George Noory Sucks! - The Definitive Compendium

[PB the Deplorable]

Yes.  People actually sometimes have to move when getting new jobs.  Especially in Ian's case as he could no longer work in radio on air.  It's one of the routine parts of capitalism.

If you weren't locked up in an institution for the mentally hopeless and deranged, you might be aware of this.

Or it could be that Ian's just a selfish narcissist, like, you know, George Noory and Art Bell.  I think he mostly likes being a professional student - remember when he just had to go to seminary school? - and also enjoys filling his days yapping at a captive audience (preacher, radio show host, now he's an 'educator'). 

He couldn't find a college near home, where his wife had a following on her radio show, no it had to be a the fabled ''Walter Cronkite School of News Reading'' in Arizona?  Now he's playing jr professor in Podunk?

She should have signed him up for the local community college, packed him a lunch every day, given him his allowance, and sent him off.  He could have taken all the classes he wanted and spent his days arguing with the professors.

By the way, how did moving for work become an indicator of 'capitalism'?  That's an odd comment even for you.

Going back a few nights, I was enjoying the John Barbour interview.  I did not find it offensive in any manner.  I am only offended in Norry cutting my listening enjoyment short.  That makes me uncomfortable.

1.If it isn't a concern of his wife's, why is it any of your business?

2.He earned a PhD at the University in Arizona, I don't believe you can do that in a community college.  I don't know why he couldn't go to a university in Minnesota to get his doctorate but I don't think you have any idea why either.  So, how about finding out the facts first before spouting off and suggesting to other people how they live their lives?

3.I don't know how a radio show host has a captive audience.  It wouldn't surprise me if you're too stupid to have ever noticed, but there's a little dial on the radio where you can change the station.  (Like in another of my posts, 'dial' is justa shorthand.)

4.Nice to see you suddenly become a feminist and be concerned about husband's relations with wives.

1.If it isn't a concern of his wife's, why is it any of your business?...

I just feel bad for her, that's all. 

If none of this is anyone's concern, why am I hearing about it on the radio?  Using your logic, why are my posts your business?

Ivana Trump swore an affidavit that Donald committed statutory rape against her.  Though she later recanted, her recant statement makes absolutely no sense.  She also was granted a divorce from him on the grounds of his "cruel and inhuman treatment of her."

Yet, you're planning to vote for this piece of shit.

I also don't believe you give a rat's ass about Ian Punnet's wife.  I've longed established that you lie that you care about things in order to go after other things that you don't like.

He hasn't earned it yet.  He's working on his dissertation on - wait for it - true crime, lol.

For the second part, I think I DO have an idea why it had to be the WALTER CRONKITE school of whatever.  He thinks it sounds impressive.  He's certainly been sure to emphasize that, and not the U of A part, in every Coast appearance.

Actually it's not at all.  that you don't understand it shows that you don't actually understand one of the main arguments between capitalism and communism.

Communism promised everybody a job for life where you could live in the same city and even house if you wanted to for your entire adult life.  Of course, the downside was no innovation, no improved quality of life and no opportunity to advance in any real way.

Capitalism, especially the capitalism practiced in the United States, makes no promises but provides incentives for people to take risks, innovate and advance.  With no industry protected from advancement, some towns, especially one industry towns die out (ghost towns) and the people who used to work in those towns have to move. 

That isn't the case with Ian Punnet, but I never claimed it was.

Well, at least you're paying attention to my posts.  That's a good start for you.

For every ex-wife who's made claims about Trump and recanted them, I can offer 10 women who've been attacked by Bill Clinton - and I don't think anyone even doubts their claims, the Media just moves along.  Are you planning to vote to put that piece of shit back in the White House?

1.True.  His dissertation is actually on media coverage of true crime.

2.Ian Punnet likes to joke around (I know you can't tell the difference between what is and isn't a joke.)  I think he finds that amusing.  However, if he did go there because of the title, he'd hardly be the first person to go to a specific university in the belief that that would enhance his job opportunities.  And, given that he's already got a job (part time or not), that may have been a factor.

However, there could have been a number of reasons why he chose to go there.  For one thing, it's possible that University was the only one to have the PhD program that he wanted.

1.I pay attention to your posts because I find your extreme stupidity amusing.

2.I wasn't aware Bill Clinton was running for President again.

It's Hillary Clinton who is running for President, but you want her husband's alleged activities to be held against her.  I think we're going to have to take away your 'welcome to feminism' door mat.

I admit it's difficult when Ian's the one making the jokes.  Aren't they usually dreadful puns or some such though?

What part don't you understand?  If you want a society where nobody has to move because their job has been eliminated and they can't find another job where they're living (or they've been offered another job somewhere else) you'd better advocate the United States adopt communism because one of the main attractions to some people of communism is that it offers lifelong stability.

