November 3rd, the choice is simple:

1. If you believe in lockdowns,

   vote for Hidin' Biden.

2. If you believe in Ponzi schemes,

The poor are getting poorer because
the Internet increases globalization.

So far, the response has been:

  1. Flood the RealEstate/Stock/Bond markets
     with a tsunami of freshly printed money.
     -- A classic Ponzi scheme. 

  2. Stimulus Payments. 
     -- Yet Another Ponzi scheme. 

  3. " Urban Camping ", Hoovervilles.

Thermodynamics scares 
the living shit out of you.

So you ignore it.

Most people are like that, 
you're not alone.

Again:

  In physics, entropy is how evenly
  heat/matter are distributed.

  Our  hot/dense  sun evaporates 
  into the  cold/sparse  vacuum,
  losing 4.3 million tons each second.

  The earliest black holes are 
  the largest and most powerful.

  12.5 billion years ago, 
  quasar J2157-3602 had the luminosity
  of 695 trillion suns ( 2.66×10^41 Watts ).

  695 trillion suns.

You could easily learn this (above),
if you wanted to, but you don't.

General Relativity is for high-tech, 
high-precision rocket scientists,
not screenwriters.

Most people have no use for it;
and they've no clue about it.

You've no use for general relativity, 
and you feel no need|desire to learn it;
we all get that, it's obvious.

But you're not designing high-precision
clocks, like Einstein, 1905, 
in Switzerland.

No one would hire you for that.

      Odd Absurdities.

Everyone adopts various premises,
depending on who they are,
and how it might benefit them.

For most people here, adopting
the axioms of general relativity
simply isn't beneficial.

It's _far_ more fruitful for them
to believe in odd absurdities;
so that's precisely what they do.

Again:

  " (Pseudo)Randomness is Ignorance. "
  is the _only_ reasonable assumption.

  Obviously, the moon is still there,

  Everything from a photon to

  "God" (nature) programmed us to 
  consume residual "eXergy" ( energy that 
  can do "work", force * distance ) 
  as the cosmos goes from infinitely
  hot/dense to infinitely cold/sparse.

  "Randomness" is ignorance, not entropy;
  i.e. the future is just as fixed as the past;
  i.e. "God" (nature) is static, forever 
  and always ( as Einstein preached ).

  Life is, at once, everything yet nothing.

Democratdense-Run cities, like San Francisco,

Raising wages, and cutting hours,
doesn't work unless you're willing 
to erect massive trade barriers,
so poor nations can't compete.

You'd raise tariffs,
instead of competing on a level field ?

....instead of sharing our wealth
with poorer countries ?

If so, we're going to need a bigger wall.

Government plans to "improve" healthcare,
by making it more like the DMV,
would be the icing on this Detroit cake.

Why did you scare-quote

I'm well-aware of where/how you live;
your house, and vehicles.

Is there something you haven't told me ?!
              
Does " virtue signaling ", like 
Bill Gates, Hugh Huntzinger, Joe Biden

  you can live off loans;
  no need to work, no need to provide electricity.

  If your credit is bad, good news. . .
  you can violently, destructively steal with impunity.
  Beat up cops, laser their eyes, with the city's blessing.

Meanwhile, Scott Doty doesn't care,

The politicization of the virus
is about getting paid more for doing less,
-- the primary theme of all Democrats.

For example, they would run hospitals
like the post office and the DMV.

Again:

  Mom-n-Pop businesses/rentals are boarded up,
  ready to be burned down, Detroit style.

  Welcome to the United States of Detroit.
  Pro(Re)gressive cities have defaulted.

Black holes get progressively
smaller/weaker as time goes by;
it's basic thermodynamics.

In physics, entropy is how evenly
heat/matter are distributed.

Our  hot/dense  sun evaporates 
into the  cold/sparse  vacuum,
losing 4.3 million tons each second.

The earliest black holes are 
the largest and most powerful.

12.5 billion years ago, 
quasar J2157-3602 had the luminosity
of 695 trillion suns ( 2.66×10^41 Watts ).

695 trillion suns.

Ayaz Siddiqi asked:

A refrigerator has programming.
An acorn has programming.
A car has programming.

Everything from a photon to 
a black hole has programming.

"God" (nature) programmed us to 
consume residual "eXergy" ( energy that 
can do "work", force * distance ) 
as the cosmos goes from infinitely
hot/dense to infinitely cold/sparse.

"Randomness" is ignorance, not entropy;
i.e. the future is just as fixed as the past;
i.e. "God" (nature) is static, forever 
and always ( as Einstein preached ).

Life is, at once, everything yet nothing.

      The 20 $ henchman.

This morning, random text messages
informed me that there was a price on my head.

I wasn't told why, but I assume it's because 
Albert L. Esposito ( room 5 ) "needs" 
to move to a nicer place, but can't,
because he's 1.5 months behind in rent.

Being stuck here is threatening his life,
he reasons, due to his delicate medical
condition ( foot surgeries, diabetes ).

He glued-shut Mewded Equbay's ( room 2 ) door,
including the keyhole, same as mine;
so there's a pattern.

I replied ( to my attacker, via text ):

  How much are you paying him, 20 $ ?!

  If money is the issue,
  many charities are ready-n-willing to help.

  Let me know if you need other help.

My plan is to reason with the 20 $ henchman,
if he approaches me, and offer him 40 $.

      If Biden wins, stagflation is next.

Lockdowns are a stealth strike,
and Trump is playing the role of 
union-busting Reagan, 1981.

Biden wants lockdowns because
he represents the defaulting
government employees, 
with the fat pensions,
" calling in sick ".

In this war, monopolies are winning,
big time, at the expense of 
smaller, local vendors/landlords.

If Biden wins, stagflation is next;
the stock market will drop like a rock.

Follow the money.

Covid-19 is a fraudulent excuse 
for anyone-n-everyone to default,
to call-in sick.

Our (sad) "choices":

  1. Social Security benefits rise with
     the pace of actual, true inflation.
     e.g. Stimulus Payments. 
     Future generations pay for it. 

  2. Urban rents drop dramatically.
     e.g. Eviction Moratoriums.
     Destroys/Degrades neighborhoods.

  3. More tents get pitched on the sidewalk.
     " Urban Camping ", Hoovervilles.
     " Grapes of Wrath " migrations.
     Kills/Degrades/Scares people.

in swing states, like Florida,
who respect Trump's honesty.

Florida loves Trump;
hence, he'll be re-elected.

Fearing retribution,
"Shy Voters", especially women, 
lie to "bullies" ( pollsters ).

In this world, where everyone is
lying their ass off (defaulting),
Trump is a breath of fresh air.

China doesn't have food stamps,
much less disability payments;
it's run like Cosa Nostra, the mob.

Corruption is essential/embedded;
if you denounce Chairman Xi,
you'll be convicted.

Still, it gained ground
via its superior culture, 
hard work, and capitalism.

In Japan, capitalism is dying;
the government owns 80 %
of the stock "market".

America and Europe would be 
lucky to achieve Japan's 
( greatly diminished ) status.

Globally, lies dominate.

Covid-19 is a fraudulent excuse

The lockdown is a fraudulent excuse 
to favor soaring asset prices (handouts),
over profits, honesty, and management.

What are you going to do, Hugh Huntzinger,
when the pendulum swings the other way,
and profits, hard work, honesty and 
management suddenly matter again ?!

Again:

  Like no-fault divorce,
  no-fault eviction is a basic human right.

  When the (infirm) state defaults,
  forcing enemies to reside together,
  things get real ugly, real fast.

  Lives are lost.

Today, I told him:
//  Covid has been good to Trump.

"Gibberish" ?!

I don't get it.

Again:

  Unlike Trump, DemoRats are ScaredyCats.

  Biden cowered in the corner, dodging questions,

  Still, mindless TV pundits say Biden won.

  DemoRats are all about collecting huge paychecks

  they must keep Americans as scared as possible.

  The only reason DemoRats ever win

Covid has been good to him.

Last few days,
Trump has been feeling better 
than he has for 20 years.

He climbed that long/high stairway, 
no problem.

Unlike Trump, DemoRats are ScaredyCats.

The only reason DemoRats ever win
is because most Americans depend
on those fat government checks.

Rich people, like Bill Gates and 
Jeff Bezos, are absolutely clueless
about the effects they have on
poor people, like me, when they seek 
praise for their virtual signaling,
releasing prisoners and stopping evictions,
sending the dregs of the world down upon me,
so I bear the burden, while they're off 
enjoying their mansions and security guards.

I store my urine-n-feces in a 
" Vittles Vault " container
that I bought at PetCo.

It seals - tight -; no smell.

I put deodorant under my arms 
and crotch; so no one notices 
if I've showered or not.

Once full, I empty the Vittles 
Vault into a contractor bag,
and place it in the dumpster.

I defecate into a soup ladle,
and piss into a measuring cup, 
then dump it in the Vittles 
Vault -- paper towel cleanup.

for decades; no one's been able 
to bring a lawsuit against them.

The intent is to stop homelessness;
the result is:

  – Massive property destruction. and

DemoRat cities have defaulted;
they just collect taxes and do nothing.

      Criminals rejoice !

If you're a scofflaw, 
times have never been better.

People have done the math and 
decided to not pay rent.

Seattle's virtue signalers, 
living -fat- off the system,
extended the eviction moratorium
to the middle of 2021.

And banks don't care because
real estate keeps doubling in price.

Dividends and rent don't matter,
so long as stock and real estate prices
keep soaring into the stratosphere.

Seattle is broke and dysfunctional;
the police are defunded; 
I can't get police reports.

Violent Criminals are rejoicing, big time !

Schools let students ambush cops and 
burn down the city;
yet they steal students' tuition money if, 
God forbid, they go to church.

Washington's "Employment Security Department"
paid out benefits to its own employees, 
as if they were unemployed.

The money ( ~600 million $ ) went to 
places like Nigeria, of course.

And, as the "Wirecard" fraud shows,
it's not just people with bad credit
who are scamming the system.

Everyone is doing it.

Nikola -and- Tesla.

The Fed cannot raise the CPI.

If banks won't lend,
the Fed's hands are tied.

      De-gentrification.

I live on frat row, immediately north of 
the University of Washington, Seattle.

2006, the frats were concert-level loud;
massive parties, drunk 18-year-old girls
everywhere, in bikinis. 

Early 2019, the Orthodox Jewish frat
to my South fled; it's still empty. 

The University shut down 
the frat to my North.

Now, the building is partially occupied
by a third fraternity; it's mostly empty.

They can't party-hardy anymore;
the University would kick them out,
in the name of Covid-19.

Meanwhile, the poor people living in my 
rooming house are partying like never before
because the cops won't/can't touch them.

The roles have been reversed;
the rich kids are quiet,
and the poor kids are noisy.

De-Gentrification has begun.

traveling, and growing older.

Your lifespan is limited by 
how much oxygen you consume.

Squirrels consume more oxygen

pirate it ( qBitTorrent, ThePirateBay.ORG ).

I have an Intel iGPU too ( i7-8700 );

I like the people here.

I've programmed UNIX-like systems;
Macs too.

> Do you use pirated software

While I have a legal copy of Windows 10,
Home Edition ( 143 $, after-tax, from Amazon ), 
I didn't bother to inform Microsoft
when I switched to all new hardware.

I could have, I just didn't bother;
instead, I used "KMSAuto Net" to activate it.

> Millions of Windows' users have trouble retrieving

I wrote it down, it's on my thumb drive backup.

