Volunteer to Stop Welfare

So, I could go out and get on food-stamps and get a welfare check, but I don’t like the idea of forcing anyone to pay for me to be lazy.  So instead, put your libertarian mouths where your hoarded gold is and volunteer to pay me to be lazy!

I have started a Patreon page where you can give as much or as little as you like (as low as a dollar a month, less than it costs to feed a starving kid in Africa) to help support the Hat and the Hair cartoons.

    How about we just shut down government welfare programs and go back to private charities. The seemed to work very well for the first 200 years.

    Art and my art information drives so much of what I do even though I’m a STEM guy by today’s standards. My understanding of how people see and process information informs the design of much of what I do, like how presentations (sales, management) are laid out, how busy the content is, how colors are used (and minimized!). This even flows into technical drawings, service manual, and work instructions.

    I also draw ad hoc cartoons to make my points in meetings; it’s terribly effective everywhere from the four-man work-team to the C-level pitch.

    I’m great at caricature but have never done political cartoons: been too busy building things.

          Because the landscaping crew is trying to climb over it for some reason?

          1. Sensei

            Simply because of the time period during when it was built.

            But at least with the crew my landscaper has it is possible a Mexican may very well be climbing over it… repeatedly…

      I love TCU and married into it once upon a time, but I can only chuckle when I see their tweets warning students that this guy is recording on campus. The questions seem fair enough to me and seem to reveal that TCU students just aren’t that special.

      1. Rebel Scum

        Especially this chick. Ms. “I’m on the debate team so I do this for fun!” I am still watching and I have yet to see her grasp the principle of freedom of speech, let alone the current American legal structure for it or the nuance of the distinction between the gov’t and private entities and/or the nuance of the distinction between the political and cultural aspect of the freedom of speech. That said, she’s a solid would.

        1. Don Escaped Texas

          Funny how that works out.

          Speaking of north TX, my son won a regional high school debate there as a mere sophomore. Years later, he would crush the LSAT essay section when one of his old debate topics was posed. He went to band camp at TCU; it’s really a sweet little place that I could never afford.

          1. C. Anacreon

            This one time, in band camp, I told everyone I would crush the LSAT.

        Also, my impression of Crowder is that he is someone who probably only passed the 10th grade because he schmoozed a smart girl into letting him cheat off her, and this is the best they can do the people he didn’t edit out can do?

            He worked for NPR? Socialist bastard!

            Even worse is the fact that he’s basically a Canadian anchor baby.

      Don’t always like Woodward, but he seems dead on there.

      1. C. Anacreon

        Oh, they’ll find some sympathetic asshole judge who will agree with them and order he be reinstated. Hey, if they can get judges to say Trump can’t revoke his predecessor’s executive orders, there’s probably a judge out there who’ll do just about anything for them.

        1. cyto

          I can’t believe that hasn’t gotten more attention. There must be something that I missed, because it seems to be entirely founded upon “I agreed with what that guy was doing, so I’m going to rule that you have to keep doing what he was doing”.

          At the very least you’d think there would be a lot more scrutiny on the idea that we have a system where one guy can issue an edict and have it become the immutable law of the land without any say-so from anyone else.

  10. Luther Baldwin

    LOL if this is the kind of crap the Dems are going to put all their energy into for the next two years, I don’t think America has anything to worry about.

    “This morning 100s of young people came together to ask us as elected officials to act urgently to draft a Green New Deal that gets us to 100% renewable energy ASAP,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted.

    1. Rebel Scum

      Make this woman speaker.

      1. AlmightyJB

        Yeah, I want a mic in front of her all of the time. You would think her supporters would be embarrassed.

        1. juris imprudent

          I was curious to watch the election results to see if Dems in that district actually paid any attention to the candidate before voting. Apparently not, she ran right at Crowley’s average.

        2. AlexinCT

          They would have to be smart enough to get that she is a dumb asshat first for them to be embarrassed, but they are likely to be as misinformed and dumb as she is, and not have a clue about that fact.

          1. invisible finger

            Add in the inevitable “She must be smart because she won and she’s on TV all the time” attitude and having her as speaker accelerates us on our road to serfdom. Ask a Venezuelan (or any Central American) how long it takes a collapse to run its course.

      2. Luther Baldwin

        It’s weird watching Pelosi try to put the brakes on her own party’s growing lunacy. Cortex and her friends really want that old bag out.

      “…We can embrace the energy of activism to move our party’s goals forward.”

      Pretty much sums it up.

        Is it renewable?

        1. juris imprudent

            AKA low oil prices caused by America – see how evil oil is?

          4. AlexinCT

            Someone should call the douche that told us we could not drill our way out of high oil prices and ask him if he now feels any regret having said that stupid thing he did (I know there were a lot of stupid things he said, but it will be fun to watch him just act offended for being called a dumb ass).

