Not just the DOGE thing, but implications and accusations I have been hearing.   One of the biggest accusations is “We are suddenly going to have a million out of work peeps on our hands”

“Welcome to the Private Sector!” is my response.

Seriously, I have never been given a promise that work would be a given, EVER.    There have been jobs I had where I left on Friday fully employeed; came back on Monday with security standing next to a box with all my stuff in it (right next to a dozen or more boxes from the other employees desks.)   The entire section was laid off over the weekend and no clue it was coming. 

Its sucks, YES, but that is the risk of working for others.   AND GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE NO EXCEPTION.     I have heard some of the rules that the Unions have made with Zero Termination Clauses and such, and my mind boggles.   (thats not just government employees, but is typical of such.)    I have never held a job I can’t be fired from, and Meritocracy was the order of the day in them all.   If you can’t do the job, or worse, can’t show up for it, you were no longer employed, period, dot slash end discussion.   And there was no safety net of unemployment insurance since if you couldn’t manage to get to work, then your termination was ‘justified’.

DOGE (Musk and crew) have stated that they would be offering substantial seperation packages in the upcoming fun.     Better to lose a little on the seperation than much more over decades of useless make work type bullshit with 5 weeks PTO a year, plus 2 weeks Sick leave, among the many other bene’s.

Welcome to the Private Sector.   I kinda doubt you are going to find any work mirroring your last position, so you may wanna bone up on those things called “skills”.

But the real thing I am hoping for,,, I want to see the States doing similar actions.   I want to see a culling of the useless eaters that suck up “WorkFare”, bleeding away tax revenues for ‘showing up’.

Maybe if this little experiment shows substantial reduction of the size of Government and in conjunction, GOVERNMENT SPENDING, than maybe there are some Governors that would implement the same at the State level.  Probably not Califruitopia,,,, (sorry BOM)

Shrinking the scope of the Agencies and Bureaus should be the key goal here.   I just can’t fathom the sheer number of redundant agencies out there.   ITs micro-management at its worst.  Micro-managed businesses FAIL, and the only thing that has been propping this one up is tax revenues and fake money.  

Cut the Fat,  trim it down to the basics.  Encourage people to take back some of their power (like security at airports) and do away with hated agencies that do nothing (TSA: 400+ employees arrested for a myriad of charges, ZERO terrorists caught in its 23 years existence.  And it hampers travel business.)

BUT THE BIGGEST THING THAT NEEDS REMOVED*

Some of those Omnibus bills that keep getting re-upped on their Sunset dates.  Like the PATRIOT ACT.   That damned thing does nothing GOOD for this country and only increases the size and scope and power of the PROBLEM.    Get the Government out of the Insurance business is another aspect.   

Sure, if these things happen, its gonna be rough and tumble for a few years as the disturbance spreads out.   But after the initial wave front, the waters will calm down and the markets will find working solutions, DECENTRALIZED SOLUTIONS, LOCAL SOLUTIONS that fit what the communities need, not some mandated ‘one size fits all’ regulation that makes life difficult and can be corrupted with ease.

Tighten that belt, things are going to get WYRD for awhile, but I think, and I hope it happens fast enough, when the turmoil has settled down, the end result will be more like it was when I was a kid, ONLY BETTER.    People being people, not screaming toddlers afraid of their own shadows.

*maybe the biggest thing needed removed is the Department of Education.   That is a failed experiment to the Nth degree.   And yet we continue to throw more and more money down that hole to improve it.     Cut the beast loose, let the local communities decide standards, and deregulate teaching certification.    We already have the laws on the books to handle bad actors (pedophiles, which the Zero Termination Clauses protect) and let meritocracy come back into play.  If you can teach, TEACH; if you can only babysit, go home.    Sure, there will be some bad actors that slip through the cracks, and some children will fall prey to them, but over the long run, those will go the wayside as the laws are engaged and acted on.  The price to pay will be to high for that sort so they will look elsewhere.      ON an aside to that, I think we need to bring back one standard that was common place through to the 1900’s, and still is with us in name only.    Elementary schools, High(er) schools, then College and Graduate schools.     Elementary through the 8th grade.   75% of the populace only needs that, and can do wonderous things with it, (Edison was only an 8th grade graduate.)  Let the kids start working earlier than we currently have been.   The High Schools should handle those that show promise, and from there, they can matriculate into the colleges and graduate schools as ability is shown.    Not everyone needs Formal “Liberal” education.  Liberal being the ORIGINAL Defintion of higher education, meaning ‘broadly applied’ but was stolen by leftoids and twisted in meaning.  IN a nutshell: bring back the Trivium and Quadrivium education cycles and let this failed ‘everyone gets the same education and equal outcomes’ Shitte go to hell in a handbasket.   Kill the subsidized higher education programs and let them compete as they used to.  Prices will fall accordingly.    And amazingly, Standards will rise.  

