Random Thoughts or Whatever

Well, rubbing someone's buns can get you a snub, but having your buns rubbed is not a snub, perhaps quite the opposite...:idea:

CHINA TRADE DECLINES IN JULY 2023

BRICS to the rescue? Hardly, LOL.
 
Found my 1st yellow labeled 'SUN' LP yesterday at the Salvation Army - Elvis. It's been played a lot, a bit beat up, I was stoked!! Sun Records!! Looked it up on eBay - dime a dozen in perfect shape. :dunno:

But... also found a M- 'Ruben and the Jets' LP! I believe it's the 1st Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention album. Played it last night - it's 'different but it's pretty darn good.

To interpret this data it is absolutely necessary to define the axis - that is in thousands of persons, total, in the entire labor force. That is to say, the number of people who are both working and receiving benefits for their disability has increased from below 4500 people in 2014 to about 7800 currently.

We can confidently agree that there are far more than 7,800 total people in the work force who have a serious disability. There are two in my extended family. There is at least one at any given moment in every Walmart I've ever set foot in. My elementary school janitor. My highschool janitor. The janitor of the library where i briefly went to college. Probably 50,000 janitors lol at least. It is so common, that we made a movie about it.

This is a graph depicting American cognitive dissonance. It is extremely difficult verging on impossible for most people who have a serious disability to achieve access to benefits. Meanwhile the pundits bemoan the propagandistic concept of the "welfare queen." They quibble over what this data clearly shows to be an absolutely microscopic amount of money out of the budget. Furthermore, it is clear that a tiny fraction of the appropriated funds are being distributed to recipients....

I'm at where stairs are a challenge as is staying vertical under less than ideal circumstances, and getting off the floor more so when it doesn't go right.
Still walk an hour most mornings, not playing pennis.
