Sometimes I have to wonder

This morning, as we were having coffee at the midpoint of our morning bike ride, a friend and long time riding buddy commented
I just hope when Obama gets in, he doesn't screw up the economy too bad.

SAY WHAT? As if the economy isn't screwed up enough already, after 8 years of George Bush, 6 years of a Republican congress, and a free market system left to run amok, he's worried Obama might screw things up more. (Sorry ....... I couldn't help myself. :) )

No matter what Obama does when he gets into office, has to be an improvement. I don't think it's possible to screw things up any more than they already are. There just isn't that much room left, if any, for things to get worse.

But even with that said, I can see it now, as clearly as I can see LA from the top of Turnbull Canyon when the Santa Ana's are blowing, Sarah Palin and Rush Limbaugh calling for the impeachment of Obama, and blaming this whole economic mess on him and the Democratic congress.

Then on top of that, I've got a customer "all up in arms" complaining the manufacturing plan that was submitted by the machine shop, for some parts that we're making, isn't satisfactory.

The big deal in this case is, there isn't even a requirement to send a separate machining plan for approval. (We already provided a manufacturing plan, including machining, which was approved.) It seems our sales manager requested this plan from the machine shop (bypassing quality), and then proceeded to send it to the customer.

Like I said, sometimes I just have to wonder where some people have their heads?

People are idiots, sometimes. Our country is in financial ruin due to the Republican congress and we don't even know the what extent yet.

People are living on credit cards (which will probably be the next disaster) and Obama will get blamed for that as well.

I know exactly where our Sales Managers' head is at. :-)

History IS repeating itself

I didn't grow up during the rise and fall of Hitler and Nazi Germany, so for me to claim it feels like those are the times we are living in now, must be taken with a grain of salt. But I have seen enough movies, and read enough history to know, if the times we're living in now are not akin to the rise of a Nazism and Facism in Europe in the 1930's and 1940's, then we're not far off. If you can't see the parallels with Nazi Germany, then you must be living in a different country than me. Republicans and other right wing extremists will stop at nothing to subvert the will of the majority, forcing their beliefs, that they are the superior race and have been appointed by God, to impose their will on America, while they blame all our problems on immigrants, blacks and Jews. As I speak, Mitch McConnell, and his minions are raising roadblocks to all legislation designed to help average Americans under the guise of fiscal responsibility. They condone violent and verba...

Vaccine Mandates, what are they good for?

Not much, that's for sure! Simply showing evidence of receiving a Covid-19 vaccine (whether fake or not), does not mean you are protected from getting Covid-19, nor spreading it, if infected. We are all different, and too many of us, i.e. people who are immunocompromised/ immunosupressed, the elderly, or others for various reasons, do not [cannot] mount an immune response as good as younger and healthier individuals. What is evidence of immunity is a quantitative antibody test showing you have developed antibodies, and to what degree, either from natural immunity or the vaccine.  That is what we should be testing for. That is what is important. But for too long, many, i.e. the FDA, doctors, and other health experts discouraged people (and still are) from getting antibody tests, because there was little knowledge about what level of antibodies are needed to impart immunity to the virus. That of course is true, to some extent, but how can we ever find out [learn] the a...

Open letter to all Democrats

Stop the nonsense! Continuing to go after Trump, without any hope of getting a conviction, does nothing more than provide Republicans with an obstructionist dialogue (now that they have come up with the unconstitutional talking point) in addition to giving Trump much needed publicity, when we should be ignoring him. It's the pure definition of insanity, doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting a different result! Instead Democrats need to be laser focused on what is important to all Americans, i.e. healthcare, Social Security and Medicare, infrastructure reform, the Covid-19 vaccine rollout, to name just a few. And when you do talk about Trump, simply steer the conversation as to how the Trump administration botched everything, how Trump is responsible for the deaths of 400,000+ Americans, due to his inaction and the down playing of the pandemic, plus the deaths of 2 Capitol policeman during the insurrection Trump provoked and incited on January 6, 2021. ...
