I've been waiting for the mind numbing brought on by the last election cycle to wear off but to no avail.  Not my mind, mind you, but yours.

I'm beginning to think your minds have been numb from birth.

So here is what you refuse to acknowledge. Hillary is and was the singularly most hated woman of all time in these "United" States. Period. That horse race was lost before it started.

Trump won simply because people think that "show" was real. Hell Trump still thinks it's real. He actually thinks he's rich. He's not. It's only on paper. Not in the bank. This is a good time to use that tired phrase "Show me the money". Donny was forced to do that show. He had  payments due and did not have the liquid assets to cover them. You may remember he had just gone through yet another failed venture. There may also have been a pesky little bankruptcy involved, he has been known to attract those things.

I'm still growing back the hair I pulled out when the Hillary camp ran  a muck with shouts of her feminist support of woman. She did sit on the board of directors at Walmart as they were not paying woman the same as men, were "urging" their suppliers to open factories in China and doing away with employee profit sharing via the buy one get one free stock option available to all associates. But she fought for daycare!!!!

Let us not forget how she courageously stood by her man the serial adulterer. Behind every successful man is a fish with a bicycle has been replaced by what? A woman in denial?  I'm more inclined to think the narcissist from money married the narcissist with charisma in order to move up the political ladder with dreams of living in a white house without the proverbial white picket fence.

The grossly over crowded field of candidatorial choices abounded with an underwhelming array of incompetence. Save one. The insider from outside. The one who was brushed off as a do nothing despite decades spent behind the scenes actually getting things done with help from both the opposing parties. But this is America and there is less chance for a Jew from Brooklyn getting into the White House than an oil company giving a shit about your property rights or health. I have to address an issue here that always follows the from Brooklyn thing, the carpetbagger was not the one who ran from New Hampshire but the once senator from NY.

Now we have what we have. And what we have is at best the end of personal liberty and financial freedom for about 80% of the country or at worst the end of America. Unless, and I have no faith in you to even attempt this as the TV is on and you might miss your show, you get your heads out of your asses and get out there and vote the corporate and false Christian religious spewing jihadists  out.

The United Multinational Corporations of America. (as democracy dies)

ISDS (investor-state dispute settlement) an act of treason in the name of commerce.

Investing is a form of gambling. Gambling is by definition a game of chance, no matter how well thought out the risks may be. ISDS' only purpose is to take as much risk of failure out of the game by circumventing existing laws of the land of sovereign states thereby taking power from the citizens and those entrusted with the sacred trust instilled through the fair and constitutional election of the government by the people of the land and handing it to corporations foreign and domestic.

Foreign investor protections and investor-state dispute settlements simultaneously undermine the US Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the sovereignty of the United States of America, each of the 50 states and all local government entities within.

Interestingly some of the politicians who favor these ISDS clauses fervently claim to be "patriots" and anti-big government.

By inserting foreign investor protection and investor-state dispute settlement clauses into trade agreements that directly impact state, county and local governments ability to protect and serve the interests and well being of the citizens who elected them these ISDS clauses represent the worst care scenario of big government intrusion.

This is an off shoring of the judicial  branch. It's treason. Plain and simple.

What You Might Have Missed Getting Excited About Self Driving Cars

The IoT and those wondrous self driving cars. It all sounds so good. No worries as you are shuttled across town gleefully texting away.

"Take me to John's house", "Stop at the store for beer", "I feel like pizza tonight". Text, text, play a game on the way.

Doesn't that sound great?

Forget about the massive infrastructure that does not yet exist, forget about the massive costs that the companies will shove onto you. You're used to that scam by now.

Instead, think for just a minute about how all of those vehicles are going to know where not just they, but where all the other vehicles are. They will need to "talk" to each other. How will they do that? Hmmm. That's an easy one to answer. They will all be on the same network, right?

And who will own that network? A monopoly. Think you have little to no choice now with ISP's? True they do all communicate but they are more or less non lethal stationary PC's, tablets and cell phones that do not carry the living from point A to point B.

Chrome and Explorer and Foxfire do the same thing. Sort of. (I'm leaving the lesser used guy out on purpose)  They do not always get along. Now if we all are using self driving cars and sharing the road with public transportation that you know will be interconnected (True AI controlled vehicles  would be impractical in a fleet scenario) there will have to be a central logistics control point using a single browser and a single ISP. That point would be owned and under control by the monopoly that now has an almost complete control over your every move.

That monopoly whether corporate or government will own you and know every place you go. Where, when and for how long you stayed.

The dream of every marketer. The wet dream of every dictator.

Privacy is over rated anyway. Right?

Democracy (is coming)

The day of the crowning of the false new king,
cheaply approaches the gilded  Tri-ump-ted fake ring
of puppet and master, both slave and naive,
to greed and ego neither earned or achieved.

The tyrant, no, not royal but birthed of Queens,
wraps it's own self in it's tangerine dreams.
Hidden deep in a tower unfinished and tacky,
cowering his highness awaits peasants attacking.
