Monuments are very important! That's why govt employs Rangers to protect them - and why monuments are closed when Rangers are furloughed.

20 We're now entering the Cloward-Piven endgame phase: ‘Consider Reducing Your Income by Working Less’ to Get Obamacare Subsidy, says SF Chronicle http://tinyurl.com/kz2e6dr "The San Francisco Chronicle published an article yesterday about how to take advantage of federal Obamacare subsidies, with the ominous headline “Lower 2014 income can net huge health care subsidy.” The author, Kathleen Pender, correctly points out that there is now a huge and abrupt “cliff” in health care costs for many Americans: earn $1 more than the preocribed limit for being on the federal health-subsidy dole, and you’ll have to pay many thousands — even tens of thousands — of dollars more next year for health insurance than you would otherwise. So obviously the smart thing to do would be to find ways to “lower your income.” After recommending a few accounting tricks (but also noting that most standard tricks won’t work), on page 2 of the article Pender gets to the point: “You can also consider reducing your 2014 income by working just a bit less.” This, right here, is the toxic essence of the welfare state. It’s already been proven over and over that for the lower classes, welfare incentivizes permanent dependence: Since one gets more money receiving a raft of federal entitlements than one would get earning a salary at a low-level job, it’s a rational economic decision to remain unemployed, on purpose. Which millions of Americans do, generation after generation, creating a permanent underclass that only consumes the common treasury without ever contributing anything to it. What Obamacare does, as demonstrated by this eye-opening article, is bring the same economic disincentive to the middle class: It is now a rational economic decision for the average American to earn less money. And to earn less you must work less, and when you work less, you contribute less to the common good." We are finished.

29 I was reading a linked article earlier on the O-Care rollout mess at the NYT and the comment section was full of defenders that were merely disappointed in the roll-out..   But one thing several wrote stuck out to me..  they said they really want single-payer and think O-Care will lead to that if only time allows it...    and there's the rub. 

I'd posit that a large percentage of O-Care lovers don't want O-Care, they want Govt' Single Payer... but they know they can't get that... so they're fine with ruining private insurance for the rest of us in the meantime.  Damn progs.

He was on with Manchin and Manchin looked more conservative... and manly... than Corker could aspire to. Towards the end of the interview, Wallace was discussing the proposal that Manchin had put forth which had been rejected by the Senate. Manchin said that the fact that it had been ejected by both Dems and R'pubs told him that it had been an equitable proposal. Wallace then turned to Corker & asked how he thinks he can get his proposal, "which is even more favorable to Dems" than Manchin's to pass the House. How the hell did someone so slimy ever get into office?

This was decided on November 6, 2012. We're just weeping at the funeral now.
 
But there is a counter argument to the one you discuss in your post; that reducing your income slows feeding the beast. In spite of all the roadblocks thrown at you by the gubmint, most people just keep working and complying and watching their work value be gobbled by the grabbers. Real incomes for the middle class have fallen quite a bit under TFG, and that is before 404Care takes its toll.
 
So reduce your output. Live simpler. It's not full Galt, more of a mini-Galt.

100 GnuBreed, some of us (I would guess quite a lot, and not just us morons) have been doing that since somewhere around 2008.  We still need to keep a roof over our heads and a vehicle and food and teh interwebs and, sure, adult beverages and maybe put aside as much as possible for the coming darkness.  I probably could have spent a little less at Bloomingdales, but not a whole lot and, well, stompy boots!

122 gaming thread up

Posted by: Niedermeyer's Dead Horse at October 13, 2013 11:35 AM (DmNpO)

123

Found in the sidebar of an article in the AoSHQ sidebar - an extremely interesting look into the tactics (and reality) of union "protesters", including    discussion of  some intriguing court documentation:

 

This truth is revealed in public court documents filed in a Florida lawsuit involving the UFO “OUR Walmart,” which portrays itself as an organic movement of Wal-Mart associates. In reality, OUR Walmart is simply an arm of the United Food and Commercial Workers union (UFCW), which has been trying to unionize Wal-Mart for years.

