Stay at home Moms – an untapped job pool

Inc. Magazine has discovered a way companies can expand their talent pool –stay-at-home Moms: http://tinyurl.com/k8zpuqf

Well, glory be. I’d like to also say something for stay-at-home Dads. Lots of us who have been Dads with kids, and some like me whose kids are all grown up and gone on with their lives, we would also like to put in a plug for using skills on a remote basis.

I understand the reluctance and of course their are surely many people who would abuse this system. But it seems like the trend in using offshore talent, for example, companies are learning ways to manage remote talent.

The most outstanding and reputable names in their respective fields, in general, it seems like, can basically even name their price for remote work. This fact –I know several of them personally– plus the offshore resource sector, shows that it is more workable in-country for wider use than most company and corporate cultures are accustomed to.

Many rich kids have a sense of entitlement?

If you think many rich kids have a sense of entitlement, and certainly many do: the stories told of Obama as teenager, George Herbert Walker Bush as college grad, the children of the “elite” secret societies that George Carroll talked about in “Tragedy and Hope”, George Soros (a Jew who was saved from the Holocaust by a Nazi Jew-hunter), the Rothschilds (who played cards nightly for a time with Adolf Eichmann in their mansion and who were deported instead of exterminated), the children of extortionist tax-collection regimes of bloated government political operatives that Jesus Christ spoke of in Matthew 17:24-27, you’re right. And the Red Diaper Doper Babies as one of the top two talk-show hosts calls them.

But those are the ones you see flaunting the wherewithal of their parents. There are others who cannot be so ostentatious, because the entitled political class has them pacified with food stamp crumbs. Demagogues tell them they deserve to be entitled just because the “rich” are entitled.

But the demagogues work for those spoiled little rich kids that grew up to be cocaine-party governors and presidents harassing interns, and throwing bombs around in drones just because they can.

Nobody is “entitled” to another person’s wealth no matter who has how much of anything. Everybody knows it’s wrong to steal because when somebody steals from them they know that’s wrong, and it does not matter if the thief is poor or that the thief is a government that *says* it steals for the poor but takes the lion’s share.

Jeffrey Tucker: How I quit smoking and why I’m glad I did

Big eyes and attribution

https://tucker.liberty.me/2015/01/06/big-eyes-and-the-longing-for-attribution/

“Big Eyes,” the new movie directed by Tim Burton, provides some insight as to why people continue to support IP despite all the logic and evidence. The film is the true and very compelling story of Margaret and Walter Keane, and the paintings of children with big eyes that made such a huge splash in the 1950s and 1960s.

The attitude Jeffrey Tucker describes toward Walter Keane is the one I now have against all the big “monopoly pimps” who make a market of government monopoly grants. Almost nobody in Hollywood that “owns” a copyright for a movie or a piece of music was the one who created it. They are only mediators between the creator and consumer and take all the percentage off the top that their monopoly will tolerate.

The guy that invented the inner tube, for example, for Goodyear I think it was. The guy got a small prize for the idea he put into a suggestion box. That was it. His great big corporate employer made millions from the monopoly grant for his idea. He never begrudged this discrepancy.

Which also shows that ending this farce of copyright and patent and “intellectual property” will not hurt innovation but only help. And this hasn’t even touched the way the mercantilists rob the “intellectual property” from people who have scant resources to fight back. Even a well-known figure such as Tesla is not properly credited.

LEGAL drugs and big news shootings

Looks like a bit of turnabout. Michael Moore invokes the 2nd Amendment, says fire all the police and start over. In a Colombine review, instead of blaming guns, he points to the Prozac (and Luvox, meds) that were involved with ALL the big news shootings over the last few years.

Moore tells police departments to fire them all, we have our 2nd amendment, we’ll defend ourselves:

Maybe he’s trying to stay relevant and gave up on the gun-control bandwagon as hopeless and is taking the new tactic of exposing Big Pharma:

California drought

Solutions are obvious to the California drought. Lobbyists, politicians and collectivist ideological blindness are the obstacles in the way.

One, let the water happen as a free market, from the very source to the very end. Rationing is at its heart, price control. Price control is a top-down central planning practice, dictated by the political class. Central planning never works for both its purposes. Sometimes it’s imposed in a misguided attempt to be “fair”, water being the most essential substance for existence. Sometimes it’s meant for a more malevolent purpose.

In either case, rationing always creates a parallel market, whether that parallel market is for the favor of the political class (like the agro interests denoted above though the political lobby), or a black market for the same goods. The Soviet Union, for example, had a thriving black market. The drug wars have only created one of the most sophisticated smuggling practices in history.

