Musk and the Nerdy Young Men

 Today's high temp is supposed to be in the low 40s (F), however, we are planning for a quick dip tomorrow.  Today we're supposed to have partly cloudy skies, tomorrow?  A mixed bag of precipitation including a little bit of snow flurries, and a little bit of ice, and a little bit of rain.  I'm off both today and tomorrow, so I'll get my shopping done today and then home-it tomorrow.

I did work yesterday.  I sold one of my installs and got a measure, otherwise it was very slow.  The aisles were empty.  To pass my times, I chatted with associates and got my laps in: over 12,000 steps.  My name was drawn for the Salesperson of the Month award.  The prize was a $25 gift card for the store.  I used it to get furnace filters and some seed starter kit.  I'm thinking of putting in a few tomato and pepper plants in my front yard along with the Dahlias, maybe create some sort of flowery, Veggie potpourri garden.

When I did get into work yesterday, I saw that they had put our DEI board back up... sort of.  All the information that had been there is once again posted.  However, the three words across the top, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, have been removed.  A majority of Americans don't realize how DEI works, however they are being fed a diet of racial hatred by a small group of white people who believe that unqualified  people of color are being put into positions of importance simply because of their skin color.  If that were the case, this country would be lurching backward guided solely by pandemonium and chaos and that is not happening.

Of course, the stock market didn't crash yesterday because the Orange Anus caved.  Reports coming in were that the crash on Wall Street was going to be brutal, a bloodbath some called it, and that scared the bejesus out of him.  Hearing him tell it, however, both Mexico and Canada caved.  We are oh, so lucky that president of Mexico, and the Prime Minister had the receipts to prove the agreements Orangie said he demanded had already been in place.  Even more amusing was the fact that the 10,000 troops along the Mexican boarder were already in place.  CNN talked about the Canadian deal, but I'm not aware of any other Main Stream Media outlet posting this information.  

And more and more Americans are hating that fact the Elonia is involved in dismantling the government.  People just do not want him and his bunch of young male henchies having access to their personal information.  And... just a quick question, am I the only one who noticed that Elonia's proteges are young, nerdy males?  The oldest is 24 and the youngest is, I believe 19.  Could it be that Elonia is revealing a certain preference for whom he wants to associate?  Is it because they think he's a god?  I mean, it does make one wonder, doesn't it?

Pure Greed

 It's cold outside.  When I woke up the temp was 18 (F).  Tomorrow the temps are predicted to be in the low 50s (F).  I'll take the warmth over the cold any day of the week.  It's not that I don't like the cold, I just don't like the heating bills.  Right now it appears that $$$ might be going into a short supply.

I did work yesterday.  It was fairly slow.  I did get a measure.  Management likes that.  I have a feeling that very soon measures and flooring installations are also going to be in short supply.  Prices are going to go up, this is why I bought a dehydrator.  And those prices that go up?  They're not going to be coming down.  Corporations are not going to be taking a cut in pay just to make your life easier.  

One thing that was obvious yesterday when I went into work, Home Depot is scrubbing its DEI initiative.  Our boards were stripped.  This doesn't mean they're going to stop DEI hiring, just that they are not going to promote this necessity.  And it is just that.  When I began working for the company 16 years ago, you could count associates of color on one hand, that is not the case today.  It turns out that many of the white people who apply are... well, to put it bluntly, lazy.  We have a higher turnover with our white associates than with our people of color.  This doesn't mean that they both can't be lazy, just that our white associates don't last too long.

This is very important. I don't know how long this administration will allow access to it, so you may want to print it off.

And, of course, the Orange Anus has initiated Trade Wars.  Honestly, this man is as dumb as a fucking brick.  I do not doubt that in his tiny Adderall riddled brain he thinks this is a smart move.  He truly believes everything he does is a smart move.  We have this problem because he has surrounded himself with people who joyously shout "Yo!  Orangie, you're the smartest, most brilliant businessman in the world!"  He is a narcissist who basks in other people's deceitful compliments.  Truthfully, he is, and I'm going to repeat myself here, dumb as a fucking brick.

He also has a super big problem, maybe, as he might put it, the most monumental, super greatest problem in the world with Elonia, another man who is dumb as a fucking brick.  Elonia now has access to the Treasury.  Many think he's going to drain Social Security.  Nope.  As Elonia said some time ago, he wants to turn Zitter into a Financial Banking Service.  As a way of growing his wealth, Social Security payments will need to be process through Shitter, and he's going to charge Americans for this service... say 2%.  That means if you get a monthly Social Security payment of $2000, you're going to need to deduct $40 every month.  Over 71 million people collect Social Security.  That would mean Elonia would be pocketing almost $3 billion a month.  And he's going to do the same thing with your Income Tax refunds.  In fact, every payment the Federal Government makes will need to go through Shitter, and every payment is will need to pay a Service Fee.  Everything this administration does will be focused on Greed.  It's what these billionaires live for.
