Changing job skills, GM offers buyouts

The job skills are changing and schools are not reaching that goal!
As the kids today are going out in a world that changed on them!

And so it is starting! GM is starting to change for workers that 
have the know how to make cars with more technology.
So GM is buying out their workers as the changes go on.

Nothing stays the same. Stagnation is death! But for the educational systems
they need to get on the ball here because we are heading for a wall!

~~~~~ACT scores show many Oklahoma high school graduates not prepared 
for college-level courses.
Many of Oklahoma's 2018 high school graduates will struggle to pass first-year college courses based on their ACT scores.

Only 16 percent of Oklahoma students met all four college readiness benchmarks in English, mathematics, reading and science, while 43 percent met zero benchmarks.

The information was released Wednesday in ACT's annual report, "The Condition of College and Career Readiness 2018."

ACT research shows students who meet the college readiness benchmarks have a 75 percent chance of earning a C or higher and a 50 percent chance of earning a B or higher in a college-level course in that subject area.

~~~~~GM offers buyouts to 18,000 employees
Although the company did not announce the buyouts as part of its earnings report, CEO Mary Barra told investors that GM (GM) would be taking "steps to transform the workforce to ensure we have the right skill sets for today and the future while also driving significant efficiency."

GM has not disclosed the details of the offer, but typically it is a formula that offers a certain amount of weekly pay for every year of service.

GM and other automakers are making a major push to develop self-driving vehicle technology along with electric vehicles and ride sharing services. GM has created a separate company called Cruise for those efforts. The company expects to spend $1 billion on Cruise this year.

~~~~~America's persistent problem: Unskilled workers
America has millions of jobs openings -- more than any point since 2000.
On the surface, that's a good thing. It means employers are hiring and the economy is growing.

Deeper down though, a high number of job openings raises red flags because it means companies aren't finding the right people to fill the jobs. It signals a persistent problem in America's economy: the skills gap.

Vacant jobs can cost companies hundreds of dollars a day in lost profits, research shows, and ultimately the job skills gap hurts America's economic growth.

Jim Carrey Delivers Fiery Political Speech

Isn't it about time to be open about what is going on
and to note why you need to vote November to not tolerate
the xenophobia driving the ignorance we see today and vote
to get the balance back! 

"He took on the American right wing of its day and its worst evils: hatred of immigrants, contempt of the truth, greed, and the abuse of power. We are fighting those same evils today."

~~~~~Jim Carrey Delivers Fiery Political Speech During Los Angeles BAFTA Awards
Actor and comedian Jim Carrey usually saves his political musings for Twitter or his latest painting. This weekend, though, he voiced his views while accepting the Charlie Chaplin Award for Excellence in Comedy from the British Academy of Film and Television Arts in Los Angeles on Friday night.

“I’m glad it didn’t come in the mail,” Carrey joked about his award statue, referencing the recent slew of bombs sent in the mail to high-profile targets of President Donald Trump. “Maybe a little soon? It is my job to try. Yes, I no longer have packages delivered to my home in the great America that has been fashioned in the last couple of years.”

Much to the audience’s delight, Carrey then went full bore into a poignant, impassioned speech about the current political system.

“Almost half of America at this moment believes there is a sinister deep state diabolically plotting ... to what?” Carrey asked. “Give them health care?”

He praised his comedy hero, actor Charlie Chaplin, for the ingenious, subversive political commentary in his films.

With “Modern Times,” he criticized capitalism without a conscience, and that’s what we have now: capitalism without a conscience. He showed the common man being fed through years of brutal dehumanizing industrial age. He took on the American right wing of its day and its worst evils: hatred of immigrants, contempt of the truth, greed, and the abuse of power. We are fighting those same evils today.

Carrey went on to dedicate his award to people he believed to be true heroes ― a term the comedian says has been warped by reality TV ― Chaplin, former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele, professor Christine Blasey Ford and former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick.

“He’ll stand for the anthem when the anthem stands for him,” Carrey said of Kaepernick.

Carrey released a new painting Wednesday, depicting President Trump biting down on one of the pipe bombs discovered this week.

“Make no mistake, these terrorists were encouraged and emboldened by the hate speech of Donald Trump,” Carrey tweeted. “If you can’t see the clear menace of this man’s influence by now then you are a part of it.”

