Boycott

 Wow!  The sun is glaring in through the window.  We have a partly cloudy sky, which means that different parts of the sky are cloudy while other parts are sunny.  A sunny part is passing overhead and the brightness flooding into the room is brilliant.  The temps are in the upper 30s (F).  They will climb up into the upper 40s (F).  That will be fine.  Howie will get a walk in, though in the neighborhood, not up at Adams-Ricci.

Work yesterday was interesting.  One of my blind measurements stopped by the flooring desk to have a set of banded shades designed.  They're expensive.  He said that with the 35% discount the cost shouldn't be that bad. Hahahaha.  He wanted to purchase 30 shades.  His cost before discount was over $14,000 (Hahahaha).  After his discount it was over $9000.  (Hahahaha).  As you might guess, he decided to wait.  There might be a better discount next week, maybe 40%.  I emailed him a link to the design so he can review it in the comfort of his home, and where he can, should he want, pick a far less expensive shade.

Sales are down.  This is to be expected.  Prices are only going to go up.  And it is Friday, February 28, the last day of the month.  I stole this from Six.

And today is the first of hopefully many boycotts.  It will be interesting to see if any of the Main Stream Media outlets report on it.  I suppose everything depends upon how successful we are.  Honestly, every little bit helps.  Remember, this doesn't only apply to products, but to services as well.  

Jeff Bezos took a sledgehammer to the Washington Post again, turning their opinion columns into pro Orangie praise pieces.  There are still some naive people out there believe Jeffie is bending the knee.  Wrong.  Being the billionaire he is, Jeffie is aiding and abetting the Orange Anus.  Any billionaire siding with Orangie is doing the same thing.  They are all member of the billionaires club and like the Three Musketeers, they are all for one, and one for all.  Everyone of them believe they are supreme beings.

And you know?  I was thinking last night that with the size of the universe, a million, maybe a billion planets have already gone through the shit we're going through right now, that is if social evolution follows the same path on every planet with life.  This is, of course, a concept Conservatives will never be able to understand.  They desperately want us to be alone.  That's the only way we can remain special.  Sadly, they're wrong. 

Cherry Picking

 A cold night was had by all in Central PA.  When I checked out the temp this morning, it was a very chilly 10 (F).  That's cold.  The good news is that beginning today, temps are predicted to rise over the next few days, and by Christmas we should be sitting in the mid to upper 40s range.  

Yesterday was eventful in a non-eventful way.  I had made plans to drive down to York and visit my friend Betsy, we were going to do lunch and then go see Wicked (my 2nd time).  Things did not go as planned.  She called to let me know she was feeling more than a little "under the weather," with a chest cold, so those plans were scrapped.  Instead, I stayed home and worked on The Body in History.  I also did a lot of laundry; one thing I won't need to do during Christmas week.

Two bunches of cilantro were run through the dehydrator.  Two bunches of Fresh cost $4, a bottle of dry is $5.29.  My supermarket doesn't offer a generic brand, and you know that price is going to go up.

I also went online to see what sheets cost at Target:  $50 for 400 thread count.  That's about $2 more than what they cost on Amazon, for sheets of the same quality and I can afford the difference.  Target delivers for free, too, which is fine by me.  I am not now, nor have I ever been a shopper.  Perhaps that's because I work in retail.  Or, perhaps it's because I think people who browse through shirts and pants are a bit on the pretentious side. Or, it could be that my tastes are so unrefined that I simply don't care.  For me, spending an afternoon shopping is like crapping away 3 or 4 hours of my life, hours that I will never get back.  

For those who haven't heard, Amazon workers are on strike, and Bezos, arrogant ass that he is, is getting married to his side slut in Aspen next weekend in a $600 million wedding.  Let the boycotts begin.

And I found this funny.

I posted it on Facebook.  Normally, when I do things like this I get 7 to 10 likes.  My friends who don't?  Well, they know the shit that's going on and I just like to rub their noses in it.  Those of us who are sane, who love Democracy?  This is an attitude we all need to display.  Those people who voted for the Moral Degenerate need to be constantly reminded that they own everything that happens from January 20 on.  

One thing I find amusing is that soooo many Evangelicals voted for the Orange Anus because they thought he'd been sent by God to give them what they want, and now they're stuck with Elonia running the show.  Does that mean that God has abandoned Orangey?  Or was it that he wasn't sent by God?  Is everything they were believing just another lie in Orangey's con?  For those who haven't realized it yet, religion makes people stupid.  They rail against wokeness because those who are woke ask questions, and questions scare the Hell out of the Zealots.  They might get answers their own Faith is too weak to deal with, so it's better to stay stupid and cherry pick the Bible for things to hate.
