Daily Dose of Sultnpapper 09/24/18> Is Austin, Texas becoming the hub of block chain social media?

It hit me Sunday evening while visiting with the wife outside taking in the evening air, Austin, Texas is home to both Steemit and WeKu and it so it begs the question of are they intertwined and we just don’t know it?

Either way Austin is becoming a social media block chain hub it seems.

I could see both sides of this on how they could be and how they couldn’t be so I really can’t say one way or another. Anyway, just something that came to mind, while sitting outside.

I would like to get the addresses for the offices of both these platforms just to see how close these companies are located to each other, hell, it would be really something if they were in the same office building wouldn’t it? If anyone happens to have the addresses please send them on or reply with them, I go to Austin, Texas at least once a month and I might just stop in and say “thank you” for their creations.

After coming in from outside I decided to get started on taking care of some computer stuff and so I opted for the couch in the front room I flipped on the light switch and not only did the light come on but so did the TV. I haven’t watch anything on TV in a while but I did see that “Big Brother” is still on the tube, I guess I really can’t call it the tube anymore since televisions haven’t had tubes in the since probably the early 80’s but regardless of not having tubes I will probably still continue to call it the tube as long as I am alive.

If the remote had been handy I would have turned it off right away but since it wasn’t I let it play for a little bit. Is it me or is it just my imagination that the TV commercials seem to be more frequent now and seem to last longer?

It is also the time when the politicians have their TV advertising campaigns kicking in to gear, I checked and we are 42 days away from that day we vote in the midterm elections.

I had left the TV on long enough to see three different TV commercial breaks each break had at least two political advertisements in them. I honestly think that the only folks who actually win during the elections are the TV & radio stations. We sure as hell don’t win even if the person we vote for gets elected since they ultimately will be corrupted and lose any integrity if they had any to even start with.

The other thing I noticed is the form of the advertising, we don’t vote for politicians based on their merits and what they will do when elected because they don’t tell you what they are about or what their vision is for whatever office they are running for, that isn’t how it is done anymore.

I can’t remember back that far when politicians actually ran a positive campaign instead of the name calling and exposing of dirty little secrets on their opponents. Now we elect folks based on who we distrust the least for the most part.

This year I won’t vote party lines, I won’t vote for the best liar either: I will be voting for the challenger in all races that involve an incumbent holding the office. Plain and simple; it may not make sense to you but it does to me. It may not get the challenger elected but the closer the margin of victory becomes for an incumbent it might just get their attention that people are becoming unhappy with their performance and the next time they might just get defeated if their don’t mind their P’s and Q’s.

Be sure to get your plan of action together for voting this year and be sure to vote.
Until next time,