In a capitalist society, people lose their jobs and have to go elsewhere to find new employment all the time.  Although Ian Punnet was not fired, he was unable to hold his radio show job due to his physical health issues and was later offered a job in Ohio.  This created he and his wife having to choose if they wanted to live together between he turning down this job offer and staying with her in Minnesota and her quitting her job in Minnesota and moving with him to Ohio.

If you weren't living in the home for the mentally hopeless, you'd know this type of decision between couples has to be made all the time.

So if someone likes Bill, play to that.  If someone recalls his corrupt scandal-a-day administration, then they're a sexist if it's brought up.  Sounds like a plan

[PB the Deplorable]

The part where you want to write a wall of text on this.  Twice.

That's a reasonably fair point. But while Bill Clinton was the President, she's making more of a point that she would follow the successful Democratic economic policies of that administration, whose President just happened to be her husband.

His administration was not a scandal a day or anywhere near close to that.  I think you're confusing the administration with Donald Trump, of whom reporters are now uncovering roughly one new scandal a day.

[136 or 142]

I think it's pretty clear.  The concept of 'dynamic capitalism' is certainly not a concept I originated.  And the idea that one of the costs of living in a 'dynamic capitalist' society is the need for people to move when the jobs in an area dry up.  I think I explained it quite clearly as well.  Your inability to understand what I've written I think is the problem of your extreme stupidity.

Hey, if we're about to have a new industrial revolution in a number of very significant areas while she happens to be president, I'm all for it.  Maybe her VP can invent the equivalent of the next internet.

Communications, software, computing and computerized devices, bio-tech, digitalization, good times.  Can you point to what exactly Bill Clinton had to do with any of that, other than having been elected while it was going on?

On the foreign policy front, I'm also curious about what specifically Bill did that the Soviet empire was no longer around and China and Islamic terror hadn't yet risen during his years in office. 

I mean he claims peace and prosperity were due to his policies - and apparently you believe at least the economic portion of that, I can't think of a better person than you to ask what those were specifically.  Convince me the Clintons are anything other than disgusting dishonest corrupt scandal-ridden greedy pigs

If you go back to the Industrial Revolution there have been major technological advancements around the world, including in the United States, ever since then.  Yet, the rate of economic growth under Bill Clinton has been the best since the 1970s.

http://www.usnews.com/news/blogs/data-mine/2015/10/28/which-presidents-have-been-best-for-the-economy

You have no trouble crediting Ronald Reagan for the growth in the 1980s (though it was less than the growth under Clinton.)  I certainly agree a number of Reagan's policies helped advance growth (and income inequality) but his Presidency also was the time when use of the personal computer became widespread.  This led to wholesale changes in all sorts of industries and drove many input costs down.  Of course, I'm not claiming that all administrations had equal technological advancements, but I don't actually know how significant the technological advancements during the Clinton Presidency were relative to other Presidents.  I think a bigger factor was the so-called 'Goldilocks economy' that the economy grew around much of the world quite significantly while resource prices remained low.  I remember this very well, because my province of British Columbia was especially dependent on selling resources at that time and we were one of the few places in the world that may have actually been in a recession in the late 1990s.

Odd how you hyper-partisan Republican idiots never mention that about the Reagan Administration.

I don't know much about the 'peace' part, you should ask Value of Pi about that, other than Communism in the Soviet Union actually collapsed while George H W Bush was President, but in regards to the prosperity part, there are a number of macro economic fiscal policies that played a role, cutting the deficit in the 1993 budget which most but not all economists believe stabilized the bond market which led to a reduction in long term interest rates, some of the changes in bond purchases that Robert Rubin instituted, greatly increased investments in infrastructure....

I could explain all this to you, and there is more, but since you can't even understand how a capitalist economy requires people to relocate much more than in a communist economy, I'm sure you're far too stupid to understand any economic discussion.

... Odd how you hyper-partisan Republican idiots never mention that about the Reagan Administration...

Wait, what's the question?  I don't think a president is in charge of resource prices, or other countries either for that matter.

Let me help you out - the government doesn't 'run' the economy, individuals and businesses do.  The only thing the government can do is get in the way or get out of the way.  Under Reagan's policies, the government got out of the way significantly by lowering the taxes on investment returns and cutting regulations, which put it on a course of growth that lasted 20-some years.  Clinton didn't do any of that, but to his credit (and the Republican Congresses) also didn't add to the burden.  I don't feel like getting into the details of it any more than that, it's a waste of my time explaining this to you

The part about the Reagan Administration was that this Presidency occurred during the time of the personal computer revolution.

I never once wrote that the government 'runs' the economy.  Nice strawman, but it allowed you to bring up all the fiscal policy supply side cliches.

Lowering taxes on investments can also cause bubbles and cutting or raising regulations can be beneficial depending on the 'equimarginal principle.'  Unfortunately, this principle, like the so-called Laffer Curve (which actually didn't explain anything that wasn't already known), is pretty much impossible to measure in advance.  So, it's useful to understand the theory, but it doesn't help beyond that.

I'm sure this is way above your non-existent brain, but others here may be interested.
