Everett in 1964
(year of 34th birthday)
Sources used for this biographical sketch include papers of Hugh Everett, III stored in the Niels Bohr Library of the American Institute of Physics; Graduate Alumni Files in Seeley G. Mudd Manuscript Library, Princeton University; personal correspondence of the author; and information found on the Internet. The author is deeply indebted to Kenneth Ford for great assistance in polishing (often rewriting!) the English and for valuable editorial remarks and additions.
He is indebted also to Max Tegmark for posting this Web version. Thanks to Adam Ford for HTML formatting.
If you want to get an interesting perspective do not think of Hugh as a traditional 20th century physicist but more of a Renaissance man with interests and skills in many different areas. He was smart and lots of things interested him and he brought the same general conceptual methodology to solve them. The subject matter was not so important as the solution ideas.
Donald Reisler
Someone once noted that Hugh Everett should have been declared a "national resource," and given all the time and resources he needed to develop new theories.

Here’s what four tower blocks containing hundreds of apartments on the edge of Liverpool city centre could look like.
The Freemasons scheme by developer Vinco Group, which includes what the developer calls “cascading greenery hanging gardens”, was approved by planners yesterday.
And Vinco says work could start on the site off Leeds Street later this year.
Freemasons would include four 16-storey residential tower blocks set around three landscaped courtyards.
The blocks would be built on the former John Sutch Cranes site at Freemasons Row.
They would include 656 residential units, including 1-3 bed apartments, two-bed townhouses and studio flats. Vinco hopes the flats “will appeal to both first time buyers and professionals”.
The towers have been designed by Falconer Chester Hall and Vinco says the concrete and glass facades will have a “light and fresh structure enhanced by a lantern effect to the upper floors of each of the towers”.
And Vinco added: “Between each block there will be a communal garden on the ninth floor creating an open communal space and with cascading greenery hanging gardens.”
Chris Boles, senior project manager for Vinco, said: “Our team has worked hard to ensure that that the scheme delivers an impressive new development which provides a significant number of high-quality residential apartments in an up-and-coming area of the city.
“Liverpool’s planning committee has a great approach in welcoming innovative design which will enhance the city scape and deliver much needed residential accommodation.”
The development sits down the road from the Elliot Group’s planned “triple towers” scheme.
* Meanwhile developer YPG has won permission to build 114 apartments at part of the old Rapid Hardware site in Renshaw Street. The original facade will be kept and a seven-storey block built behind.
YPG managing director Ming Yeung said: “The proposed use will not only further the economic development of the area by bringing an active use to a currently vacant site but will also enhance the living environment of the immediate and surrounding area.”

After a while the faces of the watching men lost their bemused perplexity and became hard and angry and resistant. Then the women knew that they were safe and that there was no break.
John Steinbeck, The Grapes of Wrath, loc. 57-59
And when that crop grew, and was harvested, no man had crumbled a hot clod in his fingers and let the earth sift past his fingertips. No man had touched the seed, or lusted for the growth. Men ate what they had not raised, had no connection with the bread. The land bore under iron, and under iron gradually died; for it was not loved or hated, it had no prayers or curses.
John Steinbeck, The Grapes of Wrath, pg. 11, loc. 732-736
The tenant pondered. "Funny thing how it is. If a man owns a little property, that property is him, it's part of him, and it's like him. If he owns property only so he can walk on it and handle it and be sad when it isn't doing well, and feel fine when the rain falls on it, that property is him, and some way he's bigger because he owns it. Even if he isn't successful he's big with his property. That is so." And the tenant pondered more. "But let a man get property he doesn't see, or can't take time to get his fingers in, or can't be there to walk on it-why, then the property is the man. He can't do what he wants, he can't think what he wants. The property is the man, stronger than he is. And he is small, not big. Only his possessions are big-and he's the servant of his property. That is so, too."
John Steinbeck, The Grapes of Wrath, pg. 12, loc. 756-764
"That's so," the tenant said. "Who gave you orders? I'll go after him. He's the one to kill."

If on'y they didn't tell me I got to get off, why, I'd prob'y be in California right now a-eatin' grapes an' a-pickin' an orange when I wanted. But them sons-a-bitches says I got to get off-an', Jesus Christ, a man can't, when he's tol' to!"

Had he not been fifty years old, and so one of the natural rulers of the family, Uncle John would have preferred not to sit in the honor place beside the driver. He would have liked Rose of Sharon to sit there. This was impossible, because she was young and a woman.
John Steinbeck, The Grapes of Wrath, pg. 51, loc. 2037-2039
Carbon is not a man, nor salt nor water nor calcium. He is all these, but he is much more, much more; and the land is so much more than its analysis. The man who is more than his chemistry, walking on the earth, turning his plow point for a stone, dropping his handles to slide over an outcropping, kneeling in the earth to eat his lunch; that man who is more than his elements knows the land that is more than its analysis.
John Steinbeck, The Grapes of Wrath, pg. 65, loc. 2495-2498
But the machine man, driving a dead tractor on land he does not know and love, understands only chemistry; and he is contemptuous of the land and of himself. When the corrugated iron doors are shut, he goes home, and his home is not the land.

HIGHWAY 66 IS THE main migrant road. 66-the long concrete path across the country, waving gently up and down on the map, from the Mississippi to Bakersfield-over the red lands and the gray lands, twisting up into the mountains, crossing the Divide and down into the bright and terrible desert, and across the desert to the mountains again, and into the rich California valleys.
John Steinbeck, The Grapes of Wrath, pg. 66, loc. 2524-2527
[They] reassure themselves that business is noble and not the curious ritualized thievery they know it is; that business men are intelligent in spite of the records of their stupidity; that they are kind and charitable in spite of the principles of sound business; that their lives are rich instead of the thin tiresome routines they know; and that a time is coming when they will not be afraid any more.
John Steinbeck, The Grapes of Wrath, pg. 91, loc. 3411-3414
The nickel, which has caused all this mechanism to work, has caused Crosby to sing and an orchestra to play - this nickel drops from between the contact points into the box where the profits go. The nickel, unlike most money, has actually done a job of work, has been physically responsible for a reaction.

