I cant go into detailz, but its sumthing thats suppozed to be impossible. I started on it without an initial inspiration, I just desided that I need to get a major credential to back up my boasting about doing the impossible.



Dude. Tell me that it's a perpetual motion machine!

I actually dreamed up an idea for one back in my drinking days. It's one of the only things I remember in about 5 years, so maybe that means something?

No way. Are you kidding me? lol

Wouldn't it be amazing if a schmo like you or me were to turn the world on it's head with somethin' like that?

I think, whatever the eventual answer is the missing ingredient is solar power.

Might not ever achieve perpetual, but maybe perpetual-enough is more than what we need.

Perpetual enuf.

I think thats the key insite. Purists will argue that the parts will eventually break, but then its just a teknikality. The univers iz effectively a perpetual motion machine, prooving that its possibl, so it bekumz a question uv how small & simpl can you make it.

I think its more likely that an uneducated schmo will figure it out kuz the peepl hoo hav gon thru the full conformity factory sycle beleev it cant be dun so wont waste their time.

Yeah. I agree with all of that.

Maybe a pure perpetual machine is not something that humans could ever achieve. So what? Even if it were, parts would eventually break. So what? Every machine we all use in our daily lives draw off of a source of power with little to no reciprocity and I have very little faith that any single thing I own that does today is still going to be chugging along after i die.

I've seen what a perpetual motion machine "should" look like. I've watched videos which are almost certainly hoaxes of smaller perpetual motion machines that people have made on youtube. Even if they are faked in some way, the overall idea seemed sound and it looked as though if it were built properly that a tiny catalyst could set off a reaction that could crank a shaft for quite a while on its own before slowing and eventually stopping.


My thinking is that these designs I've seen for perpetual motion machines are possibly missing the point by striving for something that might not even be possible at the end of the day. What does that matter, if we could use solar power with them as they are now and investigate the possibility of these machines actually multiplying the value of solar power?

Who cares if it doesn't run long after nightfall? That's what batteries are for.

Perpetual Enough.

I think Cindi Lauper would say...



Hey... maybe if we put something together to change the world here, Cindi would lend us the rights to her song to put it out there. :)




EDIT: Well damn if the lyrics to this song don't really fit with the theme of striving for Perpetual Motion.

Here we are
Hanging onto strains of greed and blues
Break the chain then we break down
Oh it's not real if you don't feel it
Unspoken expectations
Ideals you used to play with
They've finally taken shape for us.

What's good enough for you
Is good enough for me
It's good enough
It's good enough for me
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Now you'll say
You're startin' to feel the push and pull
Of what could be and never can
You mirror me stumblin' through those
Old fashioned superstitions
I find too hard to break
Oh maybe you're out of place

What's good enough for you
Is good enough for me
It's good enough
It's good enough for me
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
for you
Is good enough for me
It's good, it's good enough
It's good enough for me
Yeah yeah…

I am now rejistered az a rite-in candidate for Governor uv Illinois.
http://www.7532020.com/GUVRNR.htm

Took 2 weeks to prep the formz & envelopes. It seemed everything wuz working agenst me. The printer wuz out uv ink, then woudnt print kuz Windowz had added a 2nd printer with the same name with a faulty driver and selected it az default. Then my frij quit on Wenzday. Then the address labelz were falling off.

But I got thru it. Fixed the Frij yesterday. Got a start relay from a mini frij at the scrap resycler and put the disc rezistor from it in mine.

A tip for wen your frij diez - Put a bag uv ise in the freezer & frij to keep your food from spoiling. I put 2 22 pound bagz in Thurzday morning and they were still mostly frozen on Friday nite wen I added a 3rd.

I was going to say that "I wish I lived in Illinois", but then I remembered just how huge a lie that would have been if I posted it.

You'd have my vote if I did though J0.

If you ever want to move to a state that doesn't rape you with taxes, I'm right across the border from you with a ballot with your name on it.

Good luck.

Got a donation begging email from Bernie Sanderz.

It haz a good idea for leveling the playing field, at least a little:

Quote:

Jeff Bezos and his company, Amazon, make huge profits by paying their employees wages that are so inadequate that many of them need public assistance just to get by. Today in America, thousands of Amazon workers are forced to rely on food stamps, Medicaid and public housing because they can't survive on the wages they receive. Meanwhile, Jeff Bezos is now worth $158 billion, and his wealth increases by $260 million - every single day. How absurd is that?

And who pays for the public assistance subsidizing Mr. Bezos’ wealth? You do. The middle class subsidizes the wealthiest person in the world, while his workers struggle to put food on the table. That is what the rigged economy is all about. And in my view, that has got to end.

That is why I introduced a piece of legislation that aims to end corporate welfare by establishing a 100 percent tax on corporations with 500 or more employees equal to the amount of federal benefits received by their low-wage workers.

So, if a worker at Amazon receives $1,000 in food stamps, Amazon would be taxed $1,000 to cover that cost.



