Today’s solution 5-9-25

jamie

A lot of government grants go to businesses that make a profit. Some, profit directly from grants that enable those profits, and aside from any corporate taxes, those profits go back to the shareholders of the company or university doing the research. The taxpayer gets nothing. Zero. And we’re talking about billions of dollars in government grants and contracts.

If the research was done using government funds, the people should benefit. Whether it’s universities or big-pharma. Space exploration, internet app, or satellite communications. If taxpayers kicked in to help you create it, we deserve our share of the pie.

Profits from any research funded by the government should be distributed directly back to the people whose taxes paid for it.

If government funds were 50% of total funding, the people should get 50% of the profits. Apply this to drug research. Space exploration or energy research. Or ANY grant recipient.

How do the people get paid back? Profits get put into a budget that MUST be used for direct public assistance. A monthly paycheck paid directly to every citizen, prioritized inversely by income level.

When there are no more poor people, the rich get a bigger share of the funds. When everyone is wealthy, the rich get 100% of the benefits. When everyone wins, we all win.

Look, ‘Trickle-Down’ is a lie. We know that. When the poor have more, they spend more, and the rich will make more profits selling it to them. Everyone wins.

Starving people by continual, planned inflation without corresponding wage growth, in order to make an extra 2% profit per year is pure stupid. Don’t even get me started with gouging and price fixing. The wealthy have many tricks to transfer wealth from YOU to THEM. It’s evil. People suffer and die because of their bottom line.

In the end, no one can afford to buy anything, and no one wins but a few overpaid fat cat profiteers, hiding behind the faceless corporations that run our lives. The middle class disappears, and just about everyone feels like they are struggling.

Sound familiar?

STFU – An American Prayer

jamie

This goes out to all the Faux-christian nationalists in charge, and the immoral idiots who voted for them.

Lyrics below. Thanks for sharing if you enjoy it!

You took a big step over the line
Laughing as you turned your back
People needing help, you walk away
Especially if they’re poor,
brown or black
You gonna push us too far
Being cruel as fuck
Karma’s got your number
Gonna call your bluff
She gonna bend you over
Make you shut the fuck up

Shut the fuck up
How’d you get so dumb?
If I was that stupid
I’d bite off my tongue
I laugh my ass off when you talk
About God being on your side
Shut the fuck up
You’re a goddamn fool
You ain’t just stupid
You’re a fucking tool
Jesus thinks you’re a piece of shit
I know you know that He’s right.

(Additional verse, not in video)

In times like these we gotta take a stand
Stand up for the ones who can’t
People needing help gotta lend a hand
Try and make things better
Any way we can
You’re gonna push us too far
Being cruel as fuck
Karma gonna get hit you
Like a semi truck
She gonna run you over
Make you shut the fuck up.

The News is Dead…

jamie

Long live the Weather Channel.

America’s Most Trusted News Channel: The Weather Channel

This just in… journalism is officially dead. Long live network propaganda. The only news you need is the weather.

Now shut up and get back to work making money for your corporate overlords. Or else.

America is Coming Out

jamie

At least now the United States will have a President who accurately represents the American Republic. Trump is not a symptom of American decline, but the result of it. A criminal. Mobster. Abuser of rights. Plunderer of resources.

He personifies all the worst things America does. No filter.

America has been an imperial power since WWII. Buying or taking whatever we want. Under cover story of stopping communism, we’ve invaded Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, and more. If we can’t win using economic warfare, like tariffs and corporate invasions, we send in the marines.

All of it “to protect vital interests”.
Like big oil and gas profits, and ensuring infinite future profits for the weapons industry.

Sold to the highest bidder. Everything is for sale. Except for peace. We sell weapons to both sides to ensure that unrest continues in the world, because a world without warfare is much harder to exploit for profit and power.

All the unrest and violence in the world also enables a nearly $1T per year military budget, further ensuring the profits and stabilty of weapon manufacturers…and their ever growing stock prices (=huge profits for the rich and shameless).

But good news…we’ve finally come out as a country. Now, our president will be a mob boss. No more hiding, pretending to do good.

Hey world: It’s who we really are. The Home of Monopolies and Organized Crime, The Land of the Deceived.

All that “protect the peace” and “promote democracy” BS is just the cover story. Again and again we make the rest of the world “an offer they can’t refuse”. Our words are backed by aircraft carriers, stealth bombers and nukes. Who’s gonna argue? Who’s gonna be the first next to get fed up, and decide to fight back?

I guess we’re gonna find out. And soon.

Time to Rock and Roll, bitches.

jamie

Unalienable

We’ve grown complacent and blase
Mainstream music, homogenized, bland
Time to teach them the meaning
Of Punk. Rock and Roll. Again.
Time to hammer the hounds of repression
Demand Freedom. Liberty for ALL.
Demand Equality. Justice and peace.
Nothing less is acceptable.
Nothing more is necessary.
Unalienable. Undeniable.

We did it in the 60s-70s. Well, I didnt. But I watched them do it. They did it without the Internet or anything. The elite fear us, so they censor our communication and divide us with propaganda.

Music will unite us again, and they won’t be able to stop it. They won’t be able to stop us, because the universal truths are on our side. All are created equal. We have Unalienable Rights, as HUMAN BEINGS.

Unalienable means the rights cannot be given or taken away, and these rich motherfuckers will NOT deny us.

Time to stand up.

Twas the Weekend Before Christmas

jamie

Twas the weekend before Christmas
We were broke as could be
We were freezing our asses
By the fire and TV
When what did our half-frozen
eyeballs then spy
Was a snowstorm to bury
All our firewood in ice
It got colder and colder
We shivered and shook
As the wind howled and sliced
Out the window we looked
More snow was falling
I can’t wait till it melts
The basement gets flooded
mud up to our belts
May your Christmas be white
May your driveway stay plowed
May we all make it through
All this hate, fear and doubt.
May the season bring joy
May you somehow find peace
In the dark years ahead
Love and light will not cease.

Welcome to the Idiocracy

jamie

Alas, our government is soon to be under control of a South African Nazi billionaire and his cronies, who paid to have their idiot criminal Manchurian candidate installed by a ‘free and fair’ election, that was rigged by manipulating public opinion.

With the aid of complicit billionaire owned news corporations, these plutocrats controlled the media and normalized every horrid and sordid thing Trump did, while scrutinizing and demonizing the black woman who opposed him. They made it NORMAL for a convicted felon rapist dirtbag to run for president, as they played to every racist and sexist trope.

With some help from the other side. Biden’s DOJ failed to prosecute. So much for ‘nobody is above the law’.

AND…..they won the election.

Suddenly it was just another election. MSNBC’s morning hosts immediately flew to Florida to kiss the ring.  They were ALL working for the other side folks. Money decided who won. THEY did.

None of this normal. This is a class war, and 97% of us just lost a huge battle. So many of us are still cluelessly believing what the talking heads tell them. The lies will keep coming until we wake up.

In Europe, they call it Austerity Measures. Add a pinch of Faux-Christian Nationalism, and a huge scoop of racism and blame, alongside the overhanging threat of using the military and police against anyone who protests or threatens the regime, and what do you get?

The United States has become first NORTH American Banana Republic. American Idiocracy at it’s finest.

Oligarchy. Plutocracy. Look them up. Then look up socialism and capitalism. Capitalism is the highway to Oligarchy. Socialism is the fruit of Democracy. In which we learn to share, and take care of one another.
