There will be no bailout, governments have learned that companies too incompetent to survive must die like the dinosaurs they are. The vacancy they leave behind will be quickly filled with young and vibrant companies. And it takes a part of the distortion out of stock markets.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LOwQHl9ZQNU/YBtPIc71YLI/AAAAAAABbG8/6K8_1QVHswELGMgxxvdbjRgMFZdZ_UUvACLcBGAsYHQ/s579/sixpack-shirtless-inline-gay-skater-athlete-slim-muscle-hunk-shaved-young-teen-boy-adolescent-acrobat.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="579" data-original-width="408" height="200" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LOwQHl9ZQNU/YBtPIc71YLI/AAAAAAABbG8/6K8_1QVHswELGMgxxvdbjRgMFZdZ_UUvACLcBGAsYHQ/w141-h200/sixpack-shirtless-inline-gay-skater-athlete-slim-muscle-hunk-shaved-young-teen-boy-adolescent-acrobat.jpg" width="141" /></a><span></span></span></p><a name='more'></a><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">But these basically dead hedge funds and possibly banks are not the real problem. The problem lies in our perception of the stock market, or rather, the image we get indoctrinated with every day by the unholy alliance of media, billionaires, and governments. It takes a closer look to see where they are cheating our perception into believing the opposite of what is true.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">What is happening on a stock market in simple and old fashioned terms? On a market, you have buyers looking for something, and sellers offering something. Someone wants a mug. Find a shop that sells mugs, and buy one. The market has played insofar as you accepted the price of the mug and the vendor accepted your money. Deal done.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">On the stock market, the mug is a share in a company. Some want to sell a share and others want to buy some. If seller and buyer can agree on a price, then the deal is done. The price is marked down and the company has now a calculated new value based on the price paid. If the price was higher than the one paid before, then the value goes up; if the price is lower, the value goes down. All these values are added into a statistic that gives the various market indexes. If enough companies get a higher value, the index goes up, otherwise down. These indexes are purely theoretical and nothing to do with real life.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Media, brokers, fund managers, and bankers always sell us the view that a high index number is something good and that it means the economy does well. What has the sale of a share done for the economy? How many jobs have been created with the price paid for it? The answer is sobering, absolutely nothing has happened to the economy. When you buy a mug for two dollars on Monday and one for three dollars on Tuesday, then prices have gone up but no new jobs have been created.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">The majority of sellers of stocks put the money aside for future transactions to earn money. That money is lost to the economy as it will sit around doing nothing until it is used to buy stocks. Which in turn does nothing for the economy. What does the high index figure tell us about the economy? Nothing except that more and more money is bound up in shares not doing anything for the economy.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">The aim must be to get the money back into the economy. When the index falls, money is set free. In a crash, a lot of money is set free. That at least would be the nice theory. It doesn't happen that way. The last sellers have squirreled their money away for future transactions. The panic sellers lose a lot of money, basically the money that sits in the last sellers bank account. It means that the crash doesn't free up any money for the economy; psychologically it makes it even worse, as people believe the lie about the high index figures.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">This might change if we look at the GameStop fun and games driving hedge funds out of business. It's possible that the money they suck out of the dead wood called hedge fund will find it's way into the economy. These people are not the addicted brokers and hedge fund managers who spend day and night counting their money. They just might spend money on amenities and keep only what they invested first as a gaming platform. We all saw the article about the guy who invested in gifts for sick children in hospitals. That is economy boosting.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">I showed in <a href="https://stutenzeecandyblog.blogspot.com/2021/01/casino-wall-street.html" target="_blank">my casino article</a> how the billionaires, the banks, and the hedge funds manipulate the market and always have. My heart bleeds for them when now they are crying for regulation. Let's make it retroactive to 1983 and skim off all their profits since then to make it fair. As that is not possible, then I'm afraid there is no new regulation necessary. You got a new player on the field. Deal with it of go broke. No one cares. Your incompetent bank, broker house, or hedge fund will be replaced by a competent one within 24 hours and no one will remember your name except your clients suing you.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">There have been calls for taxing the stock market. There are countries that tax capital gains. It works fairly well, it is low key, and it can have very unpleasant ramifications for investors. The investor hands in the transaction slips for everything he sold in the fiscal year together with all the transaction slips for the acquisition of the same shares or options or whatever. The total bought is deducted from the total sold for all items together. If it is on the plus, then that plus is taxed; if it is in the minus, then it is put forward to the next tax year. It gets unpleasant when the taxman decides that you have so many transactions and make so much money that this is a job and taxes you accordingly plus all the social deductions that come with being a freelancer.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">But even a low key tax solution needs additional government employees, and there are already too many doing nothing except wasting taxpayers' money. Maybe an even easier solution would be to introduce a transaction tax; every transaction is taxed with a single figure tax percentage to be paid by the seller's account. Stock markets invoice and deduct the tax automatically and pay monthly. You wouldn't need a lot additional employees in the tax office to control that on a monthly basis. If they don't pay, fine them with the ten time amount immediately and keep on doing that until they pay in full. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Further reading<br /><a href="http://stutenzeehistoryblog.blogspot.com/2013/03/how-money-came-to-dominate-our-lives.html" target="_blank">How Money Came to Dominate Our Lives<br /></a><a href="https://stutenzeecandyblog.blogspot.com/2020/11/how-economy-works.html" target="_blank">How Economy Works<br /></a><a href="https://stutenzeebooks.blogspot.com/2013/10/prophet-of-banking-crisis.html" target="_blank">Prophet of the Banking Crisis</a></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

font-size: medium;">In this lesson, we are looking at the workers being talked about all the time, and the ones that are never mentioned at all. We know that the teachers are expected to look after hordes of children that are not at risk but probably infected. There are others that look after any number of people and are expected to put themselves out into the pandemic. But no one really mentions them. They are sort of subsumed by other groups, but will certainly be forgotten once the pandemic is over.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-u2X3qfKMDEU/YBXup1Rht2I/AAAAAAABbEY/Eud_tsujeIgkHzF0ePlMyueoVIzceEtsQCLcBGAsYHQ/s800/outdoor-gay-gymnast-show-exhibition-feat-jeans-boy-young-sports-teen-boy-full-stretch-muscle-hunk-street-kid.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="502" data-original-width="800" height="126" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-u2X3qfKMDEU/YBXup1Rht2I/AAAAAAABbEY/Eud_tsujeIgkHzF0ePlMyueoVIzceEtsQCLcBGAsYHQ/w200-h126/outdoor-gay-gymnast-show-exhibition-feat-jeans-boy-young-sports-teen-boy-full-stretch-muscle-hunk-street-kid.jpg" width="200" /></a><span></span></span></p><a name='more'></a><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">The group of people everybody is talking about are the workers in the care homes. Right now, everybody is so thankful and appreciative. But for one, these people again are not paid enough under normal circumstances much less so right now. And once the pandemic is over, mark my words, there will be people looking to sue the care homes for negligence and greedy law firms looking for class actions to take. Grubby lawyers are using lockdown to read up on precedents.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Easily forgotten because they are sort of chucked in with the care homes are the care nurses that help people stay at home. To do that, they go out there every day to visit their patients who are as a general rule part of an at risk group. And these nurses are again are paid too little when things are going well, but now it's plain ridiculous.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Then come the other people who are looking after groups of people that need looking after for various reasons. That's the workers of any denomination that keep prisons running. Besides prisons, there are other institutions that need employees, orphanages, youth correction centers, mental hospitals, and so on. They are graciously forgotten, as they are graciously forgotten when talks come round to their pay.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Onto this list have to be added the people who look after animals that are not on a farm; that's animal shelters, pet shops, and zoos to make three large groups while dumping some professions in with these. While people working with people are very clear about the risks they are running, with animals we have no clue if and what the risks are. Does the virus jump from human to animal and back? Does the virus mutate if it does this jumping around? And is the risk higher of doing any of this with exotic animals than with our local pets like cats and dogs?</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">And finally, and that is intentional, there are homeless people and the workers from charities and government agencies (very few of the latter as governments hate spending money on homeless people) that look after them on the streets and in shelters. Why do I take them last intentionally? Obviously for one, they are always the last to be looked after (with maybe the exception of Stockholm where a working system is in place to keep people off the streets). And secondly looking at social media, finding money for cat, dog, and donkey shelters is much more important than finding money for human beings. Some people need to have their minds looked at about what they think are priorities? Dear Mrs. Catdogdonkeylover, how great are your chances of becoming a human homeless person as opposed to becoming a stray cat, dog, or donkey?</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Further reading<br /><a href="https://stutenzeecandyblog.blogspot.com/2021/01/covid-19-lesson-7.html" target="_blank">Covid-19 Lesson 7<br /></a><a href="https://stutenzeecandyblog.blogspot.com/2021/01/covid-19-lesson-6.html" target="_blank">Covid-19 Lesson 6<br /></a><a href="https://stutenzeecandyblog.blogspot.com/2021/01/covid-19-lesson-5.html" target="_blank">Covid-19 Lesson 5</a></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

font-size: medium;">Humans are very good at camouflage. They hide drug addiction behind 'health products' from the pharmaceutical industry and 'keep pubs open' campaigns. They sell serial liars as politicians. They pretend that the stock market is not a gambling den. If you read anything on social media about GameStop recently, you'll know that that is a lie.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yTljUcLtMIE/YBNwlMthFuI/AAAAAAABbD0/29bthAZQlIgXYZkmfTTmdcd59--65TEhgCLcBGAsYHQ/s654/young-playful-teen-boy-basket-ball-naked-torso-ripped-jeans-bulge-gay-twink-hunk-beach-sports-slim-athlete-sixpack.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="654" data-original-width="453" height="200" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yTljUcLtMIE/YBNwlMthFuI/AAAAAAABbD0/29bthAZQlIgXYZkmfTTmdcd59--65TEhgCLcBGAsYHQ/w139-h200/young-playful-teen-boy-basket-ball-naked-torso-ripped-jeans-bulge-gay-twink-hunk-beach-sports-slim-athlete-sixpack.jpg" width="139" /></a><span></span></span></p><a name='more'></a><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">The fib is that stocks are showing an adequate value of a company. There might be undervalued ones as well as overvalued ones, but in general the worth of the shares should reflect the companies' standing. Only, share prices can be manipulated and are on a daily basis. The manipulators so far were doing it in the dark or lying in plain sight. Now Robinhood has exposed the abyss of so called values. Did anyone ever believe that Facebook is worth more than one Dollar? It might be less now as the seams have split on technical issues, political interference, and general ineptitude.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">The system of stock markets started out with a normal market of shares being sold and bought. The agreed price would give the current worth of a company. But banks and brokers were buying and selling stocks on their own accounts as well. Banks or brokers, financial experts in valuing companies, were soon giving out advice to investors by newspaper articles and investor letters. That the advice was 'sell' when they wanted to buy, and 'buy' when they wanted to sell was mere coincidence.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Getting greedy, someone invented 'options'. These options were trades for a future date and increased the casino effect on the stock market exponentially. Buying long means that the buyer expects the stock to rise, he can then buy at his options' lower price sell at a profit when that happens. Selling short meant someone sells shares he doesn't have expecting to get them cheaper before the option runs out. Hello gambling addicts, have you logged on to Robinhood yet? And being a gambling addict helps you get a job as a stock broker with any bank or fund. If you aren't, then you'll be one after six months on the job.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">What happened with GameStop's shares is a casino story without equal. The company was valued at $2 billion in December 2020, on January 24, 2021, that was $24 billion. Does anyone want to dispute with me that this is a pure casino game scenario? This is, I have to admit, not a normal 'manipulation'. This is a perfect storm. Free trade platforms like Robinhood draw in the addicted gamblers and they can have a go at gambling on shares instead of horses or soccer. Then add an online interest group in Reddit dedicated to gambling in the stock market and you get a mass movement.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">This mass movement works the lemmings way. One gambler follows another and suddenly GameStop shares show a tendency to rise in value. That in turn encourages less hardy gamblers to have a go as well; the curve up gets steeper. Now add two very large hedge funds to the mix who are 'short' with large amounts. They have to react and start buying at a loss. The price of the GameStop shares take off like a rocket. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">On January 28, 2021, Robinhood and its ilk placed restrictions on gambling on certain shares like GameStop and others caught up in the gamble. The others are American Airlines, BlackBerry, and AMC Entertainment. All four companies are now grossly overvalued and will ruin a lot of people when they regain their proper valuation. Class actions against these restrictions are already moving to court. We will see how far courts are willing to protect gamblers.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">The frenzy on these stocks has other repercussions as well. Whoever has any of them on 'short' options is now in trouble. That can be a severe loss to fund investors, liquidity problems, and outright bankruptcy scare. In the first instance, investors will start reclaiming their money if the loss was painful enough; the fund will probably go under. The other two scenarios mean that new funds must be found before they go under, too.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Further reading<br /><a href="https://stutenzeebooks.blogspot.com/2013/10/prophet-of-banking-crisis.html" target="_blank">Prophet of the Banking Crisis<br /></a><a href="http://stutenzeehistoryblog.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/how-money-came-to-dominate-our-lives.html" target="_blank">How Money Came to Dominate Our Lives<br /></a><a href="https://stutenzeecandyblog.blogspot.com/2020/11/how-economy-works.html" target="_blank">How Economy Works</a></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