Truck, or van, or sumpin,,,,

The uses I put Buffalo to, she’s a bit crowded up inside (and out).

OR, maybe I just need to get a different “Work Truck” and only use it through the week.   Buff could carry boats and camp gear and always be ready to roll (and not get so many miles on her)

Or I need to downsize some,,,,  

NAW!!!!   I like my tools(toys), and I especially like being CAPABLE and those tools definitely put me on that list.   I still get things done without them, but Jury-rigged repairs are bandaids waiting to fail.  

(funny story: one of the guys at the J.O.B. thought that was an actual college ‘shield’ and wanted to know what school I went to.  LOL    I told him Hard Knock Community college and Life lesson University with my Masters from LOW-Tech,,,   It took him a minute to catch on, then he did a double take and actually READ the shield.    )

Long story short, Had to replace a Sawzall this week; more debt on the card, but would rather it be at the prices I am seeing than whats to come, and to have and not need, than need and not have.   The old Sawzall burned it’s brushes out while doing a job (and why I prefer the modern brushless types) full blown ‘let the magic smoke out’ moment.   Was still running, but there was noticable drop in power.   Added another impact driver (old one is seven years old and getting flaky.) and a portable 2 gal wet/dry vac to the mix as well.   Can’t say how many times one of those has pulled miracles for me (pulling feeder string through conduit for electric runs,,, clean up to keep a client sedate,,,,) Well worth having on hand.    Not too hateful: only added 3 Benjamins to my debt, and that won’t take long to knock back down.   Even so, the prices on the ‘deals’ had gone up $20 since last week alone.   Everyone is slowing raising prices BEFORE Black Friday so they can say they reduced prices for Black Friday.   HA!    See it every year.   AND I will never shop on BF, period.   I’ve seen the ugly side of humanity on that day and I steer well clear of that.    I’ll take the higher prices before or after over the potential loss of freedom I would have to endure if confronted with ‘Stoopid’,,,,

Did I mention that Buff is getting crowded?      Yah,,, A crew cab truck that can only carry one passenger,,,   that backseat is LOADED, Half tools, half camp/kayak gear.   The bed has a full width box on it that carries more tools, and then you have the kayak rack on roof and truck bed: that ALWAYS has a kayak on board. 

Anywonder I don’t get great MPG?  LOL.   (actually, she doesn’t do half bad for a block with 320K on the odo.  Just do regular oil changes and she holds her own.   I know when the MPG starts to drop, its time for an oil change.)

No boatin’ today.   Decided there were too many things needed done here to fart around with luggin’ Lyssa up and down hills to water.    With the weather being topsy-turvy up-down mercury scales, and wet/cold; my kayakin’ is gonna be a little more hit/miss right now.   I try to make up for the lost days by using the Ergometer, (which needs new ropes this year,,, looking bad frayed.) even though its not the same, its close enough.  And I don’t have to don mad levels of protective clothing to use the Erg,,,  Drysuits and wetsuits are something of a pain in the butt,,,,(which also gets weighed in when going boatin’.)

There are TWO days that are written in stone for kayaking during winter.    Solstice and New Years day.   Solstice because I can, New Years as my promise to the upcoming year and a chance to G&C for it.   And one of these years, I am going to be hit the ‘lottery’ and get to paddle during snow,,,  (krazy? mehbe 😛  )

Not a prefered situation, but a goal I wish for so I can say “Done it!”,,,,

The shadows are getting longer, and there are still things need attended to, and this post is a ramblin’ mess anyways,,,,

Kinda sorta did an experiment this past week.    I went back to my old diet for 7 days.   Mostly due to ‘budget cuts’ with small paychecks and the fact that the bills don’t shrink unless you pay them (over pay them and NOT use the damned cards,,,,)

Had been doing the Paleo thing,,, lots of meat, few carbs (and my biggest issue with the carbs is ‘pop’, or Soda if you are westycoasty,,,   Getting better about it though.)

