A blizzard of stories this week sends the men of Right Angle out into the deep drifts with kegs of brandy fastened to their collars to rescue those felled by the chill wind blowing across our land.

We have a friend who wanted to build the electric plant fueled by that perfect burn of garbage. He was stopped at every turn because the trash companies who own the dumps got in the way because they would no longer have those dumps. They contract with towns to take the trash to those places and would not give up those “rights” to trash.

Since all the Right Angle shows are just edits from the Backstage show, I forget to log in to BillWhittle.com other than Thursday (excepting today, which is solely to exercise my right of free speech.)

“Unloved children raging against society …”

The best example I’ve ever seen of this is Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Mugging Megs and Ginger Harry are doing exactly that.

I think Harry believes that his family and it’s ancillary caretakers killed his mom. Meghan Markle is just his foil for getting back at them for doing that. A very, very willing foil and a truly evil person for that willingness.

Harry’s dad, King Charles, married his mom, sired two children on her and then basically rejected her for another woman named Camilla Parker Bowles whom he was cheating on his wife Diana with while both Camilla Parker Bowles and Prince Chucky were still married to their respective previous spouses.

It’s hard to blame Diana Spencer for resenting being cuckolded and having the affection due her lavished on Prince Chuck’s “old friend” Camilla but that’s neither here nor there.

After their divorce Diana made some pretty poor choices in the company she kept as Lady Spencer and it would not surprise me a bit to learn Harry’s anger at his family is well founded. I would not put it past the Royals to have ‘arraigned’ Diana’s accidental death.

Americans generally see things like the British Royal Family and the British Monarchy as cute and quaint anachronisms. They are neither cute nor quaint and there are people loyal to that family in Great Britain and elsewhere that are fully capable of smoking an errant Princess and making it appear so much like an accident as to defy proof otherwise.

If I know this to be true, so does Harry Windsor. He can’t come right out and say this publicly without proof but knowing something and being able to prove it are two completely different matters.

All of this would have remained in the realm of a family indiscretion and a bit of skullduggerous sleight of hand had not a certain American actress come along and more than willingly slotted right into the revenge tool kit. A dark skinned baby begotten on a divorced American trollop with the last name Windsor in Windsor Castle was just icing on the cake for both Harry and Meggy. That hits much harder than the thing Diana was most likely killed for.

It takes two to tango and I’m not excusing Harry one iota but Meggy baby is the real spider in this web. She got herself a real Prince, sundered a Royal Family and is set for life making publications and media events about how terrible the Royal Family is. She set herself up as Queen Victim supported by her Loyal Husband Consort and is playing that tune for all it’s worth.

Harry is willingly and gladly helping her in that lifetime role because Harry thinks his family smoked his mom and there’s a very good chance Harry is probably right in thinking that.

I don’t like or care about any of these people but this is a great, obvious public lesson in the fact that when you say “I do” then do you should. If this sort of thing is going on in the scale of the British Royal Family imagine how many millions of other dysfunctional families this is also occurring in to a greater or lesser degree.

Especially among the wealthy elites here in America who have little to no morality in their lives to begin with.

If I were forced to provide service to someone I didn’t want to provide service for … I would demand an exorbitant payment up front, make them sign a release that they could not apply or ask for any sort of refund and do a HORRIBLE job. I would do such a horrible job that the ‘customer’ couldn’t use whatever it was that they contracted for. I would never let on that I had done anything but the best possible job and did my very best to meet that customer’s needs.

The reputation I built with that specific community would keep people in that community from trying to contract my services. If anyone outside that community said anything I’d tell them “That’s what I was willing to provide them then when they got it they didn’t want to pay for it”. Which would be true in an oblique manner because they got what I was willing to give them.

My point here is that you can make people do something under force of threat but you can’t make them do it well. The Soviet Union learned this lesson to its own detriment.

I can’t afford to fight a lawsuit or challange persecution by The State. Make me do something I don’t want to and what you’re going to get is unusable, utter garbage. I’m not going to make a public stand on my morality or my religious convictions, I’m going to take you for every penny I can get, or hopefully dissuade you from engaging my service by outpricing your budget, and make sure that you can’t use what I make and that I won’t be participating in your turpitude.

Same result, different approach and I’m not putting my piety on display to the general public and inviting people to crush me.

No doubt someone will think that is a dishonest thing to do. Forcing me under threat is even more dishonest so you’re going to get from me as good as you give and in spades.

notes as I go…
We need to separate items made ahead of time or listed for sale (so sandwiches, hamburgers, standard drinks) that can be sold without customization from the items made on contract or with or requiring customization. This would create a category for cakes, web sites, custom programs, play and movie scripts, and things that may or may not be “art” but can be classed as speech or compelled work.
some farms have been using methane for power for a while, though they get it from the manure decomposing to fertilzer
The math/science joke is there are 10 kinds of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don’t.
Regarding Steve’s mention of no existential threat… the Chinese are building their own space station, I keep reading.
To Scott’s comment to Bill’s topic – people with a depression or other issue that causes them to cut themselves sometimes say that is the only time they feel something.
Wooo WI is third worst on SSI processing. Our unemployment processing during the covid closedown was totally screwed. The computer system they were using is completely out of date and requires some paperwork filled out from the web site submission and then re-entering into another system.
Scott seems to describe an unfunded mandate by the feds telling the states what do to but not helping them do it.
Many of our support systems might be better off if they are just auditors of charity groups, and the money is provided right to the churches and social outreach groups that can match needs (someone needs a job, someone else needs help doing something) and instead of one massive organization resembling a warehouse of boxes, we instead have Glenn Renolds idea, an Army of Davids.

Regarding Bill’s comment about the mentalist and the video of Shakesphere not being the writer of his plays……
“Died Suddenly”. I watched it on YT. ‘Victrola’ induced Death Blood clots, etc. Ok, who’s going to produce a rebuttal, like “Lived Suddenly”? Is this a case of just a crafty video getting me to willfully suspend disbelief?
The odds are good that there are members with medical backgrounds who can lay waste to that movie and it’s premise that the vax, er, I mean…. “Victrolas” are making people around the world die suddenly.