"Look," the young man said. "S'pose you got a job a work, an' there's jus' one fella wants the job. You got to pay 'im what he asts. But s'pose they's a hunderd men." He put down his tool. His eyes hardened and his voice sharpened. "S'pose they's a hunderd men wants that job. S'pose them men got kids, an' them kids is hungry. S'pose a lousy dime'll buy a box a mush for them kids. S'pose a nickel'll buy at leas' somepin for them kids. An' you got a hunderd men. Jus' offer 'em a nickel-why, they'll kill each other fightin' for that nickel. Know what they was payin' las' job I had? Fifteen cents an hour. Ten hours for a dollar an' a half, an' ya can't stay on the place. Got to burn gasoline gettin' there." He was panting with anger, and his eyes blazed with hate. "That's why them han'bills was out. You can print a hell of a lot of han'bills with what ya save payin' fifteen cents an hour for fiel' work."
John Steinbeck, The Grapes of Wrath, pg. 155, loc. 5657-5665
Tom said, "Sure. Casy said, 'You got no right to starve people.' An' then this heavy fella called him a red son-of-a-bitch. An' Casy says, 'You don' know what you're a-doin'.' An' then this guy smashed 'im."
John Steinbeck, The Grapes of Wrath, pg. 260, loc. 9512-9514

He was quiet for a long time. "I been thinkin' how it was in that gov'ment camp, how our folks took care a theirselves, an' if they was a fight they fixed it theirself; an' they wasn't no cops wagglin' their guns, but they was better order than them cops ever give. I been a-wonderin' why we can't do that all over. Throw out the cops that ain't our people. All work together for our own thing-all farm our own lan'."

"I know. I never even see it, thinkin' how the willow's los' its leaves now. Sometimes figgerin' to mend that hole in the south fence. Funny! Woman takin' over the fambly. Woman sayin' we'll do this here, an' we'll go there. An' I don' even care."

"Woman can change better'n a man," Ma said soothingly. "Woman got all her life in her arms. Man got it all in his head. Don' you mind. Maybe-well, maybe nex' year we can get a place."
John Steinbeck, The Grapes of Wrath, pg. 282, loc. 10341-10343
I noticed that. Man, he lives in jerks - baby born an' a man dies, an' that's a jerk - gets a farm an' loses his farm, an' that's a jerk. Woman, it's all one flow, like a stream, little eddies, little waterfalls, but the river, it goes right on. Woman looks at it like that.
John Steinbeck, The Grapes of Wrath, pg. 283, loc. 10347-10349
The rain began with gusty showers, pauses and downpours; and then gradually it settled to a single tempo, small drops and a steady beat, rain that was gray to see through, rain that cut midday light to evening.

Lakeside Lodge - Lodge Course - 09/11/17
A longish drive on the 1st left me in the rough just off the fairway. My 4-iron out wasn't bad, but the next 4-iron was enormous at just under 160 yards, leaving me a 25 yard pitch to the green for 4. The putt was longish and I needed a second for a nett par 6.
Another good drive on the 2nd stayed out of trouble. My 7-iron wasn't so good, skewing left and stopping short of the bunker. It should have made the green. I then pitched badly and needed to putt on from the front of the green, followed by two more putts for a nett bogey 6. It should have been two shots better than that.
After a reasonable drive on the 4th, and a well-judged 6-iron short of the lake, I then pushed a 7-iron shot right, the ball hitting a tree on the bank and ricocheting sharp right out-of-bounds. I took a penalty, and another shot, this time placing the ball about 25 yards short of the green. A pitch on and one putt gave me a nett bogey 7, including the penalty stroke for the OOB shot.
Once again I took the driver on the short 5th, and again I made the green. And again I three-putted, this time for a nett par 4.
My drive was good for direction on the 6th, where I often go left, but not too long. I then pulled a 5-iron left to just short of the bunker. A fluffed chip left me with another chip on, and then two putts for a nett bogey 6. Another wasted shot.
The 7th was really the only hole where I feel I made a real mess of things. The drive went right and I tried to loft a 5-iron over trees but dug in badly, the ball ending up nearer the trees. I then did much the same with an 8-iron, these two shots only adding 50 yards between them. A 4-iron got me back into play, followed by a lovely 7-iron that put me on the green for 5 after wasting those two shots on the way. I needed two putts but with a nett bogey 7 still managed to pick up a point.
The 8th was slightly less dramatic. After a good drive I hit a long 4-iron. I then tried for the green with my 6-iron but didn't strike the ball cleanly. My pitch was then short, the second attempt getting me on the green, where with one putt I made a nett par 6.
And so to the 9th, a hole that can ruin an otherwise good 9-holes. The drive was safe, avoiding the lake to the right and the bunker to the left. The following 4-iron wasn't long but again stayed safe. I then was heavy on the 5-iron, leaving me a way from the green. A 6-iron nearly got me there, needing a putt on and a single putt to finish with a nett par 6. Getting a 6 on the 1st and 9th was gratifying.
The final tally was 52 strokes and 17 putts, with 15 points. It was obvious where I dropped shots; the penalty on the 4th, two poor irons on the 7th, and a few wayward hits. But I didn't blob a hole, which is unusual, and this made the round feel better than recently, even though the final scores were identical to the previous Monday.

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) reported Thursday that the dead pelicans have been found in an area between Melbourne and Merritt Island.
FWC researchers are assessing specimens and the environment for information that can help identify a potential cause.
FWC said they sent samples two weeks ago to the National Wildlife Health Centers. But so far there is no conclusive answer. Officials are now waiting for results from additional samples sent this week.
“The pelicans are emaciated and have heavy parasite counts, and, to our knowledge, other bird species have not been affected,” said Dan Wolf, an FWC researcher.
Wildlife officials say it's not advisable to handle sick or dead birds. And they ask people to report any dead or sick pelicans to the wildlife agency's hotline at 888-404-3922.

