Analyst Paralysis / Dew Points / Trumps March to the Sea

Just a photo

I was a systems analyst for the Health and Family Services for 25 years.  Every 6 or 7 years a shiny new business model was introduced that would make our lives easier and everything more wonderful.  It happened like clockwork.

The people in charge would get all excited because they were the ones that would make things more efficient.

So we would all stop pumping out reports and correcting issues and moving forward with computer programs and  would attend meetings and learn the new way of doing things.   Then, like clockwork everything would come to a stop as we would fill out redundant questioners attend more meetings and NOTHING WOULD GET DONE LITERALLY . . . . FOR YEARS!

We would analyse and analyse and analyse to make sure nothing would escape our grasp of knowledge and then TWO MORE YEARS of analyzing and charts and error checking would follow with not one speck of code being written.

By this time it would be too late to abandon the project as it would make the people that decided this was a good thing look bad.  Even though after 4 years the project still had not one line of code being processed.  It was only after the people in charge were given a raise and put into a higher position that  the new people would come in and scrap the idea.

I feel this is what the School Board and School System is doing. They are so afraid of making a mistake that nothing is getting done on what REALLY matters.

I did not attend the latest public school board meeting because it seemed to me it would be a waste of time.  From the sound of it . . it was.   Analyst  Paralysis persists.

Trumps March to the Sea.

I can see what Trump is doing.  It is like Sherman's March to the Sea.  In the 2nd American Civil War (the first was the Revolutionary War) Sherman burned EVERYTHING he could see in his wake.  He wanted to make war a living hell so the south would never ever think about war again.

This is what Trump is doing.  He is taking children from mothers and fathers so that Mexicans will not even think about coming to the US (they are nothing but rapists anyway you know).

Immigration has been on a yo-yo.  With the GOP is in charge immigration slows and when DNC is in charge immigration grows.  This time it is different.  It's cruel, inhumane and the punishment does not fit the crime.  We are a nation of immigrants. Our own family's came to America to flee the old world for many reasons.

F*ck You Trump and all your racist groupies. I respect REAL Republicans, I might not agree with many of  their ideals but I respected them.  I have no respect for Trump and his followers as they hide their heads in the sand listening to Fox Fake News.

The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. 

It was their final, most essential command 

---- George Orwell  1984 

90% of Democrat's, 70% of Independents are against separating children  but, 58% of Republicans are all for separating families from the children.  They are only children you know, who cares. 

You do know SuperMax prisoners have a larger room then the children in cages , oh sorry, officially they are "pens".  But the children do get 2 hours of outside time a day.

America is actually 11 separate nations all with totally different cultures.

"We" are in Yankeedom -  "Residents in these states, founded by Puritans, are more comfortable with government regulation than people in other regions. They also value education, citizen participation in government, and the assimilation of outsiders "

Yankeedom has, since the outset, put great emphasis on perfecting earthly civilization through social engineering, denial of self for the common good, and assimilation of outsiders,"

YUP.

OK - let's talk dew points!   Last night a talking head on TV said Janesville had a dew point of 79 degrees. This is UNHEARD of high and he said this literally could have been one of the highest dew points on earth at that time.  WRONG!!

Moorhead Minnesota actually holds the record dew point America, June 19 2011 they hit and AMAZING dew point of 88 degrees.  HOLE SHIT!!   Remember - oppressive begins in the 67 range.  ALTHOUGH the highest unsubstantiated recorded dew point is from Appleton WI at 90 degrees July 13 1995

Oddly the upper Midwest has the worst dew points in america. You would think southern states would have the worst. It truly IS a question that is still unanswered. One theory is that torrid dew points typically occur after heavy rain storms when the ground is saturated and that happens up here!

BUT wait - what is the WORST in the world?  July 8th 2003.  Dhahran 95 degrees. The heat index that day?  178  (One hundred seventy eight).