I'd either get rid uv the 500+ employee stipulation or make it progressiv, like starting at 50% for 1 to 10 employeez and increasing by 5% at sum interval to be determined by practicalityz.

I'd have to disagree with that one a bit, J0. Part of leveling the playing field would be to promote entrepreneurship. Putting a 50% tax on the first 10 employees would almost make the barrier to entry too unaffordable for anybody trying to start a small business. That being said, I would reclassify what constitutes a sub-contractor, and change the laws so that a company would really have to bend over backward to prove that the people working for them aren't actually employees so they can avoid paying for their share of Social Security and Medicare. Right now, it's on the employee to fight that, and this usually requires seeking legal consul which nobody at the bottom can even afford to do.

I don't know how versed you are in working shitty jobs, but this is an EXTREMELY common practice and puts a HUGE tax burden on some of the smallest wage earners in the country.

If I were you, I'd surely get rid of that 500+ number, but I don't think I'd start extra taxes on the business until they had more than 20 or 25 employees at the very least.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

Looks like there are nothing but a bunch of Left Wing Loony Toons in your comment section. I suppose you'd get the same thing from the Right Wing Loony Toons if you went on an equal and opposite Republican shill site.

I'm wondering if you see the parallels to some posts around these parts when you read how some called you pathetic, said it "shouldn't end well" regarding your alleged violation of their rules, and how delusional people are when they sing JB Pritzger's praise and knock you for spelling his name wrong.

Fucking jerks and/or idiots.



Don't let them get you down. Wish I could vote for you man.

.....


Yanno what? I'm going to talk to my brother who still lives there. I don't think he was planning on voting anyhow he's so disgusted with politics. Maybe I can convince him to give a "fuck you" vote to the system for ya and even get my sis-in-law to do it too. No promises.





BTW... would your name actually show up on the ballot or would they have to write it in? If it's got to be a write in, you need to tell me exactly what they're supposed to write.

Herez the rule:

Complete accuracy of a write-in candidate’s name is not necessary as long as the election judges can determine a voter’s intent to select a specific write-in candidate. There should be some relationship between the appearance or sound of the name written or printed on the ballot and that of the write-in candidate’s actual name.

If there is a dispute, a majority of the election judges must agree as to the intent of the voter. If a majority agreement among the election judges cannot be reached, the write-in vote will not be counted.


So variationz such az Joe 753, JO 754, JO 357 JO sevenfivethree etc woud be counted. Stuff like Joe Numbers mite get passed on to the jujez.

OOPS! I did violate the rulez!

SITE PURPOSE
This is a site for Democrats.
That’s the fundamental premise underlying all expectations about posting, commenting, and interacting with other site users. We are here to connect, unite, work together toward a common purpose, whether it’s to elect more and better Democrats, to advocate for specific issues, or even to socialize among like-minded friends. But ultimately, we are fighting to make ours a stronger, more effective, more progressive Democratic Party. Given our clear goals, these are our only ideological prohibitions:

Advocacy for third parties or third-party candidates
Advocacy for voting against Democrats or not voting at all
Attacks on Democratic candidates based on right-wing rhetoric and frames


I went to try to post the Swamp vid az you segjested and clicking the BLOG IT button led to 'paje not found'

I'll see if I can persuade them to reconsider by mentioning that the above sez better Democrats, but its not likely to work.

Maybe they will see the lite in a few yirz wen Pritzker iz wearing an oranj jump soot.

Wow... lol.

I'd heard of Daily Kos before, but I didn't really know anything about it. When you posted the link and I read all of those replies I had to google the site to see that it was "is a group blog and internet forum focused on the Democratic Party and liberal American politics." That seems fairly narrow, but I didn't know they went so far as banning any 3rd party stuff too.

You're much better off without them. Anybody that works this hard to create their own echo chamber is not going to listen to anything.

xanks, CC & THG.

I think they like me kuz I hav my own ideaz rather than getting them from the Demz. Maybe a few coinside with Putin'z vision for the future Earth.

6string - I xot we were way past that. Yes, its my real name.

The debate iz tonite! KWIK! I need sum snappy comebacks for wen they call me a slacker idiot!

All I got so far iz 'No, YOU are the idiot!' and 'the jerk store called and they are running out uv you!' (not likely to be applicable in the available time frame, besidez, it backfired for George anyway)

I better try to get sum sleep now.

The debate seemed to go well for me. Got plenty uv laffs. I opened with:
"I hav good newz & bad newz. The bad newz for us candidates iz that we're going to looz - Pritzker'z going to be the next Govrnr.
The good newz iz that we arent likely to be wearing an oranj jump suit in 5 yirz!"

The GIT ansr to the gun control Q wuz a hit. Its fair to say the NO MONEY / Steal Illinois campane took a step forward.

On the downside, only 1 other candidate, Dan Fein, showed up and there were only associates and frendz uv hiz and the organizerz for the audiens. Still, several peepl sed I hav their vote.