Although there are many UFOs in existence, OUR Walmart is one of the most active, so the court documents provide a particularly relevant example of how these groups operate and what really goes into a typical “day of action.”

First, the public documents reveal that OUR Walmart consists primarily of paid UFCW staff, not Wal-Mart associates. Aside from these professional organizers, the UFCW also brings in interns to provide bodies for demonstrations. The UFCW provides media and public relations support for the allegedly independent OUR Walmart, and drafts the literature distributed by the group. Finally, the UFCW plans, organizes, directs, and carries out OUR Walmart protests.

Second, the UFCW supplements the ranks of its “protestors” with staff from other unions and union-funded allies. For example, planning for a 2012 “strike” at a Florida Wal-Mart was coordinated with the UFCW, UNITE-HERE, the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), and Interfaith Workers for Justice. UFCW worked with all of these groups to ensure that their protest would look significant.

Coordination for other Florida protests was carried out with groups such as MoveOn.org. Such coordination was apparently needed — in an email sent during the planning for a Miami demonstration one staffer warned that “turnout will be low,” and in another email a lead organizer plaintively refers to “one” Wal-Mart associate who supposedly wanted to go on strike.

What might be described as amateur pranks are another hallmark of UFOs. During one demonstration, a small group of protesters infiltrated a Wal-Mart store to launch an obscenity-laced “flash-mob.” In another instance, six participants drove a van equipped with a projection camera and speakers into a Wal-Mart parking lot so they could beam self-made movies against an outside wall of the store. Organizers of a November 2012 protest instructed a small group of union staff to “trickle into the [Wal-Mart] lot a few at a time so we don’t tip our hand.” In an email sent to his colleagues, one of those organizers stated: “I like the idea of having customer ‘plants’ leave the [checkout] line to join the action. Are there a few folks we can send over early to stand in line?” Authentic grassroots, this is not.

125 There is atleast one NPS ranger with his priorities right. Fox News just did a story on the Vets march in DC and near the end said an Honor Flight arrived as the protest was winding down and a park ranger at the WWII memorial shook the hand of every veteran saying, 'Welcome to your memorial.'

They didn't show footage of him so maybe he'll keep his job if Barky can't identify him.

There are three departments. Park service cops, Capitol police, and DC police. I'm not sure which group is providing the riot cops. Blue shirts though. NBC has footage of what looks like an altercation between the cops, and the veterans.

182 Truck, I went to the Million Vet March website to donate, but it seemed they were only spending the money on tweets or emails or something.  I wondered if there were a fund to provide travel expenses for vets who may not otherwise be able to afford to participate.  Do you know of any such thing?  I just couldn't donate to a marketing effort . . .

217 Greenspan did it. He painted the Fed Reserve into a corner with all his unnecessary meddling to combat "irrational exuberance" in the stock market. One of the Fed's major tools to tweek the economy is setting their "funds rate" to make minor adjustments to a hot or cool economy and to curb inflation or deflation. Greenspan essentially took that option away from the Fed by making the interest rates so low that there's no wiggle room for adjustment (just upwards, which would now have devastating effects on the fragile economy). And because of all this meddling the economy was never allowed to correct itself. It's now a time bomb.

Even the good ones aren't just getting up there with the facts and the record and pointing out that the Democrat Party *will not accept*, under any circumstances, anything but an *increase* in government spending and *power over your lives*. That's how a government takes control of and *replaces* a society, stops what the *society* wants to do and *fundamentally transforms* it into something that fits the whims of the ruling class. Which, of course, always ends up in mass destruction, because nobody's distant whims are better at *living your life* than you are, no matter how much of a screw-up you might be. Even some dull-witted leftists might be able to put those numbers together. *Some*.

