In the recent east coast snow storm dozens of people died from snow related heart attacks and accidents. However, there were also about a dozen deaths from carbon monoxide asphyxiation - and many of those took place inside cars..left running with snow blocking exhaust pipe...to keep occupants warm.

Business School 101 - first cheat, then lie, then improve your cheating software - corp biz as usualSubmitted by Jeff Buster on Fri, 12/11/2015 - 10:30.
Reuters reports that VW chairman Poetsch has discovered that only a "small number" of engineers was involved in designing and installing software in 11,000,000 vehicles - software designed to cheat emmissions testing and, as a result, damage our health. ( categories: )

POT FARM MONOPOLY - ISSUE 3Submitted by Jeff Buster on Tue, 11/03/2015 - 09:24.
Only in Ohio could we come up with this crap. No, not the legalization of use of marijuana, but rather providing a government monopoly to 10 farms in Ohio to grow the stuff - pot. Crazy. Read more here at the Washington Post First it's the phone monoplies, then the sports monopolies, then the casino monopolies and now the pot growers monopoly. ( categories: )
Syrian war - Migrants the most powerful weaponSubmitted by Jeff Buster on Sun, 11/01/2015 - 12:19.
The Syrian conflict has been going on for about four and a half years.
Immigration, refugees, aliens, migrants, asylum seekers…whatever we name them, the people who are fleeing Syria towards Europe are the only force which has been able to interest countries un-involved in the Syrian conflict in trying to help resolve the conflict in Syria.

Jeff Tyler reports on homelessness in Los Angeles - but doesn't post his email address on Marketplace from where he reportsSubmitted by Jeff Buster on Fri, 06/26/2015 - 18:04.
Homelessness is growing all over the country. In Cleveland, in NYC, in Boston, in Buffalo. The 1 % aggregating more $? After I heard Mr. Tyler on NPR radio this evening, I was impressed by his reportage and I thought it would strengthen Mr. Tyler's determination to report on the important issue of homelessness in the USA if I contacted him and explained Cleveland, Ohio's similar homelessness issues.

Waco makes me proud - USA Hurray!Submitted by Jeff Buster on Mon, 05/18/2015 - 19:09.
If the forensics are developed accurately, it will be interesting to find whose bullets killed the 9 bikers. Where the police have acknowledged they anticipated an issue at the Hooters,,,,I mean Twin Peeks ..... why didn't the police bring tear gas and foam spray instead of automatic weapons? Prediction: Most, if not all, of the 9 dead bikers were shot by police. Just sayin' Off the farm...

Amtrak over speed derailment - blame engineer or management?Submitted by Jeff Buster on Thu, 05/14/2015 - 08:53.
Should blame be allocated to the engineer? It was his job to keep the train at a safe speed. Right? Was there a back up engineer? How much blame goes to the back up engineer? ( categories: )

Sports TEAM LOYALTY freedom RESTORATION ACTSubmitted by Jeff Buster on Tue, 03/31/2015 - 21:43.
newS uPdate! CLEVELAND, OHIO March 31, 2015 Today the City of Cleveland Council voted a new freedom law into effect. No longer will any restaurant, bar, bus or taxi be forced to feed, intoxicate, transport or carry any person showing a TEAM insignia for any NON CLEVELAND sports club.
That is the law. This is not discrimination, but freedom to fully demonstrate an individual's team loyalty. Otherwise, how could loyal fans sleep at night?

Flight recorders should not be on the flight they record = dumb and dumberSubmitted by Jeff Buster on Wed, 03/25/2015 - 17:47.
Image; Voice recorder from GermanWings crash in French Alps. It seems quite crazy to carry the voice and data flight recorders on board the aircraft which is being recorded. GE uses satellites to capture all their jet engine operational data - engine temp, rpms, oil pressure, etc. etc.

OUR HEAT - killing on the other side of the globeSubmitted by Jeff Buster on Sat, 03/14/2015 - 12:18.
All fossil fuels = stored solar energy brought up from underground. Screw the global warming scientist and global warming deniers. We don't need them. All we need is our own observations: you mine coal (stored solar energy) and burn it, you are releasing the stored solar energy. HEAT ( categories: )