Amazon would have a record of the purchase
( Microsoft Windows 8, free upgrade to Win10 );
but I bought it 8 years ago, 
before I had an Amazon account.

Perhaps so, I wouldn't know.

"Winaero Tweaker" has "Disable Updates"
options ( it works well, Windows 10 ).

Major Updates can be downloaded 
from "Microsoft.COM" and installed 
like a Windows re-install.

You should've disabled the iGPU (Intel)

The discrete GPU (nVidia) 
is the better choice.

People like that are walking around
"my" house, fearlessly.

Seattle mostly emptied out it's jails,
and it feels like they're all here, now.

Drugs have been decriminalized, here.

Police don't care if you have drugs or not.

Drunk tweakers beat young women ( and others )
repeatedly; so long was they're in their room,
police can't get to them.

I'll spare you the (many) details.

  Like no-fault divorce, no-fault eviction 
  -would- be a basic human right,
  if governments worked properly.

Quoting ( Seattle Attorney ) Ryan Weatherstone:
//  a resident was caught on security 
//  camera beating an 80-year-old woman.    
//  
//  Due to the Just Cause ordinance, the

I've never had a memorable BSOD.

With certain BIOS settings,
I could get a stupid BSOD.

BSOD is a driver problem;
I don't have driver problems.

30 years ago, I could consume all the memory,
in a runaway memory allocation process,
and the system would need rebooting.

No BSOD.

For me, 16 gigs of RAM is the minimum.

      Covid-19 is a stupid excuse.

Re: No 2nd Covid Wave in Sweden

The countries/states without lockdowns
enjoy the fewest deaths per capita.

Even in poorly-run Democrat regions,
one is twice as likely to die in 
a car accident, especially the young.

Covid-19 is a stupid excuse 
government dependents (Democrats)
use to avoid work and not pay 
mortgages/PropetyTaxes/rent.

Nope.

Like no-fault divorce, no-fault eviction 
-would- be a basic human right,
if governments worked properly.

Quoting ( Seattle Attorney ) Ryan Weatherstone:
//  a resident was caught on security 
//  camera beating an 80-year-old woman.    
//  
//  Due to the Just Cause ordinance, the 
//  apartment manager could not simply 
//  give him a 20-day notice to vacate.

//  
//  This would have resulted in the victim

I was evicting people last year,
but various eviction moratoriums
put a stop to that.

I manage 31 doors, low income.
Your story might be different.

Easy evictions might be possible in Arkansas
Texas, or across the lake, in Bellevue...
....but not in Seattle proper.

How ?

Seattle forces thieving junkies on us.

Charities pay for the move-in and costs;
otherwise, tenants don't pay, 
and we can't evict anyone.

Covid-19 emptied out the jails;
so they're all here now, with me.

We're not allowed to consider 
criminal histories.

Covid-19 is the excuse Seattle 
is using to not do its job.

The whole fucking world has defaulted.

Re: RonB spent 5 grand on his wife's laptop ?!

  https://www.amazon.com/XPS-17-9700-Anti-Reflex-Best/dp/B08BTW12KR

I've been robbed a couple of times, recently;
crime is sky-rocketing around here, Seattle.

They took my tablet, my camera, my cell phone,
my checks ( checking account fraud ),
-many- cartons of cigarettes, my pocketknives,
my Skil saw, some tools, and some food.

Packs of my cigarettes are 
being sold around the house, 
and my checks are everywhere.

I can't leave my room for a minute
without locking it.

Bricks are being tossed through my windows.

What they never took was my 3 thousand $ 
desktop PC ( nor its devices ).

Imagine if I have had a 5 thousand $ laptop
instead... I'd be screaming mad, sobbing sad.

      Government Dependents, Democrats.

For many people, Covid-19 is 
an excuse to avoid work and
not pay mortgages/PropetyTaxes.

This is especially true for
government dependents, Democrats.

The high crime rate doesn't affect them,
apparently, because they're paid well;
so they reject the call for law-n-order.

Come September 2021, next year,
the world will still be in a recession,
and stock markets will have dropped 40%.

The 7 trillion $ the Feds pumped into
the banking system is just sitting there, 
doing nothing.

Banks won't lend to people who 
aren't paying their mortgages
( and tenants aren't paying rent ).

*If* governments bail everyone out,
including the little guy ( UBI ),
and *if* tariffs rise dramatically,
it'll be inflationary... 

....but those are big if's;
currently, the ( usually correct ) 
Treasury Bond market says 
that's not going to happen.

Lots of things will kill you, Huntzinger,

traveling, and growing older.

If you fear that,
then you deserve to be subject to
house arrest, under your dictators.

Little wonder then that no one,

I don't care.

Unless you're a dictator,
it simply doesn't matter.

Since when is it OK to put all your 
"loyal subjects" under house arrest ?!
Hint: Never.

Foolish cities encourage riots,
killing cops, general lawlessness, etc.;
at the same time, they force you to deny God,
and put Karl Marx first.

Marx fucked his employee then
rejected the resulting child.

Murderous tweakers started showing up

It's a red herring, to distract the hounds.

Driving your car to a grocery store
is more dangerous than not wearing a mask.

California Democrats won't let you go to church
for one and only one reason:

  Democrats reject God ( for Karl Marx ).

Meanwhile, they embrace murderous tweakers,
endearing themselves to slimy, naïve idiots,
like Bill Gates.

Bill Gates doesn't have to deal with 
all the people released from jail,
squatting next to me, robbing me blind,
physically beating whomever they choose.

Starting in 2009, both sides of the aisle,
including "trickle-down" Obama,
poured  7 trillion $ into the pockets 
of slimy, naïve idiots like Bill Gates.

If I had his money, I'd build jails.

Eat the rich.

> > Democrats own the shutdown, it belongs to them.

853 Covid-19 -associated- deaths,
as of today, Sep 8th, 2020, 
mostly in nursing homes.

You aren't making sense; as I said:

  In physics, entropy is how evenly
  heat/matter are distributed.

  Our  hot/dense  sun evaporates into
  the  cold/sparse  vacuum,
  losing 4.3 million tons each second.

  Our Universe is going from infinitely
  hot/dense  to infinitely  cold/sparse.

> What is your disproof, Jeff ?

God/Nature isn't what you want it to be;
it isn't subject to your hallucinations.

God is nature; nothing more, nothing less.

No, gravity is residual eXergy.

( force * distance ).

He had to lie, to cover his ass.

In the end, he wound up committing 
suicide by cop.

Thus he took down a most evil man.

    Conservative Utah and South Dakota didn't shut down;
    so, naturally, they had the lowest death rates.

    Democrats own the shutdown, it belongs to them.

    Likewise, they own the hordes of murderous tweakers.

    The fact that a growing horde of zombies
    can't afford rent is a bipartisan issue, 
    starting with "trickle-down" Obama, 2008.

Unless you're overdosing on LSD again,

Covid-19/climate fearing, bomb throwing,
bleeding-heart, hyper-naïve dictator...

No, it's based on -observability-,
not the presence ( or absence )
of an observer.

    The strength of the -probability- wave 
    depends on the coherency/predictability 
    of the source ( the particle beam ).

> and it tested out not to be that way...

De Facto, the -absence- of a test
( looking away from the moon )
is not a proper test.

(Apparent) Randomness is ignorance.

No matter what you may or may not know,
no matter what might be knowable,
the future is just as fixed as the past.

    "God" ( nature, General Relativity ) 
    is static, immutable, changeless and 
    timeless, both everything and nothing.

    "God" ( nature, thermodynamics, evolution ) 
    programmed (sustained) consumption into us;
    we're (robotic) consumers, like the sun.

  In physics, entropy is how evenly
  heat/matter are distributed.

  Our  hot/dense  sun evaporates into
  the  cold/sparse  vacuum,
  losing 4.3 million tons each second.

  Our Universe is going from infinitely
  hot/dense  to infinitely  cold/sparse.

True, Michael Reinoehl hunted down 
( and killed ) Trump supporters.

White people ( in Seattle and Portland )
should stop putting words in 
black people's mouths.

Racism is the foundation of the DNC;
" White man's burden ", and all that.

To finish his miserable life, 
Michael Reinoehl committed suicide by cop.

His dying words were "Civil War".

Hordes of murderous, looting tweakers,
thieving junkies, zombies, graffiting, 
burning down buildings, demanding 
that you surrender your home to them,
at 4am, are coddled by hyper-naïve,
snooty, over-educated pro(re)gressives.

When people like Hugh want cocaine,
they just go out and buy it;

poor people steal it from other
poor people, like myself.

Hugh doesn't feel the pain,
-- he doesn't understand --
he's too far removed from it.

Poor people are the canaries 
in the coal mine; they feel it first,
years before Hugh does.

The Fed's money, 7 trillion $, since 2008,
starting with "Trickle Down" Obama,
was poured into Apple, Amazon and Microsoft,
at the expense of mom-and-pop stores,
hair salons, and such.

Covid-19 is a red herring,

      Covid-19 is a red herring.

I can't shop at a grocery store without a facemask.

Fortunately for me, Amazon Fresh delivers
( SNAP EBT pays for it, no delivery fee, 
  no subscription, no sales tax, 
  it arrives 2 hours after I order, 
  the driver calls me, I track him
  on a map ( to the minute/meter ) ).

Covid-19 is a red herring,
meant to hide the truth:

  Democrats are 100 % incapable
  of abating the rising horde of 
  thieving junkies ( zombies ).

  Republicans punish savers
  and make housing unaffordable.

It's bad, and getting worse,
but still not unbearable.

I'll watch everything closely for months.

Man, the thieving junkies in my house
( which the city won't let me evict )
pounce the minute I'm out of my room.

I must take more/better precautions;
it's become -super- ridiculous.

Just today, one of my poor, hard-working
tenants moved out of his 555$/month room
into a 840 $/month, 200 SqFt private room
with a private bath ( shared kitchen ),
just to get away from the people here who 
were physically&emotionally attacking him
( because he stood up for himself ).

He was beaten mercilessly, while down, 
his phone was destroyed,
rancid piss was poured under his door
and windows.

The guy who did it, and his -many- friends,
including some of my bleeding-heart tenants,
roam the house freely, fearlessly.

They even beat young women, repeatedly;
no fear of repercussions at all.

Like no-fault divorce, no-fault eviction
is a basic human right that is denied us
because the city can't afford it.

Instead of paying more, I'll adjust.

Right, I'll probably get that money back.

I'm more worried about the data 
on the backup drives -- a talented thief 
could do a lot of damage with that.

Identity theft.

      My backup drives.

For the second time, recently,
someone broke into my room and stole my cell phone 
( which I used only once ( Equifax required it ) ),
pocketknives, a terabyte SSD drive ( very sad ), 
keys to my house's public areas ( very sad ),
my checks ( sad ), and expired passports.

They used my checking account number online, 
stealing 180 $ ( no signature );
consequently, I had to close my checking account.

To get the 180 $ back,
I'll have to fill out the paperwork 
that my bank is sending me.

They didn't take my desktop computer/monitor,
nor did they take my wallet 
( because I had it with me ? ).

Previously, they took my camera, a tablet,
pocketknives, and some other stuff.

I can't leave my room for more than a few minutes
without this happening -- strange times.

I need to be more careful with my backup drives;
anyone can read it.

Peekaboo scares Sam Wormley.

If he can't see you, he thinks you're not there.

Randomness is ignorance ( nothing more, nothing less ).

God is nature ( nothing more, nothing less ).

