Applied Physics

A body in motion tends to stay in motion, a body at rest tends to stay at rest, unless acted upon by an outside force. We the people, are the force, if something needs to be stopped, we need to step up and stop it, if something needs to start, it is up to us as well. You got to ask yourself every now and again, what in the hell am I trying to do here anyhow? Everyone in the Senate, every Representative, every Elected Official, needs to ask this question of themselves while they enjoy their Summer Break. Who do they stand for, is it the people, or is it business, do the people benefit by the business being done, or are the people just a benefit of doing business. I am all for making lots of money! Is it to idealistic, believing money made, should be a byproduct of good business, doing business that provides something of value. The people who hold Elected Office walk a tight rope, the reason they are there, is to do the peoples business, the money that gets them in, is corporate. Trickle down was given a chance, over the last few decades to work, I am sure there are people who will argue with me when I say it hasn’t. I wonder if Trickle Up might have a better effect! The people at the bottom, the group of people we now refer to as the middle class, know money is for spending, not hording. If the ones who get one hundred million dollar bonuses are thought to be the upper class, don’t you think it fair, the middle class get fifty million dollar bonus If what drives the cost of Hospital Care, is people who have no insurance, why not require Hospitals to protect themselves from this loss. When the cost of six stitches, is $4,400, I’m sure some of that money could be used to pay an insurance premium. Why not shift the burden of loss protection, to the one who stands to loose? Why is it that AIG, was not required to insure itself from loss. These are the experts on Insurance, it was made clear to all of us, late last year, that they were the only ones capable of understanding, the business that they did. When the buzz was they were to big to fail, that to let them fail would be catastrophic to our economy, why did the problem fall at the feet of the people? Rule number one is cover your own ass! Was this just a small point that had been overlooked? Their business is all about assessing the risk of loss, I wonder if there are any mirrors in there offices? If there are, did anyone ever take time to look? Perhaps the Inverse Square Law, can be put into play, in some abstract way. The law states, that for every foot a light source moves away from the subject it is illuminating, the amount of light needed to keep that illumination equal is squared. I think Applied Physics, along with some Higher Math, could lead us out of the darkness. All of these Financial Houses, Insurance Conglomerates, and the like operate, shrouded by shadow, not enough light to see in. We need to increase the lumens, we need to see what these guys are doing, that what they do, has value, that it benefits the people. Their profits well deserved, but really only a byproduct of,” Doing Good Business!”
