The Problems with Billionaires

 The outside temp was a cool 48 (F) when I woke up this morning.  I had the heat set at 69 (F) was not surprised to hear it turn on while I was cooking up my barley breakfast.  There are freeze warnings out for tonight, however, according to Accuweather, the lowest our temperature will get is 39 (F).  That's 7 degrees above freezing.  Maybe they're just being cautious.

And yesterday was one of those odd days.  Some things were done, like laundry, but not enough for me to say the day was a total success.  I did my Wednesday morning workout in, paid some bills.  Dinner was a beef stewy thing I threw together in the crock pot.  But looking back on it, I'm wondering where the hours went.

Today feels like it should be Saturday, but it's Thursday and I have to work this afternoon.  My new schedule was posted yesterday and it does appear as though I'm back to working 22 hours a week.  That's fine.

I did get some words written, but not as many as I'd have liked.  If it weren't for the shit show going on the country, I'd say I might have a mild case of writer's block.  Unfortunately, there is the shit show and like many Americans, I'm watching it anxiously.  

Anyway this popped up in my Facebook feed yesterday, my only ride in a helicopter.  I'm flying back to my ship.  I truly disliked it.  For those of you who have never ridden in a Navy helicopter, they are extremely loud, even with the sound proofing headphones.  To this day, hearing a helicopter simply grates me.

And one of the main reasons we have this shit show is billionaires.  Believe me, billionaires are only conservative because of the tax breaks they are addicted to, they are hooked on the heroin of lower percentage rates.  In their private lives they do whatever the hell they want, most of which is neither conservative nor Christian.  Because Democrats want to tax them, billionaires are backing Republicans. They do not understand that everything has a tipping point.  That is an idea that doesn't enter their thinking process... at all.  And the MAGA cultists?  They are soooo needy.  They also believe that billionaires are like fairy godmothers and fairy godfathers, that they'll wave the little billionaire magic wand and everything will be fine and dandy.  Cultists don't understand that billionaires view them as an expendable resource, or that billionaires will put them through Hell just so that they don't have to deal with pronouns they don't like.  Cultists will always be the ultimate victims, used and then thrown away once they no longer have any value.  Will the cultists ever reach their own tipping point?  I don't know, but the billionaires had better watch out if they ever do.