font-size: medium;">After 6 lessons, you would think we have everything we need at home to survive a pandemic and the necessary emergency services in place, but if you followed my articles since Lesson 1, you will know I left out one little minor aspect of survival: Food. Love and air is all you need; or maybe not.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aTU39eZhZ4U/YBJbWZUeXVI/AAAAAAABbCw/Kc7g0_xElR0dk76OzuaoxrcAwlHqTN6awCLcBGAsYHQ/s1024/expert-fisher-shirtless-young-gay-boy-swimming-trunks-slim-adolescent-torso-blond-tan-line-fishing-tackle-bulge.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1024" data-original-width="756" height="200" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aTU39eZhZ4U/YBJbWZUeXVI/AAAAAAABbCw/Kc7g0_xElR0dk76OzuaoxrcAwlHqTN6awCLcBGAsYHQ/w148-h200/expert-fisher-shirtless-young-gay-boy-swimming-trunks-slim-adolescent-torso-blond-tan-line-fishing-tackle-bulge.jpg" width="148" /></a><span></span></span></p><a name='more'></a><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">I'll start out with the meat industry; if I start with vegetables and fruits, meat eaters feel immediately threatened by impending veganism. Meat grows on a farm, usually in form of an animal like beef, sheep, chicken, or pig. there have to be people who look after them, feed them, and clean up after them. The life animals aren't ready to be delivered home to feed the family. Most people are squeamish when it comes to slaughtering animals and preparing meat to cook. That means that butchers need to work as well as farmers and farmhands. And none of these are paid over the moon.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">The fishing fleet is responsible to bring in fish and seafood. Fishermen aren't well paid for the time they spend at sea, get soaked, and get frozen over by the weather.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Talking about cereals, fruits, vegetables, and roots, then we talk about labor intensive crops. To get the harvest in, harvesters are needed in numbers. These harvesters tend to come from far away, get cramped lodgings, and are paid near to nothing. We call them harvesters, but they also carry, load, unload, sort and pack. It's tiring and monotonous work that kills knees and back.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">All that food sitting in farms is not really doing anyone any good. Transport is key. Life animals must get to the slaughter house and meat to the shops or processing plants. Milk must find its destination. Fish must get to shops or processing plant. The other products must get to a shop, mill, or other kind of processing plant. All in all, we are talking about a lot of trains, trucks, lorries and vans that need drivers out in the pandemic. And none of these drivers has got a large wage check.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">The processing plants receiving these goods are run by people who are mostly on minimum wage. While you buy ready meals for four Dollars or Pounds or for one, the workers will still get paid their minimum wages. I'm mentioning this just in case you had some weird notion you would be doing something for the workers by buying the more expensive pack. And the products are all the same. Feel free to buy the cheap one.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Finally, everything gets to the shops where the goods are piled into the racks and showcases. All these workers are on minimum wages, but without them, the shops would be empty as a merchants soul. For you to be able to buy these products, further people are needed. Most of them are on minimum wages, and that includes security. For being paid like they were animals, they stare the pandemic in the eyes every day.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Further reading<br /><a href="https://stutenzeecandyblog.blogspot.com/2021/01/covid-19-lesson-6.html" target="_blank">Covid-19 Lesson 6<br /></a><a href="https://stutenzeecandyblog.blogspot.com/2021/01/covid-19-lesson-5.html" target="_blank">Covid-19 Lesson 5<br /></a><a href="https://stutenzeecandyblog.blogspot.com/2021/01/covid-19-lesson-4.html" target="_blank">Covid-19 Lesson 4</a></span></p><span style="font-family: verdana;

font-size: medium;">So far, I have taken you through a list of people who are way underpaid for what they do and most of whom are forgotten or glossed over by governments around the world. Now we come to a group of people who can't be ignored but are treated as if they were morons; when it is politicians who are the morons.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nqgFC8XU0Mc/YBH_tp9vZfI/AAAAAAABbB0/xU54bIMpLiwbgOyRzHDXsA-4HoTcSs72gCLcBGAsYHQ/s636/expert-bat-user-cricket-shirtless-gay-boy-teenager-nature-slim-torso-body-muscle-lad-twink-hunk-guy-sports-bloke.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="636" data-original-width="628" height="200" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nqgFC8XU0Mc/YBH_tp9vZfI/AAAAAAABbB0/xU54bIMpLiwbgOyRzHDXsA-4HoTcSs72gCLcBGAsYHQ/w198-h200/expert-bat-user-cricket-shirtless-gay-boy-teenager-nature-slim-torso-body-muscle-lad-twink-hunk-guy-sports-bloke.jpg" width="198" /></a><span></span></span></p><a name='more'></a><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">A phrase I resent extremely coming from lazy politicians is: 'For children, the virus is not such a great problem; but taking it home could result in further deaths'. What is missing here? If the children go to school, are they sitting there all on their own? Teachers seem to be a disposable commodity to any government; this has to do with their agenda of keeping people stupid. As former Prime Minister Gordon Brown (Labour) so aptly put it way back when: 'Stupid voters'. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">To get people to work, those with children need to get them somewhere. Nurseries, preschool, kindergarten, and school have to be up and running to free parents to go to work, essential or not. If these institutions stay closed, then at least one of the parents is blocked from leaving. Governments seem to think that they can send teachers out into the pandemic just like that. Has anyone ever heard that there are vaccines available? </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Children are less in danger of getting complications, and teachers can just be replaced as they fall. 'Vaccinations are going to plan.' Show me a government that has a plan; better, show me one that knows how to draw up a plan. Politicians don't know how to spell plan, it has more than three letters. Who then should be making that famous plan? And if someone really does make a plan, why on earth are we paying any money to politicians?</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Teachers nee to be vaccinated before the schools and other children related services reopen; otherwise there will be a teacher shortage to complement the shortage of qualified personnel in the NHS. We know that the employees at the NHS are underpaid with or without pandemic. Techers, too, are underpaid for what they have to put up with. The NHS was starved of money to get more money into the pockets of politicians and their cronies in business. Teachers are underpaid to make sure education is bad enough to guarantee that stupid politicians will be elected and reelected despite being nothing but morons.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">The failures that have piled up during the pandemic are ample proof that they must go, all of them, for ever, and that they have to be replaced by human beings that are not related, have not been to same school, and definitely were not members of Bullingdon's. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;

font-size: medium;">Boris Johnson must be congratulated. The first month out of the European Union isn't over yet, and the Brexit success stories are already piling up. I'll try to concentrate on the more relevant ones in this article. It takes a genius like the Prime Minister to get results this quick. It's all down to his superior intellect and his ability to make quick decisions to which he sticks like glue.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pTCDqLdyEzA/YBCNbqZpjjI/AAAAAAABbA8/DRAtbY5gn9gvZu_7z13uxDaTwyXUiEUeACLcBGAsYHQ/s869/drinking-cardinal-sin-gay-twink-hunk-shirtless-muscle-boy-tattoo-earring-smile-butch-torso-bodybuilder-tan-unshaved-ripped-jeans-ass.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="869" data-original-width="640" height="200" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pTCDqLdyEzA/YBCNbqZpjjI/AAAAAAABbA8/DRAtbY5gn9gvZu_7z13uxDaTwyXUiEUeACLcBGAsYHQ/w148-h200/drinking-cardinal-sin-gay-twink-hunk-shirtless-muscle-boy-tattoo-earring-smile-butch-torso-bodybuilder-tan-unshaved-ripped-jeans-ass.jpg" width="148" /></a><span></span></span></p><a name='more'></a><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">I can see it in your face. You think I'm being sarcastic again. You haven't seen anything yet. I just have to get into it slowly; the hourly cabinet U-turns in best Tory style are leaving me dizzy and disoriented. That is what gets people to vote for the Tories, they don't know what they are doing anymore; they are completely turned around and still trying to find out what is going on two hours back while the decisions from then have just been overturned at least twice.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Success number 1: The Brexit deal itself is a master piece of diplomacy. It is worse than Theresa May's deal or staying in the European Union. It might even be worse than no deal. It's uniquely Boris; has someone checked who is profiting from it and where they send his money?</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Success number 2: Boris has managed to separate Northern Ireland from the United Kingdom; if anyone thinks he is interested in keeping the United Kingdom unified, look at the Brexit deal and then try to say it again without laughing out loud. The clown has sold Northern Ireland to the European Union. Does anyone know where he gets his payment deposited?</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Success number 3: Boris has managed to anger enough Scots to make them want to leave the United Kingdom. No Prime Minister has ever had such a success at being divisive. First he made the country crash out of the European Union at a cost of over 30 billion pounds, then he sold Northern Ireland to the European Union, price unknown, and now he's <a href="https://stutenzeecandyblog.blogspot.com/2021/01/scottish-independence.html" target="_blank">getting rid of Scotland</a>. Next on the agenda: Chuck out Wales and sell Cornwall.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Success number 4: This one is a shining example of superior intelligence and leaders' forward thinking (or is that sinking?). He managed to claw back the a small part of the <a href="https://stutenzeecandyblog.blogspot.com/2021/01/british-fishing-and-brexit.html" target="_blank">fishing rights</a> in the waters claimed by the United Kingdom. There aren't enough ships to fish and there is no money to build them as the fishing industry is obsolete since 1973. There aren't enough fishermen to man such a fleet as they don't accrue enough points to immigrate and they get paid shit anyhow. And what is caught can't be exported to the European Union because of red tape (part of the blindingly successful Brexit deal Boris signed off on).</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Success number 5: Travel restrictions and bans have been coming this way by the dozens. Thanks to not being in the European Union anymore, the government has absolutely no say in Europe; as a now unimportant little country slipping off the edge of Europe, no one else really cares. Well done Boris, we might be cut off for good with all his diplomatic skills.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Success number 6: While all economic indicators are down, one important one is going up, rapidly. Tories can exclusively claim this as their major success in a difficult time; the unemployment rate is sky rocketing, and that based on the figures of November 2020. This doesn't include all the bankruptcies caused by Tory inequity that happened since then. And the worst is to come in summer, according to the experts.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Success number 7: We are cut off from the vaccine production spots. The European Union is putting restrictions in place to stop export to foreign countries. Nothing to do with us? Thanks to Brexit we are foreign country and will be lucky to get anything. It must swell little Boris's chest with pride everyday to know that he not only killed 100,000 people by lack of leadership, by dithering, by making U-turns every hour; now he will kill thousands more by being unable to procure vaccines for the people. Maybe that is his way of lowering unemployment figures?</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Brexit is indeed the success story of the century. Remember that when you go voting the next time; Tories are to blame for where we are, and Labour did nothing to stop the catastrophe. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Further reading<br /><a href="https://stutenzeecandyblog.blogspot.com/2021/01/flooding-and-covid-19.html" target="_blank">Flooding and Covid-19<br /></a><a href="https://stutenzeecandyblog.blogspot.com/2020/11/how-economy-works.html" target="_blank">How Economy Works<br /></a><a href="https://stutenzeecandyblog.blogspot.com/2014/01/what-pharmaceutical-industry-doesnt.html" target="_blank">What the Pharmaceutical Industry Doesn't Tell You</a></span></p><span style="font-family: verdana;