When questions about the future of their homes could not be answered, frustration grew among residents of Maynard Street, Cape Town. They had come to a meeting at the Civic Centre on Monday afternoon to get clarity over what will happen to their City-owned houses. But they arrived to find that Councillor Stuart Diamond, the mayoral committee member responsible for assets and facilities management, and Councillor Brett Herron, the mayoral committee member for urban development, were no longer going to attend the meeting.
“They are running away from accountability to the electorate,” said Jerome Izaaks, a community leader and a Maynard Street resident. “This meeting was scheduled more than a month ago.”
Residents are worried that they will lose their homes after the City advertised the properties in 2015 for possible sale.
Izaaks said that the City’s Property Management Department “gave a commitment in April 2016 that the properties will be sold to the existing tenants” and that it would engage with the tenants about this. “These engagements never materialised … Now council appears to want to sell these properties to tenants at market-related prices.”
He said the houses have falling down gutters, mould on the walls, holes in the roofs and become flooded when it rains.
“What has property management [department] done to maintain these properties?” asked Izaaks. “If you are going to ask for a market-related price, surely the property needs to reflect a market-related condition?”
Councillor Suzette Little, who together with subcouncil manager Freddie Prince were the only City officials at the meeting, told the residents, “I cannot answer you, that’s why I was hoping, I was so hoping that they [Herron and Diamond] would be here to give you some responses.”
She said the councillors informed her on Friday that they would not be able to attend the Monday meeting. She chose to inform the residents face to face because she understood how frustrated the residents were.
“The problem is they [the City] don’t have money to maintain our property, so why not sell it to us?” said Hester Louw, 36, who has lived in Maynard Street her whole life. “We don’t want it for free. We will pay for it, but come to us with a reasonable amount.”
Louw, a mother of three and the principal at Woodlands Educare crèche in Parklands, said she lives in a nine-bedroom house with eight family members and pays rent of R10,000 in addition to rates.
“In the beginning those houses were for the poor people. My mom lived in the house next door. I’ve been living in that road since I am 11 years old,” said Susan Oelofse, 41. “You went on a waiting list to get the houses, and you paid like R50 a month rent. Now suddenly they are talking about market-related value, just because the area is now up and coming. But what about us?”
Oelofse is a single mother of five and works at Jan van Riebeeck Primary School for a salary of R5,000 per month. She pays rent of R1,100 per month, and she is behind on her rates bill.
“Whenever I come to a meeting and I come home, my children ask me if we are going to get thrown out,” said Oelofse. “Where do I go if they put us out? And where do I get the type of money to buy it? I don’t have family that I can rely on. I’ve been doing it on my own since the beginning.”
Little said, “I don’t think that we must sit around the table for much longer debating a question that I can’t answer for you. But I most certainly am going to request that you please send me the questions so that I can get you proper answers and responses. I am hoping that those questions will be answered at the next meeting.”
The meeting on Monday was a follow-up to a visit by Little to the Maynard Street properties on 19 April.

Why are entrepreneurs important? The need for entrepreneurial thinking is more crucial than ever. Studying entrepreneurship doesn’t only equip you to start a business. It cultivates in you an innovative mindset, a talent for critical thinking, and the resilience to overcome adversities.
You learn to see opportunities where others see problems, to come up with creative solutions, and to understand the dynamics of the market. These skills are invaluable, not just for business, but for navigating life itself.
Engaging with our own Filipino entrepreneurs can be a wellspring of inspiration and learning. Their journeys, replete with tales of overcoming challenges, innovating, and persisting against all odds, can serve as a beacon for those who want to chart their own paths.
Hearing their stories firsthand can provide an understanding of the realities of the entrepreneurial journey – the victories, the setbacks, and the invaluable lessons learned along the way.
Understanding Entrepreneurship and Entrepreneurs
I invite you, mga kababayan, to delve into the world of entrepreneurship. Whether you dream of starting your own business, wish to make a positive difference in your community, or simply seek to broaden your perspective, understanding entrepreneurship can open the door to a multitude of opportunities.
Connect with Filipino entrepreneurs, immerse yourself in their experiences, and learn from their wisdom.
At the heart of entrepreneurship, you’ll find the power of innovation, resilience, and the indomitable Filipino spirit. Embrace it, and you open yourself to a world of boundless possibilities.
What is entrepreneurship?
Entrepreneurship is the process by which individuals identify opportunities in the market, develop and organize resources, and take on the risk of creating, managing, and growing a business to exploit these opportunities for profit. It is characterized by innovation, risk-taking, and the capacity to recognize and seize upon unmet market needs.
Who are entrepreneurs?
Entrepreneurs are individuals who exercise initiative by organizing a venture to take advantage of an opportunity. They decide on the product, acquire the necessary resources, and are responsible for the venture’s success or failure. Entrepreneurs are innovators, risk-takers, and leaders who possess the foresight to disrupt or create new markets and drive societal and economic growth.
Entrepreneurship is the path Tony Tan Caktiong embarked on when he transformed a humble ice cream parlor into a global fast-food empire known as Jollibee.
He is an entrepreneur, seeing an opportunity to cater to the Filipino palate and taking the risks necessary to seize that opportunity.
Similarly, Anthony Thomas is an entrepreneur. With Mynt’s GCash, he recognized the opportunity to provide financial services to unbanked Filipinos using mobile technology. His innovative solution disrupted traditional banking and brought about financial inclusivity.
Both examples embody the spirit of entrepreneurship and offer a clear picture of who entrepreneurs are. They are the change-makers who, through their innovative ideas and risk-taking mentality, create new opportunities, wealth, and societal growth.
What are the characteristics of entrepreneurs?
What are the characteristics of entrepreneurs?
I wanted to say that everyone can become an entrepreneur. But I am not sure about that. I have conducted workshops that teach Business Model Generation and Starting a Business.
I have often invited employees to “think like entrepreneurs”. But doing so isn’t always easy. People want stable jobs. Stable to them means safe. They rather say at the safe bottom than upgrade themselves and scale their income and influence.
So, if you are one of those who are interested to become an entrepreneur, I encourage you to answer assess if you have what it takes.
Innovation (Pagpapanibago): Do you constantly find yourself thinking of new and improved ways to do things? Are you always coming up with ideas that can make life easier or better?
Risk-Taking (Pakikipagsapalaran): Are you comfortable with uncertainty and willing to take calculated risks in order to achieve greater rewards?
