Why the US Women's Soccer Team Should Not Get Equal Pay

Equal pay is a phony concept for pro sports; teams should get paid what they're worth for winning as a percent of company profit. Equal pay with the plumber's union or some other abstract body of people out there is unrealistic. If women's soccer brings in more people to watch than the men's team they should be paid more.

Former Vice President Biden has said there are many more genders than two out there. Some might reasonably be worth more in working some particular task, yet in others the matter is not relevant to what the pot boils down to. As one mucks over the fine residue at the bottom, one discovers equality is not determined by abstract performance. Instead production is determined in show business sports through revenues for the organizing and managing body.

The women's team apparently brought in more viewers than the men's team by far. Equality is just silly- they evidently are worth more. Pay should be tied in to production that for show business is viewer-consumers buying the product. If some women's soccer star walks in to a bar and punches an old man in the side of the head who is sitting down minding his own business, then her pay should suffer as viewers are turned off. Yet if she is a good role model, the business value should rise.

Sometimes it is a bad idea to gouge as much as one can. Dak Prescott, the Cowboys brilliant young quarterback recently turned down a $30 million a year contract. He should have taken it yet limited it to three years. Tom Brady once took a pay cut for the team and Prescott should have been a leader and done that too, If the Cowboys win a title or the Superbowl his next contract could be worth $50 million annually. Neither is it a good idea to shrimp the women's team and pay them less than the perennial loser male team. It's the box office that counts; women's soccer is far more valuable in some venues than than men's soccer. 

'Moscow Mitch' vs Speaker Assonance

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi should quit acting like a juvenile with the liberal use of derogatory epithets for Republican leaders. "Moscow Mitch" is just wrong, dirty assonance. What if Senator McConnell referred to her as 'Puta Pelosi' or Speaker Assonance? She is a mouthpiece for an illegal alien invasion of California. Grow up Nancy.



Since the Obama era the Democratic Party has evolved out of bi-partisan legislation towards one of pure partisan force. Democrats were first to use the nuclear option to pass partisan legislation. They rely more upon technical congressional leverage to force their own agenda forward than anything else that would require bi-partisan support.

The basic tactic for the Democratic Party these days since the Obama era is to use the White House to appoint partisan judges who will force their agenda forward; legislating from the bench. The balance is to issue executive orders from a Democrat President. President G.W. Bush importunately appointed a Wall Street corporatist judge- Chief Justice Roberts, who enabled Democrats to corrupt the nation as he determined which way the financial winds blew.

Native Born in the U.S.A. is American- Love it or Leave It

Too  many silly people in the political arena seeking to restore aristocracy, tyranny and all of the things that go with it bring up the topic of getting rid of the natural born citizen. Certain weenies cannot enforce  control of border security and imagine a bureaucratic, paper solution would serve very well to compensate for their incompetence. They wish to strip Americans of citizenship if they were just born in the U.S.A.- perhaps they should be a member of some exclusive club to be a real citizen, or have a million dollars invested in Wall Street.

Leave the native born citizenship issue alone forever. It is the sole paradigm for true citizenship as far as many are concerned. Naturalized citizens are always a little suspect of divided loyalties, as might a double agent turncoat. No human can choose where they are born though- nation of birth is a true test for citizenship in a nation. If some object because they want to keep anchor babies from being dropped inside U.S. borders they should enforce border security and immigration criteria such that no opportunistic predatory births are dropped on American soil.

Administration Should Be Leader-Not Loser-On Endangered Species Protection

America has innumerable endangered species as a result of human economic development. The United States need be a leader rather than a loser at protecting the environment and endangered species. Government leaders should not be environmental yippees that don't give a rat's a about life on Earth in comparison to their excess profits and bad maladaptive economic designs, methods and practices.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2019/08/13/endangered-species-here-usas-most-endangered-animals/1998528001/

The U.S. government should have intelligent leader well educated in environmental economics. Unfortunately there is no major party nor party leaders that are so educated. Democrats are an unthinkable alternative corrupting human social morality and being anti-American regarding border security.


America deserves a really talented President who can manage the economy and make the environment  great again.

