And that's just from the psychological point of view! Media disinformation, global disinformation, autocracies vs democracies, zombie investments, interest rates back to normal, inflation going crazy, faulty stops signs and ineffective red lights, and people selling houses with $300K gains not worrying about taxes nor if they get their bond payment back when they pay if off at the time of purchase. .

Insanely MAD!

Dilbert creator Scott Adams has been canceled for recent comments on race. His syndicator has stopped all new distribution of his Dilbert work including calendars and other merchandising. The only place you will be able to find the Dilbert strip will be on Scott Adams locals at $5/mo.

It's not as if the strip itself was "racist" - or if it was it was anti every race going

Still, knowing The Daily Rag, they'll probably repeat them without realizing...
Dilbert is gone from everywhere except it will be on Scott Adams locals.

We called it the Funnies back in western Pennsylvania back in my youth. But then that area called a wash cloth a “patch” and a rubber band a “gum” band. So what did we know!? 🤷*♀️

Harry and Megan, the "royal" pains for the British, their newest money making endeavor; Harry is going into therapy for all his trauma, BUT, it will be PUBLIC. For about $30 a session, you can watch his live sessions with his therapist on line. If this is true, how in the world can a licensed mental health professional support public voyeurism as HEALTHY for the patient ! Yes, the world has lost it's collective mind, those who would do this and those who would truly enjoy watching ! !
they would have to pay ME $ 40 per session to endure that stuff.

Sure, it's not "Saving the Amazon" but, seeing how much flak Greta Thunberg gets, I think I made the right decision.
Oh, Greta Thunberg IS my idol. She is the intellectual GODDESS of her generation. Having the stature of Mahatma Gandhi.

Yes, I noticed the double print of the same article. It didn’t wreck my day.

I read several papers every day, including WSJ, NYT, and some foreign papers. A lot of them report most negative things, all the horrors that happen all over the world, all the bad things that happen to people. They have good information about business, etc too. But I like to finish my reading sessions with the Daily Sun, to have a laugh or a chuckle or encouragement…to start the rest of my day.
The WSJ and NYT will stop reporting on crime and violence in the US (which is increasing) when SAID INCREASING crime and violence CEASES to increase and then ceases to exist. Just be thankful that we live in a Bubble-like-world where we can PRETEND that ALL news is GOOD news!

And very nice of The Daily Rag to reprint it today, in case you missed the exact same one yesterday.

If you missed it today, too, may I suggest you look in tomorrow's paper as I doubt that they'd have come up with anything new to print.
Another grumpy, negative post. I LOVE the DS' local coverage. I find the national and world news coverage a good overview, to be supplemented by other news sources such as WSJ and other US and foreign online publications.

I guess I can do much better in terms of people to follow.
