Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Wednesday Overnight Open Thread (6/19/19)Quote I “It’s bullshit. We lost. Suck it up. I don’t like harvesting, but suck it up.” “We got a problem here in Orange County. Instead of bitching and crying [about ballot harvesting], go do it yourself. It’s legal.” Mission Viejo’s Republican Mayor Greg Raths Quote II “It [Communism] is not new. It is, in fact, man's second oldest faith. Its promise was whispered in the first days of the Creation under the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil: "Ye shall be as gods." It is the great alternative faith of mankind. Like all great faiths, its force derives from a simple vision. Other ages have had great visions. They have always been different versions of the same vision: the vision of God and man's relationship to God. The Communist vision is the vision of Man without God. Quote III "I also want to thank, in particular, the federal protective service whose officers saved who knows how many people this morning by responding to the active shooter situation by neutralizing the shooter," "These guys are our heroes today. We owe them a debt of gratitude." Erin Nealy Cox, U.S. Attorney Quote IV "I was OK with being a drug addict. I was OK with that being my life. But I wasn't OK with having kids and letting that be part of my life." Amelia (Last name withheld) Quote V "True Conservatives" They're diseased whores who used to suck off the right for money, and now they suck off the left. Either way, their only marketable skill is sucking people off. Ace Quote VI “What’s at stake here is not my future, or ours, or even our family’s. We will be fine,” Sullivan continued. “What is at stake are the values that underwrite the best traditions of higher education, the very same traditions that have sustained Harvard for nearly 400 years. In America, everyone is entitled to a defense, in America, everyone is presumed innocent until proven guilty, and in America, everyone is entitled to due process of law under our Constitution.” Ronald Sullivan So, the world's population is expected to stop growing by the end of the century. For the first time in modern history, the world’s population is expected to virtually stop growing by the end of this century, due in large part to falling global fertility rates, according to a Pew Research Center analysis of new data from the United Nations. By 2100, the world’s population is projected to reach approximately 10.9 billion, with annual growth of less than 0.1% – a steep decline from current levels. Between 1950 and today, the world’s population grew between 1% and 2% each year, with the number of people rising from 2.5 billion to more than 7.7 billion. The ONT is always looking out for you. Tonight is no different. The ten most dangerous countries in the world. Our advice, stay away at vacation time. The ongoing domestic and international conflict category includes deaths from organized conflict and relations with neighboring countries. The societal safety and security category includes political instability, violent crime, and the incarcerated population. The militarization category includes access to weapons and weapons imports and exports. In 2019, overall global peacefulness increased for the first time in five years, but the world is still less peaceful than it was 10 years ago, the report says. This year, Afghanistan replaced Syria as the least peaceful country in the world. Children have been raised a certain way for most of human history, but only in the last half-century has the approach to parenting drastically changed. Families have gone from having natural births, shared rooms, physical contact, and frequent breastfeeding to delivering by C-sections, sleeping in separate bedrooms, formula feeding, and emphasizing 'personal space' at home. While these changes have improved mortality rates and infant health in many cases, they have also come at a cost to the mental and emotional development of children whose brains are wired for a different kind of upbringing than the one they're getting.Any parent who walks their child with a kiddy leash at the mall ought to be .......... The Parable of the Nazi Pizza. Race is a valuable commodity. That’s a simple truth, in the advertising world as well as in Hollywood. And just as race is a valuable commodity, so is racism. In fact, I’d argue that racism sells even better than race. A person whose race is X will see an attractive actor of X in a commercial, and that person might—might—be tempted to purchase the product being advertised because the commercial pitchperson looks like them. It’s a decent advertising strategy, but by no means guaranteed to work. On the other hand, if the person whose race is X sees an online essay or article that attacks people who are X, it’s damn near certain that the person of X will get angry and make an outrage post in which the offending link is shared. The awesome online power of race is nowhere stronger than in the world of opinion journalism. Nothing gets social media more riled up than opinion pieces about race. People love approvingly sharing posts that insult other races, and people love angrily sharing posts that insult their own race. Race gets hits. The problem is, our benevolent media overlords are supposedly working to cleanse racism from the internet. So, how do you fight racism while still benefiting from the ad-rate-setting clicks, likes, and shares that are generated by provocative pieces that deal in racial hatred? I’ll answer that question with the Parable of the Nazi Pizza. Using canned chicken breast in a pinch is understandable. But, a whole canned cooked chicken? John Kay solo work between Steppenwolf reunifications. A drunk driver was arrested last week for driving a tank through the streets of Pajęczno, Poland. The vehicle, a Soviet T-55 tank that's at least 60 years old, belonged to the Polish military. But on June 12 shortly before 10pm it looked like it was attacking residents, who quickly called police. According to Polish newspaper Twoje Pajęczno, the unnamed driver, 49, was only responsible for putting the tank on and off its trailer. But the trailer broke and, when it was being repaired, he drunkenly decided to take the war machine out on a joyride. By the time the cops arrived, he had parked the 40-ton machine, which was uninsured, on a main street and was standing nearby. Another man, believed to be his passenger, was also present. It's not clear if the muddled motorist caused any permanent damage to Mickiewicza Street but he was arrested and, once he sobered up, questioned by police. He faces up to eight years in prison if charged with creating "direct danger of a catastrophe in land, water or air traffic," or two years for driving under the influence.