    3. BakedPenguin

      …gets us to 100% renewable energy ASAP

      Fission, of course, not counting as “renewable”.

      1. cyto

        I find the underlying mythology most interesting.

        The notion that there exists some limitless supply of almost free energy that “they” are keeping us from having, and if only the government would act and mandate it to be so, we could all live in pollution-free, shortage free, profit-free nirvana.

        I used to use this argument on animal rights activists when they would protest outside my lab. Their argument (in the early 90’s) was that we can just use computers to simulate biology, so we don’t need animals for research. My counter to that claim was “great, go and build that simulator. You will be a billionaire by morning and nobody will ever use animals for research again. Animal research is expensive and time consuming. Build your computer simulator and you will have solved far bigger problems than the ethics of animal research.”

        Of course, nobody ever took me up on it. They rarely, if ever, gave thought to the notion that maybe their idea of a computer simulation to replace animal testing was not feasible.

        This is the identical scenario. They posit “just spend loads of other people’s money and require renewable energy!”

        My counter argument is “great, go build it. You come up with a renewable, clean energy source that costs less than what we have, and you’ll have more money than the pope by morning. You’d make bill gates look like a pauper if you could come up with that technology. Heck, if I thought you could do it, I’d give you my life savings to go build it, so I could have enough money to buy Australia, just on my share.

    4. CPRM

      We’ll get right on that nuclear energy. Oh, you don’t want that? Um, how about some hydropower? Oh, that causes global warming as well? Solar, oh those minerals are mined by poor people being exploited by capitalist pigdogs…how about some windmills? Oh, yeah, those dead birds…

    So Drudge headlines that Kelly is on his way out because of spats with Melania. One of the other people he has an issue with is one of the moustache’s aids, Mira Ricardel. Melania has a BIG problem with her.

    No comment on the Kelly ouster from the White House, but after the headline, Melania’s office comes out with this statement:

    “It is the position of the Office of the First Lady that she [Ricardel] no longer deserves the honor of serving in this White House,” said Stephanie Grisham, the spokeswoman.

I will eat spaghetti every night. Sometimes carbonara, sometimes a red sauce. Tonight was a white wine/cream sauce with olives, onion and garlic. And a leftover pork chop. And vodka. I miss her. But I am getting good at guitar. Bored and lonely….

    This article has a little bit of everything that is wrong with the world.

    So, Amazon decides to put their new big center in New York. Predictably, people are complaining… But oh, the stupid…..

    Congresswoman-Elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez:

    “Amazon is a billion-dollar company. The idea that it will receive hundreds of millions of dollars in tax breaks at a time when our subway is crumbling and our communities need MORE investment, not less, is extremely concerning to residents here,”

    Uh,… Ok. We don’t want Amazon investing in our community because we need investment in…. ah, nevermind.

    But it gets better:

    “If you’re going to drop 25,000 people making more than $100,000 a year in a hot housing market, it is inevitable,” he said. “If local officials are not very intentional about attaching strings to this deal, including affordable housing safeguards and transit improvements, it is going to be very hard” for residents already trying to get by in those cities, he said.

    Got it? More jobs is bad for the economy because they aren’t promising to build housing for the poor? What kind of mental illness makes people think like that? I suppose it never occurred to him that if government wouldn’t block real estate development then they wouldn’t have an affordable housing issue…

    1. CPRM

      It’s almost like if a business will come to a place if you lower taxes, more businesses would come there if it weren’t a sweetheart deal. And if more businesses were in an area competing for employees wages would rise for everyone. Some one needs to look into this!

      1. cyto

        That was one of the most beautiful parts of the article… against the subsidies for all the wrong reasons. Just a bunch of rocket scientists running around in prog-land.

    I sometimes turn on Infowars for background noise when I go to bed. There is something comforting about listening to the rambling. The show usually start off with them showing how dishonest the media is. The false flag operations and conspiracy theories usually come later in the show.

    1. Akira

      While I do agree that the InfoWars crowd makes a lot of wild assertions with no evidence (e.g. damn near everything is a false flag) I do get annoyed when I hear Lefties complain about it since there’s plenty of equivalent nonsense from their own side.

      I remember some Leftist op-ed piece shortly after Newtown where the author pointed to some mutual fund that includes both gun manufacturers and healthcare firms, and the conclusion was that there’s a deliberate plot to “flood the inner cities with guns” and rake in profits from the increase in gunshot wounds (since, ya know, the average inner city gangbanger probably has really good health insurance).

      Then of course, there’s the RUSHIN COLLLOOOOSION” bullshit, which is scarcely better than something that Alex Jones dreamed up. The only difference is that they have the whole media pumping up the narrative and giving it legitimacy.