Today they tried to murder two Presidents as well as public servants and journalists. Make no mistake, these terrorists were encouraged and emboldened by the hate speech of Donald Trump. If you can’t see the clear menace of this man’s influence by now then you are a part of it. pic.twitter.com/L7kYcpcPKO

Climate models fail to predict air pressure shift above Greenland, Changes

There are changes in weather and so is the need to adapt to it.
Water levers are raising and so hurricanes are flooding worse.
Heat will rise also along with crops not doing well in 119 deg
weather in the south full of stupid hot! Global warming is a issue
to crops that makes a issue to us with no food to eat!

But as a warning we all should be noting the changes going on
and act accordingly!

~~~~~Climate models fail to predict air pressure shift above Greenland
"We think that the recent rapid warming over Greenland since the early 1990s is not being fully simulated by the models," said researcher Edward Hanna.

Climate models failed to predict air pressure changes measured in the atmosphere above Greenland over the last few decades. According to a new study, the failure undermines the reliability of climate models for regional predictions in the North Atlantic.

Over the last few decades, Greenland has experienced an increase in summertime air pressure, a phenomenon called "Greenland blocking." Climate models, however, predicted a slight decrease in air pressure during the same time period.

If air pressure continues to increase across Greenland, climate scientists think the British Isles are likely to experience an increase in summertime precipitation -- a likelihood missed by current climate models.

Scientists think North Atlantic climate predictions are underestimating the region's accelerate warming, as well as the impacts of Greenland's melting ice sheet on global sea level rise.

"While there is natural variability in the climate system, we think that the recent rapid warming over Greenland since the early 1990s is not being fully simulated by the models, and that this misrepresentation could mean that future changes in atmospheric circulation and the jet stream over the wider North Atlantic region may not be properly simulated," Hanna said.

Trump a New High-Water Mark: The Biggest Federal Deficit In 6 Years

As a point to get ready for more deficit from low taxes like it does
in the past over and over it is starting to go up again like expected.
It's like running America like a small town. 
It will have nothing like they have nothing!

Low taxes is a bad life! The poor does not pay much taxes and so
can't afford to buy a BMW to benefit from the low taxes.
And lacks help from the low taxes. It's about the lack of investment 
on the people, the labor force making unstable as they are on shaky 
ground and adapt accordingly cutting back their spending and
showing up to work in a homeless tired state.
https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2013/04/the-myth-of-low-tax-america-why-americans-arent-getting-their-moneys-worth/274945

So as it's going the tax cuts are starting to kick in and so is more debt and cutting 
back to make it. Tax cuts goes to the stock investors as they make more money than 
a worker. With a worker paying hardly any taxes suffers because the tax dollars to 
pay for food stamps help with rent and bills etc gets cut back to help the rich guy put 
gas in his SUV!

Oh well you can't make them not! Republicans can't learn if they don't fail.
The poor will just cut back their spending to make it. Low taxes is a lower life
and is ok for the poor they will just cut back as they might realize they never
need it anyway!

~~~~~Trump Hits A New High-Water Mark: The Biggest Federal Deficit In 6 Years
President Donald Trump likes to boast that he’s breaking records with the latest low unemployment figures. Here’s another record for his administration: The 2018 federal deficit hit the highest level of the last six years.

The deficit jumped 17 percent (or by $113 billion) to $779 billion at the end of Trump’s first fiscal year, according to final figures released Monday by the Treasury Department. That’s mostly due to the massive corporate tax cut that slashed rates from 35 percent to 21 percent, choking revenue for spending, which climbed 3 percent. Much of that was a hike in defense spending and money to pay interest on the climbing federal debt, CNN reported.

The U.S. government’s $523 billion in interest payments to service its debt in 2018 — the highest ever — was more than the entire economic output of Belgium this year, Bloomberg reported.

Corporate tax collections in the U.S. fell 22 percent, or $76 billion, in the fiscal year, which ended Sept. 30.

The total federal debt — which combines annual deficits — was 78 percent of the nation’s entire gross domestic product in June. It hasn’t been that large a percentage since World War II.

Trump promised the tax cuts would pay for themselves by boosting business, which would produce more taxes. But that hasn’t yet happened. The Trump administration estimates that the deficit will increase to $1.09 trillion in the next fiscal year.

The federal government usually increases spending — and deficits — to boost a faltering economy — such as during the 2008 recession triggered by the subprime mortgage and banking crisis. But the economy was already in a strong recovery when Trump moved into the White House, and he still boosted the deficit.