font-size: medium;">As a member of Clan Forbes, it is my sacred duty to promote Scottish independence; as I don't live there, I won't be voting once things have progressed so far. I live in London; as a taxpayer outside of Scotland, it is my sacred duty to promote Scottish independence. Once Scotland is out, taxes in the rest of the United Kingdom can be lowered to bearable levels. Sorry to my Forbes cousins, you'll go broke.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-us1YlkKVkI0/YA-NqnHAwEI/AAAAAAABbAc/9xEsblyFKuElaaUOa1022rGfLeEio-HuQCLcBGAsYHQ/s614/shirtless-gay-hunk-bathing-sea-foam-twink-model-boy-sunshine-spray-muscle-sport-bisexual-athlete.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="614" data-original-width="500" height="200" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-us1YlkKVkI0/YA-NqnHAwEI/AAAAAAABbAc/9xEsblyFKuElaaUOa1022rGfLeEio-HuQCLcBGAsYHQ/w163-h200/shirtless-gay-hunk-bathing-sea-foam-twink-model-boy-sunshine-spray-muscle-sport-bisexual-athlete.jpg" width="163" /></a><span></span></span></p><a name='more'></a><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Am I being sarcastic? I haven't even started yet. There are so many things wrong with the SNP that I will just stick to the most obvious fallacies and leave the details to others to fill in. Money is not the only thing, but it will always be present in every seemingly separate argument. Follow me into the abyss of Sottish fantasy.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Let's get the tax argument out of the way. The pertinent details can be retrieved from <a href="https://fullfact.org/economy/tax-and-spending-scotland/" target="_blank">Full Fact</a>. The horror of it, if you live in Scotland, is that a lot of expenses aren't yet included in that horrendous deficit currently piling up. Scotland will be bankrupt the moment it becomes independent. If you are a lender, I would consider that when handing out money. And the European Union has no interest to add another beggar to its ranks.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Costs coming Scotland's way are (just the ones I can currently think of): Interest payments on the loans Scotland has to take over in the divorce settlement; army, navy, air force running costs and buying of equipment; buying, equipping, and staffing about 200 embassies; membership fees for UN plus affiliate organizations, NATO; customs, border control and immigration officers, administration, border buildings; rebranding flags, car, ship, and airplane registrations; ministries, departments, agencies, secret service, loads of government employees. There is loads more. Some of these costs are fully or partly in the deficit, some are not. The deficit will go up rapidly.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">The little things Scotland is going to lose (just the ones I can currently think of): As Scotland is not a successor country to a defunct one (the UK still exists), all international treaties dating from after the Act of Union of 1707 will stay with the United Kingdom, treaties made under the seal of the King of Scotland before that date will still be applicable; gone are trade agreements, security arrangements, mutual agreements with anyone for anything; food export, drink export, ship building, all gone; Scottish diplomas worthless and not accepted in any country. The Scottish NHS will be at the mercy of the pharmaceutical robber barons as there are no contracts for any medications in place.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Why does the SNP want independence then? It's not for the good of the people; for years, the country would lapse into some sort of barter economy as borders are more or less closed and Scottish money worthless. They want it for themselves, personally. The fish heads, Salmon and Sturgeon, are dreaming of becoming President in a republic. How exciting, to be president of a third world country. Security costs will rocket as these pseudo VIPs think their importance is shown in the number of men in black dancing attendance on them. Germany has a president since after WWII; I remember Scheel and von Weizsaecker, the first as a genius of a diplomat in the cold war (not as president), the other as a philosopher. All other presidents were no-names, nobody knew them nobody cared, nobody remembers them. The security costs had to be spent anyhow. The argument of the 'elected head of state being better than a monarchy' has just been shown as a fantasy, too, thanks to Trump and his terrorists.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">For the rest of the United Kingdom, only a few things change; import from and export to Scotland will cease for a time; tax spending will go down; the illusion of being a world power can finally be shelved, no more GX summits to host or to visit; troops can be recalled, army, navy, air force an be cut down to an appropriate size for a small country on some islands; ship building contracts can be cancelled; government employees can be cut by about 50%. Would one dare to think of a balanced budget?</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">There is a comment section where you can add all the million little things I forgot that will cost the Scottish taxpayer; roads, bridges, trains, or other services; Fishing rights; compensation payments to companies that lose money due to lacking international treaties. Please use it, it's fun to think things like this through and stop to take everything for granted. And let's not forget the fun Scotland will have while waiting to be accepted as an independent state; Kosovo is still waiting for that and North Macedonia took years.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;

font-size: medium;">In my last article, I went through a list of commodities that we use at home and never think about too much how we get them. One thing that came out of all four previous articles was that these people have to get to work somehow. Due to people being terribly hidebound, most prefer to lose hours a day for traveling and pay through their noses for the privilege to use public transport or for their otherwise superfluous car.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iTPPAsrvlo8/YA0F4gHg_3I/AAAAAAABa_A/yt8YXuzgLdIqH-64bkXeGLIwmb3G2cslQCLcBGAsYHQ/s738/slim-biker-gear-clad-lad-gay-teenage-motorbike-rider-safety-gear-hungarian-overall-twink.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="738" data-original-width="440" height="200" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iTPPAsrvlo8/YA0F4gHg_3I/AAAAAAABa_A/yt8YXuzgLdIqH-64bkXeGLIwmb3G2cslQCLcBGAsYHQ/w119-h200/slim-biker-gear-clad-lad-gay-teenage-motorbike-rider-safety-gear-hungarian-overall-twink.jpg" width="119" /></a><span></span></span></p><a name='more'></a><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Getting to work on foot would be the most logical solution for everyone. But various factors usually prevent that. Bicycle would come next on the list, but here too, distance is of an essence. Which lets people choose a motorcycle or a car in a mistaken belief they somehow save time or money with it. The time usually disappears in the next bottle neck, or behind an accident; the money is gratefully accepted by overpriced insurance companies and the gas stations. Not to mention the garage doing the service and repairs. And all these people must be available during a pandemic.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">The more intelligent of working humans use public transport. First to mention the bus drivers seems only fair, as they are underpaid for the risk they run on the roads everyday. They take on a great amount of responsibility in dealing with headless pedestrians, moronic cyclists, stupid motorcyclists, and idiotic motorists. And their pay is not good.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Less stressed but still working on the over ground tracks and dealing with unexpected situations there, tram and train drivers could also be better paid. And to run the buses, the depots must run as well. To run the trams and trains, the engineers responsible for the tracks must be out beside the people in the depot.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Last to be mentioned are the people letting the underground trains run. Like other track related transport, there are stations to man; for the underground that is more employee intensive than for over ground services. Most employees in underground employ are not well paid. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">I exclude the London underground drivers (and drivers only) who are grossly overpaid thanks to their system of regularly holding the capital to ransom with their evil strikes. My favorite strike was the one when they went on strike because one moronic driver had been sacked after being found drunk on shift three times. Those same drivers went on strike a month later because of something or other with the express explanation that 'they cared extremely for the safety of the passengers'. I would expect them to not only not strike because of an alcoholic but to throw him actively out. Or is it more secure if they are drunk because they are so bad at their job?</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">On a total, the employees of public transport have to be pitied like all the rest of the essential services, and will be let down by their respective employers as soon as possible. Public transport should never be in private hands, because then it is private transport. Public should be run by the public. And anyone living behind the seven mountains who absolutely has to use a car to fulfill a job commitment in civilization, ignore my idiotic comment. City dwellers on the other hand know where to find a mirror to point at the culprit.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Further reading<br /><a href="https://stutenzeecandyblog.blogspot.com/2021/01/covid-19-lesson-4.html" target="_blank">Covid-19 Lesson 4<br /></a><a href="https://stutenzeecandyblog.blogspot.com/2021/01/covid-19-lesson-3.html" target="_blank">Covid-19 Lesson 3<br /></a><a href="https://stutenzeecandyblog.blogspot.com/2021/01/covid-19-lesson-2.html" target="_blank">Covid-19 Lesson 2<br /></a><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

font-size: medium;">So far we had the people that keep us from being overrun by the rat kings cohorts, the people who keep us safe from brigands and being burned alive, and the ambulances and hospitals that battle Covid-19 directly apart from all the other stuff that makes us ill. Time to open up the next box and show whom we so easily forget.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-l0PMr9qDojo/YAzon9LV9MI/AAAAAAABa-A/G9K3lC0g-94vbXc2f4H5brtXgjJgEA-nQCLcBGAsYHQ/s557/zac-efron-gay-naked-shower-twink-hunk-soapy-wet-glistening-smooth-hairless-chest-public-locker-room.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="557" data-original-width="427" height="200" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-l0PMr9qDojo/YAzon9LV9MI/AAAAAAABa-A/G9K3lC0g-94vbXc2f4H5brtXgjJgEA-nQCLcBGAsYHQ/w153-h200/zac-efron-gay-naked-shower-twink-hunk-soapy-wet-glistening-smooth-hairless-chest-public-locker-room.jpg" width="153" /></a><span></span></span></p><a name='more'></a><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">There are people out there looking after our welfare. Depending on where you live, the priorities might shift. Contrary to popular belief, electricity doesn't just materialize out of the plug, water isn't just running from the tap, and gas for cooking or oil for heating don't just rain down on us by God's grace. Al these basic items are dependent on people working out there in the pandemic. Has anyone heard Boris Johnson or any of his goons talking about them? For Joe Biden and Kamala Harris it's too early to judge.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">To get electricity into our homes, we need staffed power plants, looked after power grids, and engineers that help us in an emergency. Without these people, nature would enjoy the total blackout every night. We on the other hand would say goodbye to air conditioning, electric heating, electric cookers, ovens, microwaves and generally anything that needs to be plugged in. You might think of computers, phones, or alarm systems.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">And there would be no hot water from the electric boiler, either. If there was any water. Water has to be collected in reservoirs, cleaned, treated and distributed. There are people doing that for us out there. And when the plumbing goes, plumbers are most welcome. Getting water from the store or a distribution point is most annoying and heavy work; two liters or even a gallon don't get you very far. And the water has to go somewhere after we use it. More people working out there for us to make sure we don't drown in you know what.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">If any part of your household is dependent on natural gas for cooking or heating, then you have to consider all the people working on drilling, pipelines, storage facilities, distribution centers, and lookin after the grid. Add the engineers that come looking after your stuff when needed. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Which brings us to the last heating possibility. If you use oil to heat your home and your water, then again you have to think about people looking after drilling, pipelines, storage, and local transport. That's only the tip of the iceberg, though. Light heating oil is identical to diesel except in color and price. It takes little imagination that we need people at gas stations to serve all the essential workers commuting by car as well as the essential services we talked about in the earlier lessons.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">You might guess that all these jobs aren't excessively well paid; none of the people I mentioned in four lessons can compare to Jeff Bezos who rakes in billions a day. Yet if Jeff Bezos decided not to come to work, no one would notice; if these people decide to drop out, we would be well and truly fucked.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Further reading<br /><a href="https://stutenzeecandyblog.blogspot.com/2021/01/covid-19-lesson-3.html" target="_blank">Covid-19 Lesson 3<br /></a><a href="https://stutenzeecandyblog.blogspot.com/2021/01/covid-19-lesson-2.html" target="_blank">Covid-19 Lesson 2<br /></a><a href="https://stutenzeecandyblog.blogspot.com/2021/01/covid-19-lesson-1.html" target="_blank">Covid-19 Lesson 1</a><br /></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

