JCD, I don’t know why you found the dog license around the neck absurd or fake. It’s to be worn the same way fishing and hunting licenses are worn, around the neck or on the arm.
Oh so you don’t find it a license to walk your dog funny? Come just another little bit of your freedom been taken away. Hope Clover More doesn’t hear about this 🙁
Just recently found your show. Best thing on the web, funny, smart but most importantly full of truth. Your show deserves to be a syndicate radio show but i guess in the USA today the truth is against the law. I’m Canadian and have always respected the freedoms of the USA but have come to believe that the only thing with real freedom and protection now is money. It really bothers me that the most democratic country in the world has devolved into a Fascist slave state.
#3 As someone (who hates the show) once said. There is no way any advertiser would give you guys a nickel to do the show commercially. It’s too radical. I believe he is right. We’d have to tone it down and ruin it.
It is what it is and listeners support the effort directly.
Hmmm,
And now you found out I was right about the Banks using NO MONEY??(legal tender)
What is that thing where you call for proof of MONEY, on the stock exchange??
LETS DO THAT..
I can see NOW, that a corp has REUSED/ISSUE’d the SAME CREDIT over and over..I will BET that a TON of people will FALL FLAT.
THEN they expect poor people to USE CASH??
NOW you have a reason for the GOV. to print money. THERE WASNT ENOUGH FLOATING AROUND.
Part of a stupid problem with STOCKS and credit.
is there isnt enough and a person gives an IOU/VOUCHER/??? and thats the money.
the person receiving it considers it CASH and uses it as capital..he THEN stretches himself and gives a IOU/VOUCHER..
NOW you have all these IOU/Vouchers…and NO CASH floating around. Playing monopoly and all the prices are THRU THE ROOF, trying to cover the CASH that isnt there.(reason to lower corp and RICH taxes).
The amount of money in ISSUE, wasnt there. They were dealing with IOU/VOUCHERS/CREDIT/ verbal agreements…
NOW the corps are trying to RECOVER, thru the CONSUMER POCKET. the GOV. tried to slow it down, but IT AINT HAPPENING. sales are DROPPING AGAIN, as they lower prices on MAjor goods, food is going UP..the reason? CORPS are diversified. If they dont get it one way, they will get it from another..ALWAYS from your pocket.
