Nah, ah ain’t talkin bout doin sum laundry (tho come to thunk bout it, ah probly do need to do sum), ah’m talkin bout participatin in the “largest sooper-dooper compooter in the wurld!”
Are TEN Flags Nuff?
Ah knows it dun bin a few days since my last article, but y’know, sumtimes life is that way. Anyhoo, ah was watchin the TeeVee earlier today an saw sumthin that made me go, “Hmm, that can’t be right…”
B2B, Pt 1: Whut’s a “Barter System”?
Ah thunk ah shud git started splainin our economic system, but frum the very beginnin. Folk frum ancient times bought an sold thangs in a differnt way than we’all do today. They used a “barter system” to buy an sell thangs!
WTF? Are They CRAZY?
Now ah know that Pres Trump seems to like to hire folk like himself. You know, people who ain’t the sharpest knife in the drawer. But this has got to be the STOOPIDEST thang ah have ever hurd someone say in an lection year!
Ah’m Startin a “Back to Basics” (B2B) Series fur to Splain Some Thangs
Ah’m doin this har “B2B” series so y’all’ll know what ah’m thunkin when ah say sumthin that y’all dun thunk ah don’t make no sense!
The US Constitution an the “Honor System”…
Ah guess the long an short of mah point is that the US Constitution is a pretty darned gud piece of paper on which to base our country’s guvmint on. While the Foundin Fathers tried to account for, an limit, the evil some folk might try to do to take over the country, they’re honorable men (wit many flaws) who figured our country wud be run by lected, but honorable folk.
The US vs the EU (COVID-19 Edition)!
Now, of course, since all them COVID-19 death counts aren’t goin directly to the CDC anymore, but are bein filtered through Pres Trump’s Health and Human Services (HHS) director, ah’m kinda figurin that them numbers is bein, uh, “adjusted” before the CDC sees em. So, ah figure them numbers are on the low side since, as Pres Trump has admitted in public, he likes to “downplay” the numbers. In other wurds, he makes em lower than they really are.
“It’ll go away with the heat!”
Now y’all might be wonder, “what’s the point, Captn Obvious?” Well, COVID-19 (the Coronavirus), spreads REALLY FAST IN HUMANS. Humans have an average body temperature of 98.6 degrees F!!!
COVID-19 an Kids Goin Back into Schools…
So, the Trump administration wanted the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) the best disease control an prevention organization in these har United States (if not the entire world) to downplay the risk of COVID-19 on our kids (an the related risk to their family, friends, an, frankly, everone)? Ah guess that the Trump administration dun thunk that appearance beats reality.
