as of this 1/5/21 update. The setting… President Trump’s increasing adamance that the majority of voters love him so much that the only way he can lose this election is by Biden/democrat voter fraud… ironically, as the Republicans do everything they can to disenfranchise…

Lives or Livelihoods… The Unfolding Corona Conundrum

Lives or Livelihoods… The Unfolding Corona Conundrum

Sometimes I hate being the Devil’s Advocate… heh heh heh. Concerning the Corona Virus… what’s more important, lives or livelihoods? That seems to depend on who you ask. As the corona smoke slowly begins to settle, as the US covid death count passes 200,000 and begins to slow down and taper off, as the data on the number of permanently closed, family owned and operated Main Street and corporate businesses trickles in and what that reality means to our families…

Debt Forgiveness or Quantitative Easing? Making America Work Again!

Debt Forgiveness or Quantitative Easing? Making America Work Again!

Well, here we are… finally having to confront the next economic phase of this slow moving Corona Chaos entitled “Life After Magic Money Quantitive Easing – Brutal Austerity or Universal Debt Forgiveness?”. Did you enjoy the $600 per week unemployment/self-employment assistance? I know I did, even though I seem to have fallen through EDD/PUA recertification cracks at the beginning of May. And all my fellow vintage vendors, ie, my fellow canaries at the bottom of the discretionary spending economic coal…

Pushing Back on the War On Cash

Pushing Back on the War On Cash

I’ll admit, I’m often fond of impatiently shouting out from the back of a slow moving line to a store cashier who is patiently trying to help a customer with a problem credit card… “hey, do you still take cash?” Heh heh heh. Head’s turn. The person holding up the line gets embarrassed. Yes, sometimes ya gotta be the smart ass to make the point. And despite PayPal’s CEO, Dan Schulman insisting, “the real war is the war on cash”,…