“By cutting taxes in 2017 when the economy was already quite strong, Congress and the administration not only missed a golden opportunity to begin to address the fiscal problem, they actually made the problem worse,” William Gale, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, told CBS News.

The GOP had traditionally been the party that battled for a balanced federal budget.

Crazy but that's ok!

Many things happened in my life and many loves.
Explosions, a helium tank tipping over hitting a pallet knocking of the head putting
a hole in the wall at the hotel I worked at. I also did a big roach imitation by walking
around in the banquet room with a big table on my back. (Relating to the video!)
I got hit by a car doing 45 mph with me 0 mph on my moped
making a left turn. I love a married Gypsy that accidentally ran me over.
I met before I met her along with my ex wife and ex girlfriend at Walmart that also
drove a truck in her past. (Like end of the video being ran over in love.)
Relating to the Gypsy love, I love! Strange and on a different plane!
We all where from the same point in another town at different times.
In the town I live in now we all where.

http://walmartramen.blogspot.com/2015/04/the-red-string-of-fate.html

Also in the 90's I dated a lady hair dresser that smoked weed and barfed 
on the first date taking me to a gay bar because it was her security being she 
testified against a biker gang in court and the guy threatened to kill her
in court!

I seen a guy set himself on fire in a car on a bridge. And a kid in class get kicked in 
the neck by a donkey. Rubber neck? Yes but we all where too young to know what 
happened. The teacher grabbed my arm and threw me so I couldn't see it. 
But I flew upside down scraping my head on the ground as I was wondering why 
his neck was bent. We all thought it was a magic trick! Too young to know!

I was given LSD or something when I was a kid 5+? by a homeless guy,
I saw the machine elves!

So as the video relating to love, crazy is not a bad thing as love heals all!

The Housewife Who Hid Her Lover In The Attic For Over A Decade

The note of this story is the need to be open with each other!
And so was the xenophobia / paranoia of the 1920's vs today!
https://group2histproj.weebly.com/xenophobia.html

Now in the 21st century there is a point to be brought up
and be open and fair to each other. besides Trump types pushing the
1930 again... Not going to happen! Polyamory, Polyandry, open marriage
is a form of therapy. In the case of Walburga “Dolly” Oesterreich being
bored with her husband (and their sex life) is just the result of something
higher a need she had, there is always more to just sex for anyone!
To heal to stabilize her from what it was in her life?

"A violent fight broke out between the Oesterreiches." Points to why she needed.
And so is ok to fix her need, not fixing her need makes her the prisoner.
And for the 1920's it was normal but now? NO! If this kind of thing happened
today without the xenophobia / paranoia they would of all sat down for that talk!
Or if her husband was xenophobia / paranoia she would divorce him than to
die in the relationship of unstable! It's better to accept the wife's needs!

