I had a weird dream last night...

In one part I was at a lunch buffet, and as they brought the food out, I got up to get a plate, and someone took my chair, so I did not have a chair, and then I finally found a plate, and then the food was running out, as soon as they brought more food out then people would gobble it up, and I finally got a plate of food, and I found a chair, and I sat and ate the plate of food, but when I went for seconds the food was all gobbled up and I could not get seconds. The people first took my seat, then they took all of the plates, then they ate all of the food, and I was lucky to get one plate of food. 

It reminds me that life is like that, there is plenty for everyone in life, but some people are pigs and they gobble everything up, so some people are forced to go without. 

Some people are billionaires, and they still do not want to pay their workers fair, like with Wal-Mart, and others. They are greedy pigs. And then, if we do not have anti-trust, anti-monopoly, fair trade rules, then they will gobble everything up. 

And if we did not have labor laws, and labor unions, then they would use slave labor, and child labor, and they would never pay workers fair, like the way that they use communist slave labor in China. 

There is plenty for everyone, the law of the universe is abundance, but some people are greedy pigs and they gobble everything up, and for reasons such as greed, and wanting power, they take everything. 

There is plenty for everyone, and we need to enforce anti-trust, anti-monopoly, fair trade rules, and we need to have good labor laws, and labor unions, and China needs labor unions, we need labor unions globally,  etc, etc, etc. 

Salute,

Tony V.

More good economic news about jobs.

The National Federation of Independent Business reports that
 Job creation broke the 45-year record in February with a net addition of 0.52 workers per firm (including those making no change in employment), up from 0.25 in December and 0.33 in January. The previous record was 0.51 reached in May 1998.

The only thing you "fixed" was your ignorance of democrat politics.
Brown is no leftist under the definition of the AOC version and is, unchangeably, an older white man whose party is proud to display signs at its rallies: “Anybody But a White Guy 2020."
On top of that he has no deep pockets in his organization and is from Ohio, the reddest of states with a statewide GOP political organization that swept all statewide races in 2018.

But maybe most important is the fact Brown is a Senator and the dems need to hold to as many solidSenate seats as possible
if it hopes to regain a majority.

Sounds like the day the group mrs bambu is travelling with hosted a dinner downunder for a group from overseas.
Mrs bambu's group, new to the 'game', put all the food out...buffet style.
Being polite, the 'bambu' group allowed the 'foreigners' group to serve themselves first.
Big mistake!
The "middle class/upper class" 'foreigners' group piled most of the food up on their plates...'the feast of the foreigners'...leaving little for the 'bambu' group.
The 'foreigners' group didn't eat all the food they took, wasted much of it.
I was fine, I always take biscuits, candy, etc with me whenever I attend functions like this etc...in case I don't like the food on offer. [there's a long list of food I don't like.]
After the function, when the 'bambu' group was complaining, I told them;
"There's a simple solution...don't have a buffet, serve the food out to each person individually, as per predetermined portions …"two slices of meat, 3 potato pieces...etc"].
They took my advice [no doubt having worked out what was required themselves] and said lunches/dinners have been problem-free ever since.
It was no dream. It was a nightmare though.

"The 'foreigners group' are middle class/upper class people" I was informed.
I thought to myself..."This'll be good, bambu meets the upper class".

Brown says he really does not want to run. Our resident labeler of others as partisan cocksuckers finds something nefarious in that. As he would.

Dipshit day is February 29. It’s when Red is let out of his cage so he can run around spitting on women and children until sundown when he is chased back into his cage with a plethora of sharp sticks. Is that what Bambu is talking about?

Highly speculative and whispery, but maybe worth a little gregory-style chant...

Dies irae, dies illa,
solvet saeculum in favilla,
teste David cum Sibylla.   

Quantus tremor est futurus,
quando iudex est venturus,
cuncta stricte discussurus!

For those tempted to take Red's No White Males bullshit seriously, a demographic break down of the current 2020 announced Democratic Candidates:

White Males: 5 (1 Gay, 1 Jewish)
White Females 3
Ethnic Women: 2 (1 Multiple Ethnicity, 1 Samoan)
Ethnic Males: 2 (1 Black, 1 Hispanic)

Whataya know. White males are the plurality, even without Brown or Biden.
