At What Cost

Posted in Uncategorized by

From time to time, I have had reason to seek a cost. Sometimes, honestly I realize I will never be able to afford the product. Other times, I realize the product might one day be within my reach.

The other day I asked the price of a med, knowing I can’t afford it, but I must. My life might very well depend on it. A so it was, yesterday, I bought 30 pills at just a little over 10 dollars a pill. It’s for a blood clot. At least for the short term, that will be added to my my monthly cost of drugs. It is already a lot despite Medicare and insurance.

So, hopefully, the little pills will permit me to survive, but at what price? The drugs had genuine empathy for me, but she did need to pay for the pills and make a little profit.

I keep seeing those commercials on TV, you know the ones about the implanted teeth. I don’t have the money, but I was a little curious. I went up one side of the internet and down the other and could not find one place where I could find a broad guess.

I know there are variations, but I would not expect as much as they would like us to think. I’m sure, by now, it has become somewhat standard. Surely they have standard prices they give insurance companies.

Now me, especially after the new price to my meds, there is simply no way I could afford them. If my teeth get so bad, I’ll just have go without. It is something of an encouragement to brush and floss.

So, let’s assume you, a multi-millionaire, are the one who is going to have the full implant. Let’s say you meet people daily and you need to make a good impression.

You walk into the store and say, “How much for a full set of teeth?” I don’t think you will get an answer but a question. I don’t have any idea why it works that way, but it does seem to be a hard fast rule.

I got on the phone one day trying to get a price on something and a very nice woman answered and the first thing she said was ask for my address.

That prompted me to scratch my head. “You need my name and address before…”

I’m sure you get the idea. Sometimes, I need to know the price for planning. Sometimes, I need to know the price to see if I can afford or if I will need another approach.

Rich folks don’t need to ask or know prices. Maybe this is the way they make sure to keep the riff-raff out of their clientele. If so, it works.

I find myself a little confused as to how end this. Maybe it is because there is no end. On the other hand it just might be I’m no good at writing. I tried to solve that, really I did. Those editors want a bunch of money too.

Exodus 23:8

Posted in Uncategorized by

The man wasn’t rich, but he had money. Anonymously, he purchased an organ for the church. Then, at the business meetings, he was likely to remind everyone. From time-to-time, he did remind the other members of the church the importance of his tithe to the church.

It is a strange thing that money does to people. I certainly agree with the man who said, I’m not greedy. All I need is enough to buy all I need and all I want. Certainly I don’t need a dollar more.

We like to think that bribery stops at the sanctuary walls. However, it is commonplace. I am sure most, if not all pastors who have been around for a while have seen similar stories to be true as is the story I explained above.

That lobbying goes both ways. The Catholics promised redemption for cash. There are many who think their 10% will gain them a place in paradise.

I don’t know how many times the Bible speaks of bribes and it is never in a good context. Just look it up in a concordance some day. Bribes distort the judgements of the judge. They blind the leaders and the almost always result in the poor being treated unjustly and badly.

It was what corrupted the leadership of the Jews in the day Jesus confronted the money changers. God has a very low regard of those that offer or accept the bribes.

We, as Americans, like to think we live in a society where bribes are rare and punished when they are found. But it’s not true. Indeed, it has become commonplace and institutionalized. We call those that bribe lobbyists. We call those that accept them congressmen. Regardless of what they are called, it is what they are.

Moreover, it is because of this bribery that we can’t close the border. Mostly the bribery takes place among the dems but there are a number of rinos that accept the bribes too, completely legally.

In this country, bribes commonly take place in law too. They speak of them as non-disclosure agreements. They are not only legal but very common. They are used to avoid the cost and public annoyance resulting from an attempt at blackmail.

The agreement quite simply is, I pay you…you agree to stop blackmailing me. It is a binding contract and both parties can be sued for breaking the contract.

Even more, the blackmailer emplicates him/herself. In essence it is an admission of guilt of blackmail.

Trump was being blackmailed, illegal whether he was guilty or not. Why aren’t those who blackmailed being charged. Why are these women being charged with breach of contract.

Most important, why are these women coming forward just now, knowing what will happen if they are found guilty of blackmail.

My guess. Most likely, one more bribe, offered by the dems in hopes of destroying Trump. Ironically, most of us are figuring it out and instead of trump’s numbers plummeting, they are rapidly going skyward.

As we in the south like to say, irregardless…bribes, taking and giving is wrong. God knows exactly how to deal with them. Lightning is but one of his many ways to deal with the gross sinner. Many of us have learned that first hand.

Measles Outbreak

Posted in Abuse of Power, Christian values, Coronavirus, Deceit, Elections, Lawyers and Representation, Plutocrat, President Trump by

Before the mid 1960s measles outbreaks were common. 2 or more million died every year world wide. To most, it was a very irritating rash. To others it was devistating.

Moreover, to catch it, one only breathe while in the room with someone who has it. It is one of the most infectious diseases known to mankind.

In the past few decades, it has been on the decline. In the US, the vaccine had the disease virtually eliminated. Now, I note on the news that there is a major outbreak. Oddly, they seem to be having difficulty figuring why or where it has come from.

Let me give you a hint. Millions have been crossing our border. No one has been screenning them. We have no idea how many had measles… mumps, whooping cough, polio or any of those other horrible little monsterous viruses. Do you suppose anyone has a clue as to how many brought the China virus with them from Mexico.

Those little virus things are really good at hitch hiking. It is why immigrants were isolated for a while before they were permitted to actually enter our country in early 1900s. Back then, we actually had some intelligece on such matters. Now, not so much. Now the diseased bring those little hitch hikers with the help of the dems.

So, if your child has come down with measles, or for that matter, mumps, small pox or any of those other horrid diseases, you might want to thank the dems. President Trump did have those coming across the border to a trickle.

The dems and the rinos did not like that. The rinos were already complaining that they were having to pay higher wages. The dems were angry that they would have to give up future voters.

And so it is, for lower wages and future power, your child must endure the suffering of measles and or many other dreaded diseases. (Just so you know… they don’t care.)

If your child suffered, or possibly died from one of those hitch hickers, was the open border worth it. Do you really want the borders left open. Are you really in favor of letting those micro-hitckers into the states so they can spread and cause grief to others.

The Patriot Act

Posted in Uncategorized by

It was passed to protect the US from the likes of those that destroyed the Trade Towers. The Unjustice Department has used it to go after every but enemies of the country. This certainly includes Trump, his friends & relatives as well as anyone they consider a threat to their power.

The Patriot Act has made it a time for patriots to fear the system we call the government. I think it was better when the government feared patriots, like Trump.

What If?

Just had an odd thought. Just what if Old Joe ends up in court facing charges of accepting bribes. Then to avoid the trial he seeks to claim he’s to senile to properly aid in his defense?

It would keep Old Joe out of prison, but it sure would give the dems a black eye. Then again, they’d not care, as long as it did no damage to their power structure. The dems are beyond being embarrassed.