One week.

One STINKING seven day period.  

It started up tuesday evening, and at first I was thinking ‘just a rough day at work’,,,

The pains were creeping in.   My arthritic joints were starting to flair, and back pains were creeping down into my hip joints,,,   This was the NORM late last year when I decided I needed to do something, and then read that Jordan Peterson (inspired by his daughter) went all meat diet; lost wieght and lost pains, (that last being the selling point to me.)

Keep to the experiment,,,,    Went ahead tuesday night with the ‘new/old’ diet,   heavy on carbs (pasta) partial meat line up but some veggie stuffs too (not my olives that have become a staple.)

I could barely move yesterday I hurt so damned bad.  I needed a couple of Excedrin with my morning coffee to get going.   Felt like I had pulled my groin the pain the hips was so bad, as well as being near crippled with back pain.  

FUCK THIS!!!    Went back to an all meat diet, low on the carbs (as low as I can go without full cold turkey on cocacola,,, my weakness,,,) High protein, few starches, if any.  

and while today, I still hurt, its not the crippling, knock me to the floor pains that I was getting on Tuesday.   I can stand upright without twinges in the spine.

Oh, And my BP had been spiking too: I felt lightheaded Tuesday eve, and checked: 139/98 RESTING,,,,    Yeah, no wonder I was feeling light headed.     Tonight, after a meal of Ribeye, slab of cheese and green and black olives,,,, 118/70,,,,  this right after eating when BP goes up a touch for digestive purposes.

Modern foods are killing us,,,   The Government outline of ‘healthy foods’ is a marketers ploy NOT BASED IN FACTS (and that has been proven)   The obesity problem is NOT in how we eat, but WHAT we eat.    I recall my grandmothers breakfast tables from when I was a wee sprout: loaded to the gills and nowhere to sit.  Grab a plate and find a spot somewhere in the house, seconds and thirds encouraged (eat up or the hogs get the slop,,,,)   And not one fat person in the house!!!   Granted all of the men were workhorses with hard labor jobs, and they needed that store of energy to get to the next meal, but none of them were like the blobs I see in the grocery stores, or wallyworld, these days.   Land whales is what I ‘affectionately’ call them.  And the most offensive to me are the kids: under 18 and showing ROLLS of fat and signs of disease that are common among the overwieght.  Things like asthma, skin issues, BODY ODORS,,,

So I am back on the Paleo diet, not because I can afford it, but because I CAN’T AFFORD NOT TO.   I’d rather be a little more broke than teetering on heart failure (which I am genetically inclined towards)   Ain’t afraid of dyin’, just have no desire to go there just yet,,,,Especially when I can make a choice to hold that at bay ‘just a little longer’.

Watch your health, watch what you eat and how your body reacts to it.   My diet may not work for you, your’s likely doesn’t work for me.  One week is long enough to find out if something is working or not; two will show a decided difference.   Your body processes REAL FOOD so much faster and easier than some of the junk for sale out there.   And that includes fastfood places,,,   There are some that have decent food, but most are right there with GMO crap that your body has no clue how to process well.  (and that includes the beef that is fed with GMO corn,,,,   If my Kat won’t touch the stuff, its probably a bad idea for me as well.)

Ok, stepping off my box,,,

UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE

I was worried earlier this week about RFKjr being shafted.     That Fear has been laid to rest. Sic’em Robert!!!

INFLATION

Francis does his cover of it here

And I have done so in meatspace on more than a few occasions.   My favorite is using the 1911 as the value guide.

At one time, (and still, but the cost has changed significantly) the USG produced $20 gold coin; one troy ounce of gold with a face value of $20.   For obvious reasons, and maybe not to the uninformed, that $20 gold peice is gonna run you well over $2000 in todays Reserve notes.

