Today is the 'official' Patriot's day for Massachusetts.
we have had over 120 years or more of what is known as the
'Boston Marathon'. It went from being a quant distraction on a happy day off for most people, a school day off, a bout an hour an a half of distraction to being a day that was taken over by the pepole who run the charity, a giant traffic hassle, and basically it became a day to 'get out of town'.
But it was worth watching it occasionally. It's just when it's one of the earliest things you remember happening as a child, and it turns into something ridiculous and exploitative, it's hard to deal with it at times.
But this year it's gone, no Marathon.
I bet all the State Hacks still get the day off, will still get full pay.
you know 'bailing out' municipalities is a bad idea. Most of the money is looted into pensions bloat and bond bloat.
they'd need to do an audit of all the funds that they want to make whole to see where that money really goes.
If the Feds could buy all the muni bonds from the SES and others who buy it, to profiteer off of the fuedal fifes of 'towns and cities', then maybe that's a good idea. But if this bail out would be pouring money into the 'new school made of gold' rat hole . . . we must make the beast larger and stronger.
we make these town debt slaves. The locals are like 'this is rediculous, why do they need a 100 million dollar building when it's better to not have the bullys and groomer to access the non-cabal kids. Cause we do have that type here in this town too.
Municipal and local governments are in dire need of reformation, and 'bailing them out' only enables the looters who get 'bond issues' and build unneeded infrastructure that they can't afford, for people who don't even live in the town yet, and that really goes to the coffers of their pension funds through them buying the highrate bonds from themselves.
It's a bad idea. They are heedless enough. Enough it claws back all those bond issues that are owned by SES types, and their cabal-ilk.