That chicken in the can...shudder Posted by: IC at June 19, 2019 10:12 PM (fiC74) There is a sci-fi story about a small, heavy planet crustacean-like species that was laying siege to a human space station, but could not get in between the orbital defenses. Faced with the prospect of a Human relieving fleet, the aliens devised a Trojan horse like plan. The station was known to be short of rations, so a full battalion of the aliens were packed into ration cans, in life suspense gel and in a human cargo hull that had been captured, they pretended to chase it into the orbital defenses where it was "rescued" by Human defenders. The idea was that the starving humans would open the cans, be overwhelmed, and the planet would fall before the Human fleet arrived. The last scene of the story was the Human crew saying, "food at last, we can survive" and "Yeah, I opened one can and the lobster attacked me, so now I just punch holes in the cans and drop them into boiling water.

And you can make his hair look all sorts of silly, with different styles, colors, etc. So one of my kids it's the mostest awesomest thing ever. And she asked me if I thought the makers of the game liked or hated Trump, ie did they do this to make him look dumb or are tehy fans of his and they made it as a way for people who like him to have some fun.
And I was pleased she asked that. That's a smaaaaht kid who is 10+ years away from being able to vote. Posted by: Lurking Lurker at June 19, 2019 10:30 PM (FiUMj) 124

Missed the subtext of the "world population is stabilizing" - Africa's population is supposed to go from a billion today to 4.3 billion in 2100 - almost as much as Asia.
The five countries accounting for more than half the world's forecasted population growth are Nigeria, Republic of the Congo, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Angola, and Pakistan. This is good, because all these countries are very well governed, and will doubtless become even better governed as their populations grow rapidly.

"God made man in his image"
no man has seen God at any time ... God is Spirit. Man was formed of the dust, and God breathed in his soul life. That is now natural man today. But God man Adam in his image. Then God told Adam (and Eve) "in the day you eat of it (that tree), you shalt surely die". So it makes sense to me, the part of Adam that died was the spirit ... he lost the holy spirit connection with God when he decided to disobey. He lived on as a body/soul natural man long after that. The second Adam faced a free will choice as well, to obey his Father God (not my will but thine be done) ... or to accept "all the kingdoms of this world will I give thee" from Satan (god of this world). JC chose to obey, not let that cup pass from him, suffer and die and be raised to sit at the right hand of God. Jesus obeyed ... but had any of the princes of this world known (that Christians would also receive holy spirit because JC had redeemed us from first Adam's sins) ... had they known, "they would not have crucified the Lord of Glory" (our risen brother, and high priest forever, JC) That's a good story. Now we have holy spirit, the spirit of sonship. reconciled with God. We might do by nature the things in "the law", but we don't obey the law to get righteousness. In culture we do things which our belief in a higher power suggests, out of free will. We don't allow government to control us, and we fight any force (government or otherwise) that tries to force our nation/people into submission. The end. Our sin nature is not the image of God. We can will to do good but fall short .. we still have free will, but a permanent sonship spirit, for Christians. hurray. Posted by: illiniwek at June 19, 2019 10:39 PM (Cus5s) 189

I think everyone paying attention across the country is noticing, but nobody wants to say, that Summer is almost a full month late this year.

