TexTech Free

First off, my screen name. I am a Texan working in a technical field. I did NOT attend Texas Tech. I went to a real university in Texas. Born and grew up in Houston, then spent about 24 years in Austin, back to Houston, and then in Indiana, first time to live outside of Texas. Back to Austin ten years and now 26 months (as of late August, 2021) in Miami, FL. Work keeps me moving around. I am now on my way to North Carolina. While only living in three states, I have passed through or visited 35-40 of the lower 48 states. I have missed the Big Sky country (Dakotas, Wyoming, Montana) and upper New England states. As should be obvious from my comments, I am a yellow dog Democrat with views on social justice based on the teachings of all the great religious teachers. I love music of most types. Not opera. I can tolerate some C&W. Have heard very little rap I can tolerate. My music is traditional Blues and 60s-70s rock. Also like classical and easy listening.

    Considering Zeke has no honor then perhaps seppuku would be in order.

    No mystery. She has your number set to a unique ring tone. That way she knows it is you who is calling and therefore to not answer.

    Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

    Well, I’m not an outdoorsman and I think the National Park Service Budget is a huge waste of my tax dollars. Why should I be forced to underwrite other people’s camping and fishing adventures. Let Free Enterprise do that. And the park service budget is $3.8 billion versus the CPB/PBS combined budget of about half of one billion dollars. There is no need to force taxpayers to subsidize any hiking, camping, or other outdoor activities.

    A Congressional Research Service study in 2017 found that about 15% of public television and 10% of public radio funding comes from the Federal government. And of that, the majority of the money is sent as grants to public television stations to fund their operations. Do you think some organization would let you run things if you only had a 15% stake in it? Don’t think so.

    You explained it yourself. Once you show any sign of common sense or decency, you are out of the party.

    Mostly she has embarrassed them I suspect.

    If they had any honor, they would all sanction themselves and all resign. But that’s not gonna happen.

    Well, lead pipes are a lot cheaper when you are building your moonshine still.

    No the problem is Congress (Republicans actually) cutting off the revenue stream with tax cuts that curiously don’t seem to help you and me (or at least me; maybe you are a one percenter.). Remember, Clinton left office with a budget surplus which Bush almost immediately turned into a massive deficit with his tax cut. Then Trump came along and without that much change in spending boosted the deficit even more with his tax cut. It’s the income (or lack thereof) folks.