font-size: medium;">One of the quaintest industries in Britain is the fishing industry. It lost all of its viability in 1973 when the government sold it out to the European Union by becoming a member. Since then it had been a long tale of bankruptcy and buyout to foreign nations who were cleverer than the clumsy fools in 10 Downing Street at that time and since then.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/--n4KI2GVkLk/YAyKPrk8rjI/AAAAAAABa8E/NrG2mvMVx9M6W-wxxufPz7UlwJR61nLkwCLcBGAsYHQ/s884/pre-teen-gay-model-slim-skinny-dog-outdoors-garden-bulge-jeans-jacket-lean-look.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="884" data-original-width="591" height="200" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/--n4KI2GVkLk/YAyKPrk8rjI/AAAAAAABa8E/NrG2mvMVx9M6W-wxxufPz7UlwJR61nLkwCLcBGAsYHQ/w134-h200/pre-teen-gay-model-slim-skinny-dog-outdoors-garden-bulge-jeans-jacket-lean-look.jpg" width="134" /></a><span></span></span></p><a name='more'></a><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Someone said that leaving the European Union was the worst political decision in the history of the United Kingdom. They were wrong, the worst decision was to enter the European Union. Because that opened the door to wholesale slaughter of formerly viable industries. The carcasses of industrial doom can be seen all over the landscape of Britain. In the years since 1973, Britain adapted and opened new ways of earning money. Brexit is doing its best slaughtering them, too.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Which brings us to the second worst political decision: Brexit. Many obsolete industries teamed up with reactionaries, conservatives watching the world from their country piles, and naïve believers in the good old times and national sovereignty. The somnolent fishing industry was one of these industries. Together, they managed to convince the gullible and the stupid to vote for Brexit.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">The leader boards of the national fishing industries had a well thought out plan for the post Brexit period. It can be summed up as 'give us back our fish and all is well'. Minor impediments would just disappear into thin air because sovereignty and the wind in their hair would heal all wounds. There aren't enough British ships to haul in all the fish; but Brexit would make them appear out of thin air. Not to mention the fishermen. There is nothing like Boris magic.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">With this brilliant and detailed strategy they stood firmly behind Boris Johnson, also known as the 'Mayor of little brains' and 'Boris-the-Pooh' while he lied his way through figures, numbers, and money. His only aim was to become Prime Minister, anything else was secondary. Now he is the only Prime Minister branded a criminal by the country's highest court for his try to outmaneuver the constitution with the constitution. Last I heard between 100 U-turns concerning Covid-19, he made a terrible deal with the European Union to regulate trade and fishing rights.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Going back to the brilliant strategy of the brainiac leaders of the fishing industry, you will notice one really minor slight omission; there was no mention of trading the caught fish to anyone. Getting them out of the water is all that counts for these giants of business acumen. And that is what Boris the Sleaze did; he secured the fishing rights and threw them to the wolves where trading is concerned.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">The consequence was fishing lorries demonstrating in London because 'selling fish to Europe is an administrative nightmare'. One wonders why the demonstration was held in London, the headquarters of the fishing industry NFFO are in York; the morons sit there and in other national fishing organizations. If any of them really believed that they could just snatch back the fishing rights and continue trading with the European Union as before, then they need their brains scanned.

The fishing industry wanted Brexit, they got it, now they should pay for it. Throwing good taxpayer money after bad into an industry that is too stupid to plan ahead makes absolutely no sense.

font-size: medium;">It rained on the parade of Boris Johnson's devising. Instead of being able to bask in the sunshine of Covid-19 vaccination, heavy flooding in the United Kingdom combined with Covid-19 to create the perfect storm. If anyone thinks coincidence, then think again. Both things were foreseeable and could have been mitigated with proper management. </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP2bu8FIu_mY4TsM4wQsXzyToqvI4J2I-BPabP-jTc0sJsrZ9KK5kHnB2jr561CCrgMHIPNULVf4frab4CTdfejgtGRz3j0dVh8TxL-10DQvaodhyjX7S3SmwvJ1i3hLK6-ETZ4izhAeee/s590/young-hairless-boy-muscle-shirt-gay-adolescent-teenager-hairless-slim-teen-model-male-sexuality.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="590" data-original-width="398" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP2bu8FIu_mY4TsM4wQsXzyToqvI4J2I-BPabP-jTc0sJsrZ9KK5kHnB2jr561CCrgMHIPNULVf4frab4CTdfejgtGRz3j0dVh8TxL-10DQvaodhyjX7S3SmwvJ1i3hLK6-ETZ4izhAeee/w135-h200/young-hairless-boy-muscle-shirt-gay-adolescent-teenager-hairless-slim-teen-model-male-sexuality.JPG" width="135" /></a><span></span></span></p><a name='more'></a><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">In the article <a href="https://stutenzeecandyblog.blogspot.com/2021/01/covid-19-lesson-3.html" target="_blank">Covid-19 Lesson 3</a>, I showed that not having a health system in place like the United States, or saving the existing one to death as in the United Kingdom resulted in a system collapse. Not being prepared for a pandemic is inexcusable and entirely the fault of politicians. We were warned since 1919 and the <a href="https://stutenzeehistoryblog.blogspot.com/2021/01/spanish-flu-and-covid-19.html" target="_blank">Spanish Flu</a>, and all the lessons from that could have been learned. But politicians are so busy lining their own pockets, there is no time for history lessons.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">The result of this stubborn refusal to prepare for the foreseeable is always the same. Take an example from snow; one inch of snow, and the capital London collapses sometimes for days. Every year, every time there is a smidgen of snow. I don't think stupid is the right term for politicians, moronic is more apt.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Flooding does the same as snow does, it comes every year, sometimes several times a year. Every time, politicians promise to build better, stronger, more manageable flood systems. They even go so far to name sums of money. But as soon as the water has gone, so has the money. It is spent on much more important things called vanity projects.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">One such total waste of billions of pounds was a vanity project called Olympic Games 2012. Completely surplus and now underused venues had to be built at enormous cost. The building quality was typically British; it was so lousy that the Stadium had leaky roofs by 2014. The Olympic Stadium in Munich was built in 1972 and is still going strong.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">After throwing out billions on sports venues we could live without, we then had to keep them going. Millions of pounds go every year into running the Velodrome, the Aquatics Center, London Stadium, the Copper Box and other even more obscure venues. And while the Olympic Games went on, big business profited from venue access and small businesses on the access routes were going bankrupt because they had to close.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">While these billions were wasted on self adulation, flooding defense went unheeded and unfunded. If all that wasted money had been spent in the flooding sector, most flooding news would be news from yesteryear. But as fat cat politicians don't have houses in the flooded areas, who cares? If Boris the Pooh had a house in Doncaster, flood defenses would have been built the day he became Prime Minister.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">A perfect storm? Yes, but a perfect storm for politicians. It finally shows people how worthless they are. They are unable to deal with a pandemic; worse, they are unable to deal with yearly occurrences. Why do we have them? Is there a reason why they get paid more than dole money for doing nothing? It is time to come up with a plan B where we can forget we ever heard the word politicians.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Further reading<br /><a href="https://stutenzeecandyblog.blogspot.com/2021/01/covid-19-lesson-2.html" target="_blank">Covid-19 Lesson 2<br /></a><a href="https://stutenzeecandyblog.blogspot.com/2021/01/covid-19-lesson-1.html" target="_blank">Covid-19 Lesson 1<br /></a><a href="https://stutenzeecandyblog.blogspot.com/2020/11/how-economy-works.html" target="_blank">How Economy Works</a></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

font-size: medium;">In the first two lessons we learned from Covid-19, we were outside, looking at the services we take for granted even now, though they are not and paid like they didn't matter. We move inside now to the service we all have come to appreciate and rely on more than ever. Hospitals are the linchpin of what is being done against the pandemic. And yet, there are lessons to be learned even here after we learned some already.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjelOfqoIa33LYd8fJBalakNys3TUvQKaB5QovRCg_itvU8NGn77O4zRrJob5xcfBii52VR4fYYWqSXAGltdCAg2awDsn3hEhk8DFKe02HQKXqj6KPOfqQWIk0IjXD0MBTe_-M4QG3dGPb2/s456/young-gay-hairless-teen-gay-boy-string-slip-strip-large-eyes-smooth-skin-dark-hair-ear-ring.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="456" data-original-width="349" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjelOfqoIa33LYd8fJBalakNys3TUvQKaB5QovRCg_itvU8NGn77O4zRrJob5xcfBii52VR4fYYWqSXAGltdCAg2awDsn3hEhk8DFKe02HQKXqj6KPOfqQWIk0IjXD0MBTe_-M4QG3dGPb2/w153-h200/young-gay-hairless-teen-gay-boy-string-slip-strip-large-eyes-smooth-skin-dark-hair-ear-ring.jpg" width="153" /></a><span></span></span></p><a name='more'></a><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">One thing that must bug everyone including hospital staff is the selective memory of politicians; or their utter lack of knowledge of how a hospital is run and what it takes to keep one going. There are doctors and nurses; no disrespect, you'll be widely ignored in this article in favor of others in your hospital. What needs saying is that both doctors and nurses are vastly underpaid for what they do normally; and now it is plain ridiculous considering the pressure of a pandemic in winter.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">For doctors to function, nurses are irreplaceable; someone put up a picture in social media with a terribly complicated array of tubes and small machines all intended for one patient. The caption was 'thank you nurses for installing all this when doctors don't know where to start putting this together'.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">But there are the pharmacists, the porters, the cleaners, the janitors, the security, and a host of other good people all doing their bit in the teeth of the pandemic; they're as exposed to the virus as any doctor or nurse, yet they have been edited out by politicians for being to complicated to mention; and nobody should know that they, too, function on minimal wages. Is anyone seriously surprised they quit as soon as possible? </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">The low wages in hospitals have an easy reason: Politicians have starved the hospitals of cash while at the same time introducing more and more red tape and so called management. The result was and is that hospitals have less money for the frontline and at the same time have to add non-essential administration jobs to comply with all the worthless information ministers require only to make themselves look good. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">It is a fact that can be seen now during Covid-19, that not having a health system, like the US, or one that is systematically dismantled by shortening money to the point where it barely works on fair weather days, is the main reason why the economy collapsed. Had there been reserves in the health system, then reserves in the population could have been shielded better. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Covid-19 isn't the killer, politicians since 1919 are the killers. Despite the Spanish Flu and its lessons to humanity, they soon started to reassign money to more important things than being prepared; like upping their own income, paying themselves higher expenses, and increasing their useless travel mileage. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Two decisions come readily to hand: One was British parliament denying hungry children food while at the same time increasing their own overpaid wages. The other was the shameful show in the US Capitol where billions were pumped into private companies that don't even pay real taxes while denying the workless population a drop of money to enable them to pay rent and buy some food.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Is it a wonder that people despise politicians? Nobody trusts their lying faces. No one can take anything they say seriously. They are a posse of work-shy individuals with only one goal: Shovel as much money into their own pockets at the expense of whoever and whatever. Despicable me? Despicable them. Don't give a politician a hand in greeting, they carry ugly bugs.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Further reading<br /><a href="https://stutenzeecandyblog.blogspot.com/2021/01/covid-19-lesson-2.html" target="_blank">Covid-19 Lesson 2<br /></a><a href="https://stutenzeecandyblog.blogspot.com/2021/01/covid-19-lesson-1.html" target="_blank">Covid-19 Lesson 1<br /></a><a href="https://stutenzeehistoryblog.blogspot.com/2021/01/spanish-flu-and-covid-19.html" target="_blank">Spanish Flu and Covid-19</a></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Save Money!<p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">How often have you fallen for that lie? How often have you wished you hadn't listened to advertising serving you lies? All these sales are a con, some more so than others. Government agencies are trying to prevent the criminally fraudulent ones; but there are so many legal frauds, who can distinguish between one and the other? And make no mistake, at 50%, shops are still making a killing.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rkRmL1f7rpc/X_zgpBcR5SI/AAAAAAABa2I/TXSlM8XW6HUDejXiB8a1M46zYiJiHMoIgCLcBGAsYHQ/s641/twink-hunk-male-model-gay-shirtless-muscle-torso-bulging-pecs-abs-sixpack-bearded-sexy-beautiful-guy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="641" data-original-width="445" height="200" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rkRmL1f7rpc/X_zgpBcR5SI/AAAAAAABa2I/TXSlM8XW6HUDejXiB8a1M46zYiJiHMoIgCLcBGAsYHQ/w139-h200/twink-hunk-male-model-gay-shirtless-muscle-torso-bulging-pecs-abs-sixpack-bearded-sexy-beautiful-guy.jpg" width="139" /></a><span></span></span></p><a name='more'></a><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Sales used to be limited to certain times of the year, when shops were seriously trying to reduce their stock of seasonal stuff to make room for the new stuff the wanted to peddle to the sheep spending their money like so much hay. Then competition got so fierce thanks to budget lines that there is no day without a sale starting or ending somewhere for something.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">First, the criminally fraudulent sales are mostly committed by pop up shops. They rent an empty shop and fill it with trash. Then they invent old prices and promote the sales prices at a discount of 50% or more. It's all fairy tales; if you haven't seen the shop before, don't go there. You get second best wares and you will have no place to go when it breaks after a few months. The shop owners will have disappeared without leaving a trace.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Second, the legally permitted fraudulent sales are mostly committed by large shop chains. They find a company that is going bankrupt and buy up its stock. They then put that stock up for over the top prices which no one seriously will pay. After six weeks, the whole shebang goes on sale at 50% of the original OTT price. Any sales are a triumph. Later, they go to 70% discounts, and they are still making money like hay. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Some shops increase their prices on good products by 50% for the legally required time. Then they reduce the price to what they initially wanted. For example: A bar of chocolate costs 90 cents, they actually would like a price of 1.10 dollars. If they just increase the price, everybody will complain how prices always go up. Instead, they increase the price to 1.35 dollars, then reduce it to 1.10. In the advert, they promote how they are reducing prices showing the 1.35 versus 1.10 dollars price reduction. And people fall for it.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">The worst thing is that anyone would believe they are saving money in a sale at all. What do you do when you go to a sale? You spend money. That should be so obvious, I'm ashamed I have to spell it out so clearly. But I know too many people who showed me a new TV set and said they saved money in the sale. There was nothing wrong with their old TV set. Go figure.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">If you really want to save money, only buy what you really need. In daily life, a shopping list to stick to is the best antidote against impulse buying. For larger investments, plenty of planning time helps to keep the 'I want' from getting bought; hold tight and only allow the 'I need to survive' to be bought. The first stop should be charity shops; they usually have what you need to survive at low prices. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Further reading<br /><a href="https://stutenzeehistoryblog.blogspot.com/2013/03/how-money-came-to-dominate-our-lives.html" target="_blank">How Money Came To Dominate Our Lives<br /></a><a href="https://stutenzeecandyblog.blogspot.com/2020/11/only-stupid-people-pay-for-same-thing.html" target="_blank">Only Stupid People Pay For The Same Thing Twice<br /></a><a href="https://stutenzeecandyblog.blogspot.com/2013/11/wine-for-christmas-gum-arabic-vintages.html" target="_blank">Gum Arabic Wines For Christmas</a></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

