   Since I’m guessing there was no notice published in a newspaper of general circulation before 3 January 2023, I recommend making this meeting a simple meet-and-greet, come-sign-the-affiliate-petition kind of event. We can do the actual affiliate-creation event at the February meetup (I can place the notice in the ABQ Journal on Tuesday, 24 January).

   I’ll publish the notice for 21 February — if we don’t need it, I’m out about 50 bucks. If I do it and we do need it, we’re covered. If I don’t do it and we do need it . . . .

   Instead of the State of New Mexico creating more legalized vote-buying scams and calling them “mental health care,” why doesn’t the State charter a 501-c-3 type non-profit for that cause, and forbid that organization from lobbying the Legislature for ANYTHING, and also forbid that organization from accepting tax FRNs from ANY source?

   Either that, or he got recalled to Zeta Reticuli to be replaced by another lizard-person.

   Where exactly in the U.S. Constitution is federal funding for school lunches, health care, etc. authorized? Where in Article I, Section 8?

   I wasn’t aware that “Social Security” and Medicare were actually explosive devices instead of bloated, deficit-raising, legalized vote-buying scams, but whatever.

NOTES FROM LIFE, ETC.

1. Had a brief chance encounter with Maggie Shepard (of the LP Mises Caucus, FLPNM, etc.) on the sales floor of the store today.
2. Picked up a #1 seafood boil combo (1 lb crawfish, 1 lb shrimp, 1/2 lb sausage, 2 x red potatoes, 2 x corn on the cob (~ 1/3 of an ear each) for a late dinner at the Cottonwood Storming Crab [10041 Coors NW in Albuquerque] — ∅33.39 was the bill^[1].

   Everything was delicious, and they give you enough for two meals. Still, getting the meat out of the crawfish was a pain (no crawfish next time!), it was a bit pricey (∅33.39 for the package, and they give it to you in a plastic bag — no styrofoam to-go boxes — almost like you’re taking out the trash.

   Part of it is Frank is starting from scratch (sort of).

   Part of it is Frank is trying to micro-manage things, which hardly ever goes well.

   The same is true for Democrats.

   What I find insane and idiotic are the people who want to give the Political Classholes more power and money even after knowing this.