Resilience (Katatagan): When faced with failure or setbacks, do you bounce back quickly? Do you view these setbacks as learning opportunities?
Self-Motivation (Sariling Motibasyon): Do you have a personal drive that pushes you to work hard towards your goals, even when things get tough?
Flexibility (Kakayahang Umangkop): Are you able to adapt quickly to changes or unexpected obstacles?
Vision (Pangarap): Do you have a clear picture of what you want to achieve in the future and a plan on how to get there?
Resourcefulness (Maparaan): When resources are scarce, can you find creative ways to make the most out of what you have?
Decisiveness (Pagpapasiya): Can you make important decisions quickly and confidently, even under pressure?
Persistence (Pagpupunyagi): When faced with a challenging task, do you remain persistent until you complete it?
Leadership (Pamumuno): Can you inspire and motivate others to work towards a common goal?
If you answered ‘yes’ to most of these questions, you likely possess many of the key characteristics of successful entrepreneurs.
Remember, no one is born with all these traits. They can be developed over time, and many successful entrepreneurs have honed these skills throughout their journey. Keep cultivating these qualities, and let the entrepreneurial spirit within you flourish.
Entrepreneurship Vs. Small Business
Both roles are essential to the economy, but they operate on different paradigms.
Understanding these differences can help aspiring business owners and entrepreneurs align their ambitions, risk tolerance, and visions with the path that suits them best.
Consider a sari-sari store owner.
This individual likely follows a conventional business model, purchasing a variety of goods and reselling them to customers at a profit. The primary goal of the sari-sari store owner is typically to sustain the business, maintain a steady income, and cater to the local community.
They are often focused on the present, ensuring the day-to-day operations run smoothly. They might not have plans to significantly expand or innovate their business model, content with the stable income stream their sari-sari store provides.
Their mindset is often one of stability and preservation.
On the other hand, an entrepreneur in the online business or tech industry operates differently.
For instance, someone who creates a mobile app for online selling doesn’t just replicate an existing business model; they create a new one, innovate, and disrupt the market.
They think about scalability, about how their business can grow and serve not just their local community, but potentially the whole country, or even the globe.
They are often future-focused, thinking about how their business can evolve, adapt, and grow. They take risks, invest in research and development, and are always looking for ways to improve and expand.
Their mindset is one of growth, innovation, and disruption.
The activities of these two types of business owners reflect their differing mindsets.
While the sari-sari store owner might focus on inventory management, customer relations, and maintaining their storefront, the tech entrepreneur might be meeting with investors, developing their app, analyzing market trends, and devising marketing strategies to reach a wider audience.
4 Big Reasons Why Filipino Entrepreneurs Are Important
Entrepreneurship holds an undeniable significance not just in our economy, but in every facet of our lives, our communities, and our nation.
As we have journeyed through this discussion, we’ve come to understand the transformative power of entrepreneurship, and it’s high time that we embrace it.
In our lives, entrepreneurship plays a crucial role. It promotes self-reliance and equips us with the skills necessary to navigate the VUCA world. As entrepreneurs, we learn to see possibilities where others see challenges, innovate, take risks, and persist against the odds.
This mindset can not only lead us to create successful businesses but also to overcome personal challenges and thrive in our careers and lives.
In our communities, entrepreneurs are often the driving force behind growth and development. They create jobs, contribute to the local economy, and often provide valuable products or services that improve the quality of life.
They can inspire others in the community to think creatively, solve problems, and perhaps embark on their own entrepreneurial journeys.
In every organization, entrepreneurial thinking can lead to innovation and growth. Whether it’s a small startup or a large corporation, entrepreneurial employees – those who think creatively, take initiative, and embrace change – can drive the organization forward.
They can help the organization adapt to market changes, improve processes, and stay competitive.
At the national level, Filipino entrepreneurs can propel our nation toward prosperity and progress. They can put the Philippines on the global map, showcase our ingenuity and resilience, and contribute to our economic growth.
More than that, they can ignite the Filipino spirit, inspiring others to take the helm of their destiny and drive our nation forward.
So, mga kababayan, I encourage you to consider entrepreneurship.
Whether you dream of starting your own business, making a difference in your community, or simply desire to enhance your skills and mindset, embracing entrepreneurship can open a multitude of opportunities.
Let us venture into entrepreneurship, harness its transformative power, and together, we can create a brighter future for ourselves, our communities, and our beloved Philippines.
Your Entrepreneurial Journey
Let’s embark on an illustrative journey through the first five steps of starting your entrepreneurial venture. We’ll use a hypothetical community problem to guide us: the lack of access to fresh produce in a remote barangay.
Identify a Problem or Opportunity: In our example, the problem is that residents in a remote barangay have limited access to fresh produce due to distance from markets and lack of transportation options.
Analyze and Understand the Problem: This step involves gathering more information about the problem. Maybe we conduct a survey in the barangay to understand why residents are having difficulty accessing fresh produce. We find out that most residents are elderly and can’t travel long distances to the market. Additionally, transportation options are limited and expensive.
Develop a Business Idea to Solve the Problem: Given the results of our analysis, we come up with a business idea: an online platform that connects local farmers to consumers, with a delivery service that brings fresh produce directly to the residents’ homes.
Market Research and Feasibility Study: We research to see if similar services exist, how they operate, and if they’ve been successful. We also investigate the willingness of local farmers and residents to participate in such a scheme. After thorough research, we determine that our idea is feasible and there’s a market need for our service.
Develop a Business Plan: We outline the details of our online platform and delivery service, including our target market, marketing strategy, operational plan, financial projections, and growth strategy.
This exercise illustrates how you can approach the process of starting your entrepreneurial journey. Your journey might look different, depending on the problem or opportunity you identify.
But remember, the essence of entrepreneurship is seeing a problem or opportunity and having the courage to create a solution.
So, mga kababayan, I encourage you to look around you. What problems do you see in your community that need solving? What opportunities are waiting to be seized? Start with one problem or opportunity.
Understand it, explore it, and dare to create a solution for it. Your entrepreneurial journey begins with that first courageous step.

