TRANSPLANTS: Some thoughts

I have no problems with thousands moving to Idaho. Nor do I care if they identify as a member of the GOP. What I refuse to believe is anyone is focused on trumping socialism.

When I read editorials about numbers, I like to evaluate the reporter’s college degree or military experience. I’ve noticed the deeper someone’s knowledge of numbers or the subject, the broader the meaning their words tends to be. If the college degree isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on, anything they print will sound just like a bold body count in a never ending war.

I was recently barraged with stories about the transplant’s agenda. Note to self. If I ever decide to overthrow the U.S., don’t constantly post my moving habits or opinions on Facebook.

Next to Los Angeles, the city of Eagle is the largest recipient of California’s pension funds. (Thousands of people, spending much of their lives in the public sector and relying on that state’s bank account to remain solvent to stay alive.)

Can you take a guess who the biggest employer is in our state? It’s the damn state itself. Followed by it’s always growing health care provider and their nonprofit industrial complex.

Then there’s Walmart. I know you all never shop there because you might have to self checkout or talk to someone collecting food stamps… I hope for your sake dear transplants, those years in California taught you something about beating the system. You’re gonna need it!