font-size: medium;">Covid-19 has been a good teacher. But the content of the lessons has come fast, furious, and in abundance. I'm tryin to break the flood of information down to bitesize morsels in the hope we won't forget too soon. Lesson 1 was about the invisible workers; Lesson 2 is about the forgotten ones out in the street.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GcvHVCtbqK4/X_ykDReI73I/AAAAAAABa1E/SSTwirRmTa8snjXW5thMQ9JUzr3aZ6fgQCLcBGAsYHQ/s639/shirtless-hunky-worker-rescuing-cat-from-tree-shaved-pits-gay-nude-chested-teen-boy-body-builder-helmet-garden-strip.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="639" data-original-width="453" height="200" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GcvHVCtbqK4/X_ykDReI73I/AAAAAAABa1E/SSTwirRmTa8snjXW5thMQ9JUzr3aZ6fgQCLcBGAsYHQ/w142-h200/shirtless-hunky-worker-rescuing-cat-from-tree-shaved-pits-gay-nude-chested-teen-boy-body-builder-helmet-garden-strip.jpg" width="142" /></a><span></span></span></p><a name='more'></a><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Lesson 1 covered the pillars of civilization, the people who keep our surroundings clean and keep the rat king at bay. Lesson 2 will go into the public services that are graciously overlooked until it is too late. They aren't invisible, the political left and right have been busy reducing the money going there to make sure there is more to stuff their own pockets.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">One service that is always overlooked is the fire brigade. If no one remembers to light up at least one house a month, some political dimwits (ok, they are all dimwitted, or they wouldn't be in politics) will find a way to cut the budget and divert it into their own pockets. Once they houses are burning, they are the first to blame the fire brigade for not doing its job. They hope that dimwitted people like themselves will believe that and forget that it was the same politicians that had crippled the service by starving it of money. We can look forward to closing down most fire stations once politicians try to find money after Covid-19.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Then we have the police. There are two ways of killing the law enforcement. One is to reduce it to a skeletal force that can't keep up with anything. The administration with all the overpaid managerial posts stay the same (after all one is the brother or cousin of the politicians who suck out the money); the investigative arms and the street security officers are sacked. Only petty crime can be investigated because statistics go by quantity, not quality. See, we managed to solve the same amount of crimes as before (net worth before was 1 billion, now it is 1 million).</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">The second way to kill the law enforcement is to leave it the money it needs and then misappropriate it into the favorite hobbyhorses of politicians. Instead of investing into the education of the officers, some obscure target group is set up that will prosecute anyone with a cat (because the politician in charge is allergic to cat hair), or homeless people because they are dirty and smell. What police officers need is education; the unlearning of knee jerk reactions like black is bad, or something in their hands are always guns, or girls and boys claiming rape always lie. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">We can look forward to one of two scenarios. Either the money is sucked out to cover Covid-19 costs; or it's pumped into a special force to investigate people who haven't spent their stimulus checks in the US or people who really stayed at home when told to in the UK.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">The third group is not quite as forgotten now than it usually is. The specialists who man the ambulances have the enviable task of attending case scenarios all the time. Anything from the real victims of ill health, attacks, or accidents to the abusers of alcohol, drugs, and food (aka people dying of their own volition by piling on fat and never moving a muscle to do something about it). For all their trouble, there are people who try to accuse them when they can't unload at the hospitals. Be real. After Covid-19, we can expect them to suffer as money is diverted into the NHS.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Did you think you were suffering under Covid-19 until now? Just you wait. Politicians will make you suffer in ways Covid-19 will never be able to. Don't forget that it was you who were stupid enough to elect these greedy dimwits into the positions where they can make your life hell.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Further reading<br /><a href="https://stutenzeecandyblog.blogspot.com/2021/01/covid-19-lesson-1.html" target="_blank">Covid-19 Lesson 1<br /></a><a href="https://stutenzeehistoryblog.blogspot.com/2021/01/spanish-flu-and-covid-19.html" target="_blank">Spanish Flu And Covid-19</a><br /><a href="https://stutenzeecandyblog.blogspot.com/2020/11/how-economy-works.html" target="_blank">How Economy Works</a></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;

font-size: medium;">Advertising is a constant pain on the radio, television, the internet. But it is necessary to pay for the entertainment we get. Once we were kids, and pooh sticks was a game we played. No advertising, no hassle. Which means intelligent entertainment doesn't need advertising; only greed needs it. The only joy one gets from advertising is when it goes wrong. And how it can go wrong. Follow me to the gallery of fails.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ap52biUIc0I/X_t2WZNaz5I/AAAAAAABa0k/0syZ7gAQzB8T6AITfmQzvK2ogo1CedrVACLcBGAsYHQ/s591/teen-hunk-gay-v-breast-t-shirt-nude-pecs-boy-guy-man-picture-image-mirror-photograph.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="591" data-original-width="448" height="200" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ap52biUIc0I/X_t2WZNaz5I/AAAAAAABa0k/0syZ7gAQzB8T6AITfmQzvK2ogo1CedrVACLcBGAsYHQ/w152-h200/teen-hunk-gay-v-breast-t-shirt-nude-pecs-boy-guy-man-picture-image-mirror-photograph.JPG" width="152" /></a><span></span></span></p><a name='more'></a><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Advertising should do several things all at the same time; to this end, advertisers or the huge companies that sell their services in advertising are limited to about 30 seconds. One ad in a million is the strike of genius; some few are good; the vast majority is humdrum but within what the client expects; some are just so wrong for the divers of reasons.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">My favorite hate is the Head & Shoulders ad, not the one with the stupid woman who's name escapes me; that is bad enough. It's the one with the most intelligent line 'removes up to 100% of dandruff'. Really? When I first heard it, I thought I had a fever dream. No one can be so totally demented as to have a line like that in an ad. But it was there, and I never bought the product again, after all, up to included zero; keep your crap guys. The same stupidity can be seen in numerous ads in the beauty sector. If short on facts, sell up to 100%.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Years and years back, there was a radio ad that was so unbelievably funny that I almost drove off the road because I was laughing so hard. There were so many jokes hidden in the 30 seconds, it never got old, and kept on amusing everyone. None of my friends or I ever got what the ad was for; neither the brand nor the product name, style or type. I would say that qualifies as a fail, even if the entertainment value was better than most comedy shows.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">French television had, also years in the past, an advert for cars that stuck in my mind. You saw a small red car drive towards a red light using the left hand lane; a woman was driving, beside her a gorgeous male escort. There was the same kind of car waiting at the red light right hand lane. Her hand went to a button and the seat with the escort lowered down and reclined hiding him from view. She opened the window talking to the older gentleman in the other car 'Dinner at the usual time?'. He confirmed, the light turned green and he turned right, she went straight. The hand hit the button again, and a gorgeous male escort appeared on the passenger seat coming up. But it was in the man's car, no the lady. Unhappily, I never got which make the cars were. Fail. And to make it clear, that was years after the Ford Escort; that would have been brilliant.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">German television had a car ad in a snow storm at about the same time. A car drove up a pass road to a lonely chalet. Cut into the chalet, where a blond woman makes herself ready to receive someone. Cut back to the car in the storm. Cut back into the chalet where a black haired woman made herself ready. Sorry? Blond or black? The driver parks up in front of the chalet and goes inside. Black hair says: 'Won't you wife expect you?' He answered 'not in this weather'. Cut to a car parking up in front of a chalet. The driver enters and asked: 'Won't your husband come home soon?' Blond hair answered 'not in this weather'. And come to think of it, it might have been an advert for tires. Definitely a fail.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Purina currently has an ad on radio where a woman's voice waxes lyrical about how well her cat is doing since she feeds her Purina. She even advises other cat owners to enter the Purina three weeks challenge to se how their cat is doing. And then she goes on: 'Your pet, our passion. Because we care.' And I just thought wait, that was the 'customer' who just outed herself as an employee. I was so annoyed by this that I wrote an email to Purina when I felt like ranting at somebody. Come to think of it, I haven't heard the ad since then.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">The last category are the Christmas ads. Pretty, but entirely useless for someone like me. I can't remember last year's; I don't know who's carrot it is or who has snowmen for Advent. All they do is blow money into the chimney that could have gone to charity or to reduce prices. As my gran used to say: 'Don't buy any products that you read, see or hear about in adverts. They have a problem and lack quality, or they wouldn't need to make those adverts. The price is the same or more than for real quality and you just pay for these ads on top.'</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Further reading<br /><a href="https://stutenzeehistoryblog.blogspot.com/2013/09/lohengrin-sweet-history-of-product.html" target="_blank">Product Placement<br /></a><a href="https://stutenzeewritings.blogspot.com/2020/11/successful-brands-use-visuals-to-jog.html" target="_blank">Branding by Avatar<br /></a><a href="https://stutenzeewritings.blogspot.com/2015/09/use-pictures-to-brand-your-online.html" target="_blank">Use Pictures to Brand Your Writing</a></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

