Mid-Week

Cool Stuff. 

The 100 Best Pens, As Tested by Strategist Editors Gels, ballpoints, rollerballs, felt-tips, and fountain pens — we tried them all. - I love a good pen.


War

They hate us for our Freedoms? Bowing to Saudi Pressure, Trump stops UN Yemen Ceasefire (-CNN)

Why?  Trump in the WP,...  
"Now, are we going to stay in that part of the world? One reason to is Israel. Oil is becoming less and less of a reason because we’re producing more oil now than we’ve ever produced. So, you know, all of a sudden it gets to a point where you don’t have to stay there."
"One reason to [stay in the middle east] is Israel"  He's right, Israel is one big reason we are fighting in the middle east but I don't think he's supposed to say that out loud.

Economy

IRL Ads Are Taking Scary Inspiration From Social Media - The billboards are watching you - Just another tool businesses will use to mine the wealth of the people.

Trump says he’ll cut GM’s subsidies. - Gosh, I remember when the R's didn't want the Government picking winners and losers. They demand government worship "Business and The Market" when the D's are in power and then demand that "businesses conform to the Governments wishes" when the R's are in power.

Farm Bankruptcies up
















Propaganda

Trump proposes a government-run TV news network to counter CNN. - Three thoughts.....

  • We had a decent government-run radio network in NPR but the R's tried to kill it off because they didn't like the message. 
  • Fox is the R run Government Network.
  • Pence tried to do this in Indiana but was stopped.


Medicare for All

FDA promised a ‘lower-cost option’ to EpiPen, but the price isn’t any lower
