Active Democrat. Retired, married (1969), USAF Vietnam Veteran (Thailand 43151E SSG). Active USAF 1967-1970, MBA (Operations Research, UW-Oshkosh in 1975), I was "overqualified" for a long time. I took SS at 62, and here we are! Satisficing=take enough.
I read materials for a class once, "What to do when there is no doctor coming". Triage, bandages for people bleeding out, lots of death. Imagine Yossarian helping the mortally wounded bombardier.
Possible courses of action...suicide, ignore death and pain of others.

THE RUSSIANS REALLY STUPID GAMBLING STRATEGY...KEEP BETTING, EVER LARGER AMOUNTS, IN A VAIN HOPE OF RECOUPING EARLIER LOSSES. THIS IS A RECOGNIZED WAY TO LOSE ALL YOUR MONEY, PROPERTY, AND CHIPS!

I was pointing out where I got my ideas. My two-semester geology adventure got me two "B's", and I was okay with having completed my UW-Oshkosh science requirement. I ate an "F" in minerology and enlisted in the USAF to avoid becoming a rifleman in Vietnam.

This could very well be the "Gulf of Tonkin" episode of the Lord Dampnut Regime. Gobdabnit, please wake up! When will the draft get reinstated? I am M78, a Vietvet, so I feel insulated.

One of my MBA thesis advisors wrote his dissertation on "Satisficing." I quickly read and became a follower. He flogged that thing every time he could.

Lord Dampnut will have to be removed by applying the 25th Amendment to the US Constitution. Then we locate an appropriate cesspit for the deposit ceremony.

Lord Dampnut will become an important case study in many fields for future generations of social scientists.

I love the 300-word limit of Blue Sky. I edit and add and delete until I get close to the limit and still get my point across. With the addition of FREE Grammatica, I can create a nice paragraph...good English, adhere to word limit, and you need a topic sentence, or you got nothing!

Also, too, the DJT Memorial Urinal (with sprinkler head) at the graveside will be getting a workout! The nearby grass will be dead, and no more will grow!

Dude, if you haven't already, do yourself a huge favor and hook up with the Veterans Administration. BCD and DD separations are probably not eligible for many benefits. If you have a good discharge, go for it! I am merely old and close to indigent, with an Honorable Discharge. Go to the VA Website.

I continue to find the discussion and comparison of Speaker Johnson's "spank bank" with that of his son more than a little funny!
Get serious, and get back to "Epstein, Epstein, Epstein."