Oh... that's right: - Peacefully assembly of people who support limited government= Terrorists - People shitting on cop cars, setting up rape tents, trashing parks and private businesses, throwing molotov cocktails, and making open threats against "The 1%"= Patriots and Heros - Shrink military and negotiate with people who kill Americans and overthrown governments= Smart Diplomacy - Refuse to negotiate with elected representatives and building up domestic police forces= defending national interests. Ok. Got it. Just wanted to make sure I know precisely where things stand. Feel free to send the goon squad over and try to take me to the camps for expressing my opinion and otherwise living peacefully, paying my bills and taxes and supporting over 70% of the country. We'll see how that turns out, shall we? On the other hand, how about I quit? I won't complain anymore. I won't support the next idiot running for an election that pretends to oppose you. I will sit idly by like a good peasant. You can keep your Obamaphone, your subsidies, your healthcare, and the rest. Since I'll have no income, I will be exempt from your taxes and I will exempt myself from your "benefits". Thanks. I can take care of myself. If me and people like me do EXACTLY what you want, let's see how that works out for all of us, shall we? What will you do when I stop opposing you, stop paying your bills, and function exactly as you tell me I should? Then will you send your goons to try to make me produce (while lecturing me about slavery)? You can take all my stuff (though you'll have to use force and show yourself for who you are). I won't help you, but I won't fight you either. After you take my stuff by force, lock me up by force, ostracize me or kill me; tell me... what will you do then?

246 "mostly"... 

if 25 percent of the leftists at a protest throw trash cans through McDonalds' windows, it will be a "mostly peace protest" because you can't blame the majority for a few radicals.

if 99.999 percent of a tea party rally salute the flag, applause the people speaking, wave signs and flags, and clean up when they leave, it will also be "mostly peaceful", because one idiot showed up with a LaRouche.Pac sign showing Barky with a Hitler mustache and someone else threw a half eaten hot dog at him.

According to this MoFA bulletin, GRU intelligence assests were notified by their Pentagon counterparts this past week that President Barack Obama is preparing to invoke the powers given to him under 50 USC Chapter 13 to hold that various American States are now in a “state of insurrection” thus allowing him to invoke the National Emergencies Act under 50 USC § 1621 and invoke the highly controversial “continuity of government” plan for the United States allowing him, in essence, to rule with supreme powers.

260 According to this MoFA bulletin, GRU intelligence assests were notified by their Pentagon counterparts this past week that President Barack Obama is preparing to invoke the powers given to him under 50 USC Chapter 13 to hold that various American States are now in a “state of insurrection” thus allowing him to invoke the National Emergencies Act under 50 USC § 1621 and invoke the highly controversial “continuity of government” plan for the United States allowing him, in essence, to rule with supreme powers.

269 The NYT article said that over all responsibility for the website was that of Medicare systems people. If that is true they were trying to do it on the cheap. Agency tech people are notoriously awful and screw stuff up all the time. Plus they have their own regular responsibilities with existing program systems. But then there is more money to pass out to cronies. Win for the cronies, lose for the schmucks at the agency and the public. The article also confirmed that they didn't start working on it in earnest until six or seven months ago because Obama admin was 1) farting around and 2) still trying to coerce states into it to get them to share the cost and blame. The article also says the IT contractors are all trying to distance themselves from it before they are ruined forever. Too late.

329 The first Machete made $44M and only cost $10M to make. And that's before, DVD and TV money.

The director, Robert Rodriguez, is famously good at making movies on the cheap so they always make a profit. He has his own studio in Texas and does pretty much everything himself - writer, director, cameraman, audio mixing, soundtrack. Guy is kinda a genius at low budget movie making.

334 Hundreds? Really? I think it is clear it is more than hundreds.. Posted by: Yip You would probably be right about that, but it does not fit the Narrative. Therefore is is double-plus ungood to try and embarrass the Obama Regime, and this will be down the memory hole by next Tuesday, as if it never happened. Es Pravda!!

336 I have to laugh... from a post at Zerohedge on the protest some guy comments that he's a vet and says this whole thing is a Koch Bros production bought and paid for and these vets are fools...   which draws my favorite smackdown reply I wish I could have written...  it's teh awesome..


I think I've heard your song before. The noble man of conscience, ashamed of his military service, who wants to buy the world a coke and teach it how to sing. I think it was sung by John Kerry.

You're a progressive troll, nothing more. Transparent and disingenuious.

Be advised, like the NSA, the patriot movement are keeping lists of their own.

