Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for August 23, 2019

I see the Wiley bears have a wily new disguise.

In certain areas of Houston, this is almost true.

What will they do when the victim shows up with a digger and takes the whole ATM?

Obviously not a job training class

It’s OK if you’re a Trump voter.

AKA conservative idiotology, i.e., you get mugged by stinking rich thugs.

LA Story

They should be dressed like bank execs.

Congress. Need I say more.

Talk softly and walk a German shepherd

it’s cheap to live in America pay your taxes think of the rest of the world you could be

Making it rain?

Or, “Penny for your thoughts.”

After the fees, there’s not a lot left.

I like the roads that I can drive and ride on, the fact that emergency vehicles can reach my door when needed and take me to a hospital where I can get pretty decent medical care. I like the infrastructure that provides the power and lights and allows me to connect with the outside world. I like the water purification plants that help decontaminate our water, the inspectors who check on our food production to minimize contamination, the safety rules and regulations that protect consumers from harm, the military, fire fighters, and police who are here to protect us, the schools which educate our young (the future teachers, doctors, nurses, farmers, ranchers, business people, bankers, lawyers — the voters of the future) and a myriad of other things that our tax dollars help pay for. Is money wasted? yes, but a lot of what one person calls ‘wasted’ is another person’s preferred use. It isn’t all bridges to nowhere. Sometimes it’s just that the bridge was built way over there instead of right here. If we didn’t have a tax system, how would we pay for all this and more? Do we have problems? Yes! That is why we should constantly seek to improve the tax system and each of the components that it supports. We need better schools, better training for police, better medical facilities, a better infrastructure, etc. Of course, changing the status quo will take more tax dollars. . .

I believe that one of the signs of TDS is responding to every stimulus with something anti-Trump, even when the stimulus had nothing to do with politics.

Is that Pierre of the North first in line? Things getting rough up there too?

I believe one of the the signs of Trump Delusional Syndrome is continuing to defend an incompetent immature semi-literate buffoon who is obviously unfit.

Detroit or Chicago?

Guy walks into a bank and shouts, This is a stickup! Branch manager walks over and says, Beat it pal, the bank’s working this side of the street.

Don’t you HATE waiting in line at these things?

@Wiley – you sure nailed it in metaphor.

The Thugs park their Limousine around the corner.

Today’s thieves: Banks and the 1%.

We’ve had the trickle down theory for awhile and most of us aren’t even damp.