Beyonce takes us behind the scenes of her trailer trash “Party” video, where she surprises residents in the area, and even does a few memory makeovers by painting on the side of a motor home.
“The inspiration is trailer trash, ghetto fabulous, out there, edgy, with everything… put the shoes, the jewelry, the bling, everything,” explained Beyonce's stylist.
“I like this video. It’s no choreography, no pressure. All I have to do is party and have a good time,” said Beyonce. “Growing up, I had really amazing parents and I had a great childhood…. We went from nicer homes to being in apartments with our lights cutting off. It didn’t matter where we were ’cause we had love and we had so much fun. It’s great when you don’t have as much how you improvise and you have more fun.”

It’s hard to know which direction to go when faced with debt problems.
Debt consolidation is one option many utilize to get a handle on their debts.
But the typical debt consolidation programs don’t save you any money.
In fact you’re really just paying someone else to make your payments for you, and you’re still paying interest and other charges on your debts.
Or you are just taking out one new loan to pay off all of your numerous older loans. (See more on Non-Bankruptcy Debt Resolution Options)
Chapter 13 Repayment Terms Are Usually More Favorable And Are Guaranteed
Chapter 13 often allows less than 100% repayment of debts at zero percent interest and is usually a better deal than debt consolidation.
For those lucky debtors who qualify for Chapter 7 relief (which requires no repayment of debts and allows, in most cases, for discharge of all dischargeable debts), the decision is markedly easier to make.
But what about those who have the ability to make some monthly payments to their creditors and don’t qualify for chapter 7?
Their primary bankruptcy option in many cases is Chapter 13, which usually allows for just a partial repayment of the debt.
Yet for some reason, armed with this choice, most people decide that debt consolidation, rather than filing a Chapter 13 bankruptcy case, is their optimal solution.
Chapter 13 Forces Creditors to Accept Less
In Chapter 13 repayment plan, the amount you have to repay to your creditors will almost always be less than (or, at worst, equal) to what you will have to repay outside of bankruptcy. This is true even if you are required to repay 100% of your debts in a Chapter 13 case (see why below).
Depending on various factors–primarily your income and expense– you can get a discharge of your debts in a Chapter 13 case repaying anywhere from 0% to 100% of your unsecured debts for 36-60 months, depending on your budget and asset values.
And here’s the real kicker: Your creditors must accept the terms of the repayment plan as long as the court finds the plan is proposed in good faith and meets all the requirements of the bankruptcy code.
Chapter 13 Plans Are Zero Percent Interest!
Why is it better to repay 100% in a Chapter 13 rather than doing debt consolidation? Because you do not have to pay any interest on unsecured debts in a Chapter 13!
Even under the best consolidation deal outside of bankruptcy there is going to be interest paid.
Shorter Repayment Periods Possible
Also, in Chapter 13 your repayment plan will be for a maximum of 60 months (and in many cases can be as little as 36 months). This can result in significantly less paid out over time than one would have to pay in a debt consolidation arrangement.
Dismiss Your Chapter 13 Case Any Time
There are exceptions to everything in the law, but in most situations you can decide to back out of your Chapter 13 case at any time and have it dismissed. So you’re not obligated to continue with the repayment plan if you later decide it is in your best interests to stop.
What About Debt Settlement?
Debt settlement works fine, but it really requires settling with ALL creditors, not just a few, and you still need to make the required settlement payment which will have terms and conditions attached.
If you have the ability to settle with creditors and pay a lump sum to take care of it, that can be an acceptable result, but even in that situation, an analysis should be done to compare what the payments would be in a Chapter 13 and see which solution really is superior.
Always Explore Chapter 13 as an Option
So if you are in a position where you may have too many assets or income to qualify for a Chapter 7 case, but are having trouble managing your monthly payments on your credit cards or other unsecured debts, you should consult with a bankruptcy attorney about the possibility of filing a Chapter 13 case.
You very well may be able to pay off all your unsecured debts with very affordable monthly payments in less than 5 years!

The Bills added another offensive lineman to their roster on Tuesday.
Magnuson made the 49ers as an undrafted rookie in 2017 and he’s appeared in eight games over the last two seasons. He made four starts over that span, but was released off of injured reserve by the Niners earlier this month.
Magnuson arrives in Buffalo as they prepare to welcome a couple other offensive linemen back to full participation. Center Mitch Morse and tackle Conor McDermott remain in the concussion protocol, but were both on the field during Tuesday’s practice and that indicates they are closing in on full clearance.


China sends medical supplies, experts to help Italy battle coronavirus
ROME, March 13 (Reuters) - A planeload of medical supplies, including masks and respirators, has arrived in Italy from China to help it deal with its growing coronavirus crisis.
The coronavirus outbreak began in China late last year but has since swept the globe. Italy is now the worst-affected nation in the world after China, with 1,016 dead and 15,113 confirmed cases since the contagion came to light there on Feb. 21.
A team of nine Chinese medical staff arrived late on Thursday with some 30 tonnes of equipment on a flight organised by the Chinese Red Cross.
“In this moment of great stress, of great difficulty, we are relieved to have this arrival of supplies. It is true that it will help only temporarily, but it is still important,” said the head of the Italian Red Cross, Francesco Rocca.
“We have a desperate need for these masks right now. We need respirators that the Red Cross will donate to the government. This is for sure a really important donation for our country,” Rocca said.
The outbreak risks overwhelming Italian hospitals and some key supplies are running low.
In contrast to China, Italy’s partners in the European Union earlier this month refused Rome’s requests for help with medical supplies as they looked to stockpile face masks and other equipment to help their own citizens. (Writing by Crispian Balmer Editing by Gareth Jones)

The Shinsaibashi shotengai is a shopping street with a very long history! This covered arcade, site of some of Osaka's historical bridges, has been around in some form for hundred of years, and is still one of the city's most popular and famous spots. Osaka is well known for its covered shopping streets, and the Shinsaibashi shotengai is well travelled by residents and visitors alike. Limited to pedestrians, this strip is sheltered from the elements and provides you with everything from upscale department stores to fresh-from-the-griddle crepes to kimono and tea shops that look so authentically Kyoto, you'd think you were in the old capital itself.
Shinsaibashi is the perfect spot for window-shopping and strolling - not to mention a great escape from a rainy spring day! There's no shortage of places to shop in the south centre of the city, especially flanked by Amerika-mura and the Dotonbori, and Crysta Naghori underground, but this shopping arcade has a particular charm. Not only does it have a wide selection of stores sure to please anyone, but the southern end of the arcade is at the Dotonbori River, a great sightseeing spot and home to that famous 'eat-til-you-burst' Osakan cuisine.
Shotengai is a term used to describe any shopping street, and the Shinsaibashi area itself has several of these, so it can get confusing. The area officially known as "the" Shinsaibashi shotengai is officially only eight blocks long, stretching from just before Shinsaibashi, the bridge above Shinsaibashi Station on the Midosuji subway line, to Ebisubashi, the bridge over the Dotonbori River. Many people don't even realize they have left one shopping street and entered another as they stroll. To the south is Ebisubashisuji, and to the north, Senba Shinsaibashi, both popular shopping arcades in their own right. You'll probably notice when you cross the bridge and enter Ebisubashisuji, but the distinction between Shinsaibashi shotengai and Shinsaibashi Senba is particularly blurred; however, Senba is a little bit more run-down than its neighbour, so you can usually spot when you've transitioned from one to the other by the older signage.
My biggest problem with this arcade—and the reason why I gave it 4 stars despite the ease of access and selection of shops—is that it's crowded. All the time. At peak times, the crowd will flow (or muddle, depending) in either direction with an invisible line down the middle, and you'll be hard-pressed to dash through it to reach a store on the opposite side! Tourists with agorophobia, you really want to avoid this spot on a weekend or evening—but if you can handle the crowds, it's worth a look. Some of the shops even offer "walking maps" of the area if you need to duck out onto a side street to get to a certain store more quickly. But where's the fun in that? Relax and enjoy the unique shotengai experience!