In physics, entropy is how evenly  
heat/matter  are distributed.

Our  hot/dense  sun evaporates into 
the  cold/sparse  vacuum,
losing 4.3 million tons each second.

Our Universe is going from infinitely
hot/dense to infinitely  cold/sparse.

"God" (nature) programmed us to ride this wave 
( i.e. to sustainably consume residual eXergy ),
same as the sun.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_of_the_Beast#Nero
//  666 is the numerical equivalent of the

Today, "Caesar" is Kim JongUn et al.
North Koreans worship him as if he were Jesus.

BLM worships Bernie Sanders.

They want a daddy to take care of them,
so they can sit at home and play video games.

//  Written in Aramaic, this can be valued at 666

Throughout the Bible, it's beyond obvious that
Babylon ( led by "Lucifer", the MorningStar )
is the devil.

"Caesar/Babylon/Lucifer" nailed Christ on the cross;
his friends rescued him, short of death.

Most people on this planet

They dream of eating bread or rice;
a cheeseburger is out of the question.

Most can't even digest dairy;
so they're short and skinny.

I can eat 3 cheeseburgers 
-- BBQ sauce, lettuce and tomatoes --
while watching YouTube.

I have to make it, but the ingredients
are delivered to my door, cost-free,
2 hours after I order it.

Not one dime was taken from my pocket;
not for food, not for delivery, 
not for taxes, not for subscriptions, nothing.

The people I know make 15 $/hour,
or less, if they're a Lyft driver,
part time ( full-time is -not- desired ).

Few, if any, benefits.

Long-Term assets are a big "no-no";
governments don't want you to have them.

Baby Boomers ( like me ) have an average of 
40 thousand $ saved for their golden years.

Like no-fault divorce, no-fault eviction
is a basic human right that is denied us
because governments can't afford it.

Freedom is too expensive,

      China is Nazi Germany all over again.

Looking back at the last 60 years,
in Seattle, Utah, and around the globe:

Food keeps getting better/cheaper.

Deflation: each year, I work fewer hours.

I cook for myself; 
no need for restaurants.
SNAP, EBT: 198 $/ month.

"Amazon Fresh" delivers my SNAP order 
2 hours after it's made; 
no shipping charge, no sales tax.

I can contract the deliveryman anytime,
as I followed him on a map;
he calls me when he's at my door.

Fresh, frozen, whatever.

Entertainment keeps getting better/cheaper;
YouTube, PornHub, torrents, ad-free, cost-free;
everything is downloadable ( YouTube-DL ).

No more indoctrination, no more lies;
ZeroHedge, WikiPedia, and Google inform me.

Health insurance ( MedicAid ) is also free,
but I've never used it.

Computer programming and managing 
a 32 unit rooming house
don't require much of my time.

It covers the rent,
with a little left over for savings.

Baby Boomers ( like me ) have an average of 
40 thousand $ saved for their golden years.

Accumulating ( risk-free ) savings
is too difficult; governments have done 
everything in their power to prevent it.

They've pumped up asset prices,
like a balloon, ready to pop.

If you put it in a trust fund,
your wife and kids might get it,
but they won't appreciate it.

Today, wealthier people don't have kids;
so the economy doesn't grow.

Decade after decade, 
GDP and inflation remain close to zero.

Kids today have nothing better to do than 
kill police, break shit, burn down jails, 
and chant ridiculous slogans.

A lot of them think they're black,
when they most-definitely are not.

Thieving junkies, squatters, abound;
they'll kill you for a cigarette.

Big city Democrats love them, 
coddle them, encourage them.

Like no-fault divorce, no-fault eviction
is a basic human right that is denied us
because governments won't pay for it.

Freedom is expensive, 
it takes hard work;
so Marxism is growing, big time.

Governments buy/control asset markets,
and set interest rates -- killing capitalism;
saving for the future is rare.

China is Nazi Germany all over again;
but, this time, with extra racism.

Other countries are following suit,
starting with Mao's "cultural revolution";
racism is the very foundation of the DNC.

Trump is our deadbeat-in-chief.

Viruses are a really, really stupid scapegoat.

because they don't want anyone to be

When you do a lot of coke,

it affects your immune system.

      Our GDP is down for the count.

2008, the Fed lowered rates and purchased 
4.5 trillion $ worth of bonds and 
mortgage-backed securities -- and 
they're still on the books.

Did inflation go up ? no it did not.

So far, the Fed hasn't touched the real economy;
credit cards rates are still 27 % APR,
and fewer cards are getting approved.

Debt spirals are deflationary.

      Deflation.

Lacy Hunt ( Bond Bull ), Aug 14, 2020:
//   The problem is people want a financial 
//   transaction to cover the problem. They 
//   want greater levels of debt — in other 
//   words, we’re going to try to solve an 
//   indebtedness problem by taking on more 
//   debt. Japan has tried many, many 
//   heroic measures to try to pull 
//   themselves out. Great results were promised.    
//   
//   The production function says GDP is 
//   determined by technology interacting 
//   with land, labor and capital. If you 
//   overuse one of the factors of 
//   production, such as debt capital, 
//   initially GDP will rise. You continue 
//   to overuse that factor of production, 
//   GDP flattens out; and if you continue 
//   to overuse that factor, GDP declines. 
//   More is not more — more is less.     
//   
//   The possibility exists that technology 
//   could step forward, and there are some 
//   smart people, like Bill Gates, who 
//   think technology will save us. But I 
//   think the technology answer has been 
//   provided to us by Dr. Robert Gordon at 
//   Northwestern. He said in our period of 
//   great growth from 1870 to 1970, we had 
//   transformative, revolutionary 
//   inventions. The combustion engine, 
//   modern sanitation, electricity, modern 
//   communication, pharmaceuticals and 
//   chemicals. Each one of those things 
//   enhanced the demand for labor and 
//   natural resources. Think about the 
//   natural resources and labor that were 
//   require to effectuate the benefit of 
//   the combustion engine. It led to the 
//   assembly line, complex supply chains, 
//   and we had to develop highways.    
//   
//   The technological changes today are 
//   more evolutionary, not revolutionary. 
//   The production function is one of the 
//   most fundamental relationships in all 
//   of economics, and it’s telling us 
//   we’re facing a period of difficult 
//   growth. Given these other

Spreading fear just governments richer and more powerful.

When a government knows you have money,
they take it -- still, you won't starve;
bread and circuses abound.

Americans are obese and entertained;
not starving and bored.

Governments give freshly printed money 
to corrupt officials ( e.g. Kim Jong Un )
first, before it's devalued.

Next, multi-national corporations get it,
to fight the trade war ( vs. Nazi China ).

The poorest pay for it, by decree.

Back in 1943, the cost of delivering a baby
was 1.5 weeks' wages ( no health insurance ); 
-- today, it takes 6 months' wages
and insurance premiums rob you blind.

Each year, one must work 3.83 % 
more hours to get the same result 
( a money-sucking baby ).

Forget having a barefoot and pregnant wife;
it takes multiple people,
with multiple incomes, just to pay the rent.

      No food stamps in "communist" (fascist) China.

In China, most people have never tasted cheese
or "beef" ( over-worked water Buffalo ).

They can't digest milk/dairy.

Also, they prefer fresh vegetables
over American-style fast/frozen/canned food.

Even in mega-cities, in skyscrapers,
they buy live chickens and slaughter them at home;
everything has to be super-fresh, like that.

Wild animals ( cats, dogs and sewer rats ) 
are a real treat; they pay more for that.

No food stamps in "communist" (fascist) China; 
no one eats for free.

That's one way to cut down on fat;
no wonder they're so skinny.

Some restaurants weigh their customers:

      Amazon Fresh.

Just now, on Amazon Fresh, I bought:

    $
   3.88:  2x 16oz Sour Cream 
    .67:     1oz Onion Dip Mix 
  10.64:  8x 11oz Totino's Supreme Pizzas
   8   :  4x 6oz Shredded Parmesan Cheese
   2.29:     5 lbs Potatoes
   9   :     12 Count Jimmy Dean Pancakes-n-Sausage
  16.40: 10x 15oz Chunky Chili, Microwavable Bowls
   3.38:  2x 6oz cans of Large Pitted Olives
  19.90: 10x 1 lb boxes of Saltine Crackers
   4   :     34oz Antiseptic Mouth Rinse, Blue Mint

It'll arrive 1 hour from now,
and I can track the driver on a map,
even when he's walking.   No delivery fee.

The food was paid for using EBT SNAP,
no sales tax.

Walmart groceries can't be delivered to my house,
here in NorthEast Seattle; even if they could,
it'd cost me 13 $/month for next day delivery.

I was going to buy this at my local Safeway store,
but I forgot my mask, so I couldn't do it.

      God

"BiologyMajor" asked:
> how [ the appearance of order ] is possible ?

Our Universe is going from infinitely  hot/dense
to infinitely  cold/sparse.

"God" (nature) programmed us to ride this wave 
( i.e. to sustainably consume residual eXergy ),
same as the sun.

In physics, entropy is how evenly  heat/matter  are distributed.
Our  hot/dense  sun evaporates into the  cold/sparse  vacuum,
losing 4.3 million tons each second.

Today's black holes are nothing like they used to be.

12.5 billion years ago, quasar J2157-3602 had
the luminosity of 695 trillion suns ( 2.66×10^41 Watts ).

695 trillion suns.

"God" ( nature, General Relativity ) is static, immutable, 
changeless and timeless, both everything and nothing.

Randomness is ignorance ( nothing more, nothing less ).

      Money evaporates.

Jesus famously prayed for bread.

In the Middle Ages, conquering armies
looted cities and took slaves.

Back in 1932, when unemployment was 24 %,
an unskilled worker - lucky - enough to 
have a job would have to work 12 minutes
to buy a loaf of bread
( 7.7¢ / ( 37¢ per hour ) * 60 ).

Today, it's free if you're on food stamps;
no need for a job; also, you can walk into
a store, grab it, and walk out without 
paying -- no one will say anything.

Or you can get it from a dumpster, 
or a food bank -- it's literally everywhere;
no one is starving, quite the contrary.

Artesian bread; countless varieties.

That's deflation;
chronic, long-term, predictable deflation.

To have a baby, the story is different.

But back in 1943, the cost of 
delivering a baby was 1.5 weeks' wages;
no need for health insurance; 
-- today, it takes 6 months' wages
and insurance premiums rob you blind.

Each year, one must work 3.83 % 
more hours to get the same result 
( a money-sucking baby ).

What if you want to save your money,
and not have someone, e.g. the government,
or a scamster, take it from you ?!

Money evaporates.

Since 1932, the value of gold, in dollars,
increased 100 fold, from 20.67 $/TroyOunce
to 2067 $ today; so inflation is 5.37 %/year,
minus the cost of guarding it, if you can.

If someone knows you have it, they can get it.

At least you own it, that's nice.

Democrats are staring at themselves in the mirror
when they scream " Racist ! "; they can't see 
any Republicans, nor do they want to.

Like Nazi Germany, racism is the foundation
of the Democrat's - regressive - movement.

Like Nazi Germany ( and China today ), 
Democrats are constantly revising history,
mimicking Mao's Cultural Devolution,
lynching anyone suspected of WrongThought.

Democrats promote Covid-spreading,
violent rioters, - Kristallnacht -,
and extensive graffiti if-and-only-if 
it supports the party.

God forbid someone dream of going to church;
Mao would roll over in his grave.

