Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for March 23, 2022

I wouldn’t call that politics but business. On the other hand politics is all about business greasing the hand of politics

Politics? This is the dawn of corporate decision making.

The future is told by the quickest prophet. The history is written by the write side and the dawn of politics is on the East side. Until you have a coin to toss, your best chance is to bang your head on the “X”.

…and therein lies a problem with the bipolar political structure: one side being “right”.

It’s not all profit.

Much, if not most, is hatred. Of Those People.

You can’t do business most places without paying off the politicians first.

The signs seem to be quite clear: To go left is wrong.

Mercantilism does it better and w/o the political carnovorism of capitalism.

“More than at any other time in history, mankind faces a crossroads. One path leads to despair and utter hopelessness. The other, to total extinction. Let us pray we have the wisdom to choose correctly.” — Woody Allen, “My Speech to the Graduates” (1979)

Forty-three freakin’ years ago and it still holds up beautifully.

Since this appears to be PREhistoric, no one is going to know what they chose or judge it’s right/wrongness. But one thing for sure, if they don’t progress, they go extinct.

Shouldn’t that read “Left” and “Right”? After all, sometime RIGHT is WRONG.

Depends on if you believe on making the best of opportunities or waiting for the manna from Heaven to fall in your mouth by not doing a thing other than whining that it is owed to you because __Fill_in_the__Blank.

I don’t know why I bother to point this out, but

HISTORY DOES NOT HAVE RIGHT OR WRONG SIDES!

“In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.” – Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Is Wiley suggesting, the actions of politicians are driven by greed and avarice?

Oh no, that just can’t be. For surely they are honourable men.

“Which one will get us re-elected”

I thought it was the dawn of business.

it’s a trick. anyway you pick is the wrong side

Who put that display on the wall in the first place?

Well, based on the pile of bones. . .

Putin’s ancestors.

I am watching Senator Tom Ossoff interview Judge Jackson… I thought my sons were brilliant! He is 8 days younger than my eldest, and 4 days short of 2 years older than my youngest. February mid-late 80s produced some intelligent millennials!

The trouble is that it takes generations for history to sort it out, and even then, some will dispute it. There are still people who think Hitler was on the right side and the holocaust didn’t happen.

Nailed it. Politicians seem to accrue money faster than almost any business with zero risk.

The correct title is The Dawn of Humankind"

It’s ironic that these days comedians are being intentionally political, while politicians are being unintentionally comedians.

This is actually the Dawn of Business. Politics was invented later to cover up the get-rich-quick disasters.

Doesn’t quite hit home.I doubt money had been inventedyet during the stone age.

I know what you’re saying but you picked the wrong year,

Whoever wins a fight promptly declares that victory has proven them to be on ‘The Right Side Of History’; and goes on to write the ‘history’ of the fight.

Naw they at times are the funniest thing around, examples Johnson and Kennedy are damn funny.

Just as I thought, turning to the left is the wrong thing to do.

According to this arc, the only significant changes since prehistoric eras seems to be in clothing and food gathering. Motivations seem to be the same now as then.

a very apt description of the American dream

The dawn of capitalism you mean

How did these MAGAs get in here?

The answer to his question is: Left, because they cheat….js

Actually that is the dawn of business, Politics dawned when someone figured out they could get other people to give them stuff for doing nothing.

Well, we know which road HE’s going to travel, don’t we?

The Birth of the GOP.
