Blue collar workers: Tonight's Feel Good Story of The Day.

The electric vehicle of an unfortunate Washington, DC, tourist ran out of battery in the middle of a remote West Virginia road on Friday. Thankfully, a few unlikely good Samaritans were nearby to rescue the stranded traveler.
The wild sequence of events was recounted by Tucker County State Sen. Randy Smith (R) on Facebook, which occurred near a coal mine on Mettiki Coal access road U.S. 48, a few miles outside of Davis, West Virginia, according to WTRF.

Education will not — the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.

204 "I think that my biggest attribute to any success that I have had is hard work. There really is no substitute for working hard." Maria Bartiromo

True, BUT, although I like what Maria has been saying on Fox lately ... she was part of the Big Money from WallStreet games thang. Her hubby was making bucks off ? I forget, Micron? (MU) back in the day, while she was on air. ... anyway, seemed a little dirty to me.

BUT that was the way it worked ... and any of us with Mutual Funds were profiting, often as our nation was being sold out to China and BigCorp.

And that game continues ... have You All sold your BigCorp stocks, divested into ? local enterprise and ? vodka in the basement?

We did not sell China the rope to hand U.S., we bought them the rope, Hillary sold them the nuclear secrets, WallStreet sold them our industry, and all stockholders "Believed in The Dream" of free money from "Investing" in "globalism Utopia".

Special ed kids. Not enough support for mental health. And of course, they are underpaid and under appreciated.

They forced 6 year olds to wear masks and sit outside for lunch while the teachers were warm and cozy and dry in their teachers lounges.

-------------------
As long as it does not violate provisions of the US Constitution or federal laws under the commerce clause which specifically preempt states from making such laws, CA can raise wages and control prices under 10th Amendment reserved powers for states to regulate health, safety, and welfare. Even in precolonial times, colonies had quite a few regulations regarding hired help including wages and they also had price controls periodically usually when some key good was short. Given the vastness of the US, cities often exercised some of these same powers when the colony did not.

I think the most interesting relationship over either show was Kim and Jimmy. They cared deeply for each other but actively made each other give into their worst desires. Just watching the struggle of that relationship was riveting television. Plus i love the way Vince Gilligan uses things to tell stories within the story. The big one in BB was the color palettes each character had their own that evolved with their characters. In BCS the best one was Kim's wardrobe and ponytail. Both of the shows completely define next level story telling and story craftsmanship.

In September 1922 the expression was printed in “The Rotarian” magazine published by Rotary International. Many sayings were grouped together in a section called “Take It From Me—” by quotation collector and coiner Coleman Cox. The adage was finally credited Henry Dodd.

Henry Dodd says, “The reason most people do not recognize an opportunity when they meet it is because it usually goes around wearing overalls and looking like Hard Work.”

In later years the expression was assigned to other people, e.g., Paul Larmer, Lila Kroppmann, and Thomas Edison. The details are given further below.

This is true. Farmers do not keep steers on the farm just in case someone wants one during the off season. It takes $$ to feed them, keep them healthy over the winter...and if you want grass-fed, well, the grass season is coming to a close.

My suggestion is to find a local farmer (that butcher may be able to help) and arrange with the farmer for next year's beef. We just got our half beef delivered, so in truth, you are late to ask for it.

349 Of course, when teachers go on strike [in Seattle] for better working conditions, they often face charges about them not actually caring about students. Hoban said that sentiment couldn’t be further from the truth. Advocating for better pay is far from selfish, she said. The union wants teachers to make enough money to live in their communities and stay at their schools as experienced educators. If the district refuses to pay a fair wage to its workers, Hoban said some of her colleagues will go to another district that will or else quit teaching entirely.

I get the idea that states are sovereign, but for wage and price controls, the State must consider its sovereignty over the citizen to be absolute, so what is lost is the "Consent of The Governed", in that I, nor my neighbor has the ability to dictate to another man terms on which he may negotiate for labor and services. Since we as individuals don't have that right, how then can it be granted to the State?

IOW, it appears that part of the sovereign state is the implied ownership and mastery over its ~~citizens~~ subjects. Wage & Price controls implicitly declare that we are all chattel of the State.

i thought we fought a war over slavery.