That being said, I've no further time to waste responding to Obamaites other than to reiterate..Fuck you punk.


Heh.  internet smackdown!

337 How likely is it we get a complete surrender on the shutdown/debt ceiling? I count the medical device tax repeal as complete surrender since we could have gotten that without a shutdown as it was already "repealed" in the Senate. Does anyone think that the House votes to extend the debt ceiling only and leaves the government shut down?

338 Not only will the Republicans completely surrender, they'll throw in the Sequester too.

339 We are finished.Posted by: zombie at October 13, 2013 03:04 PM (+cx5n) All that in addition to the new 30 hour work week and 49ers: small businesses capped at 49 employees to avoid huge cost increases due to Obamacare.And the list goes on. Doctors having to hire new paperwork compliance staff while firing actual healthcare help should have ended this entire mess. Or the ominous "doctors retiring in droves" stories.It looks like we as a nation are going full-(Tropic Thunder). Posted by: Beagle at October 13, 2013 03:17 PM (sOtz/) It all fits in with the New Feudalism, where you have the rich elite, a dependant class, and an eforcer/gentry class of bureaucrats & quaint shop owners. Part of Marx's dream was that people would only have to work 4 hours a day, and then have the rest of the time to do stuff together for mutual benefit to the point where work and social activity become one. (More on Marx here: http://tinyurl.com/ku6upab) In this world, of course the dependant classes will "work," but it will be the socially constructive "community organizing" type of work. Most of the time at leastÂ… the elite will still need quaint locals working at quaint bistros to serve them quaint fair-trade fapachinos and quaint organic arugula salads while the elite talk about how wonderfully quaint everything is. Oh, those lucky peasants who will be allowed to work in the arcadian paradise to serve the elite while the rest of the "lucky" peasants will get to live in the urban paradises designed and run by the benevolent eliteÂ…

340 I saw that "Captain Phillips" is capsizing at the box-office. Pandering Oscar-bait... self-serving narrative for that useless captain... and a dollop of sympathy for Somali pirates. What's not to love?

BTW, what happened to Hanks? Nowadays I'd rather watch Clooney. I repeat. You are less likely to get a smug pile of leftist garbage from Clooney these days, than from Hanks.

343 I don't know if it is worth delineating between the preachy-lefty-goodness of Hanks v Clooney.  Hanks movie suffers from a pro-military vibe so the left won't care for it and from the right, Hanks + tortured storyline bereft from truth hurts with more conservatives.

I'm trying to get him to comment here. 

One of his Marine buddies is arriving tomorrow night, driving down from Mt. Vernon, MO.  They used to be roommates and mortal enemies (the guy was a lib who voted for TFG in '08 but has seen the light and hates TFG will the heat of a billion suns now).  Should be an interesting week.

351 Yeah Peaches, I read that too.  I thought the movie was overplaying the hero aspect a tad and the article confirmed it.  I remembered from when this happened criticism that the Capt' disregarded warnings  and was waaay too close to the coast.

Typical hollywood to hero-up the aspect of the story that shouldn't be.  They could have made the same movie and hero'd up the Cmdr. on the ship with the SEALS that disregarded Obama's dithering and ordered his SEALS to take the shot(s).  That.. would have been a better storyline... but antithetical to the likes of Hanks fer shuer.

Correct. I am the weapon. Everything else is just a tool.

I buried both of my young wives. I am the last member of my family standing. You think I have a thing to lose? Better think it over. Real carefully. I really know how to ruin your day.

And I am just a peaceful, kindly, grandfatherly type. There is much worse, waiting....

362 US soldiers shot and killed by Afghan in Afghan Army uniform today, Sharana city (the provincial capital), Paktika, East Afghanistan Meanwhile, Moocher spends millions of tax funds planning a family birthday party, Obama vacations while ordering riot police to "retake" the War Memorials he's ordered closed to all, especially closed to Veterans. The House Democrat mantra "Close the Republican Government Shut Down" hardly addresses Washington's Rules of Engagement policies getting our troops killed where they've been ordered to train their own murderers. Impeach Obama and the trash he sleeps with.