Its not that the value of the coin has changed, but the value of the NOTES used.    Thats inflation.   They INFLATE the ‘money’ supply and what remains is worthless paper (in truth, it reverts to its’ intrinsic value.). 

And there was a DuckTales comicbook about what happens when you increase the supply versus the available goods for purchase.    I wish I could find that again, since it explained INFLATION so neatly that even a 6 year old could understand how inflation is subtle theft hidden behind careful wording.   sigh,,, so much lost in the foggy past, even with our tech today, finding snippets like that is trying to find a needle in a hayfield.

I don’t know what the plans are, IF ANY other than ‘tarrifs’, to bring that supply back in line with reality.   The National Debt is so far off the hook, it can never be paid back, and I don’t think the government has any intentions of even trying.   The Banks on the other hand,,,,    Try and play that game as an individual and see how rapidly you end up in trouble.     Maybe doing away with Debtors prison wasn’t such a hot idea,,,   (not that we could toss the poli-tickians into it for creating this mess,,,)  

EVEN SO, shrinking the size and scope of the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT is not a bad thing.   Doing so will cut back a lot of the problems with overbudget spending by simply reducing the size of the bill.   Serious cuts are needed, and not just in the spending on welfare and the like, but in salaried positions that don’t actually do a damned thing but hold the people down, crippling innovation and drive.  (if you know before you start a business, that you will need to beg permission and jump through hoop after hoop after hoop in regulations and Permits, there is a strong chance you won’t bother.)   Like Elon talking about the Sharks,,,,

“Am I in a bad comedy skit?” 

We all are, and we are the butt of the joke.   And the Comedians are the bankers IMO.

================================

Rained out, again.    Seasonal work sucks on that note.   Rolling into holiday seasons and the pay gets cut by weather.   sigh,,,,,      Well, not weather alone.   right now people are playing close to the bone financially, and that cuts into everyone’s payroll to some extent.  Our business also has the weather factor added in so this time of year means tighter paychecks and snug that belt tighter to get through.   

No matter what happens over the next few months, with Trumpeds efforts to curtail a man-made disaster in finances, things are gonna get tight(er) for everyone.    ANY benefit that may come about is going to be in the future, not an immediate return.   The biggest thing that he could do is deregulate energy production: that would lower the costs on everything across the board, and while not a complete solution, would be a start.

And kill the department of education.   KILL IT.     I wouldn’t mind working one day a week FOR FREE MIND YOU, to teach kids about the economy, REAL money, and a lot of the other things that ARE NOT TAUGHT.    Knowledge is the ultimate currency, information is a commodity (and it shows in our current economic state.) and if you have neither, you are a destitute peon.    (and lord, how I wish I could get more people to learn how to ENJOY reading,,,   Not just for the enjoyment, but the fact that readers tend to be better, more rounded THINKERS,,,,)

rambling,,,, icky weather,,,  BORED KATS, so my focus keeps getting hit broadside by two Tomkats playing,,,,  one of which weighs 14#

First off, I’m worried.  Pessimist I am, always have been, probably always will be.  I try for optimism, but more often, my pessimist side gets justified.

Why am I worried?   Its been one week since the news broke that “Trumped won!!!” and what I am seeing is a shit load of a complacency building.   People feel like “they got this, we can relax now”

NO, no you can’t.    This war is not over by a long shot.   Ya want proof? Go give QueMalas concession speech a re-listen.   Or, if you didn’t listen the first time (and I can understand your hesitency to do so)  go give it a listen NOW.     That was no concession speech, that was a call to arms of those that are still in that mindset.  And if the numbers are correct, there are 67 million of them.   Thats no drop in the bucket if you consider them an ingredient in the “Trouble” recipe. 