That’s one solution, free the market from political constraints. People who love their daffodils, let them pay through the nose for them. That will help finance improvements in the delivery systems for everybody.

Another solution is for the individual victims of this attack on sanity. I keep telling my relatives to move out of California. A great many businesses have done this. If you live on the shoreline in Florida then I should not be forced to subsidize your high-value waterfront property from my pocket, nor should anybody force others to finance your recovery.

ER Doctor: It’s Time to Bring Back Hugging – Everywhere

So says this doctor, at least:
https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/er-doctor-its-time-bring-back-hugging-everywhere-louis-m-profeta-md?trk=pulse-det-nav_art

I remember in college taking a psychology class where the professor showed videos of monkeys that, shortly after birth, were raised in isolation and deprived of any physical contact. They often were prone to violence and would sit in the corner hugging themselves and rocking in obvious despair. When placed back in cages later in life with other socialized monkeys, they cowered in fear. It was heartbreaking and even to this day, it is one of the most distressing films I have ever seen.

Over the years in ER, there are many things that have distressed me, horrible things that wake me up at night. Images of parents hugging the dead body of a their child so tight you are certain a truck could not pull them apart. But the sick notion that hugging is anything other than a form of affection meant to comfort, thank, appreciate, love, or welcome another tops it all. The stupidity of our bosses, school administrators, educators, and oversensitive idiots who think there is something abusive or sexist in the act is beyond description. Oh sure, I know I’ve seen the hyped-up news stories of some teacher or coach, or mother’s ex-boyfriend, who took advantage a child and even robbed them of their innocence. Yes, it’s horrible. Sure, there may be some perverse secondary gain some fringe sicko might find in the act. Certainly we must always work to prevent that. But you can’t tell me that this fear should justify the creation of any policy that regulates an act of comfort and affection especially when that policy bans it all together.

Holographic universe?

We communicate with each other using language. All languages must have a way to distinguish facts from logic and the conclusions that facts plus logic results in.

There is no “truth that replaced” an earlier truth. The objective truth, the kind of truth that the scientific method HELPS us find, through TESTING the ideas we have, that is the truth of the real world.

If you have an idea that overlays the world, and you think it’s all a hologram (I’ve read about this idea), that doesn’t mean it is. You have to show us exactly what that means in terms that the rest of us can understand and test.

Almost all religions and superstitions were beliefs that were not “truths replaced” but they diminished in their acceptance because they did not match empirical facts.

The Christian context for “Western civilization” meant a culture that believed in a God that was consistent. He was not capricious or given to whims and fancy like the pagan gods. This is the point Isaac Newton made.

Isaac Newton said the very fact that the practice of science was possible and resulted in consistent verifiable and repeatable results was compelling evidence that there was a God. In other words, he was a supporter of the idea we now know as “intelligent design”.

The SETI project shows us that anti-creationist scientists have no problem with the science of determining whether there is intelligent design in a physical phenomenon as a scientific endeavor itself and independent of whoever the designer of those designs may be. They only object on the scale of biology itself and on the collection of physics constants in hand.

In a very sneaky way, they say it’s a sneaky way to push creationism into science. They say this because they cannot let any “divine foot in the door”, as one Darwinian biologist said in a moment of candor. Many of them may not even be aware of this, having been conditioned to see things the way they say outwardly. There was a time when I did similar things in theistic topics.

And yet they have no problem with the ones that say aliens designed us. (See Michael Crichton’s essay, “Aliens Cause Global Warming”.

Creation deniers have a new religion, although they won’t acknowledge it. They themselves incorporate pagan mysticism into their beliefs. This is why Hindus sometimes see hints of their own origins theology in the Big Bang and theories like the “holistic universe”. Darwinian evolution, which in essence says all life has its origins in rocks and water and sunlight, is an ancient pagan superstition:
….

Saying to a stock, Thou art my father; and to a stone, Thou hast brought me forth: for they have turned their back unto me, and not their face: but in the time of their trouble they will say, Arise, and save us. – Jeremiah 2:27

….
Some ancient Greeks even abbreviated the Darwinian idea in writings that survive to this day.

An irony: those writings were preserved by Christian monks throughout these centuries. This love for literacy is a heritage left us through St. Patrick who taught literacy and left a love for the written word to his Irish disciples and their disciples, and through Charlemagne’s use of the Irish and British monks, to us today.