Linea TJet A/C Problem
I have been facing regular problems with the a/c since I bought the car. In 2011, the gas was recharged & in 2012 the O rings were replaced. Since the car was in standard warranty, I didn't have to pay anything.
Now I am facing a peculiar problem - the a/c switches on only after 15-20 minutes. It doesn't matter what the temp. or fan setting is. Once switched on, the cooling is ok. Any ideas ?
The strange bit is that the cooling is "ok" once it switches on. Have you tried lowering the temp setting to the lowest possible once you switch on the AC? It does take a few seconds (at most a minute) most times for the cool air to start. Got the AC filter cleaned/replaced recently? If you have the new design filter (which is exactly what Fiats used to have a couple of years ago), make sure you clean it every month or so. It does get clogged very quickly in our dusty Dilli.
15-20 mins is a very long time . Like suggested check the filters.
But i doubt that its clogged so much that you need 15mins to see the effect.
What you could do is get the AC system checked thoroughly by FIAT as well as other after market guys.
This is what is generally done.
AC is turned on and the blower is set to 2 and a thermometer is clipped to the mouth of the vents . Observe the reading and it should slowly reduce to about 6-7C . If its not getting there then you have a problem .
Dont simply go ahead with a AC gas refill . Check then entire system for any leaks . Usually if there is a leak you will see dampness in the piping under the bonnet where the AC unit flows.
Since, T-Jet comes with Auto AC unit, I have one more question/clarification:
If the ignition is switched off without shutting down AC, next time you turn the ignition ON, AC should start on its own. I believe this where @rsinfo is facing problem.
OTOH, @rsinfo you can try with shutting down AC before you switch off ignition and then starting it ON manually and see whether it responds as desired
As already stated, no amount of fiddling with temp/air speed settings does anything. If anything, it only makes me mad
A chocked AC filter won't cool the car at all. In my case, the a/c starts working ok after 15-20 minutes.
- - - Merged Post - - -
theblack, I can't get the system checked from outside as the car is still under extended warranty. For what its worth, I don't want FIAT to refuse me the extended warranty just by getting the a/c checked & serviced from outside.
Anyway, since its an ongoing problem, FIAL should be held responsible for it & should rectify it.
The Service center guys overfilled the AC Gas in the system.. take your car back to the service center and ask them to fill it up to correct pressure... the problem would be solved.
A possibility, but any idea why would it would manifest in May this year only & not last year ? If there was some problem with pressure, the problem would have started right after gas filling.
There is no logical explanation to this madness... I had this problem 5 months after the O-ring replacement and Gas filling at that time. The problem was solved as soon as the guys at ASS refilled the gas in line with specified directions.
I guess you are right. As a computer guy I seek logical explanations to almost everything
What should be the correct pressure & how do I check it ?

Greenhouse gas emissions are rising and global warming is becoming more of a crisis. In the fashion industry, these two facts are not so much startling as they are combatable. We are not powerless to help the planet – we can give Mother Earth a helping hand by wearing sustainable clothes and using cosmetics that don’t have a negative impact on the environment. Fashion is forever changing, and models can influence brands and manufacturers by championing sustainable items. Gone are the days when wearing second-hand clothes meant looking like a 1960s has-been. As a society, we can make simple changes to assist in the healing process. Here, we look at some fashion modifications you can make to lessen the burden on our planet – you may even start a new trend without realising it.
Quite a lot of clothes won’t last more than a year. Think unwanted Christmas presents (jumper is too large, trousers are the wrong style etc). Whilst charity shops welcome cast-offs, it’s far better to turn superfluous clothes into a completely different article, ready for a new leash of life. With a little work, your wardrobe could soon be fully converted from unwanted burdens to cherished possessions.
Which moves us on to fashion in its truest definition – the fashionable style at the time. We all like to look good, and models can have some influence on the consumer. By wearing “all-time favourites” that rarely go out of fashion, the lifespan of clothes will increase, thus reducing the adverse effects on the environment. It’s estimated that if owners extend their clothes’ lifespan by just nine months, the environmental impact can be reduced by 30%. Easier said than done, but if just 10% of the world stuck to the nine month extension, the positive impact on the environment would be monumental. So remember to think of the classics before buying something that you can’t see yourself wearing for more than a season. It’ll be better for the planet, and for your bank balance.
Some manufactures have started producing polyester fleeces made from plastic bottles. Depending on your budget, support them. Recycle your clothes more often – recycle collection areas can be found in most large towns (look out for them in supermarket car parks), so you’re not restricted to 9-5 charity shops. Don’t be part of the 85% of people that don’t recycle their clothes.
Shop smartly, and consider hosting monthly “clothes swapping” functions at your house. This is a great way of acquiring new styles without paying for them – plus it should be fun, too.
Try to avoid buying too many clothes made from synthetic non-biodegradable materials – they don’t break down, much like plastics, and add to the general waste found in landfills and illegal fly-tipping areas.
Think about brands offering subscriptions from which you can rent clothes (as opposed to buying outright) – you’ll get a more varied style without adding to the burden of landfills.
There are plenty of facts and figures about sustainable products, and the fashion industry is just one of the major players that contribute to negative environmental issues. No industry is perfect, but with a little common sense and a few tweaks in your lifestyle, you can start to help our planet.
In conclusion, shop smartly, organise swapping social parties, and support brands that market sustainable clothes. There’s no reason why you can’t look good and help out the environment at the same time.


This week, we were delighted to receive some complimentary copies of the new album by Usman Riaz entitled ‘Circus in the Sky’ – for which we provided a string section (as both an orchestra and solo instrumentalists) on three of the tracks: ‘The Adventures of the Lost Boy’, ‘Descent to the Ocean Floor’ and ‘Fragaria Dreams’. The album is released through EMI Pakistan and is a varied and eclectic mix of styles. Usman is developing a big following as a guitarist and composer. Some excerpts from his latest album can be heard here:
We wish Usman all the very best with his album and look forward to working with him again in the future.

Afghan President Ashraf Ghani terms 2016 as year of fighting against corruption in Afghanistan
KABUL: Afghan President Ashraf Ghani termed year 2016 as a year of fighting against corruption in Afghanistan.
He claimed that some government sectors are involved in corruption which is destroying our economy.
He vowed to take strict measures against the corruption.
His remarks came during the celebration of, Nowruz, a New Persian year 1395.
He claimed that country will develop in energy sector in the year which would be an example as compared to previous hundred years.
Ghani claimed peace, development and stability in the country in the New Year.
He claimed that Afghan forces will be victorious in the ongoing war against terror in the country and will lead to permanent peace.

The independent review of the Financial Ombudsman Service will investigate if a court-like process for investigating complaints would improve the way that the FOS operates.
Lord Hunt of Wirral published his call for evidence this week, outlining the scope of the review, including whether a court-like process would work, whether details of individual cases should be made public and if improvements can be made to the information that the FOS releases regarding its processes.
The document asks whether the FOS should align its practices with those of the legal profession.
It says: “There is scope for debate about how far a more court-like process would aid transparency and thus boost confidence or, alternatively, add cost and delay and be perceived as less acc- essible by at least some consumers”.
The call for evidence highlights the tension between giving greater transparency to allow consumers and businesses better insight into the FOS and worries about avoiding prescription in a process where the FOS applies principle-based regulation.
The Hunt review will inv-estigate how the FOS can improve the communication of its policies with the industry and consumers.
Lord Hunt aims to report to the FOS in the first quarter of next year.