We don’t have this.   And I don’t expect Trumped to be able to pull of 1/4 of his promises.   IF he is able to get that 1/4, its a huge step forward, but its not the end of the road and there are four years between now and the next Selection cycle for Bathwater Barry and crew to regroup.    Do not expect the next run of Demoncrap wins to be as sedated as “Biden-nomics”…   

And there are still legacy drippings from before Bathwater Barry.   The REAL ID Act horseshit is coming to harvest in May,,,    That shit is carry over from the SHRUB,,,   No Real ID, no plane flights for you, can’t go to the military base for ANYTHING, and certain Federal Buildings are off limits to you.   IT literally creates a second class citizen out of a large portion of the US, and if you think those restrictions are the last of that line,,,,

If so, you really need to go back to history classes for a refresher.    Remember, Income tax is “voluntary” and won’t grow past 3%,,,,   

My perception has always been “If it has government in the mix, corruption and abuse are right behind and coming up fast.”    That thinking is why I have qualms with Trumped wanting to cap Credit card debt at 10% while we still have this thing called the Federal Reserve in existence.   

While I am seeing some good people put in place to do some serious turn around in high places, I have also seen some that made me do a double take (called, RESEARCH THAT ASSHAT,,,)

The real problem is TRUMPED.   Its not that he is a tyrant wannabe, its that he is gullible when it comes to people and expects that everyone else is just as patriotic as himself.   Its what got him in dire straights the first time around as he surrounded himself with bad actors/deepstate stooges who only wanted to stymie any advances he was making.  

And yes, he made some bad decisions as well that had nothing to do with personell: Bumpstock ban for one.   Operation Warp Speed as another.    Even with that last, he did try to keep the Fed Gov out the mix by letting the States decide on the lockdown things: As IT SHOULD BE.     And I do know part of his decision was based on what he was being told by ‘experts’ under him.    That those experts are now richer for all the graft and corruption that took place with the lockdowns wasn’t because of Trumpeds decision alone, but because they were fuckin’ lying to the boss, KNOWING that they were gonna skim the system for all they could get.    Seriously, the whole thing needs investigated with a flea comb and any that showed profit from the deaths and the tyrannical efforts to shutter a country, Need to be prosecuted for crimes against humanity and any other law on the books that were broken.    Prosecute and let the chips fall as they may.   AND LET THE PUBLIC KNOW WHO THEY ARE,,,,    I am betting that the court of public opinion will be MUCH harsher than the Federal courts system is currently.

One good thing I am seeing is the happenings over at CNN.    Personally, I wouldn’t mind hearing Musk bought the whole thing for $.15 on the Dollar.   If he could turn it around like he turned around Twitter,,,,,   (and I have some ideas of how that turnaround would look, but I ain’t Musk ,,,,   )

Another good thing I saw was that Mitch McTurtleboy is retiring.    THAT is bring about a HUGE sigh of relief here in the KY.    I have seen “Ditch Mitch” stickers the entire 16 years I have lived here, and yet, he still sits in DC,,,   Him, Peelouzy, Screw-em-mer, some others,,, they all need to take the hint and get while the getting is good.  ALL OF THEM.    ,,,,,,

,,,,,,,,,

,,,,,,,,,

One other thing I HAVEN’T heard from Team Trump,,,,  This one is leaving me a bit peeved.    What the F! are they gonna do with the Epstein Lists?     I, personally, want those names made public knowledge and let the people decide how to handle them.    BUT, nary a peep from Team Trumped on that little tidbit just stewing in FBI custody.   Like Hunters Laptop, stewing, hidden away,,,,    Let all the information hit the public information highways and I think the Swamp will self-jettison to calmer climes.

this shit ain’t over, its the end of the beginning, and now its time for the next chapter, but we have to hold Trumped and his crews’ feet to the fire.   Make them stick to the plan, and if someone is slacking, make sure that person is held to task or removed/replaced.    That includes Trumped himself. 

(personally, If I were in Trumps shoes, I would have a stack of pinkslips that would need a pallet to move, ready to hand out on Jan 21st.   Fire the whole damned lot of ’em and figure it out along the way.    FBI, CIA, BATFE, IRS, DoE EPA CDC,,,,,,,,   All of ’em.    I know that ain’t gonna happen that way, and I do know it would get stonewalled fast, but the effort would feel so GRAND,,,, 

————————————————————-

Seasonal slowdown.   Son o Bossman has been giving extra effort to give us stuff to do so we get our hours in.   Highly appreciated, and I hope now that the selection is over, and those that were holding their cards close to the chest in hopes of a Red Wave, will now lighten up on the purse strings and start getting some work done.    Will see.