The Democrats have a 44 - 25 pct voter registration advantage in Cali so they have a massive advantage in votes they can harvest. Bottom line is the GOP will be completely wiped out as in there will be zero point zero Republicans in any office anywhere in California in roughly 3 election cycles with harvesting. The GOP had a large disadvantage before the vote harvesting legislation and could rely on the general laziness of the Democrat block to give them wins in some counties but with harvesting, you don't even need to turn out the voter, you just collect "absentee" ballots. That is how they flipped Orange County from majority GOP to completely turned over to the Dems. Every GOP candidate had a lead after the polls closed and the real time votes had been counted, within a day and half the Democrats 'harvested' enough votes to win every seat. The Mayor is typical GOPe oxygen thief and the reason the GOP is a non-entity in California. Posted by: Radical Centrist at June 19, 2019 10:59 PM (5eETw) 283

137 Missed the subtext of the "world population is stabilizing" - Africa's population is supposed to go from a billion today to 4.3 billion in 2100 - almost as much as Asia.
The five countries accounting for more than half the world's forecasted population growth are Nigeria, Republic of the Congo, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Angola, and Pakistan. This is good, because all these countries are very well governed, and will doubtless become even better governed as their populations grow rapidly.

Bottom line is the GOP will be completely wiped out as in there will be zero point zero Republicans in any office anywhere in California in roughly 3 election cycles with harvesting.
The GOP is already effectively wiped out here. They hold no major statewide office, no mayorship in a major city. They don't have enough seats in the CA legislature to propose or impede legislation. And they've pretty much given up any pretense of being conservative - they're position as "Democrat lite". There's no solution for CA but to let it burn. Once the state runs out of money, the wards of the state will leave and we might (might) get some sane politicians in office. Posted by: Ace's liver at June 19, 2019 11:03 PM (h2Bdk) 293

The spot in North Africa that has the potential to be flooded is known as the Qattara Depression - deepest point, 436 feet below sea level. Because it is mostly salt beds and other very dry dusty materials, heavy vehicles attempting to go through it would quickly see their air filters clog up, and without heavy filters, engines would seize up. So, tactics at the battles of El Alamein were guided by the needs of both armies to go to great lengths to avoid going through the Qattara.

The interesting thing is that to flood the Qattara, all that would be needed would be for a canal to be cut, then it would fill itself. The micro-climate created by the existence of a new arm of the sea could drastically change the rainfall amounts, and thus the habitability, of much of Egypt and the Sinai. And nothing would be lost, since the Qattara is so harsh there is only one small human settlement in the entire thing.

Okay, on my desktop and a bit less groggy from the SS Xanax, so let's ry to use some brainthought words instead of whatever Luis Buneul stream-of-consciouss I was doing early tonight.
So even before this happened, I was getting pretty damn fed up with women. Whether it's Beto's wine moms or the AOC super chicas, they're doing their level best to ruin politics. I find them almost all be immature, unstable, and narcissistic, but with an ego more fragile than a fabrege egg) I haven't had a single position experience with a female that isn't a family member with the last, maybe, 5 years?? My new controller was a woman, and I loved working with her. She left - she claims forced out by the Board. My old best friend ghosted me for two and a half years and only started talking again in April. My grandma and aunts adore mde and I love them but they're IINNNSAAAAANEEEEE. My last two exes before this one gave the same varioation of an "its not you its me" to avoid telling me the truth. And that's another thing I'm really fed up with, is being lied to, even for supposedly noble reasons. And boy oh boy are women great liars and they can do it to your face with a smile.

In the winter the motto was party because it's winter. Funny thing about the two winters I spent in Alaska was that they were unusually warm and wet. It would snow, but then it would warm into rain, and we would have to walk and drive in snow covered in thick ice. the Hawaiian express, they called it. Not a fan.

