LITTLE GEMS
Phony as three-dollar bills.
1. Balance of Nature. All that garbage you see on the hugely funded advertising program running everywhere on television. All phonies. The law about such things tells us that they can do this to the public as long as they don’t put anything in the bottles that will hurt anyone. They can lie and it’s all a lie. Even if you base your health plan in later years on getting something from these bottles of phony compressed placebo powder, it’s legal. Don’t buy into it. And no, you can’t get your money back or get even.
2. Advantage medical plans. It’s that time of year. They want your Part B Medicare, that you sign off on, to convert to their Advantage plan (think Humana, USAA, Blue Cross Blue Shield, or any of them). They take your membership out of a medical plan admired by everyone, promise better coverage, eye, hearing, and teeth care, and give you Balance of Nature phony kind of crap. You get to select doctors you’ve never heard of, located forty miles away. You get an eye exam, tooth exam, and hearing test, that’s if for those ‘coverages’…and when you finally figure out you got lots less than nothing for changing you also find out Medicare won’t take you back again.
3. Dovato, the new HIV drug. Supposedly, nobody can ever tell you have the condition while taking the drug and that’s happily advertised. Really? Is that how people are supposed to treat other people they are having sex with/ What kind of lousy unethical ad is that where you want the deadly serious and highly communicable disease to be undetectable, as in the ads?
4. Cryptocurrency, all of it. A pyramid game and it’s too late for you to enjoy the upfront membership. You lose. There is no crypto mining. It’s a computer-running scam supposed to ‘mine’ data making the crypto of your choice grow in value. There is no growth. Crypto grows because more people are paying in until it all falls down the Alice rabbit hole. Don’t buy it and don’t own it.
Another sold-out event for Downtown Lake Geneva.
The first Fall Wine Walk Sunday is set for November 5, 2023, from noon through 4 p.m. It didn’t take long for the event to sell out. The Business Improvement District added this second wine walk to the annual calendar since the spring wine walk is always sold out as well and the people were asking for more. Over twenty different locations downtown Lake Geneva will be designated sipping locations. Shopping will be anywhere and everywhere downtown with so many fun additions to the shopping experience and don’t forget some great deals. This wonderful afternoon is more than a lovely afternoon of strolling downtown as it is a great fundraiser for the Never Say Never Playground project. Even if you have not purchased a ticket, Sunday afternoon is a great time to meet new people and shop downtown. Such a fun popular event maybe a third needs to be added.
