Wha – – – ?

She and I live on different planets. (Admittedly, the same can be said for Hillary Clinton and myself.)

I’m sure we do not have the same life experiences. Maybe there’s a Straight Line of the Day in that. See April 26.)

Matchbox

Has anyone ever come up with an explanation of what this Carl Perkins song was all about?

If it weren’t for the Beatles cover, I never would have heard it.

I said I’m sittin’ here watchin’
Matchbox hole in my clothes
I said I’m sittin’ here wonderin’
Matchbox hole in my clothes
I ain’t got no matches but I sure
Got a long way to go

I’m an ole poor boy, and I’m a
Long way from home
I’m an ole poor boy, and I’m a
Long way from home
I’ve never been happy cause everything I
Ever did was wrong

Well, if you don’t want my peaches, honey
Please don’t shake my tree
If you don’t want any of those peaches honey
Please don’t mess around my tree
I got news for you baby
Leave me here in misery

Alright!

Straight Line of the Day: What Did You Believe About Money That Turned Out To Be Wrong?

What You Know About Money Is ALL Wrong

“Banking is slightly illegal,” says world-renowned economist Richard Werner, who is leading the charge against CBDCs. In this episode of “The Glenn Beck Podcast,” Richard teaches Glenn that “banks don’t take deposits, and banks don’t lend money.”

That begs the question, “What do banks actually do?” This discussion may make you realize that all you think you know about money is wrong.

That’s not all we don’t know about the economy. We also have no clue which banks make up the Federal Reserve, who created Bitcoin, or the real relationship between inflation and interest rates. But we do know that COVID-19 revealed a global concentration of power and probably paved the way for what the total dictators of old could have only dreamt of: CBDC. Before the appeal of Universal Basic Income lures you into implanting a chip under your skin, it may be time to consider whether or not America should follow the China-inspired path to one central bank. Perhaps, it’s time to consider what Glenn says about the central planners of our economy: “You’re in Vegas, and the house always wins.”