The BBC has confirmed that Four Lives, which tells the shocking true story of four men murdered in London, will air over three consecutive nights from 9pm on Monday 3 January on BBC One, with all episodes on BBC iPlayer from the same time.
A tense trailer and picture for the new drama were also released today.
Written by Neil McKay and based on extensive research and multiple sources, Four Lives’ cast includes Stephen Merchant, Sheridan Smith, Jaime Winstone, Samuel Barnett, Rufus Jones, Robert Emms, Daniel Ryan, Stephanie Hyam and Leanne Best.
From Jeff Pope and Neil McKay, the award-winning team behind The Moorside and Appropriate Adult, the new factual drama will go beneath the headlines to shed new light on this story by telling it from the point of view of the families and friends of the four young men – Anthony Walgate, Gabriel Kovari, Daniel Whitworth and Jack Taylor – who were murdered by Stephen Port.
Four Lives focuses on the fight to uncover the truth about what had happened to their lost sons, brothers and loved ones in the face of a now widely condemned police investigation.
The three-part series will begin at 9pm on Monday 3 January on BBC One, continuing at the same time on Tuesday 4 January and Wednesday 5 January.
All three episodes will be available on BBC iPlayer from 9pm on Monday 3 January.
Written by Neil McKay, Four Lives (3×60’) is directed by David Blair, produced by Serena Cullen and executive produced by Jeff Pope for ITV Studios, Neil McKay and Lucy Richer for the BBC.
The drama was commissioned by Piers Wenger, Director of BBC Drama, and Charlotte Moore, BBC Chief Content Officer.
It is a co-production with BritBox North America, where it will premiere in the US and Canada, and is distributed internationally by ITV Studios.

White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow said on Thursday he has confidence in Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell but that President Donald Trump intends to proceed with plans to name a controversial partisan to the U.S. central bank’s board of governors.
At an event sponsored by The Hill, Kudlow said the White House is sticking by Herman Cain as a candidate for a Fed seat “at the moment,” even after several Republican senators have come out against the idea and despite allegations of misconduct against the former pizza company chief executive.
Kudlow noted that Cain was getting vetted.
“He is in the process. We’ll let him go through it. And the president insists on that,” Kudlow said, adding Trump had reiterated his support for Cain as late as Wednesday night.
Controversy over Cain’s possible nomination, as well as that of economic commentator and Trump supporter Stephen Moore, continued on Thursday.
Senator Kevin Cramer became the fourth Republican senator reported to oppose Cain’s expected nomination, potentially putting his chances in peril.
Elected officials and interest groups on both sides of the political aisle voiced support for Powell, and for the need to keep the Fed at arms length from the influence of politicians in its interest rate decisions.
“The chairman of the Fed is the leader in the world of central banks. Now, thank God, Chairman Powell is there, but for him to have to deal with a politically motivated Fed – this is a really dangerous one,” House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi said. Powell will brief House Democrats this evening at their annual retreat.
The issue was percolating as well through the annual meetings of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, institutions whose largest shareholder is the United States. The country has been looked on to serve as a sort of global touchstone on issues like the importance of leaving politics out of interest rate decisions.
“How do you see the Fed’s independence, given what appears to be political persuasion trying to guide policy from outside the building?” Institute of International Finance President Tim Adams asked Fed Vice Chair Richard Clarida, in an apparent reference to recent demands by Trump that the Fed lower interest rates.
“We are accountable to the Congress,” Clarida said in an answer that skirted mention of Trump. “The Fed is a creation of the U.S. Congress by statute. We have a very clear in black-and-white mandate assigned to us … which is maximum employment and price stability,” not maximizing the growth rate of gross domestic product, he said.
Central bank “capture” by national leaders has been blamed for a variety of economic ills, from hyperinflation to runaway debt used to finance projects in hopes of winning re-election.
Moore has said recently he wanted to accommodate Trump’s policies, that he feels the president’s re-election was necessary for the country’s economic success, and wants to do battle with what he calls “growth-phobiacs” at the Fed.
The president nominates members to the Fed’s seven-member board of governors, and he elevated Powell to chairman a year ago. The nominations must be approved by the Senate. Another 12 members of the Federal Open Market Committee, which sets interest rates, head regional banks and are chosen by local boards of directors, not the president.
CRITICS IN THE WHITE HOUSE
Trump and Kudlow have both been critics of the Fed’s policies under Powell.
Kudlow on Thursday reiterated that he disagreed with the Fed’s most recent interest rate hikes.
“He’s a fine person,” Kudlow said of Powell. “I think he’s going to turn into a good Fed chairman.”
Kudlow noted the Fed was independent but said that would not stop him and others from weighing in on its activities.
“The Fed is an independent central bank, and we aim to keep it that way,” Kudlow said. “That doesn’t mean we can’t express our opinions periodically.”
Asked about the controversy over the usually staid Fed, including statements by Cain and Moore in mainstream and social media, St. Louis Federal Reserve bank President James Bullard said the institution tends to “convert” people pretty quickly to its technocratic methods.
Moore, for example, said in a Bloomberg interview that he felt Fed meetings should be televised: a likely non-starter for an organization that publishes minutes of its meetings three weeks after the fact and holds regular press conferences, but feels a camera in the room would inhibit free discussion.
“That might not be a good thing to do,” Bullard said. “The Fed itself is a technocratic organization, so even if someone comes in, they get converted to technocrats pretty quickly.”

Retired Milwaukee Sheriff Davis Clarke told Newsmax Wednesday that the district attorney responsible for the low $1,000 bail that let accused killer Darrell Brooks go free before driving into the crowd at the deadly Waukesha, Wisconsin, holiday parade Sunday, “should be investigated” for his “woke” policies that may have contributed to the tragedy.
“I would like for the state attorney general's office to start an investigation of misconduct in office against (Milwaukee County District Attorney) John Chisholm and the appropriate measures taken,” Clarke said during “The Chris Salcedo Show” Wednesday. “I know it's a little too late for the victims, another eight-year-old died overnight. This is a horrific situation, but we can still hold some people accountable and not get into this ‘make sure it doesn't happen again,’ but send a message to the people who have this public trust. We're watching you.”
Milwaukee resident Darrell Brooks, 39, is currently charged with five counts of intentional murder that may increase to six following the child’s death Tuesday, as well as further charges for injuring more than 40 others after allegedly plowing through a barricade during the annual parade and then smashing into the crowd of parade participants and onlookers.
Brooks was free on $1,000 bail for a separate incident just days before where he allegedly struck the mother of his child with a vehicle.
Clarkes said he saw Brooks’ arrest record with an extensive criminal history that should have warranted a much higher bail amount.
“This is not the first time this has happened either in the Milwaukee area, where a hardened, career criminal, was out for some reason and went on to murder, rape, rob, so on and so forth,” Clarke, who said he served with Chisholm during his tenure as Milwaukee sheriff. “This is malfeasance on the part of the district attorney. The definition of malfeasance is when a public official game engages in behavior that's contrary to law, which this is, and which is contrary to the public trust.”
Clarke said his experience with Chisholm was that the district attorney was “all in” on political correctness in the criminal justice system and low bail for suspected offenders.
“He believes that it is an extension of ‘Jim Crow’ and so that works its way through his office with some. He does not believe in incarceration, the use of jails and prisons as a crime control tool,” Clarke said. “And he believes in really no bail, but he can't get away with that yet in Wisconsin, we don't have that under the law, but he gives away low bail and that's what happened here.”
He said that higher bails would have “sent a message” to Brooks that his criminal behavior would not be tolerated.
“This guy's rap sheet, I looked at it, was 32 pages long for heaven's sakes with serious infractions,” he said. “Had somebody sent him the signal that we were going to tolerate his criminal behavior long before Sunday, this never would have happened. This is the fault of a lax criminal justice system.”

