You aren't qualified to polish her shoes. Maybe after you guys shut the government down and get furloughed. And you better not apply for food stamps either.

I'm more qualified than she is... anything she's ever done has been an umitigated disaster...


Benghazi being the worst because 4 people died under her watch because she didn't care.

[speechlesstx]

She may have to settle for just POTUS.

Right over your head...

[paraclete]

She can start by polishing my shoes...thats about all she's proven she's qualified to do.

Actually my shoes are the kind you don't polish... I never got my 20+ person personal servants like Moochele has at taxpayer expense...

Besides I prefer to wipe my own butt...

Even if I turn out to be heir to the throne someplace... I'd still rather wipe my own butt...

And if I was... do you think I'd be hanging out here?

Doing a little local distribution then?

Nope... not much rural remote places anywhere near where I live. Unfortunately. But creative landscaping on my slice of property makes it look a lot more remote than it really is...

Works well enough I practically have a wildlife preserve in my back yard, as small as it is... I have them fooled too. It would be a rare day I couldn't walk through my back yard almost any time of the day without spooking at least one deer.

When you consider my entire property is a little under 1,350 square meters. And I'm smack in the middle of a fully developed city with no undeveloped land for miles.

‘America’s Safest Car’ Ablaze After Fire Starts in Battery Pack
Tesla stock dives amid new worries about lithium-ion safety

A Tesla Model S electric car, touted as the safest car in America, caught fire on Tuesday, spurring new worries about the possible risks of lithium-ion batteries. In two recent incidents, involving Boeing’s new 787 plane and Chevrolet’s Volt hybrid car, fires have emanated from batteries of the same type.

Tesla spokeswoman Liz Jarvis-Shean said the fire was caused by a large metallic object hitting the battery pack, and pointed out that no one was injured. Company shares still dropped by more than 6 percent, following the appearance on the Internet of a video showing flames spewing out of the vehicle (mild profanity heard).

Was that metallic object a parked FedEx truck?

It's come to this, the Swiss gathered enough signatures to put a referendum up for vote to guarantee a minimum income from the Swiss the government to every Swiss adult.

Switzerland will hold a vote on whether to introduce a basic income for all adults, in a further sign of growing public activism over pay inequality since the financial crisis.

A grassroots committee is calling for all adults in Switzerland to receive an unconditional income of 2,500 Swiss francs ($2,800) per month from the state, with the aim of providing a financial safety net for the population.

Organizers submitted more than the 100,000 signatures needed to call a referendum on Friday and tipped a truckload of 8 million five-rappen coins outside the parliament building in Berne, one for each person living in Switzerland.

Under Swiss law, citizens can organize popular initiatives that allow the channeling of public anger into direct political action. The country usually holds several referenda a year.

Not only that, they want to restrict executive pay to no more than the lowest paid staff.

In March, Swiss voters backed some of the world's strictest controls on executive pay, forcing public companies to give shareholders a binding vote on compensation.

A separate proposal to limit monthly executive pay to no more than what the company's lowest-paid staff earn in a year, the so-called 1:12 initiative, faces a popular vote on November 24.

The initiative's organizing committee said the basic income could partly be financed through money from social insurance systems in Switzerland.

The timing of the vote has yet to be announced, pending official guidance from the government

I look for that to be on the agenda here, soon, probably beginning in Kalifornia. Apparently it's all the rage now and those countries who refuse to adopt such "predistribution" standards will be the "free riders," not all those fine citizens getting everything for nothing.
