Tricycle baby carriage and LA Lakers issues

 One might wish it was as easy too invent an LA Lakers line-up and game plan as easily as it would be to manufacture sit-down, high quality tricycle-baby carriages; even electric ones for a reasonably price. With a very interesting team the Lakers seem to lack a cutting small forward like Talen Horton -Tucker who could sharply go to the hoop with a reverse layup; he is injured. Lacking Alex Caruso's tenacious defense since the trade the Lakers have two important elements missing/

LeBron James though very old in basketball years is still in the top 2% of people anyone wants on their team. He does seem to be the sharpest passer the Lakers have, and when he is out of the line-up do to injuries to ankle that recur when opposition yippies target his ankles because they can't compete otherwise with the old fellow, the Lakers suffer.

If the Lakers can hobble through the regular season and the other old fellow Carmello Anthony can on occasion contribute a few twenty points in twenty minutes games off the bench, and if Russell Westbrook can figure out how to pass as well as Pete Maravich, and if Anthony Davis can play good defense without injury an Achilles they have a good chance to win the title. All in all its the most fun team to watch in years with something like an older all-stars with younger going up against mostly sharp younger teams with decent centers and good three point shooters.

Lacking a John Havlicek kind of guy who can use Anthony Davis like  Larry Bird or Danny Ainge used Kevin McHail Davis has a little too much coverage on him. When LeBron was five years younger he drew defense to him like flies and that would have worked. Unfortunately James in now probably perceived as an equal threat to Davis and when James is on the bench there isn't another forward shooting threat. maybe Dwight Howard's offensive skills could be dusted off and used more on special occasions close in.

Democrats’ Social Pork Technology Failed to See Lisa on the Horizon

 Like ships passing in the night echos of prior political eras (41 and 46) the triple B’s pf Presidents past and present juxtaposed aspects of dubious temporal zeitgeist deleteriously. The build back better plan arrived like a cloud of flies on dead meat; the corpus delecti, of the green environmental reform movement that floated President Biden’s boat a year ago. When the word green or environmental show up in contemporary affairs around election time Democrats arrive to take the issue unto-themselves as a spearhead for social programs.

  While honesty is lacking in the use of global warming and green economic reform to camouflage social spending bills that appear suspiciously like pork for constituents, if the build back better (or back biting bitch as 41 bit-coined the triple B term) putsch for inadequacy had poltical ergonomic efficiency it would have dwelt allocating 5 billion bucks or so to buy a single Republican vote in the Senate. That should have been easy.

  Of the initial 3.5 billion dollars in the BBB plan just 500 billion was (appx.) for green tech investments to slow global warming acceleration. That five billion invested in purely green projects for Alaska might have brought Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski around to support the triple B plan in its present reduced size. Select insider politicians have a Boston-Harvard-DC axis of investment kickbacks that sometimes is blind to common sense politics that essentially are alien and external to it.  DC politics preponderantly are a dull kickback of power pork.

 

  Alaska is divided between those that hate government regulation and want to actualize under the pursuit of happiness article of the constitution, the right to launch car to car missiles whenever rodent scholar rage motivates them (as well as getting rid of traffic signals that impede happiness and freedom (like seat belts do too), and those that love government regulation and regulators and want to compel every home owner to have a uniform tori/spirit gate regulator perch on his/her or its property for the happiness of visiting regulators to land upon.

 Alaska has a population of fewer than a million people and many live scattered over a constellation of roadless rural areas. High arctic air pollution might have a stronger effect than mid-Earth air pollution proportionately acting as a catalyst for permafrost melting and release of vast quantities of methane gas into the atmosphere. Investing five billion dollars in fuel cells, wind, solar and geothermal energy production for every Alaskan city with more than 100 people living there might have attracted the Senator’s vote because she is facing an election.

  Her constituents could regard her choice to kill plentiful low cost green energy unfavorably when the temperature is forty degrees below zero and oil stove fuel is running low with exorbitant prices only Boston and San Francisco millionaires and billionaires could find trivial.

