Brief Post


More computer problems. HP has a wireless problem and a recall that they apparently told no one about. I found out about it through another source and so they fixed[?] my computer for about four weeks. When I called them back they told me: "You are out of the warranty period. You had a one time repair. You get no more repairs."

I pointed out that they hadn't really repaired it. The pleasant person in Bombay merely repeated what she told me earlier. Fuck 'em. So out it goes to another place.

At any rate I was thinking about the ability of people to live in Alice's world: "A word means what I want it to mean, neither more nor less." Even more so when I came upon this from Digby. I never knew that Alaskan citizens paid no individual taxes, but that the government lived off of taxes from the oil companies and paid the citizens almost $4,000.00 cash to each Alaskan every year. Yet at the same time they deny that is socialism.

WTF?

Then from Firedoglake comes this graph of how this country has been redistributing the wealth for the last thirty years.





Click on the graph to see it all I can't figure out how to make it small enough to see it all on the blog.