The more panic one can induce,
the more one can raise insurance premiums,
taxes and regulations -- making one richer.

America's 2018-2019 flu season saw nearly 61,200 deaths.

January 1, 2020 to May 18, 2020 saw 
83,000 COVID-19–associated deaths.

"Associated deaths" ignores a multitude of factors.

A sane society doesn't test everyone;
rather, it quarantines the sick.

      Banks didn't sell their foreclosed homes.

After the 2008 subprime boondoggle, 
banks didn't sell their foreclosed homes,
they just let them sit empty, rent free,
raking in the cash ( due to appreciation ).

Three million $ homes sit idle,
appreciating at an amazing rate;
later, they sell for 8 million $.

No one needs to pay rent because, last 12 years,
the government has poured trillions of dollars
into real estate, more than making up for it.

The vast majority of today's media,
as well as most mayors and governors,
are cheering on rioters even as they prohibit 
people from going to work and/or church.

I count you among them.

Unfortunately for you,

Saturday night, in Portland:
//  As one group of protesters gathered 
//  outside the courthouse -another- marched 
//  to a precinct for the Multnomah County 
//  Sheriff's Office -and- Portland Police Bureau.  
//  
//  [ Lost boys ] threw glass bottles 
//  and directed lasers at officers.
//  
//  By midnight, protesters again began 
//  to march through the streets downtown.

Democrats are "mostly peaceful"
like OJ was "mostly peaceful" 
the night he killed his wife.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Democrats have defaulted on life itself;
given up, joined the commune.

Medieval Knights sacked Jerusalem;

Eventually, this gave way to knight-errants;
Don Quixote.

Such is the intolerance of today's dark ages,
per the fall of America.

Mao's Cultural Devolution is alive and well,
here in America; in Portland, they tore down 
the long beloved elk fountain ! !

These (lost) boys are "mostly peaceful"
like OJ was "mostly peaceful" 
the day he killed his wife.

The city is sick, infirm, 
incapable of functioning;
in a word, it defaulted.

It's rotten to the core.

Democrats are staring at themselves in the mirror
when they scream " Racist ! "; they can't see 
any Republicans, nor do they want to.

Like Nazi Germany, racism is the foundation
of the Democrat's - regressive - movement.

Like Nazi Germany ( and China today ), 
Democrats don't tolerate " Wrong Thought ".

Can protests spread the virus ?

      The Spanish Inquisition has returned.

In America, "Right Think" mobs kill cops with impunity,
( per Mao's cultural devolution ) and the mainstream media,
-- including YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter --
cheers them on, lynching "Wrong Think" opponents.

Same thing is happening in China's ReEducation camps.

It's the Spanish Inquisition all over again,
the dark ages, per the fall of Rome.

Thank you, Bruce Wilds.

We need a "Riot Index", or some such.

Poor/Lost boys, rioting in the streets, globally,
are "canaries in a coal mine";
they feel the pain years before the "coal miners".

Mostly, it's not on the radar;
I see it, Warren Buffett sees it;
Gary Shilling sees it best.

Shilling tracks people's faith in the government,
or some such -- last 40 years, it's been falling,
along with interest rates, back to 1934 levels; to wit:

      I've no desire to live like Bodkin.

You ( Bodkin ) told me:

> and in rooming houses suitable for 
> the dreck of mankind, 

That's your opinion, not mine.

How much money must I have before you'll respect me
-- and why should I care ?

  Trying to keep up with the Joneses is a surefire way
  to live the most miserable life imaginable.
 
> you see squalor and ruin everywhere. 

I saw today's (horrid) recession 
3 years before it arrived.

At the time, I kept wondering, googling,
trying to find out why others didn't see it.

Same thing happened back in 2005,
3 years before the recession hit the broader economy.

Warren Buffett saw it, 
but Gary Shilling has/had the clearest view;
he knows years in advance what will happen and why.

Last 40 years, Shilling's T-bond investments outperformed 
the stock market 6 fold -- no one knows his wealth,
so he doesn't get respect.

As it turns out, T-bond investors really are
smarter than stock investors, like Shilling says.

> You are the product of your own lifestyle choices. 

Thank you !! I couldn't be any prouder, trust me.

I don't envy you in the slightest, 
not in any way, shape or form.

> Your view of the economy is littered with needles and fast food.

It's been years since I last tasted a bit of fast food;
many years.

I'm surrounded by drug addicts, snakes, lost boys;
but I don't partake.

  Like no-fault divorce,
  no-fault eviction is a basic human right.

  When the (infirm) state defaults,
  forcing enemies to reside together,
  things get real ugly, real fast.

  Lives are lost.

> Your view of health is tilted by 
> your preference to work while reclining.

I'm loving my life, I'm proud of every choice I made;
I've no desire to live like you, none at all;
you have no right to criticize me.

  It isn't just viruses that are varying,
  our immune systems also vary,
  depending on our physical and mental health.

  "Flu" deaths have been increasing, last 3 years;
  as the economy tanks, so does our health.

  In the 1980's, they were doing too much cocaine,
  destroying their immune systems; like today, 
  they blamed it on a ridiculous virus,
  to absolve themselves of all guilt.
 
> Your view of of the social safety net is tainted 
> with drug addicts and thieves. 

Society offered me free food, so I took it.
Free medical too, but I haven't taken it;
I thought about getting dentures, but I didn't do it.

Society invented these taxes+regulations, 
for their own benefit; I had nothing to do with it.

The only variable purveyors of panic porn ever
consider is the strength of the virus, which is unknowable,
because the strength of our immune systems is also a factor.

The more panic they can induce,
the more they can raise insurance premiums,
taxes and regulations -- making them richer.

America's 2018-2019 flu season saw nearly 61,200 deaths.

January 1, 2020 to May 18, 2020 saw 
83,000 COVID-19–associated deaths.

"Associated deaths" ignores a multitude of factors.

  Compared to last year, twice as many people 
  are dying this "Covid" season.

  And it has nothing to do with the virus per se;

Democrats are staring at themselves in the mirror
when they scream " Racist ! "; they can't see 
any Republicans, nor do they want to.

Like Nazi Germany, racism is the foundation
of the Democrat's "progressive" movement.

Age is definitely a factor, no doubt.

If I die early, so be it;

I take pizzas out of the freezer

To prepare one, I put extra stuff on top
( beans, meat, BBQ sauce and cheese ) and zap it 
in the microwave; then I eat it like a burrito.

It's more fun to do it by hand,

Instead of a cotton filter,

wasting a fraction of the 1.6 cent experience.

MrChrisV asked me:

> It's an expensive habit, too !

About 42 rollies per day; the tobacco 
weighs less than what you'd find
in a pack of cigarettes, maybe 15 grams.

It's about 69 cents per day,
including the Bic lighters.

I roll my own using pipe tobacco;
pipe tobacco has a much lower tax.

Rolling is actually more fun than smoking.

It's 21 $ / MONTH; to wit:

  50 Bic Lighters, 49 $, every 4 years.
  1.02 $ / MONTH. 

  54 thousand rolling papers
  ( 9x 20x 300 leaves ) every 3.5 years.
  350 $ / 3.5 YEARS, 8.33 $ / MONTH.

  30 pounds of tobacco ( 6x 5 lbs )
  every 2.5 years.
  350 $ / 2.5 YEARS, 11.67 $ / MONTH.

I feel fantastic.

My - only - problem is that I can't 
do much physical work before 
I need to lie down again.

Going to the store, and buying 20 pounds of groceries,
and lugging it up the hill, can be over-taxing,
if I'm not relaxed and well-rested.

> father-in-law got cancer of the throat,

My landlord, a non-smoker, got horrific throat cancer;
he can't eat solid foods anymore.

Occasionally, in the past,
my throat got irritated after I turned off my monitor,
and tried to sleep -- but it's easily remedied.

Drinking lots of water and eating saltine crackers
prevents it and, if it happens, hard candy makes me
feel good again, so I quickly fall asleep.

I doubt smoking is causing my symptoms, besides:

Besides "old age", I don't know the cause.
It could be a tooth infection, obesity,
a lack of exercise, and/or something else.

I don't have breathing problems.

I don't have the circulatory problems
that diabetics have -- my toes are pink 
and sensitive, not rotting off.

My favorite exercise, walking, 
is no longer fun; when not exercising, 
I feel fine.

Washington state might give me free dentures.

Hopefully, it won't be made of balsa wood.

Thanks for the kind notion,

I'm trying to price it now,

I'm wondering if the discount would be
based on my income or my savings too.

Maybe, but I feel great even while working,
I just can't do it for long,
I have to lie down for awhile, then resume.

The heavier the physical work,
the sooner I have to lie down again.

Light work I can do for a couple hours.

Carrying 20+ lbs of groceries up a hill
it is sometimes hard for me,
depending on how well-rested/hydrated I am.

I never feel short of breath -- never.

My heart might be inflamed due to a tooth infection;

How much is "1/20" in US dollars ?

Is the cost based on income, savings, or both ?

Unless my throat gets dry+sticky from sleeping
10 hours without consuming enough water+salt
I never feel like I can't breathe.

And, when that (rarely) happens, 
extending the length of my throat, 
by cocking my chin up, 
is an immediate fix.

After which, I consume water+salt.

Water and saltine crackers work great.

Also, I have a lot of sandwich crackers.

They are cheaper today than they were 30 years ago,
-- both in US dollar terms, and gold terms --
delivered right to my door, a few hours after I order.

Meanwhile, rent, gold, real estate, stock/bonds,
and medical/dental costs have quintupled in price.

> bad teeth not only ruin the quality of your life

Maybe, it's hard to know for sure.

medical science has been more wrong than right.

The vast majority of my day I'm lying down;
maybe I'm just out of shape.

I don't have to commute to work;
some of my food/shopping is delivered to me.

Mental tasks, such as programming,
never tire me; I never lose it, mentally.

My friend has a blood pressure meter;

I sleep like a baby for 10+ hours straight.

Occasionally, my throat gets so dry-n-sticky
( from not consuming enough water/salt )
that I can't breathe unless I:

-- Cock my chin up, stretching out my throat.
-- Suck on hard candy.  and/or:
-- Consume water/salt.

I don't consume any drugs;
neither prescription nor otherwise.

If I can find the name of my condition
( Non-Rechargeable Batteries, Human-Version ? )
I'll move this thread to a medical forum.

I'm a smoker.

When I turn off the computer, 
and lay down to fall asleep,
I notice some throat irritation.

Sucking on hard candy takes care of it;
my throat feels good again,
and I quickly fall asleep.

Problem is, all that sugar eventually causes
tooth pain -- not always, but often enough.

I should look into what kind of dental programs 
the state as for low income people; with luck, 
I won't have to fully deplete my savings.

I feel great, not fatigued.

I just can't do much physical work 
without needing to lie down again.

It's probably related to my tooth pain;
I could easily spend every dime I have
trying to fix my teeth, it's so expensive.

Black holes are very hot and bright.

Today's black holes are nothing like they used to be.
12.5 billion years ago, quasar J2157-3602 had
the luminosity of 695 trillion suns ( 2.66×10^41 Watts ).

Our Universe is going 
from infinitely  hot/dense

Lambda-CDM has already changed, I think.
Dark energy gets stronger as the universe ages.

Lambda is not a constant;
it's accruing, accelerating.

Conventionally, scientists say "mass" means "rest mass",

"ripping on them" makes him feel superior.