 Five billion dollars of spending on home energy with green refueling locally is preferable to some paying oil companies cash forever that would be better spent on food and warm boots.

  Alaska’s government following Jay Hammond, with the exception of Steve Cowper, was usually uncreative and reliant upon oil sales revenues to fund itself. One could write suggesting energy and business diversification for decades and Alaska politicians would be like cold stone walls of disregard falling back to their natal streams of reliance on oil revenues to fund state government spending.

  The kind of people elected to government at the state and federal level serve corporatism far more than democracy is at any rate generally toady to corporatism these days. One gets elected to share the rem of oil revenues, public debt, and Wall Street percs.

Hyper-sonic missile is 'transformational; once in a generational for war progressives

 New hypersonic missiles that travel from mach 6 to mach 17 have taken center stage recently in the global race to annihilate itself. Fortunately the Chinese have joined the Russians in owning the fast and nearly direct fire missiles that can shoot under the radar to hit sitting duck targets defending by anti-ballistic missiles.

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/10/27/us-general-china-missile-test-very-close-to-sputnik-moment

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-Range_Hypersonic_Weapon

https://www.military.com/equipment/weapons/why-russias-hypersonic-missiles-cant-be-seen-radar.html

These hyper-sonic weapons are a great advance over the old, slow, mirved, marved ballistic missiles of your dad's day that merely delivered high trajectory packages of city incineration and global winter. The hypersonic items can be launched soon from a number of platforms such as submarines and any old sort of surface ship traveling the oceans and possibly even dropped like cruise missiles from an airborne platform in the near future. Thus plenty of boom is promised for everyone without any sort of supply shortages.

Once more global political leadership is making great strides of progress to kill everyone thus saving money and bitcoin on the problem of global warming that has taken a minority portion of the comfort food economic budget of the Democrat party. One can't tax those millionaires or their poor relative millionaire kindred and keep the economy going.

A Thought of Infinite Being (a science fiction story)

 I have published a science fiction book. It's named A Thought of Infinite Being.

A Thought of Infinite Being

Here is the description I wrote for it.

A science fiction story of metaphysical speculation, defense response to networked terror, social philosophical analysis and meta-cosmological circumspection with a Christian spin. Protagonists consider implications of a Multiverse for metaphysics, morals, creation, the natural theology of God, and select works.

Fix Depleted Yukon salmon fishery with Steelhead and Kokane?

The tragedy of over-fishing Yukon River salmon fishing to the point of the brink of extinction is a natural human fish management course of events. Humans ordinarily over-utilize a resource and through competition and social inertia continue to do so. Rivers are especially easy to over-fish in regard to salmon that obligingly return to their ancestral rivers from the sea every few years making them prey for nets put in their path. Could land-locked salmon like Kokane and steelhead that re main in the river for life and hence escape the international fishing fleet in the Bering Sea stand a better chance?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kokanee_salmon

I stipulate that I know little about the Yukon or salmon fishing there. I live about 700 miles away in Wrangell Alaska about fifteen miles from British Columbia. The only pro fisheries guy I knew was from Argentina and studied in a graduate program at the University of Alaska at Juneau. Therefore I am just suggesting the creation of steelhead and Kokane hatcheries along the Yukon designed expressly to replenish the emptying out of the river from Bering Sea over-fishing. I got a couple of undergraduate degrees yet never could afford that graduate degree I wanted to be an educator in East Africa or Eastern Europe so I generate some ideas that aren't pro career stuff now and then.

In theory (a philosophical theory rather than a graduate of fisheries theory) nature abhors a vacuum. If salmon that formerly dominated the Yukon are gone something else might or even should replace it. Rather than flooding the river with a sort of fish less desirable than a salmonid, the good human policy of intervening to synthetically balance nature (they habitually unbalance the natural balance) might be applied.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/salmon-or-trout-what-the-heck-is-a-steelhead-anyway-1.4461827

Sure the Yukon would be a cold place to have a fish hatchery with the annual hard freeze. Maybe some sort of geothermal heating of water enough to keep the hatchery waters from freezing within an indoor ecosystem along the river would work. Maybe geothermal heating could be used to generate electricity as well.

