Tent Cities and COVID Vaccines Both Subsidized Profit Centers

Dr. Cartwright: [Referring to the South Derbyshire council] Virtually all the children can read and write, even though they’ve had a progressive education, oh yes and they have the smallest establishment of social workers in the U(nited)K(ingdom)

Minster James Hacker: And that’s supposed to be a good thing?

Dr. Cartwright: Oh yes, sign of efficiency, Parkenson’s Law of social work you see. It’s well known that social problems increase to occupy the total number of social workers available to deal with them

Yes Minister: The Skeleton in the Cupboard 1982

Today Don Surber noted something important about the various non-profits that service the homeless;

“The camps are managed by Urban Alchemy, the San Francisco-based nonprofit that has rapidly grown into a multimillion-dollar street services enterprise and embodies an elastic philosophy of shelter. Urban Alchemy calls them “safe sleep villages.”

So, the homeless get to live in bigger tents while Urban Alchemy gets another fat city grant. Taking care of the homeless is quite lucrative. Down in Paragraph 20, the LA Times story reported these tents cost $44,000.

44 grand per tent plus the city paying $3 mil for 24/7 food means that somebody is getting a whole lot of bucks which makes the homeless a profit center.

“But DaTechGuy,”, you ask, “Aren’t these are non-profits?”

A “Non-Profit” is a tax status, it doesn’t mean that the people working for them do not make a ton of bucks working for them.

Basically there is no profit for these non-profits which are getting giant grants to actually solve these problems because once these problems are solved there are no multi million dollar grants to pay the activists who are basically on the government dole on a grand scale with ego massaging virtue signaling titles.

It’s no different that the COVID vaccine racket.

You see the reason why Ivermectin had to be discredited publicly is that if you a treatment that can stop COVID for pennies a dose you can’t get an emergency rule with tens or hundreds of millions of dollars without liability through the government.

It’s not about solving a problem, it’s about getting well off or with luck even generational wealth.

That’s why thousands had to die from COVID vaccine side effects or from the disease and hundreds of thousands of mentally ill drug addicted homeless must continue to suffer, so that others might become rich.

They had better hope that they are right about the Christianity they have rejected, because I wouldn’t want to face St. Peter in this state without the mercy of Christ to fall back on.

Five Quick One Liner Reminders Under the Fedora: Wouda been Trump’s Last Year, The Slippery Porn Slope Continues, Contracting Niches, An Interesting View, and the Fire sale is on in Milwaukee

Just a reminder to the left that if they had treated Donald Trump as a normal pol right now they would be less than sixteen months away from not having to worry about him ever again.

We are just reaching the point where a lot of people, including women who grew up on porn now have families and all of the stuff I suggested to you might suddenly become normalized is out there with a lot worse to come.

People seem to be surprised that CNN & MSNBC continue to deny the Biden scandals, but I can’t see why after all when you have two stations fighting for an increasingly niche market you need to keep moving in that direction to keep it going.

In all the fuss about Drew Barrymore re-opening her talk show someone brought up an interesting point: Nobody on the left seems to object to The View continuing to pump out new episodes

Finally in my 1971 Dynasty league my team has collapse losing 14 of 15 series and the fire sale is on, Frank Howard, Phil Gagliano and Ray Lamb are already gone and Ken Sanders, Tommie Agee and even Ron Fairly may follow as I look for prospects and draft picks to rebuild, wish me luck.

Under the Fedora: New Rules, Old Rules, New Risks, No Risks and Walking Away

The left is shocked SHOCKED that the House should open up an impeachment inquiry without a house vote.

This is of course how Trump was treated.

Once again the left acts and is shocked SHOCKED that the tables are turned.

Of course given the polling for Biden it might be a welcome development to ease him out.

It appears parts of the Susanna Gibson story are being suppressed on twitter.

But not the endorsement of the former democrat governor and her membership in mom’s demand action has not been suppressed. Of course given her side business her membership in “Mom’s Demand Action” gets an entirely new meaning.

Perhaps like Bill Clinton the left can put her up for mother of the year.