Unless you enjoy -Random- lags ( when will your post show up ? ),
Do NOT use a binary server to read Usenet.
For that, use INN servers; to wit:

  News2.Open-News-Network.ORG:119
  News6.Open-News-Network.ORG:119
          News.Individual.NET:119
  
  "OpenNews" is cost free; warning: these servers are SLOW.
  Register at:  Open-News-Network.ORG/register
                Must translate from German; if Captcha fails, F5 refresh.

  "Individual.NET" is 10 Euros per year;
  warning: its archive is heavily censored.

Do NOT post using Individual.NET, it'll censor you;
instead, use a binary server; to wit:
  
  News.US.Usenet-News.NET:119  or  usNews.BlockNews.NET:119 
  
  They won't censor you; they don't even keep the "Path:" line,
  so you can't be identified.  Their archive is over 18 years deep.
  $5 buys you 11 gigs, enough for several life times.
  If one is down ( -very- unlikely ), use the other one.

      The biggest scofflaw/criminal I've ever seen.

Seattle's mayor is the biggest scofflaw/criminal
I've ever seen; it needs a law-and-order mayor,
but none are on offer.

The no-go zone is strewn with used needles,
bizarro tweakers, thieving junkies, and 
professional victims in a concert-like atmosphere.

Our nation needs a fiscal conservative;
but none are on offer.

Around the world, central banks 
are making housing unaffordable,
destroying kids futures, pushing them into drugs.

Kids can't "get in on the ground floor"
of this government-run Ponzi scheme.

If you think there are no drugs present there,
amongst the large crowd, you're simply naïve;
it's a concert-like atmosphere.

In Seattle's no-go zone today,
two were shot, a teenager died.

      Drug riots.

In 1971, after "drug riots" in Seattle,
it was "lights out"; the city nearly shutdown.

Our "Woodstock", 1969, at Alki Beach,
was a drug riot.

When kids have no future, they drug riot.

If you check the history of "drug riots",
and compare them to the stock market,
you'll see that it's a leading indicator.

11,436 $, .953%, nearly a thousand $ per month.

Everyone is a renter, a tenant;

Buffett is sitting on 137 billion $ in cash;

Due to central-bank printing, semi-deflation (oil),
and the rush to "safe" assets, 
real estate, stocks and gold are overvalued.

Privacy is absurdly expensive, unaffordable.

A 1½ bath single-family home near where I live,
my former residence, sells for 1.2 million $.
Parking is impossible, you can't have a car.

But he can't.

Also, the state of Washington 
is tied up by massive fraud;

it handed out 650 million $ 
( quickly exchanged for bitcoin and such )
to West Africans ( Nigerians ) 
engaged in identity fraud.

Victims can't apply for unemployment
benefits until their fraud claims clear.

People who were receiving regular benefits before
the fraud occurred now go months without payments.

323 thousand are still awaiting payment, here;
44 thousand people are in adjudication, 
myself included.

Worse, there's a long-term, secular decline
in the labor force participation rate;
mainly kids who didn't

      Everyone suffers, not just the landlord.

Seattle, 2017 laws have made rentals 
much worse for everyone.

Hopefully, 
this will drive up security deposits;
they need to be much, much higher.

Tenants are given lawyers that successfully
prolong evictions for many months.

Not paying rent isn't enough to evict;
charities step in to pay the past due rent.

Judges refuse to hear about tenants' insane 
behavior and they will not consider late fees.

Screeners are not allowed to to know 
a potential tenant's criminal history.

To kick someone out based on bad behavior,
landlords need a formal conviction.

Thousands of dollars are lost this way;
bad tenants push out better tenants.

Everyone suffers, not just the landlord.
Everyone suffers, not just the landlord.
Everyone suffers, not just the landlord.

Thieving junkies ingratiate a tenant,
making it impossible to trespass them.

No-fault eviction is a basic human right,
No-fault eviction is a basic human right,
No-fault eviction is a basic human right,
little different from no-fault divorce.

      All theories are wrong, some are useful, sometimes.

In physics, entropy is how evenly - heat/matter -
are distributed.

Our - hot/dense - sun evaporates
into the - cold/sparse - vacuum,
losing 4.3 million tons each second.

Our Universe is going from infinitely - hot/dense -
to infinitely - cold/sparse -.

"God" (nature) programmed us to ride this wave 
( i.e. to sustainably consume residual eXergy ),
same as the sun.

All theories are wrong, some are useful, sometimes;
i.e. quantum ignorance doesn't falsify 
thermodynamics nor General Relativity.
  
Randomness is ignorance ( nothing more, nothing less ).
"God" ( nature, General Relativity ) is static, immutable, 
changeless and timeless, both everything and nothing.

didn't stop him from talking for 8 minutes.

UnWilling to enter the cop car,
Floyd collapsed, as happens with Covid-19 sufferers.

The cops were insensitive to his peril,
I agree, but they weren't the "racist pigs"
that so many rioters need them to be.

Why do hippies need to riot ?

Police are the heroes -- not the looters,

      Nobody wants to emulate China.

Our "Progressive" mayor is thrilled with current events,
calling it "the summer of love"; she's telling Trump: 
" Go back into your bunker. ".

Actually, it's more like "The Purge",
" The summer of bloody rape. ".    

The police save lives, including black lives.

Looting and arson are perfectly acceptable, commendable;
but you'll get a ticket if you try to run a hair salon.

Since when was Detroit the envy of the world, 
something to be emulated ?!

Isn't that cultural appropriation ?

Meanwhile, nobody wants to emulate China;
hell no, that'd be "racist, fascist, polluting";

      We have to hand over the reins.

Last few years, laws enacted in Seattle are 
effectively a -huge- increase in both taxes
and regulations.

At the same time, services provided by 
the city have diminished to near zero.

We can't even get rid of a violent,
rapey housemate -- Lord have mercy !
If not the Lord, I'll take the Mafia.

"Progressives" are doing their damnedest 
to turn every city in America into Detroit;
complete with arson and looting.

If you really, -truly- believed that 
black lives mattered, you'd double the police 
force, especially in Chicago.

"Progressives" wrong-think starts at a young age,
when little Johnny, in his pink miniskirt,
could do no wrong.

Without punishments and rewards, 
nothing gets done, and 
we have to hand over the reins
to "racist, fascist, polluting" China.

Anyone who tries to do anything good in America
is immediately shouted down with the words,
"racist, fascist, polluter".

Meanwhile, negative interest rates, 
( after inflation ), negative risk premiums,
and the tech boom are driving Seattle's
real estate prices through the roof.

So buying your own home isn't an option for 
your typical part time, minimum-wage worker,
putting up with rapey, violent housemates.

Yes.  Even before the riots, 
the looters were out in force, big time,
stealing shit, left and right, squatting wherever.

It reminds me of the hippie riots in 1968;
by 1970, Seattle was mostly shut down.

The last time interest rates were this low
it was 1934, the Great Depression,
with "Hoovervilles" ( tent cities ).

      Cops should be more sensitive.

Cops should be more sensitive;
George Floyd had heart disease
( from decades of drug abuse )
and he was sick with COVID-19.

Rioters don't care about any of this;
not the drug use, not the COVID-19.

DemocRat cities are boarded up,
for Christ's sake.

Floyd keeled over,
as happens with COVID-19 sufferers;
heart disease + inflammation = death.

A knee on the side of the neck, as happened,
doesn't cause asphyxiation; 
he was talking, no problem.

Accusing the cop(s) of "murder"

You don't have to be rich to be a wonderful person;
e.g. Jesus, Buddha, Darwin and Einstein.

Jesus agreed with our central bankers; saying:

> For whosoever hath, to him shall be given,
> and he shall have more abundance; 
> 
> but whosoever hath not, from him
> shall be taken away even that he hath.

See: "Parable of the Talents" and
"Parable of the Sower".

In Matthew 25:30 KJV, Jesus says:

> Cast ye the unprofitable servant
> into outer darkness:  there shall be 
> weeping and gnashing of teeth. 

The idea is that you plant your "seed" 
(investment) where you get the highest return;
i.e. you give it to the (proven) rich,
not to the poor (deadbeats).

Don't cast pearls before swine.
Never try to teach a pig to sing; 
it wastes your time and it annoys the pig.

How would you solve this problem ?

Communism doesn't allow for punishments and rewards;
so no one is motivated to do anything.

This is why North Korea is in a permanent blackout.

Also, it's why China turned fascist;
it doesn't tolerate thieveing junkies
and professional victims.

> alt.right assholes 

If they don't make sense, ignore them.

You can't teach a pig to sing.

2000 years ago Jesus knew that 
wisdom&money should be -taken- from the less worthy
and given to the more worthy.

Since then, nothing has changed.

Very Old Testament (Torah),

Yes, as I recently posted:

  Cops must be more sensitive to sick people;
  George Floyd was too weak to handle it.

  He had a heart attack;
  heart disease and COVID-19.

Racism and police brutality are red herrings,
drawing people away from bigger issues; to wit:

  Everyone in America is "rich" ( well-off );
  but that's not enough for the DemocRats;
  they want -everyone- to be (equally) -poor-.

  The goal isn't just absurd and unobtainable,
  it's also undesirable because, 
  without punishments and rewards, nothing happens.

  George Floyd was a thieving junkie,
  and a professional victim, 
  just like his "supporters".

Police shoving 75-year-old white man:
  www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ww-Xq0yZfw

The police weren't being exceptionally vicious,
the old man simply couldn't handle it.

Likewise, George Floyd was so sick, 
he simply fell down.

He had heart disease and COVID-19;
he was abusing meth and fentanyl.

He died of a heart attack,
not asphyxiation.

He was a thieving junkie,

Everyone in America is "rich" ( well-off );

America is manic-depressive.

Interest rates could be -30 %, it wouldn't help;
no one is going to lend money to deadbeats,

In uncertain times people save money,
investing in the (overpriced) stock market, 
instead of spending it.

Norway and Singapore have the best healthcare

Teaching a pig to sing is a waste of your time;

You can't give wisdom to those who are 
unable to receive it; likewise,
it's pointless to give money to those
who can't employ it properly.

You don't have to be rich to be a wonderful person;
e.g. Jesus, Buddha, Darwin and Einstein.

Arsonists are dumber than a rabid dog;
sure, their bodies are mature, but 
their minds are (permanently) stunted.

Blonde haired, blue-eyed Norway,

Singapore have the best healthcare systems,
but they're fΑscist too, not just socialist.

      Ignoring bad habits.

The rich are doing better than ever;
-only- the poor are suffering.

It’s silly to blame it on a virus,
completely ignoring bad habits.

Virus or not, obese geezers weren’t
going to live long anyways.

Our youth are suffering too;
half of them are unwanted,
unneeded, “nonessential”, lost.

Hence the low fertility rate;
women are having fewer kids.

The bluer the state, the worse it is;
people are voting with their feet.

Europe is worse off than America.

      NO-CAUSE EVICTION IS A BASIC HUMAN RIGHT.

Like no-fault divorce, 
NO-CAUSE EVICTION IS A BASIC HUMAN RIGHT;
otherwise, housemates ( in a rooming house,
SRO ) suffer.

When a woman wants out of a marriage,
she doesn't have to explain herself
to anyone; she's just freed.

As it stands now, the police+courts stand 
by the bad actor, forcing better tenants 
to move out of the SRO.

Most of the nation is too rich to understand 
how the police+courts screw-over SRO tenants.

It's very Darwinian, I suppose;
nature has no mercy for the weak.

It’s so bad, even our schools are shut down,

exceeds demand; schools are closed

Same here, in urban Seattle;
society carelessly mistreats us.

