No choice, hate going into town but had to today, have to get water, eggs and maybe butter. Water store is easy, four five gallon jugs (water in NM is not safe to drink less purified due to old mines, etc) at $1.25 each, that just leaves some gas for the old car and… Walmart. Other stores short of Dollar Tree are too outrageously expensive to shop at, $6-7 a pound for weird looking “beef.” Chicken is usually cheap, only $3-4 a pound, sometimes it drops to $2. Well, the budget got tighter than ever this year, live with my mother and we keep the water, power and internet going, that alone just about zeroes out the meager budget, I work on her place and keep it held together, lots of repairs, etc since she bought it and more to go yet. TV last night (I got the old antenna that came with the place finally turned around and working three years later, not a high priority since we are not TV people, we always just used the internet) had something on the news about how the egg market crashed, eggs are so cheap they are throwing them away to save money, hell they might just give them away! Alright, that works for me! Let’s go to town today and take care of the monthly business and look for those cheap eggs that have been FLOODING the market for over six months.   Continue reading “Had to go to the store today”

Several recent media reports on tight labor markets may have been entirely wrong. New numbers from the Bureau of Labor Statistics suggest that the construction labor market is not as tight as these news outlets might want us to believe.

According to a report from the Center for Economic and Policy Research by Brian Dew and Kevin Cashman, several figures from the Bureau of Labor Statistics seriously bring into question the claim that there is a construction labor shortage. Numerous media reports have stoked this belief, such as a recent report from the Dallas News, which claimed that the lack of available labor is amongst the biggest concerns of homebuilders in the state of Texas.   Continue reading “Reality Check: No Sign of a Construction Labor Shortage”

In the wake of anti-free-speech demonstrations at colleges across the country, the North Carolina legislature recently passed a law that strengthens free speech protections on college campuses in that state.

House Bill 527 “includes several important provisions that will better protect campus free speech,” according to the Foundation for Equal Rights in Education.

With 60% of stocks now being traded by bots that fake each other out in order to create buying opportunities, stock exchanges have lost their connection to the reason markets are created in the first place. The exchanges no longer exist as places for people to buy and sell ownership in a corporation. They exist simply as the neural junctions of a conglomerated machine that plays tricks on itself, and your sole goal is no longer to invest, but to put money in the slot machine that is the quickest trickster.   Continue reading “Machine Mania in the Marketplace: How Computers Came to Own the World”

WEB Notes: In our world doctors are legal drug dealers, I am not talking bad about doctors. If one hits the mark, then it is what it is. If you are offended please reference the tip in this article. How many of you have been prescribed medications you really did not need? How many people do you know that are on 3-5+ medications. Are there no other ways to treat these problems? Of course there are. It starts with your dinner plate.

The United States needs to curb excessive opioid prescribing and improve access to pain management techniques, suggests a new government study.   Continue reading “More Than A Third Of US Adults Prescribed Opioids In 2015”

Those who believe that our own government is perfectly willing to commit an atrocity and then blame it on someone else tend to deny threats when they’re brought up consistently by the media. Let’s take the North Korea nuclear menace, for example.

I’ve been writing about the rising threat from North Korea for a long time and each time I publish a piece about their missile capability or some outrageous offense, it never fails that someone pops up and says, “North Korea doesn’t matter. The government is just making them the bad guy so the US can take military action and the people will support it.”  Continue reading “Here’s Why It Doesn’t Matter If North Korea Is Actually a Nuclear Threat”

A US court has ruled that a US citizen who spent more than three years in federal immigration custody can not sue, because his false imprisonment claim was “untimely.” The Jamaican-American was also denied the $82,500 settlement he previously won.

In a 2-1 vote on Monday, the Second US Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Davino Watson, a US citizen held in a New York detention center for 1,273 days, could not sue for damages.   Continue reading “US citizen in immigrant detention for over 3yrs has no right to sue, court rules”

LONDON (AP) — Three British men who dubbed themselves the “Three Musketeers” were convicted Wednesday of plotting a bomb attack on troops or police inspired by Islamic extremism. Jurors at London’s Central Criminal Court found 29-year-old Naweed Ali, 25-year-old Khobaib Hussain and Mohibur Rahman, 33, guilty of preparing terrorist acts, after a trial that was partly held in secret for national security reasons.

A fourth defendant, Tahir Aziz, was convicted of the same charge. Prosecutors say the 38-year-old was brought into the plot in its later stages. Ali, Hussain and Rahman met while serving prison terms for terrorism offenses, prosecutors said. They later set up a group on a messaging app called the “Three Musketeers.”   Continue reading “4 UK men convicted of plotting attack on soldiers, police”

Older people are dying on the job at a higher rate than workers overall, even as the rate of workplace fatalities decreases, according to an Associated Press analysis of federal statistics. It’s a trend that’s particularly alarming as baby boomers reject the traditional retirement age of 65 and keep working. The U.S. government estimates that by 2024, older workers will account for 25 percent of the labor market.

Getting old — and the physical changes associated with it — “could potentially make a workplace injury into a much more serious injury or a potentially fatal injury,” said Ken Scott, an epidemiologist with the Denver Public Health Department.   Continue reading “Older people dying on job at higher rate than all workers”

The key factor is: be a drug company.

In this case, Celgene. Their drugs are Thalomid and Revlimid. They are approved for multiple myeloma, one type of cancer.

Here’s the thing. Doctors can decide to prescribe drugs for uses which are not approved by the FDA, but the manufacturers can’t promote those “off-label” uses to doctors. That’s illegal.   Continue reading “Guide to paying a small fine and making billions”
