Auditors from the World Assembly have decided to pay a visit to assess how much Highway Eighty-Eight should pay to fulfill its annual donation to the organization. The problem? The law regulating the donations operates as if it isn’t voluntary, and the number they’re quoting is causing your accountants to faint.

The Debate

“I know the language of the resolution says ‘donation’, but it’s a mandatory donation. Here, look at the third definition from the top,” asserts your Chief Legal Advisor, shoving a dusty, leatherbound book under your nose. “And there’s all the legislative history from the debates… what isn’t censored out, at least. We have a legal and moral obligation to obey international law. Besides, the last thing we want is to be noncompliant with the World Assembly. The repercussions would be unthinkable.”

Accept

“How could a ‘donation’ possibly be mandatory?” snorts your Minister of Finance. “Pseudo-legal claptrap, if you ask me. Now, we can’t break the law, obviously, but look at how many zeros there are in that number. A lot, that’s how many. The law clearly needs a little tweak. Let’s have our World Assembly ambassador write up a quick repeal and replacement. The international community couldn’t possibly be opposed to some common-sense reform, right?”

Accept

“I think I have a solution for you, the Most Holy Gas Gauge,” whispers Desmond Snow, President and CEO of the Agency for Creative Solutions. “These ‘rules’ about donations are really more like guidelines anyway. Look, if you change a few numbers in the books, they won’t have anything to take. Here, we can just erase this zero… carry the seven… and now you’re in the red! As long as no one looks too closely at the books, you probably won’t suffer terrifying reprisals. In fact, we’ll even do this one for free, if you make us your exclusive government accounting service.” He smiles, showing far too many teeth.

Accept

“Who gives an empty sack about ‘international’ law?” exclaims radical radio pundit Kate Bone, who just shouldered her way into your office. “For too long the World Assembly and its bureaucratic gnomes have leeched off our glorious nation’s hard work! They regulate our businesses into the ground with their child labor and environmental protection laws, involve themselves in our affairs with their feel-good anti-slavery legislation, and then they want us to empty the treasury into their bottomless bar tabs! Resign now and get rid of ‘em all, I say!” She eyes up a nearby security guard’s weapon. “By any means necessary.”

If any nge (non-government employee) or a businessman, did the exact same thing especially if they were not a media darling (like Weinstien (sp)), it would be national news for months. Those same people that are covering for Cuomo would be virtue signalling from their Twitter accounts how more caring they are by demanding "justice."

I want to know who the supposed experts who put the directive in the "guidelines" to be criminally negligent. Why are they in positions of authority to make such deranged directives?

Got into a heated discussion with a co-worker, he's an extremely liberal type. He said: "America is not worth fighting for". Why are liberals like this

Auxorii, New Tampa

Because they aren't taught their own history and culture in context. They are taught a Marxist dialectic to usher in Socialism and the Revolution to follow -- burn everything to the ground so that utopia may arise. One has to be taught to hate themselves and others in order to do that.

He isn't a liberal, he's an illiberal who has been tricked into thinking he is one. A liberal Democrat (classical liberal) promotes liberty and equality with a strong safety net even though the safety net they want is unworkable, unconstitutional and does more harm than good. He might not be as left as the Leftist who rioted, looted, and burned down Democratic Party held cities all Summer, but America is worth fixing.

During a severe weather outbreak yesterday, weather sirens raised the alarm about the incoming danger. However, that didn’t seem to concern residents, who had grown all too used to constant tests and malfunctions associated with the aging system. Following dozens of fatalities, a discussion has arisen regarding the best method to warn the public about approaching weather threats.

The Debate

“I’m tired of weathering weather sirens!” shouts storm survivor Anna Fforde, still wearing her soggy raincoat. “I’m in my house, glued to my phone, when I thought I heard a train. Turns out, it was no train; it was a twister coming straight at me! Sure, I heard the sirens, but they go off all the time! Instead of listening out for old sirens, we should get official weather alerts through our phones. I mean, people definitely won’t ignore their cell phones!”

Accept

“Well, not everyone has a cell phone, and what if its battery dies in the middle of a storm, what then?” questions Highway Eighty-Eight Emergency Management spokesperson Doug Mason. “The biggest advantage to sirens is that we can assure that they will always work... as long as they aren’t old, malfunctioning, or whatever. It should be clear that a refit of the siren system is on the radar. All we need to do is update them to be more... attention-grabbing. I’m sure citizens won’t ignore weather sirens if we replace the wail with, say, a blood-curdling scream!”

Accept

“Why is it the government’s responsibility to warn us of incoming life or death situations?” rants well-known libertarian political speaker Kendall Smithers, failing to intervene as her infant picks up a nearby nail gun. “It’s the responsibility of the individual to ensure their own safety. We shouldn’t be wasting Roadshekels maintaining a faulty, hardly-used system. I say we let the old siren system die, save ourselves some money, and call it a day. If the average motorist doesn’t have enough common sense to take caution when the weather gets bad, then I forecast that Highway Eighty-Eight has a far bigger problem.”

I just realised that the names of the "Enemy Within" easter egg issues are all Beatles song

Narland

While we are getting rid of Jim Crow era filibuster, lets get rid of all legacies of Jim Crow starting the 17th amendment that turned the Senate from an august body representing the State Legislatures and the People of the States themselves, then nobody would care if there was or was not a filibuster. Turning our US Senate into a redundancy of the Congress was one of the worst things that Progressives had done to damage our Republican form of government that protects of from the corruption of despots, oligarchs, and mob mentality from within and without the country.

While we are getting rid of the last vestiges of Jim Crow, we should get rid of the 16th amendment. Force Congress to tax us all equitably or not at all.