McLean Gang, BC outlaws (fl 1879). Consisting of Allan, Charlie and Archie McLean and Alex Hare (all 4 of mixed blood), the gang lived by banditry and violence. On 8 December 1879 they killed John Tannatt Ussher, a Kamloops policeman who was arresting them for horse theft, and James Kelly, a shepherd. A posse trapped them in a cabin near Douglas Lake and after a short siege the gang surrendered. At the time Allan was 24, Charlie and Alex 17, and Archie 15. Tried in New Westminster, they were executed in a group hanging on 31 January 1881.

388 allowing wage and price controls, etc, was all part of FDR's socialization of the 1930's.
Posted by: Tom Servo at September 05, 2022 10:27 PM (r46W7)

Minimum wage and overtime were rules developed initially to exclude untrained labor out of the market. When the rules were set, the biggest suppressor of wages was availability of workers, at the time it was rural people moving to the cities to find work, generally unskilled, willing to work for lower wages since agricultural work was very poorly paid, and quite often, black.

Overtime rules do not affect agricultural wages, and when the rules were first established federally, most agricultural labor was paid on a piece rate or contract basis.

Davis-Bacon rules were established for the same reasons.

389 The fallout of a prolonged strike would likely eclipse those from pandemic delays to ocean shipping because a foundational component of many supply chains would see its labor supply evaporate overnight, says Paterson. Ports would jam; trucking rates would soar; livestock would run out of feed. For that reason, Congress would likely intervene to delay or quickly end a strike, as it did during the last railroad strike in 1991. But lawmakers may not have much time: The deadline is just three days after the House of Representatives returns from recess.

4. Harvested a bumper crop of rocks, nay boulders from front meadow. I'm planning a miniature version of Stonehenge as next summer's project. You know how they say an iceberg is 7/8 submerged? Same is true of the rocks in my front yard.
5. Bit by bit replacing weeds with mountain grass.

Reading up on the abattoir they made of their reservation, they seemed to have a thing for killing people unable to fight back....I suspect one was the prime mover and the other kid once he realized "my life is fucked" killed the instigator.

Funny for a few reasons: 1) it is Canada they would probably not even make them serve 15 years and 2) the only way they would get the book thrown at them would be because the very leftoids that want to blow them would also need to virtue signal that killing first peoples is bad....(even when you are one)

452 We need to bring back the concept of outlawry, for desperadoes on the run from the law for violent crimes. "Wanted, Dead or Alive" posters, in post offices, and on the Internet. Open season on the perps for any civilian (just be certain of your ID, eh?). Civilians not required to accept a surrender, only law enforcement is obliged to accept a surrender. And, as in the Geneva Conventions, false surrender gets the perp a bullet, on the spot, no trial.

About 250 PSI. Acetylene is a special case. Cylinders contain a absorbent packing saturated with acetone, and the acetylene is dissolved in that, like a giant aerosol can. Acetylene is inherently unstable, and if compressed "dry" in a cylinder to too great a pressure, can explode spontaneously.

Fuller's Earth. Some kind of unique riverbank sand with special porosity, it absorbs and acts like a molecular shock absorber to the unstable acetylene molecules. At least, that's the way my H.S. metal shop instructor taught it.

Buckley the wonder dog and I have a routine. He is up and wants out around 5 a.m. I turn on the porch light for a bit, then open the door and do a visual check of the deck. Once the coast is clear He goes out on the deck and lies down in a surveillance pose, scanning the limits of the lit area for several moments, while staying on the deck. Once he is sure there aren't any critters of concern he leaves the deck to the gravel parking area, does his business, then lays down in the gravel and just surveys his domain for about 20-30 minutes. By then the sky is starting to lighten up. Comes back in for a nap.

519 I accidentally fucked over a couple people at a self-service bar last night.

We stopped for the night at a casino hotel after a long, long day of loading/driving the U-Haul. After I got the toddler tucked in, I figured I'd go to the casino bar for a shot and a beer and then tuck myself in.

I picked out the "secondary" bar casinos have, the one with video poker built in, where the real compulsive gamblers hang out, because those are always quieter and less hectic. A couple guys were sitting there hitting the machines, drinking beers.

After ten minutes with no bartender, I found an employee and asked if I could get someone to serve a drink. "That bar is closed on Sundays. Only the main bar is open. Video poker only," he says. "Aw, c'mon," I reply, "those guys got served!"

He perked right up, and that's when we figured out these bold gentlemen had been sneaking behind the bar and grabbing beers from the unattended mini-fridge. Who dares, wins (until some douchebag blows their cover).

