Mad budget skills
There are a lot of unhappy people out there. In a moment of reckless abandon, I checked a suggested stream of misery on Twitter, by following the @crazykarens tag. Wow! Give these folks a shovel, and they’d find the long way to the antipodes. Meanwhile, everyone else along the way would get a taste of their venom. Too much, on such a lovely day.
This was the first day of “car shopping” in close to a decade (I wasn’t directly involved). Now, I wait to see what we will have in our driveway come the end of quarantine. Will it be a hybrid? That would be cool, because batteries.
The new radio is out of the box, and the control head is attached at the hip. Now, I’m waiting for a programming cable that is somewhere in the system. Otherwise, I’ll get an advanced degree in pushing buttons, if the videos on YouTube can be trusted. I’m patient.
Checking out the mad skills of the MB government: they have decided to pay people to get off “benefits” and go back to work. I don’t know how you run a budget simulation with that as a premise. I’ll have to ask the kids, and see if they understand voodoo economics any better than me. We’ve got similar needs, locally, according to the business class. We just don’t have the deep pockets required, because those same business people hate anything involving increased taxes (on their income). COVID bingo, where you try to get five squares in a row, to make rent. Or meals. Face it, people aren’t returning to the jobs in the cheap end of the pool for a valid reason.