We've gangs of squatters breaking windows, 
light fixtures, doors, and the washing 
machine/dryer ( for the coins ).

There's a lot of them, high on drugs;
they steal bikes, mail and packages.

The police refuse to do anything about it;
the jails are mostly empty.

We're not allowed to evict;
so the bad tenants have chased out 
the better ones.

I've 5 unrented rooms right now,
out of 32.

Most are not paying rent because 
they know they don't have to;
the landlord is slow to fix things.

The University of Washington is 
shut down indefinitely;
buildings and stores are closed.

The (former) fraternities to my North 
and South are both empty.

The 109 unit apartment complex, 
across the alley, is unusually quiet.

When I first moved here, early 2006,
it was concert-level loud; now you can 
hear the trees rustling in the wind.

Labor force participation is down;
it's a long-term trend.

Fear is growing like a cancer; people
are fleeing risky stocks in favor of 
U.S. treasury bonds, pinning the yield curve.

1909 ("November 2019 Major Update")
is the version I'm currently running;
before that it was 1903 ( May 2019 Major Update ).

The latest is Version 2004 ( May 2020 Major Update ).

Installing a "major update" is similar to 
reinstalling Windows;
it doesn't have to be a "clean" install.

"automatic updates" are turned off;
I never use them.

iPhone users sacrifice a lot for portability;

On the desktop, Mac Pros have always been a joke;

The author of an app has a lot of power in his hands,
power which would be diminished by catering to others.

For example, I wrote something similar to a DOS shell
that uses compiled C++, instead of interpreted DOS commands.

And it has PostScript like graphics,
( Direct2D->CreatePathGeometry(), C++ ).

      Quarantining the general population.

Up until recently, quarantining 
the general population was unheard of.

What a coincidence that this happens right
when closing borders became super-popular
and the CCP suddenly started worrying about 
how their fertility rate will eventually
eliminate the Han race.

The "Infection Fatality Rate" (IFR)
estimates the fatality rate of 
all* infected.  [ *: detected or not ]

The common flu has an IFR of .02 to .05 %;
in Iceland, Covid-19 has an IFR of .3%,
(foolishly) -assuming- co-morbidity 
( and politics ) haven't biased the data.

As I recall, you, Hugh, 
were posting much larger IFR ratios.

      Are you getting a cut of the hysteria ?

All of the Covid-19 data you've shown here
had a selection bias worse than that of
the emergency rooms and Iceland, Hugh.

Unless you're trying to close borders
( due to OverProduction and under consumption ) and/or
make babies ( the fertility rate is low&falling )
you quarantine the sick ( in {floating} nursing homes ),
-not- the general population.

What's your motivation, Hugh ?

No such bias in their data.

They issued an open invitation to 10,797 persons and
sent random invitations to 2283 persons.
6% of the population was screened.

      Floating Nursing Homes.

> 'follow the money'

OverProduction is a problem these days.

Milk is being dumped, 
oil is selling for -40 $/barrel, etc.

The only thing we don't OverProduce is:
long-term care for homeless lunatics.

Honestly, I think we want them to die
for their "sins", along with hookers;
with full intent, we write laws that 
put them in harm's way.

First China, then the rest of the world,
used a mild flu (Covid-19) as an excuse
to close borders and spawn babies.

Interesting side-effects:

  -- An increased divorce rate.
     Google: Covid-19 divorce

  -- A closer look at "cruises"
     ( floating nursing homes ).

      Asset prices will fall dramatically.

Instead of printing money to 
bailout the (morally) bankrupt,
(lazy) governments should've provided 
long-term care for homeless lunatics.

There's a teeter totter:

  -- Asset prices are on one side. 
  -- Consumer prices are on the other.

Currently, asset prices are up in the air;
consumer prices are at the bottom.
But that's about to switch.

Landlords are about to sell because (lazy) 
governments won't kick out bad tenants
( so the good tenants had to leave ).

As a result, buildings will be shuttered and
the price of rent will go up, 
pushing up the CPI,
forcing interest rates up.

Asset prices will fall dramatically.

"No Cause Eviction", like no-fault divorce,
means I don't have to tell anyone "why";
I just don't want them with me.

Stop paying your taxes for awhile,
and/or get divorced,
then you'll see who the real "homeowner" is.

Ignoring asset inflation, since 2005,
it's cheaper to rent.

The asset inflation is/was designed to hide
morally-bankrupt scions.

> I know this from my own past experiences with

Then kick them out, and get new ones;
if the law blocks you, because it's 
too lazy to lift a finger, sell the house.

Instead of printing money to support the morally bankrupt,
use it to provide long-term care for homeless lunatics.

Why are "Hoovervilles" ( tent cities )

You'd burn them down,  and/or
ship them to concentration camps,
to be disposed of ?!

Would you make them sing "God bless America" as they burn ?

Imagine being surrounded by lunatic squatters,
laughing at you as you impishly object to 
their property damage, threats and theft.

When you call the police, 
they join in the fun, laughing at you.

How do you justify forcing out better tenants 
in favor of worse ones ?

      No-Fault Evictions are a basic human right.

No-Fault Evictions are a basic human right,
same as no-fault divorce;
and I say this as a staunch tenant-advocate
( better tenants are forced out, and suffer ).

Where are China's homeless ?
"Re-Education" camps ?

Honestly, I believe society wants 
certain "sinners" to die for their "sins";
hookers, for example, are placed in harm's way
-- Canadian lawmakers blatantly admit it.

I'm just a property manager; still,
I feel the same as Fadela Hussein; see:
  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0Vwerb2JvE

I can't stand seeing the behavior 
and attitudes of certain tenants/squatters;
it's demoralizing, stressful, depressing.

Perhaps she'll sell some of her properties,
and the Fed will print enough money to stop 
housing prices from falling, like 2008.

But that's just killing the pain,
not solving the problem.

One day, our addiction to "free" money 
must come to an end.

If you had 6 million $, living single,

you could buy a 3 million $ house and use 
the rest of the money to pay taxes,

When your immune system is weak,

then, if you get hit by a car and die,
it's reported as a Covid-19 death.

No, what other viruses do those 5318 people have,

heroin is more expensive than religion.

The straight apostrophe, ' (U+0027 APOSTROPHE) is ambiguous,
as it could also be an open quotation mark, or a prime symbol;
it only exists to save space on the keyboard.

Google: Thunderbird filters

The email stuff works for posts as well,
as they are ultra similar.

FiltaQuilla uses regular expressions.

Write the proper JavaScript extension,
maybe toss in some CSS,

But this is far beyond "Joe SixPack", of course.

      Hoovervilles.

I assume that the virus is everywhere,
especially in hospitals.

When you toss people out on the streets,
as is happening now,
emergency rooms are packed tighter.

Bill Gates is focused on the virus,
because that's the easiest thing to do;
I'm focused on the Hoovervilles,
the mentally ill drug abusers who need long-term care.

      Michael Moroney's paranoid, pot-addled brain.

Michael Moroney's paranoid, pot-addled brain is incapable
of understanding that Thunderbird's default settings prevent
the "tracking" problems that scare him so.

MrChrisV is too childish to admit that his newsreader 
can't handle Unicode ( which requires font mixing-n-matching ).

Likewise, SLRN can't mix-n-match fonts,
as Unicode requires ( especially when it comes to emojis ).

      This is an HTML post.

This is an HTML post.

For years, ChrisV plonked me because his newsreader
couldn't handle my posts; for similar reasons, 
people block posts from Google Groups.

His newsreader, Agent, doesn't understand UTF-8.

UTF-8, not US ASCII, has been the standard for decades now.

Also, Agent borks HTML, big time.

SLRN, a console newsreader, has no such problems.

Mozilla Thunderbird is the gold standard for newsreaders;
but 99.999 % of people can't configure it properly.

Most people can't write the CSS, nor the JavaScript,
required to make it super nice.

Unless you enjoy -Random- lags ( when will the post show up ? ),
Do NOT use a binary server to READ Usenet; instead, use:
  
   News.Individual.NET:119  //  10 Euros per year.
  
Do NOT post using Individual.NET, they'll censor you;
instead, use a binary server; to wit:
  
  News.US.Usenet-News.NET:119  or  usNews.BlockNews.NET:119 
  
  They won't censor you; they don't even keep the "Path:" line,
  so you can't be identified.  Their archive is over 18 years deep.
  $5 buys you 11 gigs, enough for several life times.
  If one is down ( -very- unlikely ), use the other one.

      Misdirected Charity.

Near as I can tell, most multi-family apartment
owners have deep pockets; also, they’re
first in line at the printing press.

Problem is, there’s not enough charity going on;
either that, or it’s misdirected.

Bill Gates worries about (ubiquitous) viruses,
as if that were the primary cause of deaths;
he doesn’t understand (proper) cause-n-effect.

Apparently, Seattle can’t afford long-term
care for mentally-ill drug abusers.

Heroin is a pain reliever.
Religion is a pain reliever. God is nature.
Money printing is a pain reliever.

      Homelessness and wealth inequality.

Thousands of years ago, Jesus agreed with 
today's central bankers; saying:

> For whosoever hath, to him shall be given,
> and he shall have more abundance; 
> 
> but whosoever hath not, from him
> shall be taken away even that he hath.

See: "Parable of the Talents" and
"Parable of the Sower".

In Matthew 25:30 KJV, Jesus says:

> Cast ye the unprofitable servant
> into outer darkness:  there shall be 
> weeping and gnashing of teeth. 

The idea is that you plant your "seed" 
(investment) where you get the highest return;
i.e. you give it to the (proven) rich,
not to the poor (deadbeats).

Don't cast pearls before swine.
Never try to teach a pig to sing; 
it wastes your time and it annoys the pig.

That said, we cannot raise interest rates,
-- we cannot pop the asset price bubble --
unless-n-until we provide long-term care
for mentally-ill drug abusers.

Once done, homelessness and wealth inequality
are quite tolerable.

Luke 19:27 KJV:

It seems rather natural for people to think
that the homeless person "earned" his sad fate;
hence overcrowded jails/shelters/hospitals.

In other words, today's dire health crisis,
homelessness, exists by (subconscious) design.

Rooms need painting, floors need replacing.

Nice, single-family rentals are doing OK;

You know the difference between

It's a Vittles Vault, not a bucket.

It bothers no one; I've plenty of visitors.

Someday, after you've matured a bit,

Your government decided to give food 
to low income people, like me; and I accepted.

If you offered me food,
I'd take it, like a gentleman.

Bitching at me won't change anything,
and it's affecting your mental health.

Currently, the government is bailing out 
everyone and their dog -- trillions of dollars.

Multi-family properties are suffering.
Single-family rentals seem to be doing okay.

My SRO tenants are approaching me,
saying they don't have to pay rent.

Eventually, the ban on evictions will go away,
and they won't be able to catch up.

If they fight it, in court, they can win.

Seattle gives them crack lawyers, no charge,
and charities pay the past-due rent.

Late fees, court fees, and property damage,
must be transferred to a bill collector;
the judge doesn't want to hear about it.

Evicting someone for bad behavior is
damn near impossible in "progressive" Seattle.

If they lose, they won't leave unless-and-until
the sheriff drags them out.  Even then,
some have to be trespassed -- they hang around.

There's a tsunami of scary squatters,
stealing bikes and UPS packages;
they trade it for meth, heroin and sex.

The police tell me they aren't sending 
anyone to jail these days.