520 Don't research that too deeply. My wife and I started comparing notes about family names and discovered our lines crossed way back in the 1700's and then again in the mid 1800's.
We were only creeped out for a short time luckily.
Posted by: Tonypete at September 05, 2022 11:43

Yeah, you shouldn't be creeped out. W/ lack of mobolitiy people often md neighbors, who might be related to a degree.

Odd thing, I've a liking for redheads. Met my wife at ISU, Normal IL in the 1970s. To be blunt, nice breasty redhead.

Turns out in the 1600s our families lived about 10 miles apart in the Scottish borderlands. Yeah, we might be distantly related. They say you are attracted to your own clan/kind.

Small world story. My second year in school ih Hew Orleans I rented the downstairs of a two-story home about two blocks off Audubon Park from an an old lady whose family had been well-to-do down in Plaquemines Parish. Her uncle was the big political boss or somesuch. Forty some year later, in southern Colorado, I'm chatting with the brother of a neighbor who lives up the road a ways, from Louisiana. Turns out this guy knows the people who owned most of that particular street in N.O. and probably did some maintenance work on that same house back in the day.

We've had something similar to this in our town for awhile: they give you some kind of digital wristband that you waved in front of one of dozens of taps of all manner of beer & wine -- and it measures & tracks how much your pour by the ounce.

When you leave, you return your wristband, they total up all the ounces poured, and then charge you for the total (can't remember but the price likely was advertised & varied by each type poured.)

536 Have mentioned this before, but when I'd go to Jazzfest every year (late 80s/early 90s) I would survey the progam (it was up two 4-day "weekends" by then). About 80-90% of the talent was local. This of course included household names, but the amazing part were the dozens of great unkowns. And the gospel tent was often the best of all (all local churches).

Just perusing that program and attending the fest was a striking illustration of the unbelievable musical wonder that is (was?) New Orleans.

Shooting Partner and friend since he was in MedSchool, did his residency at Detroit Receiving, for exactly such reasons.

He's now a TX Board Certified E.R. doc, serves on a municipality SWAT element as Team Medic, and many other qualifications, besides. To list more, would be to provide doxx to unwanateds. This, though. I can run neck n' neck with him through any handgun course. I'm good, and so is he. Rifles though?

549 Miklos we (always met a friend and his wife, his father lived across the river, we'd stay there) rarely went on the actual weekend days, usually just Thurs and Fri. Saturday we'd do something else (like a swamp tour down in Slidell), and Sunday was for relaxercising (beignets you know where) after being up all night to see BB at Tip's, followed by Camelia Grill.

So we avoided the crowds, and the lines (back then). Even inside, we did not put a priority on the big names, as even on Thursday they'd have more of a crowd.

Of course a lot of that body's efforts have always been aimed at blocking adoption of borrow words, which has been a special challenge since WWII, when English was the language of everything dynamic and happening, from fashion to music to technology.

He masterfully wove into his commentary about a dozen French words and phrases we use in English. Whole thing, tongue in cheek, with Sevareid's trademark poker face delivery. I saw it live (I was precocious and watched TV news at age 1 and a half, yeah, that's it) and even then loved it.

590 Scuse me Miklos, but I've never met a Presbyterian Hungarian. Perhaps he was hungry Presbyterian?

I've known a few of those in my family before holiday meals.

Hungary only has one main Protestant group, called Calvinists (Kalvinista).

Pretty much Presbyterians.

Let me once again get in a plug in for the Tucker interview with Mattias Desmet, the Mass Formation guy:

https://tinyurl.com/2jpkqtwn

Desmet gets quite profound here. This guys knows what time it is, and knows what the fuck he's talking about.

Posted by: publius, Rascally Rapscallion (Mzdiz) at September 06, 2022 03:43 AM (Mzdiz)

618
There at the last, after going through the whole mass formation thing, gets into some deep profundity with Tucker about the problem we're facing: The technocratic, mechanistic rational fallacy. To wit, the belief that life and the universe can be understood completely by rational analysis, reductionism, and therefore controlled. Man will become god by science, IOW.

That is the fallacy we're operating under, and that completely destroys the meaning of life.

Whether or not it can be done conceptually i believe is an open question.

Whether or not humans can do it is a resounding no.

Godel's Incompleteness Theorems pretty much get you there already. There is no finite description of reality.

The point Desmet was making there goes beyond that. Consider "beauty". Say you see a beautiful sunrise, some beautiful landscape scene that causes some profound experience. Or say some passage of music that has some profound effect on you.

Is there any rational, reductionist explanation for that? To even try diminishes the experience.
