Delayed or not at all
All posts will be delayed or not at all today. No playtime this morning. We had company until late. So late at one point I fell asleep, talk about social goofs. Well I woke at my normal time around 4:30 AM. I got up, fed the cat, made coffee and tried to start the roundup, but I was way too tired, my neuropathy / spasms in my hands are too much to control the mouse, and my eyes are trying really hard to close again. So as much as I love the roundup and other news (I have 27 open tabs right now, should be reading them) I just cannot do it this morning. Ron got up at 6 AM because his back is hurting bad, and I am going back to bed with him. Best wishes and hopes everyone has a great day. Scottie
The SCOTUS Open
In ruling that the Biden administration can’t force large businesses to enact vaccine mandates, the conservative majority of the United States Supreme Court argued that the coronavirus is not an “occupational work hazard.” Don’t worry if they’re wrong because every member of the Supreme Court is vaccinated, so they don’t have to deal with the coronavirus hazard at their workplace.
The mandate applied to companies with over 100 employees. It required all employees to be vaccinated or be tested every week. This would have affected over 82 million workers, which is two-thirds of the U.S. workforce. Now thanks to the Supreme Court, you can still be an employed gaslighting anti-vaxxer Fauci-hating fucknut.
The Biden administration estimated the rule would save our nation from over 250,000 hospitalizations.
This was an OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) designed rule, but the court doesn’t want OSHA to have any authority. They claim despite…

Owning The Libs Equals Victory!
Price gouging and profit taking are a large cause of the current inflation. Businesses are trying to make more money as they do at the cost of the people suffering. This is win win for large or wealthy businesses. While small businesses are going under more money for the large ones. They get more money, more power, more help from the governments, the only ones getting less are the people. Scottie
Businesses created the model that is the biggest contributor to this problem so they could make more profit. In the old days where product and service meant more than profit manufacturers would have a supply of what they needed to make a product readily stored for use. The makers of a item would stock the items parts in a warehouse. the ones that make the parts would have a supply of their needs, all up and down the chain. But in worshiping the god of more profit they got rid of the warehouses and extra inventory, instead going to a system of timed deliveries. Works great if the deliveries are on time no delays. But when there is a problem then the entire system shuts down. Locally the grocery story nearest me me had empty shelves in some spots. While other stores of their same company had those products with full shelves. I checked. Turned out the problem was a hold up in the shipments directed to their store and they had no back of the store storage to hold any amount of supply in. That equaled empty shelves but more profit because when they built the store they did not need to add the cost of the storage area, nor the costs to maintain it, fill it, use it, so on. The cult leader may be tRump but the long time god is profit at all costs.
The American People are all in favor of Biden’s agenda but the rich business owners are not.
Misleading right wing media! Plus notice they want her to wear really short skirts like the Fox News demanded of their female hosts. Scottie

Misleading right wing media cartoons / memes
“The clogged polling locations in metro Atlanta reflect an underlying pattern: the number of places to vote has shrunk statewide, with little recourse. Although the reduction in polling places has taken place across racial lines, it has primarily caused long lines in nonwhite neighborhoods where voter registration has surged and more residents cast ballots in person on Election Day.”
For Republicans that’s not a bug, it’s a feature.
Why so much skepticism and/or opposition to the most fundamental right in our democracy — the Right to Vote!

Scottie's Playtime 
No surprise that Lisa Benson, in her typically uneducated ignorance of economic context, wants to focus on the single factor of inflation — the TEMPORARY imbalance of supply with regard to consumer demand — caused by Trump’s devastation of our trade policy, tariff policy, infrastructure neglect and mishandling of the pandemic instead of the long-range booming consumer confidence, strong wage growth, plummeting unemployment, the most jobs created in the first year of a new president EVER in history, investment and capital markets finishing the year at record highs and a strong economic outlook due to infrastructure gains.
The only flaw in Democratic economic policy is their failure to communicate the current strength of the economy and the fast pace of recovery that results in inflation as recovery and demand outpace supply.
But then, unlike conservatives, we don’t have our own 100% wholly-owned captive media like Faux “News,” NoiseMax or OAN, and even the supposedly “mainstream” media, while it does strive towards a standard of journalistic balance, is 100% owned — every single major media outlet, whether broadcast, cable or print — by very wealthy billionaires and corporations representing the special interests of the wealthiest elites who want to hang onto their economic power.