Okay northern friends..I may be headed to Calgary for a few days on a business trip. Anything fun to do there?
Posted by: IC at June 19, 2019 10:35 PM (fiC74) Well, you could meet me, and I will buy you a drink. Or dinner. I don't live in Calgary, but I am less than an hour and a half away, so it's no hardship for me to go there. Generally visit there once a week, or so. Calgary has lots of attractions. Stampede is coming up, if you like rodeo. Royal Tyrrell Museum in Drumheller is about an hour away, if you want to see dinosaurs. Banff/Lake Louise is about an hour away, too. MisHum should have my e-mail, since I sent him a doggeh pic a few days ago. And I specifically OK him releasing it to you. Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at June 19, 2019 11:53 PM (WG6O9) 448

Any parent who walks their child with a kiddy leash at the mall ought to be ..........
Not ashamed? Sorry, MisHum, but I'm going to disagree with you on this one, because I have a High INT Low WIS score child. From age 2-4, Pookette would. Not. Hold. Hands. Ever. And before you say, "Let her face the consequences," the consequences in this case would be getting run over by a pickup truck (almost happened twice) or getting kidnapped (she's a nightmare to try to find in a library). We were basically saving her from being a Darwin Award recipient for two years by using that leash. She kind of gets the danger now, but not enough that I let her cross the street by herself. Actual conversation from yesterday: "Please don't run into traffic like that!" (I grab her squirmy little hand) "Otherwise what?" "Well, you might get run over." "And then what?" "Well, you'll pretty much be flattened on the road, like a pancake."

Calgary is probably ultra liberal and Trudeau supporters. Canada is like the US...no such things as red/blue provinces it's blue cities and red counties (or whatever the version of that color scheme is, I think blue = conservative right?).
Posted by: Lurking Lurker at June 19, 2019 10:41 PM (FiUMj) Calgary is very much divided. You have a lot of oilpatch people, who are not liberal, and then you have a mess of government drones and Turd Wurld immigrants, who very much are. Edmonton (aka Redmonton) is much more uniformly Liberal. Or socialist, as if it made a difference. And rural Alberta is die-hard conservative.

The important thing is that you are in the line. Because, line.

Broseidon,
I mentioned this briefly the other day, but my sons have been having the same problems. Bot are good men, both have good jobs. Neither does drugs, nor inks much (not even close to what I do). Younger son is not religious, but has a very solid moral code. Elder son is a deacon in his small Christian church. And yet, neither can find the right woman. Neither could be called "playas," but both are very functional in society. To put it bluntly, any woman would lucky to be with them. And yet (probably a good thing) my sons have rejected a lot of young women who are, to put it bluntly, damaged. This really is not a pep talk, Broseidon. It's more of a "You're not alone" thing. Probably not very helpful. Sorry, man. I'll shut up now. Posted by: Pug Mahon at June 20, 2019 12:11 AM (SUV+r) 507

The state depends inordinately on rich people for revenue.
It gets better - California is considering a forty percent inheritance tax on all estate amounts over $3.5 million up to the Federal estate tax threshold of $11.4 million, including gifts during ones lifetime, and generation-skipping trusts. Houses in decent shape in Silicon Valley now sell for $2-$4 million. if this passes, if you are worth $10 million, you will be handing over $2.6 million to California when you die.

What exactly happens when a state goes broke?
Posted by: Blonde Morticia's phone at June 20, 2019 12:14 AM (IP7VM) That's a really good question. Nobody really knows the answer. A country could just print more money. They might end up with hyperinflation, but they'd never go broke. A lot of people think Congress would be forced (forced!) to shovel a bunch of sweet, sweet federal lucre California's way, but I'd be surprised if that's the way it works out.

Would a single man think it worthwhile waiting until the age of 50 to find the right mate?
That's what I did. The young ladies at my office were all "I WANT THAT!" but I doubt they'd be able to appreciate it the way I did, or cherish my husband the way I did. The time it took to find him was what made it so great. He felt the same way. Now some people would look at it from the other perspective "woe is me, now I'm too old to have kids" or any one of dozens of negative thoughts. Some people invite misery into their lives and cling to it. They simply cannot do gratitude. Posted by: Miley, the Duchess at June 20, 2019 12:18 AM (NMAzL) 534

This may be why the state is hesitating.

My adult sons (nearly the same age as Bro) have had very similar problems regarding women. Both of my sons are hardworking. Both are ridiculously intelligent and, frankly, funny as hell. Both are fully functional in society. Neither drinks much, nor do drugs. They do not have tattoos. they are well-groomed. They both own their own cars. They are paying back their student loans. In short, both of my sons are good husband material. And yet, again and again, they are disappointed by the young women they become acquainted with. Frankly I find it bizarre.

