Why is living healthy important? One thing is we can withstand stress better. Healthy living and a healthy body gives us reserves to withstand unexpected problems. Knowledge gives us information on making better choices. What is important about living? A clue is that getting high is bad for the long run. Moderation is the more intelligent choice. Too many things and too many people can add to stress. Not everything new or more is making life better. When greed and the present culture markets lifestyles as positive we all know they are selling it because a good life choice never needs to be sold. Less is more about understanding the gift of life.

It comes down to promises the Government can not keep. Many people want to hear the Government is going to take care of them when in fact it is mainly taking care of those running the Government. The next time someone running for office tells you all the things they are going to do for you remember they do not have the resources to do so. Vote for the person who tells you that you have to work to achieve anything in life.

If government increases the money supply but resources are reduced due to loss of workers, you will have more dollars chasing fewer goods. That means the dollar will be worth less and the poor will get poorer.

You can not fix problems by throwing money at it. The problem has always been finite resources and increasing population.

The local economy does not offer big dreams for our younger generation. The move of Tupelo businesses to spend on entertainment, sports, rock starts, movie stars and tourist businesses such as food and hotels fails to have a vision for future needs and progress in a world of high competition for finite resources. The future is one of intellectual skills not physical skills. Automation will take most jobs away from those who are not taught to think and be creative.

People With Intellectual Disabilities May Be Denied Lifesaving Care Under These Plans as Coronavirus Spreads.Disaster preparedness plans in Washington and Alabama say people with cognitive issues are a lower priority for lifesaving treatment. Disability advocacy organizations have asked the federal government to clarify the plans.Advocates for people with intellectual disabilities are concerned that those with Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, autism and other such conditions will be denied access to lifesaving medical treatment as the COVID-19 outbreak spreads across the country.

The world population needs to get serious about resources and over population. Pollution, climate change, destruction of the oceans, over mined minerals, energy use, destruction of the forests and wild life, and general lack of care for being honest. We can not let greed and emotions be our primary information for making decisions.

Doctors Are Hoarding Unproven Coronavirus Medicine by Writing Prescriptions for Themselves and Their Families
Pharmacists told ProPublica that they are seeing unusual and fraudulent prescribing activity as doctors stockpile unproven coronavirus drugs.

In this world of scam calls and many others taking advantage of each other we can not trust a Government that intrudes selectively.

Most industries use ‘just in time’ to reduce the cost of having inventory. It reduces having to have warehouses and money tied up in stock. It requires a steady predictable use of resources. It does not work during a crises. World resources are finite as we use them faster than nature can provide. Over population causes shortages and many do without. The individual has the burden of holding more inventory than they need to protect themselves from crises. Most people do not do this in fact many people have no savings because inflation reduces the value of money. When the government spends more money than it takes in, in taxes it causes inflation. This present crises could be a government invention to reduce the value of money so people get poorer as the value of government debt goes down. This is the hidden tax we all pay for poor leadership.

“Baltimore mayor to residents: Please stop shooting each other We cannot clog up our hospitals and their beds’ with shooting victims”

Never let government control healthcare. They do not have the knowledge, ability, resources or the will, to care about your individual life and care. A doctor paid by insurance works for the insurance company not you.

In this age of technology where humanity has exploited the finite resources of earth using them faster than nature can provide we are seeing the results of our stupidity. We have emotions to help survival of the genes which are best able to survive the environment. This means some genes give us gifts for survival and others are handicapped due to mutates that hinder survival. Nature always wins in the long run. Years ago the Americas had a population isolated from Europe and did not have the genes to survive the attacks of the microbes brought here. No different in todays world as random mutates will always bring new challenges to survival. Lifestyles are all different and the forced mixing of different genetic makeups only brings a higher probability of random survival challenges.

Government programs that force some gene pools to pay for other gene pools only fail because nature has no emotions and will continue to use entropy to keep a steady evolution of the universe.

Illinois legalized video gambling in 2009 as part of an effort to dig itself out of a financial hole. For years, the state has struggled to generate revenue, balance its budget and maintain its infrastructure. Video gambling was seen as one way to do that. Legalizing marijuana and sports betting, as well as casino expansion, represent newer efforts.Not only did the state not make as much money from video gambling as it projected, only a fraction of video gambling profits go back to cities and towns — while gambling companies, as well as the politicians they lobby, benefit. Additionally, we’ve shown how Illinois residents who gamble have lost more than $5 billion of their own money since the machines went live in 2012, sometimes sending individuals and families into spirals from gambling addiction. Though state funding to assess and treat gambling addiction often failed to meet the need, Illinois is now allocating more money.
The state of Mississippi is exploring mobile sports betting to go along with its large casino industry. Once the third-largest gambling destination in the country, behind Nevada and New Jersey, Mississippi gaming revenue has fallen by $200 million since 2010. The decline has also led four casinos to shutter, shedding about 5,000 jobs in the process.

What the State needs is to remove the tax on food and require Corporate owners to be personally responsible fro the results of their actions, including politicians and lawyers. Low paid workers do not have enough money to pay taxes.