But there are a couple off points about things Trumped is up to that have me feeling a bit queasy,,,

The biggest one is his “Tarrifs” plan.    History shows time and again, Tarrifs do not work.   Much like Communism does not work.   Fact: Tarrifs were a big part of why the first CW happened.   Look to the tarrifs levied against the Cotton markets (and who really produced the most cotton,,,,) and you will see one aspect of Tarrifs in action.  

The other side of tarrifs is much like taxes: the seller doesn’t actually pay the bill.   The buyer does.   So more tarrifs means higher prices and that means those that are already hurting from Biden-nomics are going to feel a further pinch.   

Free markets are the way to go.  You wanna get more revenue AND eliminate the Income Tax (which I am all for!!!) then make a flat rate sales tax, or if you can’t get rid of the income tax thing, make it a flat percentage across the board, and eliminate the regulatory morass off bullshit they call ‘The Tax Code’.   No filing needed at the end of the year, no loopholes, no special status filing, no credit system or ‘refunds’; just a simple deduction and nuff said.   The savings by eliminating an entire agency that has a lower respect rating than a used car salesman would more than make up for any loss of revenue.

ON that note, look at what the BRICS are doing,,,, That may not be true free market, but it sure as hell beats the pants off what we have in mind.    LET THE MARKETS DECIDE, while protecting our interests here at home.  You want to bring manufacturing back, DUMP THE REGULATORY BULLSHIT AND THE ONEROUS TAXES and the manufacturuing will return.   Being a businessman, I would expect Trumped to understand this.   I am certain Elon does,  

Remember the rule of thumb.  You want more of something, you subsidize it, if you want less, TAX IT.    Subsidies can be removing restrictions, just as much as pouring money into things.

Something else that I caught.   Capping Interest rates on Credit cards.    Oh fuck, did that tweak a nerve for me.     That echoes right alongside Que-malas “Price Controls” Marxist pile of dog-doo.    Yeah, people are hurting.  Yeah, many credit companies are charging ursurous rates.   

THATS NOT THE PROBLEM. (well, the ursury is, but no one held a gun to your head to accept that rate; it was a choice if you wanted that credit option.   I know, because I have two cards that have a nearly 30%rate on them, and I have excellent credit.   I took them because I was building that credit rating: it was a ‘bite the bullet to accelerate the process’ choice.   I try like hell to not carry a balance on them.     But I digresss,,,,) Nope, The real problem is deeper than that.   Mostly lack of education in finances: Too many have no real understanding what “money” is, and ISN’T.    Second off, many take those cards with ungodly interest rates because they live beyond their means.   This is the big killer IMO.   Live beyond your means and unlike the FedGov that can borrow at whim, EVENTUALLY you are gonna have to pay it back, and those interest rates stack up FAST.    Francis has some good points on Government Borrowing (and follow the link for an real educational moment.

There is also a human nature aspect to all the spending.   Many people (and I am guilty on occasion) spend beyond their means ‘to feel better about themselves’: we are a materialistic society, we even have a term for it “keeping up with the Joneses”.  Signs of this are all around: you need only look at the plethora of Rental storage places.   Learning to let go of all the bells and whistles and keeping only the essentials does wonders for keeping you within your means.   When I built my house, I intentionally made it small.   A small house gets cluttered very quickly if you start buying every gizmo and thing-a-ma-jig: it focuses me with “do I REALLY need this?” and often, far more often, the answer is ‘Nope!’  (side note, my weakness is, you guessed it: KAYAKS,,,, (and books)   and my biggest clutter in my house is kayak-y gear and camping gear.   Tools aren’t clutter, they reside in the truck or the shed (except the ones I am using around the house at such and such time. But Kayaks and Camp gear,,,,   yeah, I’m a sucker,,,,)

It’s still early in this four year run, and the Man is doing things in a big way faster than anyone ever expected.   And he hasn’t even sworn in yet.    I only hope his Security is Hopped up and in overdrive. 

BUT,,,,I would like for President Trump to invite a few members from the Mises Institute in for a brief run down on why his policy proposals are gonna backfire and bite him (and US) in the ass.   I think his stance would 180 quite quickly.
