Nickel & dimed, no free parking, hugs are back and “child allowances” are all the rage!
0:00-14:45
People hate being nickel and dimed! Even Monopoly had the good sense to offer free parking. Jeff’s irritated by his kids charter school that wants $50, the full years parking fee, for his seniors parking spot! Hey wait a second, you were closed 80% of the time! Where’s the prorated amount?
Hugs are back! The “officials” say nursing home residents, if they’re vaccinated can now receive hugs! But...you still gotta wear a mask!
Got a kid, get a “child allowance” compliments of Uncle Sam. Citizens are now treated like children waiting for an allowance! What happens if you're bad? Do you get your allowance taken away?
2022 game on & royal stuff!
14:46-24:23
2022 election already heating up. Biggs against Kelly? Walt Blackman for CD1? Matthew McConaughey for governor of Texas? Geraldo for Ohio Senate?
A listener is upset over Jeff not caring about the whole royal family drama. Jeff still doesn’t care!
End of “right tp work” states?
24:23-43:19
Stephen Shadegg, state director with Americans for Prosperity Arizona, talks about the Pro Act, a bill in Congress to end right to work states! What is a right to work state? Will the Pro Act further damage the economy? What about independent contractors? Crushing the American entrepreneur one vote at a time! Plus, Covid driving our future but, it’s time to get back to work and back to normal! Government bailouts are not the solution and the Government doesn’t know better and they’re not our parents!
A disincentive to work? Jeff crunches the numbers!
43:20-62:19
Arizona Healthy Forests initiative offers up $25million to help clear up the forest and will use up to 700 low risk AZ inmates to help out!
Americans are leaving home in greater numbers than before the pandemic. Jeff discusses a Chron.com article on the (kinda creepy) tracking data that shows Americans are back out there in very large numbers!
Arizona is getting an amount, from the stimulus, almost equal to its annual budget. Where’s all this money going to go? Jeff likens it to a massive drunken orgy! Eventually the party will end with a bill due (and maybe a trip to the clinic)!
Jeff explains a tale of two families. One worked harder to make more. But in the end, the other family got the same amount due to government handouts.
Assume all your “private messages” will one day be public.
62:20-74:03
Coconino County School Superintendent resigns after porn found on government computer. Discussion on company and government devices and what you can and can’t do with it.
The politicians should have to send out a truth in lending statement with all this stimulus. 1/2 the country will have to pay back all this stimulus. The other half does not pay federal income tax. Many will get $1,400 but what will that $1,400 cost them after they pay it all back through taxation?
