The Burning Platform

Many of the problems we encounter today have been addressed by our predecessors.  History frequently provides answers but our ruling class has a vested interest in continuing the error ridden policies that are abhorrent to normal people.  Here is a small idea to alleviate three problem areas we face today.

In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries Great Britain was being overrun with a new criminal class that was migrating into the cities.  Famines were sweeping the land and the city offered hope for unneeded farm laborers.  Theft was the only way for these people to support themselves. The laws were rather barbaric to our eyes including hanging for theft.  Prisons were full and derelict ships were used to house the leftovers.

As you may have heard once (or a hundred times), Fox parted ways with him this morning. But shed no tears for Tucker; his next act is likely to be YUUUGE – and very lucrative.

I wouldn’t exactly call Tucker Carlson a friend.

As you have probably already heard, this morning Tucker abruptly left his position as the most powerful anchor at Fox News, or anywhere on television.

I’ve never had a beer or a coffee off-set with Tucker. We have very similar views on some issues, like the dangers of cannabis and mRNA jabs, but very different on others like Ukraine.

And I only got to know him when he was already hugely successful. Adults have a hard time becoming close under those circumstances. I’ve never wanted to be the guy asking Tucker (or Elon) for favors – aside from the favor of his having me on when I had something interesting to say.

In 1929, Ford sold 1,507,132 cars. Chevrolet sold 1,328,605. Then came the stock market crash. Sales dropped dramatically each year until 1932, when sales bottomed at 210,824 for Ford and 313,404 for Chevrolet.

But, during that time, a small new market came on stream for the two foremost budget brands—the rich.

Although literally millions of people were hit very hard by the crash, those who had invested wisely retained their wealth. Those who steered clear of the stock market bubble and/or invested in assets that would survive the crash, such as precious metals, were able to continue to live well.

However, they did find that when they drove down the street in their luxury cars, they stood out and became the objects of anger and scorn.

“Look, I just fix stuff, okay? This whole empathy thing it’s, uh, not exactly my strong point, all right?” – Andromeda

The Mrs. says I have no empathy.  I have no idea why she would feel that way.

I was in a pretty deep sleep, having another stupid dream.  My definition of a stupid dream is something like, “being at work, and writing an email”.  If I’m going to dream, I don’t want to waste it on work, I want to be out conquering the green-skinned warrior women from Alpha Centauri, not dreaming about doing my taxes.

Occasionally, though, I have a fully formed thought so perfect that it jars me out of a deep sleep, and I have to write it down, like that time I invented the goldfish treadmill, or the silent alarm clock that slapped The Mrs. in the face with a comically large clown glove so her alarm wouldn’t wake me up.