I think of Eleanor of Aquitaine in "Lion in Winter" when she tells Henry, "Lost your life's work? I can take defeats like yours and laugh, I've done it." To thine own self be true, and everything else is easy come, easy go. I've made large sums of money at times through no special skill of my own - I've lost large sums of money at times through no fault of my own. I've had friends and family who I cared deeply about fade out of my life - I've watched friends and family who I loved placed under the dirt. I've been threatened, for real - I have threatened, for real. I've been spindled, folded, and mutilated, and put back together to try it all over again. To thine own self be true, and as to the rest, you're not in charge of what happens, you're just along for the ride. Try to laugh about it as much as you can, cuz in the end that's the only thing that can really help you get through it all. Posted by: tom servo at June 20, 2019 12:41 AM (V2Yro) 600

It's fucking tough out there.
I don't believe modern feminism has done women any favors. IMO of course. Posted by: Puddleglum at June 20, 2019 12:40 AM (WNAuL) I think it's both easier and tougher for young guys today, depending on who you are. For the 20% most attractive, these are the good old days. They can use Tinder to sleep with women as often as they care to. What economists call "friction" costs are really low. Your dating pool used to be relatively small - people you met at school, church, at work. But now they're just an app away. You don't have to spend any time actually meeting people. You don't have to spend any time trying to get to know a girl. If she doesn't put out, just "next" her. There's always another. For the rest of the guys it's tough. In the old days we did assortive mating - female fives would date and marry male fives. But we don't do that any more. Because the matching costs are so low, the top guys get the lion's share of female attention and the rest get little or none. It doesn't really work out for women, either. When all the women are competing for one guy in five their bargaining power is zilch. I'm glad my dating years ended in the last century.

Two things: women gets all sorts of social reinforcement now for thinking very highly of themselves. The fives think that they are all eights. In any case, a limited dating pool would cause reality to intrude pretty quickly. Now, they can maintain the illusion that one of the host of alpha males online will eventually pay attention to them.

Cologne comes from eau de Cologne, which is to say water from Cologne, but it's really Echt Kölnisch Wasser. It's called 4711 because it's from 4711 Some Street in Köln. Köln is funny because it's the Krautish name for the town and usually the Krautish or the Anglish or the Saxish is the old form, but Köln (once Cöllen) got its name from being a Roman colony, Colonia Claudia Ara Agrippinensium. *throws down geek glove* Posted by: Bandersnatch at June 20, 2019 01:03 AM (fuK7c) 643

So, I had me a "fun" day. That T-storm last night dropped about two inches of rain on my place. The eavestroughs on the house channel water into an underground cistern smack up against the west wall of the foundation.
Now I have (well, had) an electric submersible pump in that cistern, with a float switch; to kick it on if the level in the cistern gets too high, namely about 2 feet below the rim of the access trunk. Too full, and it makes water seep through cracks in the foundation wall, and I get water in the basement. Not a flood, just damp floors. So, last night, I saw water seeping in. Today, i went and checked on the pump. It would not run. Tested the outlet. It was live. I went and got my little made-in-China 2" gasoline pump. Filled it with fuel, hooked up the suction and discharge lines, and it started first pull on the cord. Woo-Hoo! But it would not prime. Several efforts at priming failed, but I finally noticed that it was sucking in air from some place. Narrowed it down to the hammer union connecting the suction hose to the pump. Took that off, lubed the threads and coated the "O" ring with pipe dope, and put it back together. Bingo! It primed right up, and ran for about half hour, and sucked the cistern down to about 3 feet of water depth, where the suction hose began sucking wind. Good enough. I shut the fuel valve on the pump, and ran it until its little carbatooter was dry, and brought it back into the shop, and siphoned out the unused fuel. Put a few drops of fuel stabilizer in the tank, for good measure. So it will be ready when I next need it. I pulled the electric pump out of the cistern, and tore it down. Motor was burned out; some of the wire windings melted. I spent several hours salvaging the copper wire out of the field coils. It was there was to do. I think I might try rigging an old washing machine pump, driven by a surface-mounted motor through a long, long shaft. Those submersible pumps seem to have a short life span...