A Cooperative Super-Conductor was Better Choice than Floating Nuclear Power Plant

I don't blame the Russians for wanting reliable power for the cold Arctic shore. A floating nuclear power plant is a strategic terrorist target though for a rogue torpedo or suicide drone attack. Chernobylo upwind of Alaska isn't good. Democrat policies that force Russians to go alone and be regarded as a frenemie at best preclude peaceful Russian-American Arctic conservative development in sustainable ecospheric economic parameters.. Another step toward poisoning the Arctic too.

https://www.adn.com/alaska-news/2019/08/10/alaskans-concerned-about-russian-floating-nuclear-power-plant/

A better alternative might have been for Russian and American scientists and engineers to research and build a Finland to Chicago super-conductor cable cooled in liquid hydrogen that is also used to power a Musk hyper-tube transport system. It would be useful to keep nuclear out of the Arctic for long-range human survival.

God and Reason

Socrates with true and false opinion; one can in error believe false opinion, getting to the heart of the matter of epistemological verification that plagues any idea including scientific. Rational ideas- those of ratios as one finds in math, with equal spacing, magnitudes and logical subtraction and addition within a given, stipulated paradigm are in a sense contingent. Beliefs concerning God are better comparable to evaluating infinities. The best one might do is to use Cantor's trans-finite infinities to illustrate the difficulty of using finite ratios to evaluate the infinite. God is just too large to be encompassed within a rational criterion entirely or even in part, as a subject. It is difficult to encompass all times and places of every possible Universe, knowledge datum and so forth from a finite point of view.

When I mentioned equal spacing that was in reference to a characteristic of math systems from geometry to number systems like natural numbers etc. People like to put God in such a paradigm too, and even make inferences from a theoretical system regarding the freedom of God confined to such a system and its mechanics.

Things are pluralist parts of a whole. Things are made or exist contingently within a whole. God is not a part of the whole. The whole of things is not the entirety of God. It's a kind of double categorical error. Eventually i plan to write a bit about the human brain as being comparable to a 4-dimensional television that receives and converts digital data into a picture of a world and Universe. Intelligence is what allows thought about the date-world-universe (without intelligence the TV image would not be perceived by a knower).

The word 'things' might refer to material objects, or pluralist pieces of sections of a larger unit. I don't believe though that one can logically reason or make inferences from one set of 'things' to find the content, nature or structure of all other sets of 'things'. For example, one might have a set of all shapes and varieties of pink neckties worn by a chess commentator in 2019. From that data it probably would not be possible to reason to the solution for what dark matter is. If human brains are comparable to televisions that receive digital input, dark matter may be a spectral wave signal they are not equipped to process.

In my opinion the Holy Trinity as Persons rather than places or things differ in more than quality or quantity from 'things' or Tegmark's level 4 Multiverse wherein all things that can exist, do exist already, in all possible Universes and mind travels and switches between them. God is spirit and not confined to His Multiverse that is a knowledge-datum within Spirit perhaps, theoretically only, for it cannot be known.

Everyone may be immortal after physical death. Some Biblical scripture comments on the topic...

https://www.openbible.info/topics/immortality_of_the_soul?fbclid=IwAR0NHd9Xdj7aev9CEfUMwDybNaESvnc4YM7z0sdf7rUTg6sfs_rQTCzMg_c

Psalm 6:5 seems to indicate never ending death as a kind of life without God-"For in death there is no remembrance of you; in Sheol who will give you praise?". 2nd Timothy 1:10 has the plain reference- "And which now has been manifested through the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, who abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel," 1st Corinthians 15:54 has another plain, explicit statement that death has been abolished- "When the perishable puts on the imperishable, and the mortal puts on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory.” One could say that immortality applies only to the elect that were saved. That would be one way to limit the logical distribution of death as particular rather than Universal. 1st Corinthians 15:51-58 restates the above and adds more to the idea that everyone is resurrected unto eternal life or eternal death (as a kind of living hell) "Behold! I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed. For this perishable body must put on the imperishable, and this mortal body must put on immortality. When the perishable puts on the imperishable, and the mortal puts on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory.” “O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?” " There is a physical death of mortals that ends. There is another kind of death though-life without God for eternity. I think that is enough to prove the point.

That Prologue Could be Half the Book

 A very substantial prologue of a brilliant society on a world with high, crisp October days, cool with mists and full of hope where one can see forever...then the main story of dystopian darkness, rotting putrid political corruption pervasive and reinforcing the fallen ecosphere of the planet. Light and darkness. A billion remaining former socialists fighting for scraps in little, tight enclaves of evil boiling shoe stew over flaming trash barrels.