...(G)overnment isn't the solution to the problem. Government is the problem. -- Ronald Reagan.

Miri Islands

Personally, I think if those virtue signallers were really serious about getting rid of the vestiges of Jim Crow, they should start by dismantling their own Democratic Party. But they aren't interested in changing their stripes. They seem more interested in misdirection, obfuscation, and the politics of remaining in power through dialectic determinism than truth, justice, and any segmentation of humanity they purport to care about.

***anecdote alert***

I think it funny as a small child in the 60s a Beatles song was playing an out of date Beatles number over an AM Transistor radio (I think it was, "She Loves You"). An Aunt turned it off in a huff. My Great-Grandmother interjected, "I was listening to that!" My aunt (in her 20s) complained that it was devil music. My Great-Grandmother (in her 90s) said, "Tosh!, Devil music is the two-step at private barn-dances where they get pickled and rip each other's clothes off!" I was told to leave the room, and they continued their argument.

I am sure Trump will throw his hat in the ring, if only just to again have a luncheon with two scoops of ice cream when everyone else has but one. That is something I would do if I had been abused, slandered, and libeled has horrifically as Trump. Then I would hold my person to person Q&A sessions with the craven press not near a running helicopter (Marine-1), but strategically placed next to a running C-130 turbo-prop at a high wine.

If I were president, instead of one press secretary answering all the questions, I would have a panel. It would be made up of no-nonsense guys like Adam Corolla, Joe Rogan, Doug Stanhope, Trey Parker, Peter Schiff, Mike Rowe, and a weekly random Duck Dynasty cast member. They would take the question, discuss it amongst themselves, and then give a fitting response. They would be instructed to treat any irresponsible press questions like a heckle. The better they handle the hecklers the higher the wage. The more comedic the response the higher the end of the week bonus.

The logic of the left is amazing to me.

The logic of the left is the abuse of logic, or lack thereof by a dialectic determinism bereft of truth and objectivity. Its purpose is to spin any story to its most believable untruths for never ending moving goalposts. Its end is to gain power and control over the institutions of society by propagating civil discord by whatever means (race, class, sex, opinion) to institute any form of Statist Socialism so that the inevitable Marxist Revolution can arise. They must both destroy the greatest deterrent to abject Marxism -- the resilient fabric of a relatively well educated, content electorate in a relatively peaceably free and open society by limited government (Liberty), just due process (Equality); and to miseducate the next generation of the once free West into an unthinking, unreasonable mob of ingrates who will happily destroy what others have, instead of taking the effort to earn it for themselves.

Amazingly, PT Barnum said, "There is a sucker born every minute." but no-one ever seems to think it applies to them. Because violent revolutions that promise Utopia, what must do so by lies, cheats, frauds, theft, coercion, murders, pillaging, and burning everything to the ground are soooo persuasive. In there minds and in the supposed the name of "The Workers of the World" such treachery is going to magically poop rainbows and unicorns whereof the Marxian new man arises that give all according to his abilities, and only takes what little he needs, and everyone is happy little cogs in the machinery of a pervasive and perpetual Marxist State.

I think it's a frustration thing, while libertarians know they're right they want to see results and mainstream libertarianism isn't giving it. Libertarians have some fantasy that they can make authoritarianism go away if they play by the rules no matter how stacked they are against them. They see the fascist rhetoric of revolution and destruction of marxism and draws the frustrated libertarian to it with the hope that maybe it can be reformed if they have a seat at the table.

I drove into the californicated boise for some shopping. Boise's fascist mayor (technically she is a neomarxist (but that is a distinction without a difference)) still has an unlawful mask mandate on the city businesses. I only put on a mask if a store worker asks. Locally owned small businesses usually don't. It is the big-box stores like Lowe's and Home Depot that usually get bent out of shape.

In the parking lot of one store was a 4x4 3/4 ton pickup with a flagstaff in the fifth-wheel hitch. There was a large flag blowing in the breeze that read, "Frack Biden" in large print. In smaller print underneath were the words, "And frack you for voting for him!" Except it wasn't the word frack, but something not PG-13.

While inside the store it was easy to find the owner of the pickup. He and his better half (besides myself and company) were the only one's not wearing masks. He was a war vet who had one of his legs blown off. I thanked him for his service, and told him that while personally I wouldn't use those exact words, I share his sentiments. He thanked me, and we went on our way.

I was referring to GOPErs like Joe Walsh who were so anti-Trump that they would consider voting for Biden. They were anti-Trump not because of his policies but more his personality. I will admit that even I as an ardent Trump supporter did cringe at times when he decided to run his mouth instead of letting the opponent destroy themselves. One notable example was Trump’s attacks on Brian Kemp the gov of GA. I actually like Kemp not only for the new voter laws but also for his covid response which was so widely criticized but ended up being the right choice. But to cap off my winding rant I would take Trump for his policies over Biden any day.

I didn’t vote for Trump and think he’s a terrible person and corrupt bastard. I don’t support the president.

I will admit that even I as an ardent Trump supporter did cringe at times when he decided to run his mouth instead of letting the opponent destroy themselves. One notable example was Trump’s attacks on Brian Kemp the gov of GA. I actually like Kemp not only for the new voter laws but also for his covid response which was so widely criticized but ended up being the right choice. But to cap off my winding rant I would take Trump for his policies over Biden any day.

I just can't see why someone would hate trump over his personality. Sure he's brash and he sounds like an arrogant prick but he was extremely effective at his job and delivered most of his promises which is shocking considering he was running on making every populists fantasy world a reality