Dan iz with the Socialist Workerz party. If you are curious about hiz pozitionz its all here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialist_Workers_Party_(United_States)

He haz the idea that the workerz uv America need to stock up on gunz and ammo for the impending revolution, so iz agenst any sort uv gun control lawz.

I vizited Lauren Underwood'z campane offis yesterday.

Its appalling how much paper iz wasted on the entire prossess.

There wuz at least 2 tunz uv posterz, postcardz, stickerz, etc. I sed 'no way you'll be able to uze it all in 4 dayz' and the campaner sed "No, I'm pretty sure we will."

You haf to figure there wuz at least 10 x az much printed and distributed over the campane period. That wuz just 1 uv her 4 offisez. So did they print & distribute 80 tunz uv this krap?

Then therez Hultgren, the incumbent GoP congressman she'z running agenst. He probably did just az much.

https://ballotpedia.org/Illinois%27_14th_Congressional_District_electi
on,_2018


Then there wuz the primary for the Demz with 6 candidates cranking out printed junk.

Its realistic to estimate that 200 tunz uv paper haz been expended on just this 1 contest.

Multiply that by the number uv offisez up for grabz in the country.

I hope I hav grossly overestimated it.

No. I don't believe you have overestimated it J0.

That was my job, back in the late 90's into the 2000's. I had 3 different business cards with different titles on them, depending on who the client was and what my part of the operation was going to be.

Our building had everything necessary to make all of that crap every step of the way, including official post office scales so the mailers could be weighed in-house by postal employees without having to drive them to the post office first in case the weights were off for the bulk shipping rates.

During election cycles, our little building pumped out an unbelievable amount of product, and I would be working over 100 hours a week with time and a half for 3 to 4 weeks straight (I paid off my last car I had payments on with a single check back when I was 20). I lived close enough to home so I always slept in my bed, but a lot of the employees were put up in a local hotel so they could come straight back to work.


The campaign mailers were our bread and butter, but we'd also farm out jobs for signs and bumper stickers and all other sorts of crap. Because of the owners political ties at the time, he was able to charge top dollar and won the "contests" in the bidding for the jobs without any opposition, so we made quite a bit of money on top of the charges other smaller places made to do these smaller jobs.

That last statement is something I never would have mentioned back in the day, but all those guys ended up being arrested back in the early 2000's when they all fell like dominoes on the path to taking down George Ryan, so it's all old news. I could actually give you a laundry list of names that you're probably familiar with if you've lived in Illinois all of your life. Some of them I worked with every day. Some of them I shook hands with, got to dress up in a suit and take my best gal out to expensive political fund raisers for free, and handled the operations of their accounts. Most of them spent quite a few years in federal prison for one white collar crime or another.


I quit college while I was working there because I was making so much money and with the people I was meeting I figured I'd never need it. Then it all disappeared, leaving me without an education or even a single valid reference on my resume.


They were good times while they lasted.


Shame it wasn't even worth it since Illinois can't seem to get a Governor in office that isn't corrupt no matter which party they're from.




Long story short, I do believe that until we have serious campaign finance reform that we are going to cut down a small rainforest every 2 years just to print all of this bullshit.

On the flip side, campaign finance reform will eliminate a lot of jobs as well.

Yes and no, at least I would suppose.

We were relatively "small time", as in we did only local and state stuff and didn't have any hand in any national elections.

A lot of money goes into these things, so there is an effort to only be spending it on stuff that would be worthwhile. Voter lists were good for this. Based off of how a person regularly voted in primaries you could, for example, only target likely voters that were going to vote for your candidate if you could get their ass off the couch instead of just doing a blanket mailer to everybody who lived in a district. Why waste all that money sending mailers to non-registered citizens or people who regularly vote for the other party, right?

Though I didn't have any hand in the strategy of who was targeted or how much money went into a particular campaign, I would assume that there were quite a few races on the same level that got wildly varying degrees of funding. Races that were a sure lost cause probably didn't get much, just like races that were almost a surefire win probably didn't either. My guess would be the most money was spent on the races that were polled to be tight. This would mean that there was probably instances where funding for lower level races was actually a few times more than higher level races.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

Move to a different state, and browbeat anybody you care about to do the same thing ASAP.


You're paying as much in property taxes as I used to pay in monthly rent for an apartment that had heat, water and trash pickup included with the bill.

How much do you think your house is going to be worth when the dirty little secrets surrounding the EAV and the other numerous tricks Illinois uses to calculate those taxes that would all be deemed unconstitutional in Indiana's constitution are made clear to the public?

I'm actually kind of shocked that it hasn't come out yet. Investigative journalism is dead and there must be a lot of payoffs to keep those secrets.

Take your outrage to the press and sue for a recount. Suggest you have a dvd with incriminating video of the winner - just, yanno, suggest it/put it out there - and see if any big fish come nibbling.

You might scare up some bonus *campaign funds* from all the guilt wracked s.o.bs for your next run.