Apparently the St. Louis Children’s hospital has decided that due to a new Missouri law the risk / reward business of puberty blockers or cross-sex hormones to minors has shifted to the point where they now decline to do such things.

I suspect that as laws change and lawsuits progress this type of decision will be more common.

Alas the gravy train might have ended but there are still plenty of kids whose lives have been ruined to keep psychologists in clover for decades

The risk reward ratio however has also shifted in DC and New York at least for kids and crimes.

The decision not to go after juvenile crime has had rather nasty consequences, both in DC and NY for the citizens, but not yet to the point where it’s has had political consequences for those who have decided to go soft.

They have other priorities, unexpectedly of course.

Finally Mitt Romney has announced he will not run for re-election to the US senate thus avoiding an embarrassing loss for his senate seat in the primary.

I’ve never forgotten that Romney inaction as MA gov was instrumental in killing a state vote on gay marriage when the Massachusetts SC by one vote began the slippery slope that got us where we are, however he was also quietly active in the Scott Brown campaign which really launched the Tea Party as a successful group.

His despicable enabling of the left’s attempts to destroy Trump has caused many to say they regret their vote for him in 2012. I don’t regret mine in the least, because the alternative was Barack Obama whose third term under Joe Biden has been even worse than his first two.

Back Home Under the Fedora, An Offer You Can’t Refuse?, I don’t Care Why He’s Defending the Constitution, It’s almost not Newsworthy Anymore, Seriously?, 9/11 Birthdays and Head Shaking

I’m back home from Pintastic NE 2023 the most relaxing time I’ve had in months and frankly the best Pintastic I’ve attended with one exception. I didn’t have a chance to interview Gabe at the end of the show because of time constraints, however I will be uploading and posting video daily till it’s all up. Meanwhile here is the new Godfather 50th Anniversary Pinball Machine.

The one on the left is the “cheap” one that sells for $12,500, the one on the right is the expensive version that sells for $15,000. You’ll hear more about that specific game later in the month.

There seems to be a lot of shock that Ted Lieu is objecting to the move by the governor of New Mexico to try to remove gun rights by fiat:

I’d like to give Mr. Lieu the benefit of the doubt that he actually understands that this is unconstitutional but I would not be surprised if this is more of a case of learning what Harry Reid did not, namely if your side changes the rules in one state then the other side can do the same elsewhere.

Frankly I’m less concerned if he’s doing this for selfish reasons, altruistic reasons or both as long as he’s with us in defending the constitution.

Apparently the president’s performance in Vietnam was yet another national embarrassment but frankly I’m wondering something.

For a long time Joe Biden making a fool or an ass out of himself was not newsworthy because the media didn’t want to promote or expose this fact which was a disgrace in terms of how journalism works.

I’m wondering however if we’ve actually reached a point where Joe Biden being non compos mentis is so common and so established that it’s no longer newsworthy if he acts that way, or that it will not be newsworthy until he carries himself like a normal person.

I’m sorry. I like Citizen Free Press and think it’s usually an excellent source but this a “fascinating read” Really?

Can someone tell me why anyone, particularly a conservative site is trusting a story from the NYT or Bill Kristol as a source as to what big money GOP donors are thinking concerning election 2023?

Finally today is 9/11 and as a child of Depression era parents and the son of a father who served in the Pacific in World War 2 I find myself more and more frustrated on this day.

I hate that we didn’t rebuild the towers twice as big.

I hate that we didn’t finish the job with Iran when we had armies to the east and west of Iran and a navy to the south.

I hate that we didn’t do in Iraq what we did in Germany and Japan, namely stay till they were no longer a threat even if it took half a century. If we weren’t going to do the job right why go in?

But all those things that I hate are a function of what the country and the culture has become helped on by enemies who figured out it’s cheaper and smarter to spend their money on pols and academics that you can buy and use for decades rather than weapons that can be destroyed or go obsolete.

All of these things were choices made by us as a nation, just as our decline has been a choice. That’s the worst part of it all.

On the bright side today is the birthday of one of my nephews that I’m closest to so while 9/11 is a day of infamy on the day and shame pondering our response nationally personally I’m glad to have this fine fellow in my family so happy birthday and many more.
