Hey Mike.
So, it's not better. Young angry guys are still mowing people down in public places all over the US. Last week, it was massage parlors in Atlanta and this week, grocery stores. Fuck this noise. I am disgusted by this country more than ever - because the whole damn pandemic, not one shooting - shit starts opening up and BAM we are back at it. Soon, I suppose we can expect kids to be slaughtered on the reg again once they are back in-person.
I want to fucking call my stupid sister in law who has been posting non-stop bitching about how her kids "deserve" to be back in school. Yeah, great, then I can go back to worrying that Mason will die in the lunchroom.
And then, today, at work, I had to frigging go all anarchy bear on a poor 20-year old kid who was defending Bezos' "right" to be "successful" and I couldn't help myself: NO ONE NEEDS 300+ BILLION DOLLARS. That's not success, it's just greed. I tried to couch it in "hey, if he paid his people more, they'd have more to spend, and that helps everyone" instead of going all scorched earth and putting all the cards on the table:
That bastard killed independant retail commerce in the guise of giving a "marketplace" to small business.
He exploits the economy and kills the earth by having thousands of vans delivering goods to people all day every day. He doesn't give back to his community.
When I mentioned that he had purchased an entire subdivision of houses in north Virginia (where HQ2 is) in order to keep the public away from his primary house, the kid says to me: "Well, fuck yeah, I'd do that too!"
Jesus fucking christ, what is the point? Greed is unstoppable, they all want to be famous, they don't want to DO anything, they just want attention and money.
I blame our generation. I hope your damn kid grows up smarter than my nephews - the smart one (in college now) is in a frat, so we have lost him. The middle one is being brain washed by his whiny mom who aspires to all that Bellevue has to offer. The little one is turning into a cast member of Wall-E.
I am legit sick of this, and thus have begun actively acquiring and drinking high end tequila. Which is a town in Mexico. I did not know that.
Mike. This bunch of white-power Christian zealots is not even pretending anymore. We are actively deporting residents from other countries who have lived and worked here for decades, students who have been protesting the invasion of Gaza, AND....AND frigging British tourists and Uber drivers who take a wrong turn on a bridge and end up in Canada because there is no turnaround, and when they re-enter they are being detained. And then yetsterday the vampire Nazi Stephen Miller announced they are "looking into" suspending hebeas corpus and...and allowing Afrikkaner "refusgees" (you know, rich, white people who exploited Apartheid and now hate the fact that they are required by law to pay taxes and share land ownership) to "seek asylum" here. I fucking cannot take this. They have undone Roe, they are purging the population, and the Supreme Court is about to also make Christianity the only religion (apparently) with any right to freely practicing. I fucking hat...
