    Our banks could front the money to us with virtually zero risk, because the funds are coming back through the system from other banks. They just want to keep it on the books as long as is legal to earn interest.

    If you want to change this, you need to vote for people who are not in bed with the banks. That means no incumbents, and especially no Republican incumbents. No, not all politicians are corrupt, but nearly all of them are, term limits for Congress would help mitigate this, certainly better than no term limits.



  • “On today’s jump, something went wrong and he did not have enough lift with his wingsuit,” Peck said. “He impacted the ground at a high rate of speed resulting in his death.”

    When I flew RC gliders, we flew off cliffs because the wind hits the cliff and shoots straight up, letting the glider just float around in the updraft. It’s called “ridge lift”.

    Maybe the wind died at just the wrong moment?

    I realize wing suits don’t fly the way gliders fly. But, I suspect they need ridge lift when they first jump off to get started.

    Just a guess.






  • I see this means they can change the prices in the store as quickly and easily as they do online. And, they don’t need to pay people to change the paper tags.

    But, you’re not forced to log in before you can see the prices online, meaning they aren’t changing the price based on who is logged in, and I sincerely doubt they’d change prices on the shelves while the store is open, where shoppers could pick an item, and then the price is higher when they get to the check out.

    It makes it easier for them to change prices, but the shoppers still can choose not to buy the product at the price offered.

    Our focus should be on demanding higher wages, and more rights, through unionizing and voting. We can complain about this, too, but I doubt trying to pass some law against digital shelf signs will make much difference for us. I’m certainly not against it, I just don’t think it will help much at all.

    Maybe I’m missing something obvious here, I’m not very smart.