Taxpayers decided to give low-income people food stamps;
I had nothing to do with it, nothing at all.

Property managers, such as myself,
are usually paid 10 % of the rent roll;
in my case, that it'd be 2.2 thousand $/month.

Instead, I get reduced rent;
at times, I don't even get that.

And, if you read my posts, you'd realize 
that my job is fucking hazardous too.

I'm outnumbered.

Squatters, "Ave Rats", are everywhere, all the time.

The guy I chased out this morning, 4:30am,
knifed a friend of mine.

> Offer him a job and place to live,

You have no idea; nor do you care to know.

A lot of these guys truly are disabled;
you yourself would never hire them;
even if you did, you'd fire them shortly afterwards.

Trust me, it's not fun knowing these people,
up close and personal.

New construction targets the richest tenants, duh !

The ever diminishing, oldest construction is
where the poorest live -- if they're super lucky.

Homelessness is the greatest healthcare crisis in America.
America wants them dead, apparently.

Currently, Seattle has a 30 day moratorium 
on evictions -- and it'll likely be
extended beyond 60 days.

Starting 2 years ago, deadbeat tenants have 
been given free, amazing lawyers.

For many months now, we've been trying to evict
an off-the-wall insane meth addict, 
who never pays rent -- charities have given him 
many thousands of dollars ( for rent ).

When "screening" tenants, I'm not allowed to 
know or consider one's criminal history.

I -- must -- accept money from charities;
once, when I balked, 
I was threatened with a lawsuit.

He's fresh from Ethiopia, with a long police record,
who continually breaks windows ( big time ), 
punches holes in the wall, harbors drug dealers,
attacks women ( and others ), and
vibrates the house at 4 am with his music.

When a housemate, a young University of Washington
student, asked him to turn it down, he got maced.
He pulled a knife on me.

Recently, he tried to break down 
the door of one of our last remaining tenants;
apparently, he wants to floor all to himself.

Three of my tenants have filed 
restraining orders against him.

The police tell me they're not putting
anyone in jail these days, due to the virus.

Seattle wants him to be -- my -- problem;
they've washed their hands of it.

We should worry less about viruses
and more about compromised immune systems
due to poor housing.

      The cheapest housing.

The rooming house that I manage offers 
the crappiest/cheapest SROs available.
[ SRO: Standing Rooms Only ]

Every year, more and more people can't
afford the cheapest/crappiest rent;
and our vacancy-rate goes up.

"Hoovervilles" ( tent cities ) are 
worse now than they were in the 1930's.
Yeah, those were the good old days !

The cheapest housing has the worst tenants,
the most: evictions, drugs, property damage,
squatting, and police activity.

Every year, such housing vanishes 
like a teardrop in Death Valley.

Where's the technology 
when you really needed it ?!

Windows 10 never nags me, never.

Microsoft Office 2016 nags me,

I can't remember the last time I got a BSOD.
It must've been --many-- years ago.

Some people simply can't configure Windows 10 properly;
it's too confusing, with all the new hardware/software.

For them, I suggest the iPhone, or an android.

No, hence the fresh install.

Microsoft doesn't keep the latest drivers

“The Grapes of Wrath” is about small farms
going under, unions, and the starving.

Starvation is no longer a problem,
we’re obese; today, we need housing.

Who will solve the housing issue ?

Who will become the Amazon of housing ?

This is the real issue, Governor,

You are afraid of the unknown,
which reminds me of HIV in the early 80's.

The Y2K bug was bogus.
HIV never lived up to the hype.

Our current problems started earlier,
with the riots in Hong Kong and Chile;
the virus is a symptom, not the cause.

Willy-Nilly borrowing,
like there’s no tomorrow,
relieves the pain.

Heroin and religion also work,
when the pain is too great.

Last time it was this bad,
World War II woke us from the slumber.

Whenever something is unknown and/or unknowable,
people freak out and imagine the worst.

Real viruses are trivial;
unknown viruses are apocalyptic.

"Shut up and Calculate" is preferable to imagining 
bizarre universes constantly popping into existence 
everywhere, as pop-science would have it. 

Despite the lack of evidence, it's safe to assume that
Schrodinger's cat is either dead or alive, not both.

The future is just as fixed as the past;
the 4 dimensional TimeScape is static, immutable.

Randomness is ignorance, nothing more, nothing less.
"God" is nature, nothing more, nothing less.

Religion is a painkiller, similar to heroin 
and today's prolific "lending".

Minimum-Wage Regulations benefit government/union 
workers to the detriment of the poorest among us
who can't reach the lowest rung on the ladder.

These people are -poor-;
you can't even imagine it, Hugh.

California AB5 bans people who'd work fewer hours
because it harms government/union workers.

Seattle won't let property managers screen potential
tenants based on their criminal history;
as a result, good tenants move out.

Seattle provides tenants with crack lawyers;
so it takes countless months/money to evict 
someone who hasn't paid rent.

As a result, good tenants move out.

Seattle won't touch career criminals;
as a result, innocent people die 
and good people leave the city.

In Cuba, where Castro-loving "Bernie Sanders"
are everywhere, your only job is to wait in line
for that same piece of bread you've
been eating for decades.

According to Wikipedia...

December 14, 2018, Judge O'Connor ruled that
The Affordable Care Act is no longer constitutional.

In December of 2019, the Fifth Circuit agreed that
the individual mandate was unconstitutional.

The Supreme Court accepted the case in March 2020,
but to be heard in the 2020-2021 term,
with the ruling likely falling after the 2020 elections.

Every loan magically produces money out of thin air.

And the government borrows like there's no tomorrow.

Submissive Banks do the government's bidding.

The Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae,

The Fed's balance sheet still contains plenty of

The government doesn't need/want bankers.

No one borrows more than the government.

In Seattle, my hometown,
rents went up 68% from 2010 to 2017.

If you're on a fixed income,
and the government lies to you,
telling you that inflation is 1 %,
you end up on the streets.

54 % of Seattle households rent.

12,112 of us are homeless.

      I have no fear.

Nine people have died from the Chinese flu,
here in my state, Washington; but
I don't know anyone who's been sick from it.

I've been working with a guy who escaped 
Shanghai right before the last flight out,
near the end of January, 35 days ago.

It took him 5 hours to get to the airport,
instead of 30 minutes, due to road-blocks.

He raises live chickens at his Mercer Island
mansion; so his meat and eggs are fresh.

Imagine that, slaughtering a live chicken,
and plucking it, when you want to eat it;
for me, heating-up a frozen dinner is laborious.

In China, people happily pay a premium
for wild-caught meat, hanging in the market,
unrefrigerated -- food safety is an issue.

No one trusts baby-formula made in China;
foreign versions are traded on the (huge)
black market, alongside European chocolates.

In China, not even Walmart carries cheese;
they eat some kind of "oxen", not beef.
Rats and dogs are on the menu. 

Walking along the street, here in Seattle,
I see Chinese people wearing facemasks.

Still, I have no fear.

A tsunami of cash, pouring into the markets, 
is pricing people out of the rental market.

On the bright side:
-- Oil is cheap.
-- Asia still has a great work ethic.
-- Singapore is a duplicatable success story.

The recent drop in the stock market
was attributed to China's flu.

Viruses are everywhere, all the time;
stress is the reason the 1918 flu killed
6 x more people than the war itself.

China's cure is worse than the disease.

The stock market is bursting with money;
a cash tsunami.

Negative interest rates, negative risk premiums.

No one, anywhere, is concerned about rising debt,
especially not the government.

Meanwhile, GenZ has given up hope of renting,
much less owning, a place to stay.

See the contrast ?

Intrinsically, it's infinite, eternal;
but all observations are finite.

We're talking "thermodynamics"; specifically, 
spontaneous changes from the less probable
to the more probable.

Rolling "snake eyes" ( 1, 1 ) is less probable
than rolling a 7 ( 3, 4; 5,2; 1, 6; ... ).

  In physics, entropy is how evenly
  heat/matter  are distributed.

  Our  hot/dense  sun evaporates into 
  the  cold/sparse  vacuum,
  losing 4.3 million tons each second.

  Our Universe is going from infinitely
  hot/dense  to infinitely  cold/sparse.

  "God" (nature) programmed us to ride this wave 
  ( i.e. to sustainably consume residual eXergy ),
  same as the sun.

We consume what nature gave us, same as the sun.

In the absence of a vacuum,
photons are absorbed and re-emitted.

An electron might absorb a photon,
if it's the right frequency,
and get pushed into a higher, discrete "orbit" 
( a new probability distribution, actually ).

Such "orbits" are discrete, not continuous.

Later, the electron might emit a photon,
at a certain, specific frequency,
sending the electron down to a lower "orbit".

Many factors are more powerful than genetics;

How does she plan on paying for it ?

It was the government's endless need for debt, 
supplied by the central bank,
that created the negative interest rates, 
and the negative risk premiums, not "banksters".

It's a Ponzi scheme and, 
like all Ponzi schemes,
only the first in line will get paid.

Trump was born on third base, 
yet imagines he hit a triple.

The S&P 500 went up 29% last year;
Bernie Madoff would never be so bold.

Once people start cashing out,
best be first in line,
because there isn't enough to pay everyone.

Cheap oil helps, seriously.

Unlike Linux, Windows 10 -can- be configured properly.

It's difficult to do;

It was the government's endless need for debt, 
supplied by the central bank,
that created the negative interest rates, 
and the negative risk premiums, not "banksters".

And that has nothing to do with the parasites
that (foolish) women are popping out these days.

The richer and more educated a woman is,
the less likely she is to bear children.

The snake is a euphemism for "penis".

Blaming "it" (sex) on Eve's desire for penis

Like you, Hitler was fond of "Nordic socialism";
i.e. he liked blondes.

Singapore has the best healthcare system in the world,
bar none, and it's very multicultural.

Problem is, they aren't always as smart as they seem.

They ask women to have 4 kids, yet it's not happening;
-- their Muslim neighbors are out-breeding them.

Bernie benefits union workers 
to the exclusion of everyone else.

He'd ban gig workers, like me, 
because we outperform unions.

      -Only- absolute poverty has meaning.

Bernie Sanders only cares about unions;
and unions are dying out.

Bernie is boring.
Detroit is a failure, not worthy of praise.

Relative poverty is meaningless;
-only- absolute poverty has meaning.

Many -choose- poverty for this very reason;
so they can feel alive.

As horrific as it is, living in a tent,
and having your blankets stolen every night,
stealing from your love ones ( for drugs ),
and subjecting yourself to horrendous poisons,
many find it preferable to working at McDonald's.

Young, healthy -kids- like the thrill.

Unlike Los Angeles, San Francisco and Seattle,
New York City actually takes care of its poorest.

For this reason, I'd like to see Bloomberg address
the issue nationwide.

If everyone is talking about Bloomberg,
how the rich are getting richer,
and the poor are getting poorer,
with the government solidly behind it all...

then Bernie will have been ignored,
and Bloomberg will get elected.

Jeff Bezos and Steve Jobs owe their success
to their adoptive parents; nurture over nature.

Bezos proved, beyond any doubt, that Democrats,
like AOC, are job/innovation destroyers.

If you want to be like Detroit, Seattle,
AOC is showing you the way.

      People's immune systems.

Viruses are everywhere, all the time;
what varies is people's immune systems.

China is handling the virus quite well,
relatively speaking.

"Swine flu", first seen in Mexico, April 2009,
officially ended August 2010.

Up to 1.4 billion people might've contracted it;
up to 575,000 people may have died from it.

