HINT FOR SOCIALISTS WHO DON’T UNDERSTAND THE ECONOMY, HUMANS, OR REALLY ANYTHING ELSE: WALL STREET IS NOT A PLACE WHERE BILLIONAIRES INVEST AND WHEN THEY WIN TAKE THEIR EARNINGS AND BUILD A MONEY BIN TO SWIM IN THE CASH. WALL STREET IS RETIREMENT PLANS, RAINY DAY FUNDS, AND SOURCES OF LOANS TO PEOPLE LIKE FARMERS. WHO MUST BORROW TO BUY SEED AND FERTILIZER. SO WE CAN EAT NEXT YEAR. OKAY, CUPCAKE, YOU’RE NOT DYING FOR WALL STREET. BUT YOU WILL DIE WITHOUT IT. FAMINE IS A HELL OF A SLIMMING PLAN:  Not Dying For Wall Street Hysteria.

IT’S NOT TRUMP’S FAULT IF PEOPLE ARE STUPID OR MAYBE CRAZY. THIS IS LIKE BLAMING GEORGE BUSH FOR METEOR STRIKES:  Media Peddles Fake News About Fish Tank Cleaner To Blame Trump.

From memory: “Stupidity is the only capital crime. The penalty is always death. There is no appeal.”- Robert A. Heinlein.

I HAVE NOTHING OFFICIAL, BUT THROUGH OFFICIAL CHANNELS? THERE ISN’T ANY:  What about the Coronavirus excess death rate?

Which might be why we haven’t heard of it. Just like we haven’t heard why the homeless aren’t dying in droves.

Speaking of which, did I tell you I have questions?  (Yes, it’s pay locked. Use HOYT for a discount.)

BUT THE DANGER IS VERY REAL, AND IT’S MAKING ME DEPRESSED AND ANGRY BY TURNS: Cures and Diseases.

And to the gentleman who came by to tell me that people who speak like me can’t be locked up YET and it’s a pity. Did you know that I’m American? I have a document that proves it. And you, sir, aren’t. No, being born and educated here, even if you were, didn’t make you one.  And no amount of documentation could make you so.

THERE IS A DANGER. IT IS NOT THE VIRUS:  Stop panicking over bad data.

Listen to LawDog. He’s not only a friend, he’s one of the nicest, calmest and most objective people I know.

THIS ONE IS PAYWALLED BUT THEY’LL GIVE YOU A DISCOUNT IF YOU USE “HOYT” AS YOUR CODE ON SUBSCRIPTION.  I WOKE UP AT FOUR THIRTY AM AND COULDN’T SLEEP, SO I WROTE THIS: I Have Questions About Our Response to COVID-19.
How come the homeless aren’t dying in droves?

THE WHOLE SERIES IS ON SALE FOR 99c EACH TILL TOMORROW NIGHT (WELL, THE WHOLE SERIES SO FAR. I’M WORKING ON #4):  Dipped, Stripped and Dead (Daring Finds Book 1).

A Dyce Dare Mystery
When she was six, Dyce Dare wanted to be a ballerina, but she couldn’t stop tripping over her own feet. Then she wanted to be a lion tamer, but Fluffy, the cat, would not obey her. Which is why at the age of twenty nine she’s dumpster diving, kind of. She’s looking for furniture to keep her refinishing business going, because she would someday like to feed herself and her young son something better than pancakes.
Unfortunately, as has come to be her expectation, things go disastrously wrong. She finds a half melted corpse in a dumpster. This will force her to do what she never wanted to do: solve a crime.
Life is just about to get crazy… er… crazier. But at least at the end of the tunnel there might be a relationship with a very nice Police Officer.

WHEN DID WE DECIDE WE’RE NO LONGER A CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC????  DOJ Asks Congress for Indefinite Detention Powers.

No. Also go read why the fall of the Bastille was such a big deal. Also now. Also, go fish.

YOU KNOW WHAT? GOOD. BECAUSE UNTIL AND UNLESS THE WEST DEVELOPS THE CULTURAL CONFIDENCE TO HOLD OTHER COUNTRIES TO OUR STANDARDS, GLOBALIZATION IS A LOSING GAME. ONE BRINGING US DESTRUCTION AND MISERY:  Globalization is the first casualty.

IF YOU MISSED THE EARLIER POST, I PUT A BUNCH OF MY BOOKS ON SALE FOR 99C.  FOR INSTANCE:  Deep Pink (Magis Book 1).

Yes, I could give you the description of this book. But instead I’m going to ask you to imagine that Jim Butcher of Dresden files fame started doing heavy drugs, and while under the influence read a copy of Operation Chaos by Poul Anderson, and then went “Hey, I could write this thing that….”  So, it’s like that.
