People make ‘a killing’ in prediction markets on news of war, on secrets of war and big decisions. And we must keep their taxes low on those profits because it's "good for the economy.” The poor limping economy. The local park will close in a year, the city just can't afford to keep it up anymore. Wake up.

Is it morning in America, like Regan once said? The alarm went off hours ago. You’ve slept in. It’s beeping. Wake up.

Free medical care? Free college? Free school? Free roads? Free air? Who are we kidding we all know nothing is “free.” So unrealistic. Economics 101.

Operation Epic Fury eats $6,000,000,000 each and every week and when will it end? Epic Fury is free apparently. Wake up.

I know a teacher who orders 80 pencils each year. Sometimes her students forget to bring a pencil to class sometimes they can't afford to spend a lot on school supplies. She was audited last year, had to count the remaining pencils: show that this wasn’t wasteful spending. The school budget is, you see, very tight. And next year she’ll just get 30 pencils. Good for them, right? We wouldn’t want her wasting our tax dollars on too many pencils.

On the news a pundit says that we need to “end wokeness" which I take to mean: please go back to sleep I’m making important stock trades with insider information. Please don’t pay too much attention to the incongruity of this being such a wealthy nation such a beautiful rich nation but we just “can’t afford” basic functions of government. Unless it is war.

Wake up.