With openness and acceptance of needs these things would of never ended bad!
All would of lived their short lives together in a open free time!!!!!!!!!!!!!

~~~~~The Housewife Who Hid Her Lover In The Attic For Over A Decade
What lengths would you go to keep your affair a secret? For one woman, the sex was so good, she decided to hide her lover in her own house.

In 1930, the LA Times published articles following the wild affairs of Walburga “Dolly” Oesterreich. Dolly married Fred Oesterreich, a wealthy apron manufacturer. From the outside, Dolly’s life was picture perfect. Unfortunately, things were pretty bad behind closed doors. Fred was a violent drinker and Dolly was miserable.

Everything changed for her in 1913.

In a move straight out of “The Graduate,” Dolly seduced her soon-to-be lover upon their first meeting. Bored with her husband (and their sex life), Dolly asked Fred to send a factory worker to their home to repair her sewing machine. When Otto Sanhuber, 19, showed up at the house, Dolly answered the door wearing nothing but a silk robe and tights. Call me crazy, but I think the sewing machine went untouched (if you know what I mean).

Dolly and Otto’s sexual affair would last over a decade. The pair met daily at hotels at the beginning of their relationship. After a while, they moved to the Oesterreich home. Neighbors began to notice and warned Fred of the affair. When confronted, Dolly claimed Otto was her “vagabond half brother.” To quell her husband and neighbors’ suspicions, Dolly came up with a plan: Move her lover into her attic.

Living there, with only a cot and a desk for furniture, wasn’t a far-fetched idea. Otto had no living family members and was a self-proclaimed “sex slave” to Dolly. According to the LA Times, Otto compared his relationship to Dolly to the bond between a mother and son.

Otto spent his time in the attic writing. He published tales of sex and murder under a pen name. Dolly assisted by submitting his stories to pulp magazines.

I know what you’re thinking: “How could Dolly’s husband not have heard this guy up in the attic for so long?” The truth is, Fred did hear noises. After five years, he thought a ghost haunted their home. Fred demanded they move to a new home in Los Angeles. Dolly agreed—as long as the new house had an attic, of course. Otto, upon Dolly’s request, went to Los Angeles early and settled in the new home’s attic before the married couple arrived. In this home, things took a dramatic turn.

In 1922—about 10 years after Otto moved in—a violent fight broke out between the Oesterreiches. Concerned for Dolly’s safety, Otto rushed downstairs with two of Fred’s rifles in hand. When Fred saw Dolly’s “half brother” in their new home, things clicked in his mind. Outraged, he rushed towards Otto, who in turn fired three rounds into Fred’s chest.

With Fred’s blood on their hands, Dolly and Otto thought of a plan: They would fake a robbery. Dolly hid in the closet and Otto locked her inside. He then took Fred’s watch and retreated to the attic. With Otto safely hidden, Dolly screamed for help.

The police believed her. The “stolen” watch validated her robbery claim, leaving them no reason to believe Dolly killed Fred. She decided to make a fresh start and moved to a new home nearby. Otto followed, continuing to live in the attic in order to keep their submissive-dominant relationship a secret.

Dolly then found love with her estate attorney, Herman Shapiro. As a token of her love, she gave Herman the “stolen” diamond watch that once belonged to Fred. Red flags rose for the new lover. Remembering Dolly’s robbery story, Herman asked how she got the watch. She claimed to have found it in a window seat cushion after Fred’s death, saying she didn’t feel the need to alert the police. That evening, she invited her third lover, Roy Klumb, over to dispose of the murder weapons in a tar pit.

In 1923, Dolly and Roy had a nasty breakup, which prompted him to tell the police about the watch and how he hid the guns. The police arrested Dolly, though they remained confused. How was she able to lock herself in the closet?

Because she wouldn’t be home during court hearings, Dolly had asked Herman to bring food to her “half brother,” who was staying in her attic. Excited to see another person for the first time in over 10 years, Otto told Herman all about his sexual affair. Things began to click in Herman’s mind: Otto was the one who helped Dolly kill her husband. Herman kicked Otto out of the house and he fled to Canada.

The court didn’t convict Dolly, and Herman kept Otto’s confession secret. But once Herman and Dolly broke up in 1930, he let the cat out of the bag. Coincidentally, Otto had moved back to Los Angeles. He and Dolly were arrested immediately.

Paparazzi followed the couple as if they were celebrities. The LA Times covered the case in full detail, nicknaming it the “Bat Man” case, a nod to Otto’s cave-like dwelling. Mind you, this was about ten years before the Batman comics were published.

The couple’s zany story blew people’s minds. How could a Midwestern housewife cause a whirlwind of drama and make the front-page news for eight years running?

Unfortunately, the results of the case were not as compelling as the public hoped. The jury found Otto guilty of manslaughter, but the statue of limitations for the offense was only seven years. Because eight years had passed since the crime, Otto and Dolly were free to go.

Dolly ended up marrying a man she had dated for 30 years. Otto ran away from Los Angeles and never came back. The stranger-than-fiction affair inspired two films, including one starring Neil Patrick Harris.

Obamacare premiums will get cheaper for the first time, Sustainable!

The cost of ObamaCare is going down. It is a sustainable long term system
worth the investment on it. Things are looking to be more blue in a few
years. And to note there are too many people on ObamaCare to take it away.
And many do not want to unhealth the labor force with sickly workers with 
no insurance. Workers not having insurance is a issue! It's best to not have
homemade healthcare in the workplace or anywhere!

~~~~~"Premiums are going down because insurers overshot with premium increases this year that were too high," Larry Levitt, senior vice president for health reform at the Kaiser Family Foundation, said on Twitter. “Premiums would be even lower if not for repeal of the individual mandate penalty and expansion of short-term plans.”

Other administration moves most likely contributed to the premium decrease, however, including approving state plans to stabilize their markets.