A Yukon River stuffed to the gills with salmonids, albeit smaller than king salmon, could be a good subsistence harvest for humans and returning kings as well.

Leftengnat Blip Von Bonzo’s Wind Egg Infrastructure Plan

 The artist formerly known as Xyphoid Process obtained learned of a Von Bonzo report unreleased to the public and released it for publication…

   Leftengnat Edgerton Von Bonzo said recently that some progress has been made on advancing his wind egg infrastructure bill through congress. Specifically, the goose egg gambit was referred to the special secret sauce committee for a party-line vote of approval as a rider on the Human Prison Infrastructure bill that has space for numerous Eleatic amendments.

 Wind egg human infrastructure investments economically and efficiently advance nothing physical and are confirmed to have no immediate harmful environmental consequences, beside being less filling, tasting great, sugar gluten free.

 Rotting, decaying national physical infrastructure can be addressed in a separate, smaller bill that will enable roads and bridges for the upgraded Model T fleet to remain internationally competitive for the remainder of the century when another, physical infrastructure bill will be required to keep America great.

 A perpetual revolution sending waves of human infrastructure bills, animal infrastructure bills added to the environmental protection agency, alien infrastructure bills needed to make illegal alien in-migration great again and to fast track illegal aliens to citizen status skipping over the cruel and unusual racist, xenophobic bigotry of requirements for legal resident status before the freeway to citizenship occurs, wealth infrastructure bills, abstract infrastructure bills for making higher education great again, human and government infrastructure revolution bills to the people directly with full support from the High Court of Human Infrastructure.

 It was recently discovered in select, elite infrastructures of haute education that infrastructure is actually asuffix, and if attached to any sort of (variable) object confers to it the concept of being real, solid and with gravity.

 Experiments with infrastructure as a preposition confirmed the finding that wind eggs if given the suffix of infrastructure can receive support from fifty-one percent majority of people responding to a survey question about the acceptability of congressional infrastructure wind eggs in the poll.

 Leftengnat Bonzo said that infrastructure for research infrastructure was lacking in higher educational nink tanks and would benefit from a plast, emergency infusion of cash. Fully stocked refrigerators for trink tanks scheduled to be built in high rise condominium units in Jupiter Florida in 2024 could proceed if Republicans would just get out of the way, he said.

 The Leftengnat confided there have been hints of a discovery that infrastructure may work as a prefix in an adverbial sort of way; not only in the shadows a hidden universe, to briefly parse the notion, for sometimes a great infrastructure, tides rolling in, ships rising in the harbor, just to watch them roll away again evolves an infrastructure of poetic infrastructure even Wall Street can happily view as a good investment.

 Leftengnat Bonzo said the outrageous and crass suggestion that the Congress should hire a cluster of thirty brilliant engineers, ecological economists and scientists to produce the best possible ideas they can of what they would spend 3.5 trillion dollars on to modernize and upgrade the nation’s physical infrastructure is inappropriate and plain dumb like the stupid scientists and engineers.

 Infrastructure, said the Leftengnat, is not supposed to make the nation a faster, better, cheaper and more ecologically efficient place to manufacture goods or services that bring a competitive edge over the world. Conceding business would find the U.S. a better place to produce in spite of the higher cost of labor, foreign entities would just try to just try to emulate the infrastructure like trans-continental hyper loops and super-conducting lines inside underground liquid hydrogen carrying pipelines spake the Leftengnat. Building things foreign nations would catch up to in a few decades, the Leftengnat said, is obsolete, regressive, reactionary and replete with infrastructure of stupidity that probably would make everyone, everywhere, miserable.

 The Leftengnat ended the interview saying that it’s bedtime for Bonzo.
