Well,
that was a complete let down yesterday.
I guess nobody thinks I am funny?
Two of those jokes were original
and the one where I say,
"If I ever find my soulmate, my wife would kill her?"
Today I like to think,
"If I ever found my soulmate, it will be my wife!"
Am I the only one who thinks the
should be cancelled?
"What You Should Know About Zika Virus When Traveling This Summer."by Kim Silva for PopHerald
"Brazil and other Latin American countries have seen a serious uptick in birth defects amid their Zika outbreaks, and scientists fear that Aedes mosquitoes will start to spread the virus on the USA mainland, once temperatures rise and insect populations flourish. Because they are funded by local taxpayer dollars, USA mosquito control programs reflect deep economic disparities between communities, leaving some at-risk locations badly unprepared for the virus that is spreading through the Americas. It dedicates US$4.5 million a year to controlling disease carriers, or vectors, such as mosquitoes, ticks and rodents. Experts recommend you clear standing water outside your home and take precautions against mosquitoes when outdoors. But a spate of birth defects has been recently linked to the rash of cases in Brazil and other parts of the Americas - particularly microcephaly, a condition in which a baby is born with an abnormally small head and underdeveloped brain. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Friday said it was watching or had been watching 279 pregnant women infected with Zika. The virus, which is spread by tropical mosquitoes such as Aedes aegypti, is typically thought to run its course in a week or so and generally causes fairly mild symptoms, experts said. People go over there and they come back to the United States with carrying the virus. All but six states so far have seen travel-associated cases of Zika."
I guess starting a
Global Epidemic
among sports fans is OK.
The United States always has to be the biggest and the best.
Look how much it costs if you go smaller.
"India's budget mini space shuttle blasts off." by AFP on MSN Technology
"India successfully launched its first mini space shuttle on Monday as New Delhi's famously frugal space agency joined the global race to make rockets as reusable as airplanes. The shuttle was reportedly developed on a budget of just one billion rupees ($14 million), a fraction of the billions of dollars spent by other nations' space programs. The Reusable Launch Vehicle, or RLV-TD, which is around the size of a minibus, hurtled into a blue sky over southeast India after its 7:00am (0130 GMT) lift off. After reaching an altitude of about 70 kilometers (43 miles), it glided back down to Earth, splashing into the Bay of Bengal 10 minutes later. ISRO made global headlines in 2013 after it successfully launched an unmanned mission to orbit Mars, spending just $73 million."
In
The United States
we have to debate if helping the unfortunate is cost effective
or if letting people die outright,
like some Republicans would like do it,
is what this country is all about.
How about trying something new.
"This expensive country is debating giving away money."
by Catherine Bosley for MSN Markets taken from an article on Bloomberg
"The Swiss are discussing paying people $2,500 a month for doing nothing. The country will vote June 5 on whether the government should introduce an unconditional basic income to replace various welfare benefits. Although the initiators of the plan haven't stipulated how large the payout should be, they're suggested the sum of 2,500 francs for an adult and a quarter of that for a child."
If we gave a set amount of money to the poor in this country,
we would be able to get rid of all that bureaucracy that cost billions of dollars a year to maintain!
This is,
Jim Hauenstein,
And,
That is my story and I am sticking to it!