Seems like every CAD file I get the contour lines from the engineers rarely match surrounding designs linework/elevations. Sometimes those contours are off .2’ sometimes they’re off 2’.
So, do you nudge them? Throw them out and build your own? What have you found to be the solution that works best for you when faced with this issue?
Example pulled from another model builders FG DXF:
Are you speaking about the or the funky triangles? If your using the contours to create a surface try changing the segment length of the linestrings. Override segment length to a larger number
Talking about the contours usually being off from the rest of the engineers design and not tieing in nicely to surrounding elevated linework that has elevation call outs you have to stick to.
Sometimes they leave out curb lines from their model or they use the wrong curb details and when they generate the contours they won’t be exact. But if you’re seeing 2’, this would be an RFI for me. Most engineers don’t consider contours are part of the design, they’re just showing the direction that water should flow.
Good reply Cade. I’m actually started modeling and not including curb any more. Just edge top pavement and offset natural ground 0.01 and up 0.50’.
I don’t claim to understand why, but some engineers will not use dynamic contours and forget to update the contours when the surface changes, then publish or send out incorrect contour lines relative to the surface elevations. It’s not unlike having “dead” grade labels or grade labels that pull elevations from the wrong surface.

Evicting a tenant with an AST
When you go to court and file to evict your tenant, make sure all your documents are in order, because you will then be able to use what is called an 'accelerated possession' procedure which is where you can get a court hearing within a six week period. Assuming you get an order for possession, the court is usually going to delay the possession for a further month. You are then in a position to apply for an eviction date with the bailiffs after about a month. The bailiffs will then arrange a time with the tenants which would generally be within a few weeks.
If the courts are busy, then it is going to be highly unlikely to obtain a possession for possibly three to five months especially if the tenant is unwilling to vacate.
There unfortunately is only one cast iron guarantee that a tenant vacates the premises and that is when they have actually moved out. A high percentage of landlords constantly find themselves with a pleasant tenant who then unfortunately then becomes a tenant from hell when they find out that the house is being sold.
How We Can Help
Quick Purchase have a variety of options for you to consider, we do not offer market value for properties we purchase, but we do offer a guaranteed cash offer and a quick sale without the hassle or stress that comes with a conventional sale even with a tenant in place.
If you have got into financial difficulties and you are facing repossession or even if you just want to release equity from you property we can help.
Don’t let your nightmare tenant get the satisfaction of you struggling financially or loosing sleep. Selling your property the quick and easy way with Quick Purchase means you can move on with your live and let us deal with your tenant.

In November, a group of Beaches and Cream Newquay WI members proudly took part in the Take back the Night march and vigil in Newquay.
Beaches and Cream has been supporting the Cornwall Refuge Trust for more than two years and consider it a cause very dear to their hearts. Every month, members donate toiletries which are then given to the Refuge Trust as they are very well aware of the difficult circumstances at the Refuge that women have encountered before arrival. The members hope that some basic essentials, and sometimes a little pampering, might ease their situation just a little.
At Beaches and Cream Newquay WI’s Christmas meeting last week, members donated an incredible number of Christmas presents for children at the Refuge Trust (in addition to toiletries).

Though Sailer himself is not named.
A caller, 28 years old and who self identifies as part of the Alt-Right, calls in to Rush Limbaugh and explains why he is supporting Trump, and why the Trump movement isn't even really about Trump.
To restate, he says the Democrats are the party of the fringes, by which he means homosexuals, disaffected minorities, single women, etc. Republicans have de facto become the party of white men, even if they don't want to be. The difference is that the Democrats openly appeal to their constituency, whereas Republicans don't. Trump is seen as resistance to this and that's why he can get away with seemingly anything. And to this, Rush says, "I get it."
This of course is exactly what Steve Sailer has been writing about with "The Core Vs. The Fringe" here at VDARE.com for years. (See Gender Gap vs. Marriage Gap—Or, The Obama Fringe vs. Romney's (And America's) Core)
Rush later featured another caller, a 34 year old man who said he agreed with the first Alt-Right caller even though he was a lifelong conservative and supporter of George W. Bush. Here's what happened next:
RUSH: Well, now, let me ask something else he said. He said — and I thought this was key. He said, "Everybody and their uncle..." I saw it discussed today that the establishment types, the political professionals, can't believe that Trump survived his opening comments about Mexicans when he announced his candidacy. They can't believe he survived what he said about Megyn Kelly, and they can't believe that he survived what he said about John McCain. This 28-year-old guy told me yesterday, "Rush, to understand this you have to understand it isn't about Trump. He happens to be the vessel. He happens to be the opening, whatever. But we're not interested in destroying Trump because we don't want to destroy what Trump represents." Is that pretty much true for you, too?
CALLER: That's exactly it. We need... It's obviously not working. Things aren't working. Something needs to change, and it's not... I mean, there are things where I kind of look at Trump and I say, "Boy, really? Should he have said that?" But he's the only person to drive us to making change, and I'm a results-driven guy. You know, I work logistics, and we need to effect change. We need to see results. So the fact that he says off-the-cuff things, though it's not right, I think your average voter... You know, we're all imperfect, right? We all have our things. He's gonna do stupid stuff, but he's gonna drive us to those results.[Trump's Appeal Isn't About Trump, Rush Limbaugh, January 22, 2016]
I do think the Trump campaign is at least somewhat about Trump. But there is something larger. It's about getting the Republican party to finally connect with the interests of its voters. And we are providing the ideological framework to allow that connection to happen. I'm glad to see Rush Limbaugh gets it, at least somewhat. Now, it simply depends on whether Donald Trump can actually win once the votes are cast.