      Seattle is suicidal.

Union membership is dwindling;
mostly, it's confined to government "jobs".

Bernie Sanders puts unions first, 
before everyone else.

He only cares about "relative poverty",
a.k.a. jealousy;
absolute poverty doesn't interest him.

Seattle puts young, professional scofflaws 
before everyone else.

Basically, the city is trying to kill itself.

It's kids, looking for love in all the wrong places.

Working at McDonald's doesn't impress the girls;
and giving them drugs gets you laid.

Honestly, it feels like 2008 all over again.

Negative risk premiums are absurd;
an inverted yield curve is absurd.

Everyone should be in cash,
the economy should sink.

A 3 car garage in the middle of the (flooded) Amazon
is worth zero dollars, if not less.

San Francisco and Seattle are _extremely_ tolerant
when it comes to drugs and crime.

Still, no one would call them "slums";
quite the opposite,
we pay the highest rents in the world.

      The state of the economy/family, Seattle.

Re: The state of the economy/family, Seattle. 

The minute rates go up,
the stock market will crash, big time,
and a recession will ensue.

If rates stay near zero, decade-after-decade,
with microscopic risk premiums, like in Japan, 
then a "growing economy" will become a distant memory.
       ---
Things are different today;
traditional families no longer make sense.

Perhaps you have a kind, loving, dedicated wife
who'd do anything for you -- congratulations.

All that could change in a New York minute;
especially if she's financially independent,
and well educated.  Jeff Bezos knows.

If you have kids, you'll pay the price, big time;
and it'll be YOUR FAULT for having built your "house"
on the side of a shifting sand dune.

You're right, possibly because mom-and-pop landlords
are being killed off, and the Fed is pouring money
into zombie corporations like there's no tomorrow.

But "tomorrow" will come and, when it does,
banks are going to become landlords, big-time.

"Seattle.Curbed.COM", Sep 21 2018:

  [ in Seattle proper ] Median rent decreased 
  a full 4.5 percent within the city limits.
          ...
  ApartmentList found a 2.4 year-over-year 
  decrease [ within Seattle ]

"SeattleTimes.COM", July 29, 2019:

  Data from RealPage shows that the number of 
  newly occupied, or “absorbed,” rental units
  during the first half of 2018 was down 19% 
  from the same period in 2017.

  That echoes census data showing that, in 2018,

  moved here from within in the U.S.

"Owning"[*] a home only makes sense if you're 
tied to the ol' ball and chain.
[ *: in truth, the government owns everything ]

I (semi)retired early 1988, age 28, 
after my ex dumped me, taking the kids with her.

Since then, my expenses have been minimal.

I spend about 3 thousand $ per year,
mostly on the house I manage, in lieu of rent.

I've gone 30+ years without spending money on Doctors.

Food stamps ( EBT SNAP ), 194$/month, covers food.

This mouse costs 28$:

Seattle successfully lowered rents,
and housed some homeless people;
but, to do it, they severely lowered 
our quality-of-life, forcing us to put up 
with these nut cases, on the cheap.

Once they're done transforming Seattle into Detroit,
rent will be extremely cheap,
and everyone will have (crappy) housing.

Anarchists are "a dime a dozen" in these parts.

Governments don't always get it right;
only time will tell who was right, 
them or me.

When it's me, as it usually[*] is,
it verifies my model.  [ *: not always ]

In Tokyo, they have small earthquakes every day;

Seattle is nothing like that, not at all.

Since the start of 2018,
Seattle has implemented a slew of laws that have
successfully reduced rents in the area.

Once Seattle becomes Detroit,
"my" 1.125 million $ house will be worth 50 cents.

      Tall, blonde, blue-eyed Nordic women.

Michael Glasser (Snit) likes 
tall, blonde, blue-eyed Nordic women.

Glance at PornHub,
and you'll see that he's not alone.

Labeling these women "true socialists" is 
his attempt to seem less Hitleresque, less racist.

In his version of "reality",
darker-skinned people can't be -real- "socialists".

Reality has never been a friend of his.

I'm 60 years old, born into North Seattle.

I've seen it all, the good and the bad.
 
All my grandparents were born in Seattle.
My ancestors were the first white people

The only reason we've been able to take him to court,
lo these many months,
is because the charity did NOT pay all of his rent.

All the windows he broke ( big time ),
all the holes he created ( fighting ),
and the late fees, and the legal fees, 
have to be passed to a bill collector;
the judge doesn't want to know about it.

There is no cheaper place,
unless you count the homeless shelters,
where one stares at his diseased neighbor, 
3 feet away, all night long, 
before being forced out, at 7 am.

Seattle doesn't have natural disasters;
no hurricanes, no tornadoes, 
no (deadly) earthquakes.

The weather is mild and cloudy year-round,
like England, where my ancestors are from.

For that reason alone, I'm staying.

The Mafia picks up the slack, as always.

It's a knee-jerk reaction to rising rents,
and the gig economy.

I'm hoping the jerks will reverse course,
yet again -- they're NOT smarter than the market.

Rents went up 68% from 2010 to 2017.

Seattle must change course;

With your plan, I wouldn't have any tenants.

Besides, Seattle doesn't allow willy-nilly rent increases,
like that, far from it.

Seattle no longer allows that;

900$ deposit, 150$ move-in fee.

Year-long leases haven't dissuaded crappy tenants.

People no longer want to move into this house;
and I don't blame them, considering the latest laws.

So we've been forced to accept people who use
a charity to pay their move-in costs -- bad news.

Life was damn good, before they passed all these 
crazy "pro-tenant" laws; ironically, 
it's the tenants who suffer the most.

The "pro-worker", high minimum-wage laws
remove the lower rungs of the ladder.

(Government) Unions simply don't like the competition,
that's all, and Seattle simply refuses to take on 
the nut cases that I (now) have to deal with.

It can't go on like this; it just can't.

If only.

My tenants won't leave until the sheriff 
drags them out, kicking and screaming.

Some of them were jailed too 
( for priors, I assume ),
because they refused to leave.

In Seattle, we have to hold all of their crap,
every bit of it, for 30 days,
in case they want to retrieve some of it.

The north side of the University of Washington
is less than a block from me, at the end of the block.

I live in North East Seattle, between campus 
and Ravenna Park, West of the University Village,
East of "the Ave" -- prime real estate.

The 4-bedroom, 1½ bath, home I grew up in,
a few blocks north of me, sells for 1.125 million $.

If that's a slum, tell me about your place.

Only the Mafia can handle this situation,

He's been beat up several times 
( for sexually attacking women ).

It's like that "Get a Hold of Yourself" scene
from "Airplane! (1980)", where people are 
lined up to beat the woman.

He enjoys the attention, I think.

Eviction for bad behavior, and/or not paying 
for " damages and/or fees ", is nearly impossible.

At most, we can pass it off to a bill collector;
it doesn't come into play in eviction court.

A slew of new laws, like that,
have made our lives miserable recently.

I'm not allowed to know/consider a potential tenant's
criminal history, for example.

Like it or not, leases transition to month-to-month,
a.k.a. "Tenant In Perpetuity" ( seriously ).

  Imagine if you were chained to a lovely lady;
  sooner or later, you'd get sick of it.
  Hence, "no-fault" divorce.

  For similar reasons ( up until recently )
  either party could terminate a rental agreement.

      "Eviction Without Restriction" is a basic human right.

The eviction sheriff knows me well;
ditto for policemen and repairmen.

A young UW student tenant of mine
got pepper-sprayed when he asked 
a fellow tenant ( fresh from Ethiopia )
to turn his music down, Sunday night.

When I confronted him about it,
he pulled a knife on me.

The police are useless, in this case,
because " it's a civil matter ";
had I called them, 
they would've shown up 3 days later.

Also, he broke ( yet another ) window
3 days after I fixed it.

He buys and sells stolen goods;
he smokes crack and meth.

Drug dealers come and go constantly;
my room vibrates at 4 a.m., 
as if a dance bar were next door.

We've been trying to evict him for months;
he's extremely defiant.
 
Catholic charities pay his rent;
the city provides him with lawyers.
Meanwhile, better tenants moved out.

Once, one of his homeless friends
spit in the landlord's face.

The landlord called 911, 
reporting the attack;
they never showed up.

Imagine if you were chained to a lovely lady;
sooner or later, you'd get sick of it.
Hence, "no-fault" divorce.

      Windows Update never works for me.

Windows Update never works for me; when I try to use it,
it's ultra-miserable, with MULTIPLE SLOW, FAILING REBOOTS.

So I think it's best to never use it;
I turn off those services.

Downloading 1903, for example, works well enough for me;
it takes an hour or so to set up correctly afterwards,
but it's not too bad.

I have to rename the "Documents" folder back to "Sys",
as that's what I always call it.  Unless+Until I do that,
many programs can't find my settings.

I think I have to restore from my backups, at times.

Also, I have to re-take ownership of "DefaultMediaCost" -Manually-,
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkList\DefaultMediaCost]
Re-Merge-In my settings ( Jeff-Relf.Me/Win10.REG.TXT ),

Also, I have to re-format all of my File-Explorer folders,
so they look the way I want -- very annoying.

If NO ONE in the world understands him,
that's just further proof of how unique and special

The velocity of molecules is Gaussian/semi-random;
the temperature is merely the top of the bell curve,
it doesn't tell you what the other molecules are doing;
some are going much faster; others, much slower.

In a 0°F freezer, food dehydrates, ice sublimates;
it's called "freezer burn".

If you don't understand that, 
then you don't/won't understand entropy.

The Tragedy of the Commons.
Six squatters abusing someone's fridge.

The city does everything in his power
to make sure that "undesirables":

    1) Acquire a place to rent.
    2) Can't be evicted.

The city doesn't pay for this (above);
no, landlords/managers/tenants pay the price.

The poor are dying in the streets; unions have removed

Absolutely, they want it all for themselves;
they're experts at removing the lower rungs of the ladder,
to avoid competition.

Unions win and the poor die in the streets.

Because no one cares about the mentally ill.

and property managers.

cause consumer-price inflation.

It's just trillions of dollars
of moral hazard, that's all.

It's never been done before, 
to this extent.

      The Fed won't let the market go down.

Since 2008, the Fed has put 4.5 trillion $
worth of (bad) assets on its balance sheet,
over a trillion from Fannie-n-Freddie alone.

Basically, they won't let the market go down;
spreads between low and high credit quality
are so tight, you can't tell who's cheating.

Like they say, "You can't fight the Fed".

Which communist apparatchik came up with,
and funded, Uber and Air B&B ?!  

The unions are fighting back with California AB5,
but they're going to get sued to hell and back.

It'll be interesting to see how this plays out.

      If you need more socialism...

If you need more socseasialism, Mr. "iCZhh",
move to Venezuela, Argentina, or Cuba;

but bring dollars because the local 
currencies/governments are worthless.

If you need more capitalism, try Hong Kong, 
Los Angeles, San Francisco, or Seattle;

but bring a skilled trade, because 
your savings won't last long.

I'm talking about "scabs", gig workers,
not working a union job.

Gig jobs are outlawed, see:

  California AB5

Stop looking in the mirror, you're projecting again.

How are poor people supposed to take care of themselves
when unions won't let them compete ?!

Give them a piece of the pie,
and maybe they won't take so many drugs.

It was torn down because (government) unions 
can't take the competition.

Cheaper rent is a huge advantage;
I could use that to take "your" job.

"Killing the poor" is the government's byline.
