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.

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

Comments 5 comments

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!

Comments 5 comments

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

Comments 4 comments

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”,…

A Question of Flea (Free?) Market Values

A Question of Flea (Free?) Market Values

Comments 4 comments

It seems that in Flea Market Land, everyone’s buying criteria and willingness to exploit, or not exploit, is different. Over twenty years ago as I was out and about on a Saturday morning cruising yard sales for vintage vinyl, a yard sale seller asked me if I’d heard a recent radio broadcast of a rock station DJ interviewing a big time, east coast record dealer about his best vinyl score. That sounded interesting, “Do tell!” Apparently, the big shot was…

To Make America Great Again, FUND IT!!

We can’t make America great again until we Make America FAIR Again. And we can’t make America Fair for All, let alone restore it to greatness, unless we INVEST in it! Unless we FUND it! Why do I have to do all the friggin thinkin ‘round here??!!  (And then along comes the Corona Economic Shock Treatment. Well, perhaps this is an opportunity for this latest strain of Quantative Easing to prove itself. Perhaps it’s the last chance. As I was…
