Thoughts for today, #422 …. “Gaming system …. gaming welfare …. Not the Same …. “!!

TWO VERY DIFFERENT THINGS

Plenty of times I’ve heard … ‘those people on welfare are taking advantage of the system’.

They shouldn’t be on it. I’m paying for it with the  taxes I pay.

Some have applauded Trump’s taking advantage, for his personal benefit, of the current tax code.

That’s what makes him smart.

That’s what makes him a genius!

That’s what makes him a great businessman.

Yet, remember, we also paid for his gaming the system with the taxes we pay.

Hence, no complaining about the welfare use if Trump’s ‘gaming of the system’ is OK with some.

These two options ARE NOT inclusive.

It’s comparing  ‘apples to oranges’.

The idiom, comparing apples and oranges, refers to the apparent differences between items which are popularly thought to be incomparable or incommensurable, such as apples and oranges.

~Gaming the System~

Gaming the system (also referred to as gaming the rules, bending the rules, abusing the system, cheating the system, milking the system, playing the system, or working the system) can be defined as using the rules and procedures meant to protect a system in order, instead, to manipulate the system for a desired outcome …

~Social Welfare System Definition~

A social welfare system provides assistance to needy individuals and families.

The types and amount of welfare available to individuals and families vary depending on the country, state or region.

ARNOLD PALMER 

‘The King’ of golf dies at 87

Arnold Palmer, who died Sunday, September 25, in Pittsburgh at age 87, was the accessible common man who would become the King and lead his own army. Along the way he became one of the sport’s best players and a successful businessman, philanthropist, trailblazing advertising spokesman, talented golf course designer and experienced aviator.

“We are deeply saddened by the death of Arnold Palmer, golf’s greatest ambassador, at age 87,” the U.S. Golf Association said in a statement.  “Arnold Palmer will always be a champion, in every sense of the word. He inspired generations to love golf by sharing his competitive spirit, displaying sportsmanship, caring for golfers and golf fans, and serving as a lifelong ambassador for the sport.

Our stories of him not only fill the pages of golf’s history books and the walls of the museum, but also our own personal golf memories.

The game is indeed better because of him, and in so many ways, will never be the same.”

Alastair Johnson, CEO of Arnold Palmer Enterprises, confirmed that Palmer died Sunday afternoon of complications from heart problems. Johnson said Palmer was admitted to the hospital Thursday for some cardiovascular work and weakened over the last few days.

THE EMPEROR HAS NO CLOTHES

WARNING

I must say that I’m sorry you have to wake up to this, if you haven’t seen it already.

It’s always been said that if one is ready to dish it out, one has to be ready to take it.

Or, if you can’t take the heat, get out of the kitchen.

Some time yesterday afternoon, I received continued “beeps” on my cell.

Nude statues of the “donald” were popping up everywhere.

I kept following the story and found out what happened.

It’s included below.

There’s no intention to offend.

Naked Donald Trump Statues Populate American Cities

Nate Hopper

An anarchist collective distributed the life-size likenesses in very public locations
In New York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle and Cleveland, life-size statues of Donald Trump in the nude stand in public. They were placed there by the anarchist collective Indecline, which among other projects has also glued the names of black men killed by police officers onto blank stars in the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

The Trump project is titled after a genital omission each statue shares, “The Emperor Has No Balls.” It’s an escalation of Hans Christian Andersen’s 1837 parable about a ruler so overconfident that he believes he’s wearing the world’s finest clothes, even when parading in the nude through his realm, beneath “his splendid canopy” — until a child breaks his delusion.

The artist who constructed the statues goes by the name Ginger and is a regular keynote speaker at haunted house conventions.

He told the Washington Post,

“When the Indecline organization approached me, it was all because of my monster-making abilities.”

According to the Post, he spent 25 hours weekly since receiving the commission in April, and worked through 300 pounds of clay and silicone, to construct the statues.
