I took a cursory look at what Yang’s proposed monthly $1,000 giveaway would look like. Yang isn’t going to get the nomination, but I guarantee there will be one of the 3 or 4 finalist proposing some program that mirrors what Yang has thought up. There are real winners and losers in this nifty little magic trick.

Lets look at the numbers. Lets say, for simplicity’s sake, that the total population of the United States is 1,000 people. The total annual cost would be $12,000,000 (1k monthly for 12 months times 1000 people). But we wouldn’t have a thousand folks paying for this program, we’d have 205. Here is how I got the 205 number:

Total Pop: 1000
Less those over 65 on Social Security (16% of the population) =160
Less children/kids (23 percent of total population less seniors) =193
Less those unemployed (5% of 1K less seniors and kids) =32
Less those that pay no tax (45% excluding those above) =410

Total Exempt 795
Total Payers 205

Now when you take the total cost ($12,000,000) divided by 205 payers you get an average cost per actual taxpayer of $58,594 a year in new taxes ($4,883 monthly).

The cost of Yang’s proposal? $3,924,000,000,000 annually.

So the real question becomes why would Yang propose such a ridiculous thing? Because the ‘winner to looser’ ratio is so great (795 to 205): Almost 4 to 1.

Now most people that pay taxes believe that this program would mean they would pay $1,000 more monthly and get $1,000 back. That guy sitting over in the corner with a wife and six kids is thinking he’s going to pay another $1,000 in taxes monthly and get $8,000 back. Now there is a whole shitload of folks that pay no taxes whatsoever thinking that they are going to get a free $1K monthly dropped into their account. That welfare queen with 4 little ones is looking at $5K monthly; there are thousands upon thousands of these folks.

I’m betting that as the field narrows one or more of the dem candidates will propose some variation of Yang’s folly. I’d bet that it will (to a large degree) be effective in garnering the votes of the gimmedats. Unfortunately, I also believe that this soft-selling of socialism is so attractive to our ignorant and un/mis-schooled masses that we won’t go slipping down the proverbial slope, we’ll be slamming the throttle to the firewall.

You may not believe in God, but you cannot look at what’s happening in America right now and deny the existence of evil. Is this how the end begins?

Whites claiming that whites have privilege not only prove themselves to be idiots, it sets them up as sheep to be slaughtered. Your enemy (yes you have enemies) knows you as a easy target. You tee yourself up so well, others cannot resist the urge to swing.

Because you’re not going to win this argument (regardless of which side you take) show a little backbone and self respect. Never apologize for who you are.

Yep, if the planes did it then we don’t have to crap all over our preferred victims group. If planes are capable of self determination, then those terrible Assault Weapons are as well…..that folks is how we shape the narrative. They are playing the long game, this crap will continue unless folk like Rita (and you and I) call them on it.

We now live in a nation where the rich and powerful are intent on destroying any chance for future generations to ‘secure the blessings of liberty’. In their minds-eye the masses are ignorant, unwashed, and incapable of self determination. They are pushing hard to turn America into a communist nation. This push follows two general lines of attack; defining the great benefits a socialist society would provide (as we see our democratic Presidential candidates doing), and the disparagement of capitalism by the press and their sycophants in the arts.

We are constantly bombarded with these messages, sometimes its obvious:
–Jesus was a socialist
–Capitalism is equivalent to slavery
Many other times it is sneaky and covert; a word here, a gentle twisting of a story, the coloring of an individuals success as a failure or harmful for the hive.

History is being rewritten in ways that are also both obvious and subtle. Consider the many monuments to the Confederate soldiers that have been ripped away. The public outcry that prompted their removal was the claim that they were emblematic of slavery. I’m sorry to inform that they were actually a tribute to brave men that believed in, and fought for, self determination. Not only have the great deeds of these men been condemned, the very act of seeking self determination is now associated with the baser instincts of man and worthy of condemnation as well.

It’s a dangerous time. We absolutely cannot trust the press, the communications infrastructure, our political ‘leaders’, or our institutions to promulgate the American Dream. Once that dream is destroyed and tossed into the ash-heap of history, where then will freedom exist anywhere on earth?

It would sure suck if the ‘rules’ the left seek to levy on Americans for exercising their constitutional right were applied to activities they hold close to their heart. Let’s take a look at how that might work.

Everyone just needs to calm down, no one is coming for your abortions.  We just want common sense abortion control.  I think we can all agree that those that want one should undergo:

–Mandatory background checks
–Mental health evaluations
–A $250 tax stamp
— A 1 year waiting period

Simple and non-intrusive legislation will make us all safer.  To that end we will:

–Outlaw assault abortions after the first trimester
–Limit the number of abortions any person will have (no one needs more than one)

I very rarely, if ever, criticize the writing of others. This avoidance comes from my own shortcomings; I suck at writing. Despite graduating high-school at 17 I had to repeat Junior English in my senior year. While I 4.0’ed my undergraduate degree I had to take English Composition 3 times (‘withdrawing passing’ twice) before I could get it right. I languish over every comma and often read through what I’ve put down several times to determine if makes sense. This may be why I have so many meme’s on my site, they are like shorthand for my thoughts.

With that said, there is no way I could let what I saw on Yahoo yesterday pass without comment. The author’s English may be correct (I really, really am not the one who could fairly judge) but their understanding of what words mean, how the sciences inform us of earths history, and their ability to comprehend the import of what is said is sorely lacking. All of this points to a US educational system that not only fails the author, but fails all of us as well: we have to live with all of these ignorant folk stumbling around breathing our air.

The article is so poorly written it’s entertaining. Read through and see if any of this makes any sense to you. Originally posted by Yahoo here.

A new study with a Canadian connection reveals that all human life on earth was obliterated two billion years ago.

Researchers came to this conclusion after testing barite, a mineral found in Belcher Islands, in the southeast part of Hudson Bay, which is part of Nunavut.

The rocks were helpful for researchers as they “lock in chemical signatures” needed to understand what the atmosphere was like when they first formed, co-lead author and Stanford University Ph.D. candidate Malcolm Hodgskiss told CNN.

Ultimately the study determined that there is such a thing as too much oxygen, by examining the circumstances surrounding the “Great Oxidation Event.”

Billions of years ago, long before dinosaurs, the only creatures that were able to survive on Earth were micro-organisms. When they photosynthesized, they changed the chemical composition of the air, leading to a surplus of oxygen that couldn’t be sustained.

The Earth’s atmosphere was ultimately sent askew, as the micro-organisms drained all the nutrients they needed in order to create oxygen. In turn, the biosphere – also known as life on Earth – experienced an “enormous drop,” and scientists only recently began to understand just how enormous it was.

According to their findings, anywhere between 80 to 99.5 per cent of organisms at the time were abolished, since there were too many of them creating too much oxygen.

“Even our most conservative estimates would exceed estimates for the amount of life that died off during the extinction of the dinosaurs approximately 65 million years ago,” Hodgskiss told CNN.

Since the planet is still vulnerable to atmospheric changes, these ancient findings are pertinent to the current day. Warming oceans affect nutrient levels and runoff in oceans interferes with underwater ecosystems. This in turn threatens photosynthesizing organisms that supply more than half of the oxygen in the planet’s atmosphere.

How do you know if you have a mental illness? Having your heart do weird shit when you see a red cap is probably a pretty good sign.

The deep state globalist plan was to destroy Trump and ruin anyone close to him. They couldn’t have conceived that Trump would survive everything they’ve thrown at him. He’s only starting to growl, just wait until he starts taking bites. Payback is coming, & it will be legendary. I for one can’t wait to see the fallout.
