Tis The Reason for this Folly

Fa la la la laaa  la la la la.

Con we now our wave a ‘tidal.  As the season truly finds it’s delft message in the corecto de politico movement, the erosion of the past is only surpassed by the line-ups at Wally World ( Sam Walton’ store).  Thou shalt not tread wherest thine brethren hast passed. 

This is for the most auspicious of us who can avoid the Blue in a staunch march against the lowest common denominator.  If I was a cussin’ man I would have had my guzzinta’s done by now.   Let me run you the numbers for ole Saint Nick’s sake.

Our continent:

One job, 40,000 Per year.  50 of these in one small manufacturing plant.  1,000,000 widgets at wholesale of $25 each.  Shipping, 20 loads on 53’ trailer. Average 1500 Kms , plus fuel, $3000 deliver costs.  Retailing Costs prior to sale$1.00 per unit,  Sale price $52.99 per unit.  Profit to manufacturer $2,000,000 before taxes.

Samuel’s way from off shore:

Reverse engineer, skip around copyrights, create widget plant in China $100,000.  Employ 200 people working 14 hours for 6 days and five hours on the seventh, wages, $2000 per year.  1,000,000 widgets at wholesale at 3.49 each.   Shipping via container $0.02 per unit.  Landed.  Shipping, 20 loads on 53’ trailer. Average 1500 Kms , plus fuel, $3000 deliver costs.  Retail pricing $34.99.

Now all seems well for the consumer right?  Until we do the numbers.

2,000,0000 wages in the locally grown version of the widget.  400,000 in wages off shore.   Income tax for the country, 560,000 dollars for the local manufacturing.  0 dollars income tax for the foreign stuff.

Total global economic activity for the continental composite. 80,050,000 dollars.  For the subcontinent built thingy, 39,006,000 total global economic activity.

State and retail taxes locally 6,358,800 for the home based product, 4,198,800 dollars for the offshore one.

And the pre-tax gross profit for the locally grown widget of 25,930,00 local dollars.  The import with wild Sammy Walnut, 30,974,000.

So not only does the blue behemoth make more profit, he pays less taxes, has less global economic activity, pays lower wages offshore, stimulates less economic activity locally with fewer local or states taxes paid, but he also has a net loss of continental wealth.

Let’s not have the blind leading the blithe down to the blue store any more than we have to!

The Jailer Man and Parking Pam

Tomorrow the judge presides of the fate of our lil’town.  The streetwise co-resident and I proffer our arguments up for the bench to belittle if need be.

We the people, hold our truly believed basis to be true and trusted.  We will not let this slide.  The funds in trust teeter on termination of all primary and tertiary termini to be totally razed.

The good Bürgermeister in his wisdom has finally moratoriumized his posse of posers.  Was it the documentation or the video surveillance which stopped this?  Perhaps , but not likely it was the wisdom of His Honour. 

I stand before thee.  Coffee in hand.

The Watched Pot Never Grows, But Springs Ahead

In Greenwich they nominated for Spring coffee on February 25^th.  The earth shook, and the ground trembled.  But not in that sleepy town where whatnot turned to not what they did not do.  Nobody had a posting for the Spring Coffee Guy.  I toss my hat belatedly in that direction.

Now with more postings than I can be banned for, the last one only had a warning, Germany is still rated highest on my banned videos list, should I and perhaps not in jest this time, protesteth my abolishment for posting a family viddy?

Or perhaps find new ways of bolstering my position so couched in obscurity not to be found by the whole of Washington’s alphabet soup?  As I had doth and will further,  all the proclivities people have toward assuming that their non or real progeny or siblings or any other form or familia or genus might or might not be presently engrossed in Face Plant, I proffer my viddy materiel on every subscribed format  and media I am a member to.  (Never end a sentence prepositionally)

It’s a sad state of xenophobia when Demand Media drops my writing application like a Hot Banana.  However, I could conger a position in that less than esteemed habitué and sit back into a life of Reilly as I surf and write my way to the bottom of the lowest common denominator.  Pith and vinegar are obviously not on the menu at the Demanded writings of the “How To” crowds most desirous wants.

After all, I have been unacceptable, persona non grata, unwanted, superfluous to their needs, de trop, unseemly, invidious, unneeded, over the top, possibly not what we need, not a good fit, inessential, non-essential,  bombastic, unsought, supererogatory, unallowable, just plain unwanted, malapropos, and mostly palaverous and pleonastic at many a web site’s applications center.

Does that bother me?  Nopers.  It’s a cuz’in I can blather together my own straw man argument.  Do I need their 3 cents a word for contentious crap?  Nopers again on that account.  Thinkin’ I am un-connecting myself to the Guru as well.  Have offered a many proposal for scribbles and scribes, and with the odd negotiational e mail back and forth, nadda to come of it.

So I depart again from the unctuous trodding to the bottom of the lowest common denominator well of worthless content.  Past offers of guest columnists to this forum have also come up shy of a rational number.

Perhaps it’s back to Haiku on coffee?
