Stingy Money Talks, Votes.
(2)
Done. I should also mention that the plumber's bill included some repair to the drain pipes and the installation of a new 'Insinkerator' garbage disposal. Sounds more and more like a deal! And yes, I could have offered to 'pay half,' but did not do so on the 'grounds' that it is totally Kootch's apartment. Nor did Kootch suggest that we split the fee. (She knows that I am one stingy muthafucka, but she also knows that if she ever really needs it, 'all my money are belong to her.')
Which brings us to my first theme: Stingy Money. What a subject! First a visual:
You can find this and other visuals at Wealth inequality in the United States. Go there if you dare. But what a stunning revelation! The bottom 40% had only .2 percent of the country's wealth! Equally stunning, the top 5 percent had 62.9% of America's wealth! Something is wrong... very, very, wrong. America is fucked up. We need to fix that.
So when the Supreme Court failed to overturn 'Obamacare' yesterday, a wave of astonishment swept over the national media. Surprise, surprise! And the 'culprit' turned out to be none other than Chief Justice Roberts! What was he thinking?! We can't know, of course, but I suspect that Roberts was feeling guilty over the 'Citizens United' decision which effectively allows The Wealthy to propaganize the rest of us using modern media. Money Honey!