font-size: medium;">I will rather haphazardly go through all the things we learned from Covid-19; mostly it's things we knew before, but never appreciated. Let's make some time and get it all out into the open to give the brain some air. The first lesson is about invisible people. Are you thinking homeless? There are people even more invisible, isn't that frightening?</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZkshIuHWox8/X_tK1iZzAbI/AAAAAAABazw/L9pEpHT1vVAxMtGA72VNAQVmjHD9Jya-QCLcBGAsYHQ/s639/working-hunk-bulging-muscles-sassy-ass-jens-shirt-sweat-lifting-ton.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="639" data-original-width="456" height="200" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZkshIuHWox8/X_tK1iZzAbI/AAAAAAABazw/L9pEpHT1vVAxMtGA72VNAQVmjHD9Jya-QCLcBGAsYHQ/w143-h200/working-hunk-bulging-muscles-sassy-ass-jens-shirt-sweat-lifting-ton.jpg" width="143" /></a><span></span></span></p><a name='more'></a><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Lesson 1 has nothing to do with charity and everything to do with litter, crap, and garbage. I am talking of the pillars of civilization without whom rats would be the dominant species on this planet. Humans are litterbugs, throwing away stuff that could have been reused, throwing away stuff where it should go into readily available bins, throwing stuff away out in nature when camping, driving, cycling, walking, hiking, or climbing.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">First heroes to be mentioned therefore are street sweepers who keep our streets clean as well as their understaffed shifts allow. They dal with all the garbage humans throw away without squandering a thought about where it is going over night. And, you might have guessed, the street sweepers are part of the huge army of the lowest paid workers in any country in the world. Cleaning up the Starbucks cup thrown away by a fat cat banker for almost no pay is not fun.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Out in the country side, we have park wardens and the much suffering owners of farms, tourist spots, and forests. While their pay is usually higher, their shifts are even more understaffed than what is usual for street sweepers. And the area they have to cover is often inhuman.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Beside too much littering outdoors, every household produces tons of garbage every year. Where do you put it? Use the garden to pile it up o rot? The bin men will sort it out. Every day, they fight the battle of getting all the unnecessary stuff off you, with all its hazards and stench. And yes, they again belong to the worst paid people in any country in the world. But without them, rats would have overrun us ages ago.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Having dealt with what is going on outside and what is coming from inside to the outside world, there are the janitors in all the hospitals, office buildings, state buildings, and so on. Without them none of us would ever go to a toilet in a school or anywhere else public. Public buildings and offices would look like pigsties. And again, janitors are paid near to nothing.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Covid-19 has made me mindful of these important jobs. It's better to pay for more street sweepers, more bin men, and more janitors and prevent disease at the source, than for one more useless real estate agent, banker, insurance broker, or state agency employee. And their work should be paid adequately to the importance of it.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Further reading<br /><a href="https://stutenzeehistoryblog.blogspot.com/2021/01/spanish-flu-and-covid-19.html" target="_blank">Spanish Flu And Covid-19<br /></a><a href="https://stutenzeecandyblog.blogspot.com/2020/11/how-economy-works.html" target="_blank">How Economy Works<br /></a><a href="http://stutenzeehistoryblog.blogspot.com/2013/03/how-money-came-to-dominate-our-lives.html" target="_blank">How Money Came To Dominate Our Lives</a></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

font-size: medium;">Being insured against all kinds of calamities makes you feel better, safe, and secure. House, flat, content, car, life, income, funeral costs; you name it and there is an insurance company that will cover it. The friendly insurance broker will find you the best and cheapest way to insure your every life aspect with the nicest most paying insurance company. Or is he and are they?</span><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pL0TsvHbXmI/X_S26D4rrvI/AAAAAAABawU/b31W5tltRpE5tMq6cvXP02izD6qMNRGqACLcBGAsYHQ/s695/swedish-blond-young-gay-preteen-portrait-model-boy-smooth-soft-skin-long-hair-shirt-bones.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="695" data-original-width="467" height="200" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pL0TsvHbXmI/X_S26D4rrvI/AAAAAAABawU/b31W5tltRpE5tMq6cvXP02izD6qMNRGqACLcBGAsYHQ/w134-h200/swedish-blond-young-gay-preteen-portrait-model-boy-smooth-soft-skin-long-hair-shirt-bones.jpg" width="134" /></a><span><a name='more'></a></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Let's go through the process of insuring a car step by step. We'll have a closer look at what is really going on. None of the claims are exactly what they say, none of them are exactly what they want you to believe, and none of them are what you expected in the first place. Welcome to the world of sure deception. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Go to a comparison website and compare the various offers from insurance companies to insure your car. There are a few minor drawbacks in using a comparison site. For one, some insurance companies make it a point of marketing not to be on any of these comparison sites. On the other hand, the site must earn money; insurance companies therefore pay commissions to the comparison sites. And if a company doesn't pay commissions, then it won't appear on the site. It is in the interest of the site owners to get the highest commissions, any ranking will reflect that.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">You could go to an independent insurance broker and get him to do the work for you. What does the insurance broker earn? Right, commissions from the insurance company. That again will influence his ranking system just as it did with the comparison sites. And he'll probably bill you for their services, too. Doesn't sound like a perfect solution to me.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Comparing the offers yourself would be the final solution. That's when you will understand that each offer differs from any other in just enough points to make it incomparable. It also gives you the answer to whether you should use a comparison site or a broker. They can't really compare the offers either; but they do get a commission when they bring anew customer. If you go directly to an insurance company, ask for a discount as they don't have to pay commissions to get you as a client.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">We know now that you can't trust anyone but yourself to get an insurance contract. But what is the insurance company really offering you? Yes, we are talking about a car insurance, but that was not the point of my question. What is the companies interest in gaining you as a client? Where is the catch?</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">The catch lies in the fact that you completely misunderstood what an insurance company does. The company isn't there to help you, to insure you, or to save you from any kind of damage. The company is there to make as much profit as it can, pay the highest possible dividend to its shareholders, and the highest possible boni to the fat cat managers. How can this be achieved?</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">The aim of the insurance contract is to offer you as little coverage as possible at the highest possible price with as many exclusion clauses as feasible. Cashing in your monthly payment is the good thing; when you have an incident, then the cogwheels start to spin. Whole droves of experts and lawyers don't do anything but find excuses not to pay the claim; all tricks allowed and legal proceedings almost certain.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">To get this all together; the insurance company employs two kinds of key workers, the salesman bringing in the monthly payments and his external counterparts in the comparison site business and the brokerage business. They make the money come in. The other key workers are those that prevent claims being approved or worse paid out. Any claims by insurance companies of 100% of claims paid is a legal fib. The statement is dependent on how you define claim, what claims you allow into the sample to get 100 %, and what paid means (paid in full, partially paid).</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;

<span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">While we are all sitting at home, we can ponder the pros and cons of the tie. We are just wearing it for business video links with a shirt and over the hidden pajamas. And shirt and tie are kept on exactly for as long as the video call lasts. But is a tie really necessary? </span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Q0WRvRrn5K8/X715hMb0wKI/AAAAAAABZhQ/aluqxpWi3pQBVuNvwszm-ERXJNBTFAhLgCLcBGAsYHQ/s600/very-young-teen-boy-zac-efron-tie-shirt-jacket-portrait-actor-press-photo-presentation.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="493" height="200" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Q0WRvRrn5K8/X715hMb0wKI/AAAAAAABZhQ/aluqxpWi3pQBVuNvwszm-ERXJNBTFAhLgCLcBGAsYHQ/w164-h200/very-young-teen-boy-zac-efron-tie-shirt-jacket-portrait-actor-press-photo-presentation.jpg" width="164" /></a><span><a name='more'></a></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>Once upon a time, a racing driver called Lewis Hamilton had been turned away from the Royal Box at Wimbledon for not wearing jacket and tie. It would most probably happen to him again after becoming Sir Lewis Hamilton. Don't we all like the decorum of Wimbledon in contrast with the loud Australian Open, the very French Roland Garros, and the racy US Open? <br /><br />A tie in certain circumstances still makes sense to us when we want to express a certain decorum and show our appreciation to the host. Weddings, christenings, and funerals come to mind there first. Some may think that the slice of cloth around a man's neck is an outdated nod to formality. Some find them perfectly normal in everyday life, because they are made to wear them at their place of work. </span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">This has split the tie wearing world into two distinctive camps. One group is adamant about wearing tie for proper attire, the other forbids wearing them outright.</span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">If you want to gain admittance to these following venues, you better have your tie properly tied around your neck and your shirt tucked in: <br /><br />Taking your tea at the Ritz in London at exorbitant prices means you'll need to wear a tie. In return, you are allowed to scoff scones surrounded by minor aristocrats from out of town and bemused Russian and Chinese tourists.<br /><br />Formal dinners on a P&O Cruise ship make a tie mandatory. A lounge suit and tie is the bare minimum, more is expected. Stylish dinner jackets, tuxedos and black tie all bring a real sense of occasion to a formal evening affair. <br /><br />The Old School Tie might no longer be your automatic entry into the higher echelons of British society, but with the right one you'll always end up in 10 Downing Street. <br /><br />The House of Commons Press Gallery is one of the places where you can't get by with just a press pass. 'The dress code for members of the Press Gallery is intended to demonstrate respect for the House. Male members of the Press Gallery are required to wear a jacket and tie in the Reporters Gallery.'<br /><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">The Marylebone Cricket Club is as Old School as it can get. The MCC in its role as the guardian of British cricket, insists that men visiting the pavilion at Lord's on match days wear a tie or cravat. They reluctantly make exceptions for gentlemen in national dress or service uniform.<br /><br />On the turn side of the coin, the following venues will not let you pass their threshold while you are wearing a tie:<br /><br />If you work for Sir Richard Branson and want to avoid an unpleasant surprise. 'I often have a pair of scissors in my top pocket to go cutting people's ties off,' he once wrote. 'I'm sure ties only exist because bosses, after being forced to wear them all their life, are determined to inflict the same fate on the next generation.<br /><br />Doctors, male nurses, male porters, and any other males on the frontline of a hospital should never wear one for work. Pieces of cloth dangling about and rubbing across sick people's skin are a recipe for infection. As the NHS guidelines say: "Ties are rarely laundered but worn daily. They perform no beneficial function in patient care and have been shown to be colonized by pathogens."<br /><br />Police officers, security guards, marshals, and stewards should never wear real ties for fear of being choked to death by assailant and so called fans. They all look like they're wearing ties, but they aren't. What you see are clip-ons. An actual tie would be a safety hazard, especially in a confrontation with a criminal and his first cousin the football fan. <br /><br />Soho House is a chain of trendy private members clubs has an anti-dress code. It's all about showing they are nothing like the fusty old gentlemen's clubs of Mayfair. All that links them together is exclusivity and prices to make your eyes water for first a membership and then a glass of water.<br /><br />All factory lines involving any type of machinery like presses or rollers where people could be trapped. But the safety guidance usually just refers to 'loose clothing'. It's taken as read that ties are a no-no. Quite frankly, who would want to wear one.</span><div class="container--primary-and-secondary-columns column-clearfix">

