It’s interesting how we
use words such as Form and Substance. Liberals are saying that this getting of
Carrier Air Conditioners to remain in the United States in Indiana is all Form
and no Substance. Substance can be used
to refer to three entirely different things if you think about it. First there is the substance of
perception. Can we see and feel and
taste something. Our personal
perceptions of an object are called “substance”. There is another kind of substance, which
some might call materiality. This refers
to things like weight and mass and its gravitational field. This is the “substance” of Einstein’s
universe and Einstein’s universe is literally shaped by this form of ether wave
involvement. But there is a third thing
we refer to as substance or “materiality” as the court system refers to
it. This is the substance meaning the
causing of Events to happen or the effects said events have on other
events. This is what is known as a
stream of causality. We respect people,
perhaps even Donald Trump with the ability to “make things happen” or get
things done. Get events done. As such this type of substance is the most
important one to a lot of people, particularly those in the law enforcement and
legal professions. We say “I will make A
happen” and “A” happens. We call this
being useful. Useful people get things
done. Useful people make things
happen. As to the charge that Carrier
Air Conditioning is holding the country hostage, I am not ready to fully embrace this line of
left-wing logic just yet. Give it
time. The line of reasoning goes that if
it becomes generally known that all you have to do is to say “We want Donald
Trump to meet our tax demands and other corporate favors and if he doesn’t we’re
moving to Viet Nam”, and then the Trump administration sees it’s unleashed a
monster. It’s kind of like a hostage
situation. These corporations now hold
the nation hostage. If you don’t meet
our demands for safe passage to Costa Rico with a hundred thousand dollars cash
we’re blowing up this building and all of the hostages with it”. Trump has no experience either in politics
or in law enforcement. And I question
his expertise in psychology to be able to pull off something like a successful
deal. Trump’s strength hasn’t been so
much in “making a good deal” but like Mitt Romney, it’s been in surrounding
himself with the “right people” who do his thinking for him and who know the
tax and corporate laws well, and is skillful at manipulating them. But the government is based on a whole
different premise rather than “making a profit” or “soaking the system for all
it’s worth”. Willy Brown knew how to
manipulate the law to get dangerous felons off from serving any hard time. We need a different sort of man for
president. We need a man who is FAIR and
is a REPRESENTATIVE of all the people. “The
People” are one thing Donald Trump seems to have forgotten completely
about. There are tax laws that are
supposed to be fair to ALL of the people.
And you don’t cheat the poor out of their meager savings to add to the
already fat wallets of the rich. This is
something Donald Trump seems completely unaware of. Hence liberals want to democratize
corporations with profit sharing plans and different sorts of responsibility chains
of command than the old top down pyramid system. It’s more of an interactive egalitarian
exchange. We don’t know what will happen
to the economy with Trump at the helm.
If he going to “Make prosperity happen” the way he made the Currier
thing happen. Or will Trump be exposed
as the Emperor who has no clothes? Only
time will tell.
MEANWHILE, BACK ON THE FARM (Monday) I weighed all of my options. I had $3.35 in my account and the instant
Nestcafe seemed to be the best option. I
paid for it with my debit card from Ben.
Bill gave me a cigarette. Before
dinner Mario gave me a long white short.
I realize I could have bought cigarettes if I’d done the twenty cent in
change thing with a dollar coffee in the morning. Sylvia brought over a tan blanket for me to
put on my bed. It’s if anything going to
be colder tonight. Larry gave me a
short. Right now I have Eye Witness
news on. We are in “Sunset” but probably
won’t be typing this on Thursday. We are
still without heat. It’s anyone’s guess
whether tomorrow Augustine will get the heat going. “Rogue I” is the latest Star Wars and it
takes place between “Revenge of the Sith” and “A New Hope” or episodes three
and four. Did they name a car after
it? Last
night Kansas City played the Broncos and I had the game on only a minute or
so. “Eye on LA” featured Union Station
and a train ride from Los Angeles to Santa Barbra, and after this a simulated
Pan Am flight of forty years ago when Pan Am was in its hay day. That’s what they said. Sixty Minutes had this Italian leader who
wants to make a Mackavellian grab for more governmental power in Italy. Then they had a double segment on Alzheimers
and these families in the mountains of Columbia with a dominant Alzheimers
gene. They can easily test anyone for
that gene now but normal Alzheimers comes from a different gene. They are testing for plaque on the
brain. Then it was NCIS LA and I dozed
off despite having drunk instant coffee.
Bill says to hide that tan blanket or Nora will take it. I got up at a quarter to six. I got my medication from Ida this morning and
April last night at about 7:35 when I checked.
I had the Rude Pundit on the Stephanie Miller show. We had Raison Bran for breakfast. I greedily went to the counter for my bowl
from Rico and I crossed the room for milk and juice while my table mates just
waited patiently. We had scrambled eggs
and an English muffin and butter and jelly.
The coffee was pretty good and served in a white cup. I poured myself seconds from the pot in the
kitchen. We’re on the white bar
now. Bill I s back to having meals in
his room after seeing down in the dining room a couple of times.