> A centrifugal pump from a washer, down in the hole, driven by a long shaft from a high-and-dry motor sounds like an answer for me.
Another option might be a pedestal-style sump pump. If you rigged it so that the motor was well above the maximum water level, it should do the trick. Posted by: Rodrigo Borgia at June 20, 2019 01:43 AM (Vy4a0) 675

I cannot work as hard as I used to and that throws me for a loop, still. ...but I am grateful to God for all that I have, all those who surround me and I continue to Count my Blessings every day.

O Divine Master, grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. -St. Francis That is pure Logos. Ethos and pathos are fine, but the former is Human and the latter is pathetic. ...literally. As I say so often... "One-Foot-In-Front-Of-The-Other" and allow the day to pass, as God willed it.

Actually, there is a good reason for me to stick with a centrifugal pump. I often use the cistern water to feed my pressure washer for washing the vehicles. Rain water is soft; doesn't leave spots like my very hard well water does. And the pressure washer would not like the output of a plunger pump.
And the nice thing about the centrifugal: if the outlet hose is blocked, it just keeps on churning away, no problem. Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at June 20, 2019 02:12 AM (WG6O9) 694

Here's a short video about the upcoming Falcon Heavy mission for the Department of Defense, currently planned for Monday night. It doesn't explain about the payloads, but shows the sequence of various burns and deployments.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLEuCn8RT14 It's around 24 different satellites for DoD, NASA, various universities, and a solar sail experiment for the Planetary Society. It's also a demonstration for the Air Force that they have capability to put different satellites into different orbits on one flight. While it isn't the heaviest payload they have launched, SpaceX has said that it will be their most complex and ambitious mission to date. Posted by: rickl at June 20, 2019 02:18 AM (sdi6R) 697

I found something interesting that Vox Day talked about on one of his streams. He was working-out a Male Socio-Sexual Hierarchy and it is intriguing, to say the least.
The goal of this Is NOT to figure out where you stand in the hierarchy, (even though men will, because we just do) but to Recognize it in others if you are looking to avoid problems; especially if you are the one doing the hiring, firing and management of employees. He has other videos where he goes into detail about each sect, but this one is comprehensive and very informative. It is Alphas, Bravos, Deltas, Gammas Sigmas and Omegas. 54:00 Run Time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-iwxu5t190 Posted by: Slapweasel, White Enthusiast, Blond at June 20, 2019 02:48 AM (Ckg4U) 714

I watch F-1 no more to see the grid girls than football to see cheerleaders, did notice kids doing it a few times this year but thought that was cultural.
Of course extremely pretty girls can always get work elsewhere and don't need to be grid girls. https://tinyurl.com/y5n22erx Posted by: Skip at June 20, 2019 05:23 AM (BbGew) 781

Hay, Horde.
Quick update on the security light from hell The electric company painted over the globe...just in time for a friend of the owner to arrive and inform them that the light is on the wrong pole. When the lineman took it down to move it he looked at it and said, "This light's been shot." Huh. Posted by: creeper at June 20, 2019 06:53 AM (ctmIP) 795
Poison ivy? Technu is good. But Dawn dish detergent and a coarse washcloth will take care of it, whenever you've been exposed. And wash your clothing. Urushiol oil lasts for over a year, and you could keep re-exposing yourself.
I try to avoid PI completely, since I'm so sensitive to it now. Posted by: Miley, the Duchess at June 20, 2019 06:54 AM (NMAzL) 796

LOL, Bruce. No shots hit the glass. I told the lineman those looked like a really big bullet holes and that the person who shot it must not have be n very good.

I do miss the old California, especially Southern California. I made at least 2 trips a year to mostly LA. Even downtown was okay, and except for the haze, I loved even driving on the freeways. Then the shooting started (remember those) Loved walking Hollywood Blvd, inexpensive motels, probably all gone now. We even had non-stop flights to LA, which are long gone.

2.36 in nearby Iowa compared to 2.61 in my part of IL. Add the 18 cent tax increase and that's 2.36 vs 2.79. After July first, you know the drill.

Yes it will, Bruce. The feeling of delight one gets from depriving Pritzker off some of money will be wonderful. And, as I've said before: while over in Iowa for gas, might as well do the rest of my shopping. No tax on food in Iowa. More tax dollars out of the repulsive Pritker's hands. It's a small thing, but righteous, none-the-less.