<div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">When I mention Lohengrin, I get three possible reactions: the opera, the chocolate bar, the wedding march. Lohengrin is the Wagner opera where you need a guide and a map to try and make sense of it. Richard Wagner concocted the libretto from poems, Greek mythology, and fake history. The end product has nothing the viewer recognizes as any story they ever heard. At the opera, they then spend hours in limbo or are busy rifling through the program they bought.</span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2EktUBILyjs/X71Ycb9BQlI/AAAAAAABZgE/FVxbPV2D2asmh6FeUAMJIShcGOV7gxhtACLcBGAsYHQ/s641/mouth-watering-hotness-lohengrin-swan-knight-naked-standing-guard-sweat-naked-chest-bulging-muscles-hunk-helmet.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="641" data-original-width="423" height="200" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2EktUBILyjs/X71Ycb9BQlI/AAAAAAABZgE/FVxbPV2D2asmh6FeUAMJIShcGOV7gxhtACLcBGAsYHQ/w132-h200/mouth-watering-hotness-lohengrin-swan-knight-naked-standing-guard-sweat-naked-chest-bulging-muscles-hunk-helmet.jpg" width="132" /></a></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span><a name='more'></a></span><span><br /></span></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><b>
Lohengrin:
The Opera</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: verdana;">Richard
Wagner got his idea for parts of the opera and its hero Lohengrin from the epic poem </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">Percival</span><span style="font-family: verdana;"> </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">by
Wolfram von Eschenbach. It was written before 1220 AD. He then stole the confrontation of
the queens from The Song of the Nibelungs which was written down around 1200 AD but had been orally told since about 600 AD. He then added parts of the story of Zeus and Semele from
Greek mythology. Out of this hodgepodge he managed to compose the total of the storyline. As a setting, he chose
the Duchy of Brabant during a visit of King Henry the Fowler around 900 AD; the 'history' behind that visit is entirely fictional but somehow influenced German history
writing into the 20th century.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Richard
Wagner conceived the idea for Lohengrin in Paris in 1842; it took him until
1848 to finish libretto and musical score. The opera was first shown in 1850 in
Weimar under the direction of Franz Liszt. Formally, Lohengrin is Richard
Wagner's first true opera without a clearly distinguishable series of
individual musical numbers. He thereby moved away from the traditional
sectional works split into arias, recitative, and choral parts as done by
Mozart, for example. While this holistic approach welded the work into a single
musical entity, it also made later edits more difficult.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">In the end, everything
about Lohengrin was pure fiction. The title hero Lohengrin was the son of
Percival as King of the Grail Castle and a minor character in Wolfram von
Eschenbach's mythical epos Percival. The historical context chosen by Richard
Wagner as the setting for the opera was fictional as well. The Duchy of Brabant
was part of the kingdom of the Western Franks; King Henry the Fowler led the
Eastern Franks, Brabant therefore was way outside his sphere of influence. This
fictitious visit did influence German historical perception into the late 20th century,
though.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: verdana;">The hero
Lohengrin is young, beautiful, pure, impetuous, virtuous, and sent by God. I</span><span style="font-family: verdana;">n the libretto</span><span style="font-family: verdana;"> the
positive descriptions of the protagonist keep on piling up. It was
little wonder that King Ludwig II of Bavaria got completely hooked. In
Lohengrin, he had found the ideal hero. This enthusiasm contributed significantly
to the fact that King Ludwig summoned composer Richard Wagner to Munich where he became his lifelong patron. </span></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">The
famous introduction to the opera exudes bright warmth. Only at the very
end of the opera listener learn where this heavenly, spiritual warmth is coming
from: Lohengrin is a knight of the Holy Grail, a being of shining light. He
heard the cry for help in Elsa's prayers and left the Castle of the Grail to
protect her. Once in Brabant, he develops worldly feelings for her in the process.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Elsa falls
in love with him, too. She had dreams of him even before his arrival. The
motif of Lohengrin first appears in 'Elsa's Dream'. The motif is
intended to characterize the protagonist. The bantering, staccato closing
phrase is youthful, fresh and proud. Richard Wagner used the term 'animato' for it. The descending syncope shows the enthusiastic
and fiery streak in the young man.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: verdana;">This fiery young knight arrives by swan boat in Brabant to save the innocent Elsa from the evil Ortrud. Ortrud
accuses Elsa of having killed her brother Gottfried (while Ortrud in fact had turned
him into a swan by magic). Lohengrin as part of a secret society has his secrets to keep. He forbids Elsa to ask him his name or where he came from. Ortrud with her pagan
witchcraft keeps nagging at Elsa until she asks the question anyhow. Lohengrin
boards the next swan leaving for Grail Castle while the female cast dies on
stage</span><span style="font-family: verdana;">.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Richard
Wagner made use of the tension between the old pagan beliefs and the progressive
Christian conversion which had lasted well into the 13th century. It allowed him to show the dilemma
between light and glory in heaven and the vale of tears of human existence on earth. He demonstrated the difference between the gains of true faith and the
price of losing it; all the while earthly love becomes a mere bystander.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Wagner was unable to attend the premier of Lohengrin in Weimar in 1850. He was
at the time a wanted terrorist of the German revolution and was in exile in
Switzerland. He was very cozy there, living with </span>a rich patron and his adoring wife.</span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">The
opera Lohengrin was sung in Italian when first shown in London, Dublin, New
York, and New Orleans. Richard Wagner called it his most Italian of operas; the
Wagner clan later tried to exclude it from being shown in Bayreuth at all.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Slezak (1873 – 1946) was one of the leading tenors of his day and often sang
Lohengrin in leading opera houses. When a technician started moving the swan boat out of reach for him before he had time to get into the boat, he asked the
audience: 'Does anyone know when the next swan is due?'<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Am I
stating the obvious? I don’t think so, and maybe you’ll follow my reasoning.
Far from paying twice for the same thing, sometimes we end up paying for the
same thing many times over. Going through an example might help you make up
your own mind.</span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8C0_r77QCmY/X700e_1TkSI/AAAAAAABZek/O9oFZ9D0ewsRpCmmftfTnj_ghhPeBEjlACLcBGAsYHQ/s909/gay-worker-muscle-teen-shirtless-gay-boy-young-twink-hunk-ripped-jeans-bulge-see-through-crotch-topless-money-bag.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="909" data-original-width="719" height="200" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8C0_r77QCmY/X700e_1TkSI/AAAAAAABZek/O9oFZ9D0ewsRpCmmftfTnj_ghhPeBEjlACLcBGAsYHQ/w158-h200/gay-worker-muscle-teen-shirtless-gay-boy-young-twink-hunk-ripped-jeans-bulge-see-through-crotch-topless-money-bag.jpg" width="158" /></a></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span></span><span><a name='more'></a></span></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Do you
like to watch football (soccer)? If yes, you certainly will go to the stadium
to watch your home team. To get into the stadium, you pay an entry fee,
naturally enough. But you could have watched it also on television, and with
your television licensing fee you already paid once to watch it. You can’t
watch every match on free TV? That’s only natural, as pay TV usually pays more money for
the rights to show the matches; as a real enthusiast you are sure to have the additional pay TV to watch everything
going on in the football world. Which adds up to you paying for the same match for the third time, then.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">In the
stadium, look around you. Look at all the advertisement placed around the
playing field and elsewhere in the stadium. Your brewery, your bank, your
insurance company, your fast food joint, and you name it, they are all represented there. The advertisement in the stadium pays for the squad and the match you are watching.</span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">This advertising in the stadium is paid for by
your beer, your mortgage, your house insurance, your eating out, and whatever else. You have already paid for
watching this match several times over by what you consume or use before you ever decided to come to the stadium. The same goes for the
players' t-shirts, shorts, socks, and shoes. With your car, your trainers, and
what not, you paid for watching this same game again and again. And that is only on the field; we haven't even talked about the free shuttle service and the players cars all paid with your car.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">By using your credit card to pay for the tickets, the pies, fries, drinks, and mementos in the stadium, you have paid once
more for watching the game. And should you have decided to watch at home after all, in between the first and second half advertisement will be placed on
your screen. While you get your next beer and your crisps that are paying for the adverts, you already are
paying for watching this match once again.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">My
grandmother was no fan of football matches and therefore tried to contribute as
little as she could to paying for them. She summed it up in the saying: If they
need to advertise for a product, something must be wrong with it. Meaning, if you see it on TV or hear it on the radio, avoid buying it.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span lang="EN-GB">My
mother on the other hand held to the belief that half the price paid for any
product needing advertisement was to pay for the publicity in form of adverts,
a host of overpaid public relations employees, so called product ambassadors, self appointed influencers and a token </span><span lang="DE-CH"><span lang="EN-GB">charity</span></span><span lang="EN-GB">. If you could get a product that was good enough not to need to advertise, you would get that much more quantity in a higher quality for the same price.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span lang="EN-GB"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span lang="EN-GB">This
belief of my mother is borne out by razor blades which cost five pence in
production but sell for several pounds in the shops. There is certainly ample
scope to pay for the likes of </span><span lang="DE-CH"><span lang="EN-GB">Thierry Henry</span></span><span lang="EN-GB">, </span><span lang="DE-CH"><span lang="EN-GB">Tiger Woods</span></span><span lang="EN-GB">, and </span><span lang="DE-CH"><span lang="EN-GB"><a href="http://stutenzeecandyblog.blogspot.com/2012/01/bernard-tomic-in-roger-federer-jubilee.html" target="_blank">Roger Federer</a></span></span><span lang="EN-GB"> to promote a product no better than
any other.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br />
</span><div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span>Paying
twice? We tend to pay several times over for just about everything. And if you
are one of the people who can’t afford to give money to charities, don't feel
bad about it, you donate hundreds of pounds every year to many charities in
publicity stunts by the likes of Bill Gates, Tesco, or Walmart just with buying the products you
need for daily life. There is absolutely no need to give more.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: verdana;

