In a land of plenty, or what was once so plentiful that the government paid it's farmers to not plant food, has now been reduced to a nation of would that we could produce enough. In a land that produces more millionaires and billionaires than any other country in the world, the number of homeless, unemployed and those who can barely make ends meet to those who are just living from paycheck to paycheck, is totally staggering. Welcome to the U.S.A.
Twice the Gov't has shut down, and each time they did so the latter time exceeded the other in the length of days the Federal government stayed closed. Unknown to the general public another shut down is already scheduled for the month of July, and plans to contain mass chaos are already in place as banks are already expected to be included in this shut down, can someone say conspiracy?
With too much manipulation of natural resources by the greedy without regards to the needy,paradise is beginning to resemble dystopia. Now all across the nation in almost every state, a form of lottery was introduced under the disguise that the proceeds would go towards the educational systems of those states.
In the mean while the educational system is in a downward spiral which just happened to start at the abolishment of prayer in schools and the banning of bibles in the said institutions. Most urban areas i.e. - inner cities mostly populated by minorities do not receive an equal share of the proceeds of these lotteries.
New York City's five boroughs, for instance bring in an inordinate amount of cash, almost two thirds of the total monies brought into the state yet these five boroughs sparsely receive an equal share of state monies to support inner city students whose parents while struggling under the weight of City, State and Federal taxes must also fund mandated programs the autocracy of the city's Board of Education mandates for their children out of their own pockets.
Another big rip-off by the States gaming people is the states poker scratch off games. Why is it when the champion's hand has only four of a kind, i.e. four spades for example, he wins but if he has only three of a kind and I do have four of a kind I am not the winner? or he [the champion] has a a 4 and a 2 and when I go to the community cards one of my players may have a jack and 9 in his hand and the same cards in the community but I still don't win? It's a damned scam by the ultimate ripoff artist.
On the back of the cards, there is a list of possible winning hands. Top of the list is the royal flush, Ace, King, Queen, Jack, 10, of the same kind i.e. clubs. Next is straight flush, 2,3,4,5,6,7.of the same kind, i.e.hearts. Next up is four of a kind as in four 7's, followed by full house, i.e. three 10's and two 3's. then there is 'flush' numbers and a face card of the same suite spades or diamonds etc. Behind this comes straight, i.e. 6,7,8,9,10. no matter if they're spades mixed with hearts, clubs diamonds and spades. this is followed by three of a kind, followed by two pairs and lastly one pair.
In one game the champion has King hearts and Queen spades, the community cards are 10 diamond, Jack spade, 2 spade, Queen heart and 3 clubs. With community cards the champion has a pair of queens, or queen jack and 2 of spades, player #1 has 4 clubs and 5 spades combined with 2 and 3 from community cards far exceed the one pair of queens from the champions hand, of course player one was not awarded the prize, as yep, a ripoff from the gamers.
This paradise is fast becoming a living hell on earth. As all great kingdoms in and throughout history have risen and fallen, so too will this monolithic conglomerate that has overfed itself at the expense of those who have borne it's weight for far too long. Now destined to swallow itself and dissolve into a black hole and fade from the memory of mankind. And so dear friends until next time, live well, be happy, make love, we bid you Peace.
