A Brain On Socialized Medicine

In the U.K. Caffé Nero paid £0 in taxes. This peeved one of the caffé's patrons. He was a "loyal" customer and turned in his "loyalty" customer card over this. He explains why blathering it on twitter all proud and smug.



If you agree with him hang on and read on because you are wrong. If you disagree with him and don't know why, I think I can tell you why.

Steve Pottinger (he advertised himself and made his persons a public object on twitter) is a valued loyalty customer of Caffé Nero. However, he is throwing his loyalty card back into the fire. His dad was in the hospital and his fate is unknown per the rant. All we know is Steve thought his dad could get more care if Caffé Nero paid taxes. The doctors and nurses could have received pay if Caffé Nero paid taxes. And well, all sorts of other people could have gotten money.

Steve, really!?

You are blaming Caffé Nero for following the rules the government setup. You are blaming Caffé Nero for how the government distributes money. You are blaming Caffé Nero for giving you the most cost effective/quality product that you so thoroughly enjoyed over and over you yourself became a valued loyal customer to them.

So in no way do we see Steve taking the government to task for their tax code or distribution of wealth. He does no chastise the government on what doctors or nurses get paid. He does not blame the government at all. He blames a company for not giving enough money as a reason to problems.

Steve turned in his card and will get his java elsewhere. Will he get the same quality for the same price?

Whether or not he does is only subjective to his palette.

However, let us tear into his final thoughts.

We're all in this together, and without a vibrant and cohesive society - which tax revenues help maintain - you've nowhere to sell your goods.

This sentence is very true but insanely stated by Steve. The cohesive society maintained by taxes is the protection of property, not the usurpation! Steve wants you to think that the taxes are meant to give to the people, not protect what people have earned and own.

Somehow Steve also thinks that the caffé expects customers to show loyalty. Really, the caffé uses gimmicks to get repeat customers to come back, not expecting loyalty. Any business knows they are as good as their last customer served.

So go on Steve. Go find that socially conscious caffé. That extra dollar you pay, it's you paying for what Nero didn't. Your new caffé just passed the cost onto you.

Hats Off to the Obamacare Website Programmers

You may think I am about to tear into the programmers for the Obamacare websites or make fun of them. You may think this post will be some tongue-in-cheek sarcasm. But it is not.

Everyone wonders how after three years that the website launch for signing up for Obamacare could fail. It is simple. The programmers did not have three years. In fact, how long did they have?

Just this summer I remember the talk shows having discussions about states in which it was not still decided if they would open up a health care exchange or the federal government would. This summer that happened. No one was sure whom would be responsible.

This means not a single line of code could have been written yet. Only two or three months maybe for some sites to program and get ready for October first and millions of users. Unless you are a programmer you might not know what an insane request that is.

In these past three years Obamacare has been coming into shape and facing legal challenges. Obama himself has delayed parts of the legislation in a manner that is unconstitutional. How the whole system works has been free form regardless of the law. No one knows what it will look like in the end.

It is still changing.

So I cannot stand by and let people make fun of the programmers. They are at the mercy of the blowing winds of regulations. It is like herding cats. How can the programmers make a finished product for a system with changing rules?

You can not stress test a system if it is not finished. Obamacare is under an ever changing set of rules. We still don't know what it will all come down to.

How do you program that?

Herding cats, man. Herding cats.

You don't want to program that.

Hypocrite's Address

Obama is just so unbelievable. Towards the end of today's statement that he made he said something just absolutely ridiculous.
That’s who we’re here to serve. That’s why we’re supposed to be carrying out these responsibilities. It’s why we should be avoiding these kinds of constant brinksmanship. It’s something that we do in the ordinary process of this extraordinary system of government that we have. You don’t get to extract a ransom for doing your job; for doing what you’re supposed to be doing anyway; or just because there’s a law there that you don’t like.
Did you catch that!?

...just because there’s a law there that you don’t like.

Remember that part of his election platform was he would not enforce a law he didn't like!? Again, he thought that the exact thing he said you shouldn't do was such a good idea that he actually used it!

Hypocrite!