<div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">The
results from a study into the workings of placebo products and the placebo effect show
that a harmless substitute 'medication' works. The compound being made up of sugar or flour works just as well as the real thing
containing pharmaceutically active components. Conclusions may be drawn with
wide-ranging consequences.</span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh078WZ1dQDH_C3rF6Ue10E9XgikvwJ7SC8omD5pHRH7fW0_UNOHa083Nk1gzDm2MJe7-e9iJu_I0kauErcAH6uV-05FvPYiqhoLRO8NonjzZsx6xeQeUTI3-Jz3qBsq_ZF7VzjHS6YG_8P/s1134/beautiful-very-young-teenage-male-model-eating-fruit-nude-torso-smooth-skin-kissing-lips.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="642" data-original-width="1134" height="113" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh078WZ1dQDH_C3rF6Ue10E9XgikvwJ7SC8omD5pHRH7fW0_UNOHa083Nk1gzDm2MJe7-e9iJu_I0kauErcAH6uV-05FvPYiqhoLRO8NonjzZsx6xeQeUTI3-Jz3qBsq_ZF7VzjHS6YG_8P/w200-h113/beautiful-very-young-teenage-male-model-eating-fruit-nude-torso-smooth-skin-kissing-lips.jpg" width="200" /></a></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><a name='more'></a></span></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">The
traditional way to do a medical study is to split sufferers of a specific
illness into two groups. One group receives the real medication with active pharmaceutical compounds. The
other group receives a harmless tablet looking for the entire world the same
as the original medication in the test, but it is made of sugar or flour. In these tests, even the doctors handing out
the medication don’t know if they are handing out the medication or the
replacement called placebo. At least, that’s what the pharmaceutical industry
wants us to believe.</span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span lang="EN-GB">In a
twist on this traditional way of doing research, Harvard University Medical School just published
the result of a study on the</span> workings of placebo. Even the preliminary set-up of the
study sounded weird. Patients suffering from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) were
split into two study groups; one group received harmless pills, the other
nothing at all. To make everything quite clear, patients receiving the placebo
pills were informed that the pills were just sugar and would therefore not
work. Patients were asked to take the tablets even if they did not believe in
the placebo effect.</span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span lang="EN-GB">While
the doctors handing out the pills might have felt slightly foolish, the result
of the study was a surprise. The belief of the medical community to date was
that placebo products work because people believe it to be a genuine medical
compound with active ingredients. But</span> in this study, 60 percent of patients taking the placebo
pills reported back feeling better and showing less symptoms.
This rate of improvement was equivalent to the most effective of IBS drugs. Even more
astonishingly, 35 percent of patients receiving no medication at all reported a reduction of their symptoms.</span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Based on these results, researchers
involved in the study suggest that the mere ritual of
going to see the doctor and submitting to a treatment was sufficient to improve
their health. This is what a visit with the shamans did several thousand
years back; their treatments were not scientific, but probably worked as well
as most modern pharmaceutical compounds. Prove to the opposite have just become
that much harder to show.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">The
placebo effect is often cited as the reason why alternative medical treatments
like Homoeopathy, Ayurveda, Bach flowers, Anthroposophic Medicine, and others
that could be named work as well as school medicine. There is absolutely no proof that they don't work on their own merits. This excuse is usually the last resort of the
pharmaceutical companies to explain their stranglehold on the health sector.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span lang="EN-GB">The
researchers of Harvard University Medical School have wisely (and with an eye on 'donations' coming from the pharmaceutical industry) refrained from
pointing to the other problem they have put into the spotlight: The
traditional set-up of a clinical study on a pharmaceutical product is done
under the presumption that any placebo effect in it is near zero. If you adjust this to 60 percent and </span>deduct it from all studies published over the years, none of these studies will
be conclusive proof of working medication anymore.</span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">If you
expect more results to come from this special study, you will be disappointed.
This study was a fluke; it probably slipped under the radar of the supervisors
from the pharmaceutical industry in Harvard. As cash strapped universities are
meanwhile completely dependent on the 'generosity' of the pharmaceutical
companies to pay for their teaching staff and their research, the mere mention of
withdrawal of funds will stop any further research dead in its tracks.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">The last
thing the pharmaceutical industry needs is proof that their products are
equally effective as the laying on of hands by the local pastor. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Who hasn't heard or said it? But his post is not about the famous woodchuck. This is the story of Chuck Forest who inherited a forest and grew rich on wood. How he did it? Read on. It is the real American dream come true.<br /><br /></span></p><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-v-iRkYMl6dw/X7rcvY4mvCI/AAAAAAABYxc/pEJ_ZO4WYgwXfW5F3nytgWpE03RR_f3mgCLcBGAsYHQ/s671/gay-tarzan-gymnast-outdoor-wood-sexy-shaved-hairless-teen-hunk-boy-pits-hanging-tree-sixpack-bare-foot-lycra-blond-lad.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="671" data-original-width="510" height="200" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-v-iRkYMl6dw/X7rcvY4mvCI/AAAAAAABYxc/pEJ_ZO4WYgwXfW5F3nytgWpE03RR_f3mgCLcBGAsYHQ/w152-h200/gay-tarzan-gymnast-outdoor-wood-sexy-shaved-hairless-teen-hunk-boy-pits-hanging-tree-sixpack-bare-foot-lycra-blond-lad.JPG" width="152" /></a></span></div><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span></span></span></p><a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Chuck Forest was a lucky man; he inherited a forest from his uncle Farmer Forest. He looked at it and thought that he could earn money from it. He decided to fell trees and sell them to interested parties. But he wouldn't do the hard work himself. He went and hired people to hew, cut, clear, and log the wood to the nearest river to raft it to the market. The wages were minimal; it made Chuck rich; the workers are known as the working poor. Put together, his employees still paid more taxes than Chuck did.</span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Chuck went to the market and saw that he could earn more if the wood had been cut into planks and dried to use for building houses. He decided to build a sawmill and get the refined product to market. He set his workers to do the building as well, saving a lot of money by not getting in any builders. But because they were poor, they knew everything about keeping a roof over their heads without money and the sawmill soon started working. Chuck got richer and the workers still earned almost nothing.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Then the state got concerned that the wood trade was killing off all the forests. They decided to limit the amount of wood that could come out of any forest. To make this fair, the state decided to pay a one of payment to the forest owners. This payment was paid from taxpayers' money. The limitation meant that Chuck fired half his workforce. Chuck got richer and his employees got poorer and still paid more taxes taken all together.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">The state also decided to start a program for reforestation. Anybody who started planting trees could apply for a grant to offset part of their cost. With the rest of his workforce, Chuck continued felling the trees to fill his quota and planted trees. He got the government grant for the planting. The grant was paid from taxpayers' money, mainly Chuck's employees. Chuck got richer, his employees got poorer and still paid collectively more taxes than Chuck.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">And the international community got concerned as well and the UNO or one of its subsidiaries created a label for sustainable forestry. And that label was paid for by the UNO; the UNO is paid for by the taxpayers of the member states. And the label paid a certain amount to forest owners who adhered to the label's principle and they were allowed to put the label on their products. And with that label, Chuck could raise the prices. And Chuck got richer and his employees still paid more taxes than he did.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Meanwhile Shantytown, the home of Chuck's employees, was growing and had reached the sawmill. The sawmill was outdated and needed replacement. Chuck decided to build a new one somewhere else on his lands and build housing and a supermarket where the old one was. But the mill had used certain chemicals and the ground was now toxic and not permitted for housing or supermarket. Chuck applied to the government to get a grant to remove the toxic ground and make it habitable. He got the grant, which was paid out of taxpayers' money.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Chuck built the housing estate, renting it out to his employees, and the supermarket, renting it out as well. Chuck got richer, his employees poorer. And because his housing estate housed poor people, Chuck received a yearly government grant to cover the difference between the rents paid and the statistical rent calculated by the government. And the grant was paid out of taxpayers' money. And Chuck got richer and still his employees all put together paid more taxes than he did.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">And then the wood trade collapsed and all the forest owners and their sawmills were on the edge of bankruptcy. And because Chuck was such an important employer of many people, his company was bailed out with taxpayers money. And Chuck could keep all his money and his employees could pay all the taxes.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">And because the company was at this moment virtually worthless thanks to taxpayers' bailout, Chuck gave it as a gift to his son Chuck Jr.; and because the value of the shares was set at zero, they paid no gift tax. And when Chuck finally died a rich man, they paid no inheritance tax on the very profitable company.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Is this the full and true story? Not really. I left out the part where Chuck got a ten years tax exemption for settling his company where he did; not that he could have packed up the forest and gone somewhere else. I didn't talk about the farm for which Chuck got yearly payments from the government not to plant anything. I didn't say that the supermarket company belonged to his wife who hired most of her employees on zero hours contracts to make sure not to pay one minute more than she had to. Just remember, woodchucks and Chucks are everywhere. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Further reading<br /><a href="http://stutenzeehistoryblog.blogspot.com/2013/03/how-money-came-to-dominate-our-lives.html" target="_blank">How Money Came to Dominate Our Lives</a><br /><a href="https://stutenzeebooks.blogspot.com/2013/10/prophet-of-banking-crisis.html" target="_blank">Prophet of the Banking Crisis</a><br /><a href="https://stutenzeebooks.blogspot.com/2013/08/whereas-guy-fawkes-failed-to-blow-up.html" target="_blank">Government Fraud and Cover Up</a> </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

<span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">BBC has broadcast the first of five parts of London Spy. During build-up to this first episode, all kinds of allegations were thrown about by all kinds of people, mainly because the main characters are all gay, I suppose. Now the real thing is out and open to all to assess, I hope we can get back to what really counts. I for my part was entertained and impressed. The latter is mainly due to the work of director Jakob Verbruggen.</span><br />

</span><a name='more'></a>
<span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">BBC hasn't spared expenses for the mini-series of London Spy. Penned by Tom Rob Smith (author of award winning Child 44), the cast is on the star studded side with namely Ben Wishaw and Edward Holcroft in leading roles. And while director Jakob Verbruggen doesn't ring any bells with me, his way of showing the story in this first part seems well suited to Smith's writing style.</span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">Verbruggen dispensed with any cheap voyeurism into a gay joint, instead showed Ben Wishaw going in and coming out. These few seconds told all you needed to know about how the party had been going. Most of the rest of the episode is in keeping with this style. There is one exception; a steamy sex scene which is entirely unnecessary for the understanding of the story and accordingly has been cut by the director in a way that it can be cut out without loosing anything important at all.</span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">Ben Wishaw as Danny (and not the spy from the title) makes the best of a vulnerable young man gone adrift in the big city. He meets uptight and closeted Alex (who says his name is Alex, but Scotty says it's Alister) played by Edward Holcroft who might or might not be the spy from the title. Boy from South of the Thames working in a DYI store meets guy working North of the Thames in one of the largest spy centers of the world and earning accordingly.</span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">The clash of North and South London is subtly shown over a breakfast table thanks to the author. But to show up the huge difference in world view by the two men takes up a lot of time, and justifiably so. It might also make you think about your own expectations in life when you watch it.</span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">Without spoiling it, at the end of the episode you are left with the feeling that just about anyone with a speaking part in the drama had been lying with the exception of Danny who hasn't got a clue what is going on. It makes you look forward to the next episode just for that, quite apart from Ben Wishaw and Edward Holcroft.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span face="Verdana, sans-serif">You forgot to go shopping for a Halloween costume or had decided not to go to the party and now changed your mind? There are lots of ways you can rustle up a cheap Halloween costume with what you find at home. You'll look sexy in any of the costume designs I have found for you. Just take a look at the pictures and take it from there.</span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bc3pBUPZ7x0/X7QaX93jUZI/AAAAAAABXS4/voI6wbk8CBAWh3fayMoTqMvNIDFxhYUTwCLcBGAsYHQ/s568/young-tanned-prince-open-jacket-shirtless-pecs-abs-sixpack-gay-ahtlete-twink-boy-naked-chest.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="568" data-original-width="450" height="200" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bc3pBUPZ7x0/X7QaX93jUZI/AAAAAAABXS4/voI6wbk8CBAWh3fayMoTqMvNIDFxhYUTwCLcBGAsYHQ/w159-h200/young-tanned-prince-open-jacket-shirtless-pecs-abs-sixpack-gay-ahtlete-twink-boy-naked-chest.jpg" width="159" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></span><a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span face="Verdana, sans-serif">All you need for a good Halloween costume for the party 2015 is your body and some imagination. You can whip out your old school tie; no need to wear much else, it's horrible enough on its own. Or you can draw the design with make-up directly on your skin.</span><br />
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif">The best recycling costume is the fashion victim; use everything you bought this year and never wore. As it was not what you wanted, you can rip and shred it in any which way you want.</span><br />
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif">Or you can go and dig something up from the shed; some old netting would make you the Fisher King, and an old hat with nothing much else leaves you to interpret your disguise as you go along.</span><br />
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif">And then there is the trunk with old charade costumes that might spew out a loo mask or a tutu. Go for it, you can make them all look sexy!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><br />The stadium was built on purpose as a counterpoint to Nazi structures. No monumental structure dominating a landscape was built, but a building nestling into the landscape. The colors of the Olympic Stadium were chosen with care.

<span face="Verdana, sans-serif">This seemingly weightless mesh of steel is resting on deeply set pylons to take the enormous weight. During construction, the whole roof structure was supported by cranes to allow the building of it piece by piece. When all pieces were fit, all people involved in design, planning and construction assembled on the far spectator stand to watch the cranes being removed.</span><br /><br />

<span face="Verdana, sans-serif">As such a construction of this magnitude had never been assembled before, the outcome was clearly calculated, but untried in the real world. When the canes let loose, the whole roof started swinging until it finally settled into its state of equilibrium. We imagine a cheer going up when the whole thing didn't collapse.</span><br /><br />

<span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><br />As a comment on the side: The Munich Olympic Stadium was built in 1972. The one in London was built in 2012. The roof of the London stadium is so leaky after three years that about a quarter of the staircases can't be used when it rains. The Munich roof is still watertight. I refrain from stating the obvious.</span><br /><br />
