Holy Crap! The outside temp was 16 (F) when I woke up this morning! Even though forecasters only predicted yesterday's high to be in the low to mid 20s (F), it actually climbed up to 28 (F), and today they are telling us that we're supposed to hit the low 30s (F). Knowing that the change in weather patterns is effected by the Earth's rotation, I'm wondering if this Polar Vortex is going to continue across the Atlantic. If it does, people in the Europe prepare yourselves, it's a real cold biter.
The new thermostat is working well. It's toasty in my house, well, except for the living room which has always had a bit of a winter chill. That has more to do with a lack of insulation, something that did not exist when the house was built in 1905, than anything else. To be perfectly honest, you only really notice it when we have subzero weather.
Work yesterday was ho hum heh. The full time associate had customers. I didn't. Not that I had a problem with that. They have me scheduled for 22 hours for the next few weeks, but then in the 2nd week of February I'm down to 17. Years ago, when I was first hired as a part-time cashier, the February doldrums meant I might get 5 hours a week. This is not a good time to be a part-time cashier.
So, tell me, do you think Howie did something bad?
So the Orange Anus has set up a DEI snitch line. If you're a bitter white person who believes that your company or organization is hiring People of Color instead of white people, you can send a snitch email accusing them of... what? Racism? I saw several bits about this yesterday, all of which included that detestable email address so good, American citizens could flood, and hopefully crash the website.
Orangie's administration has also put a freeze on hiring minorities because they feel it is so much better to give an unqualified white person that job. I don't know what the number is, but quite a few People of Color working for the Federal Government have been put on paid leave. In case you think this is just a temporary problem, don't, this is the work of that white supremacist Stevie Miller and that apartheid Aryan Elonia. Every time Orangie makes an appearance, he tends to lose incoherence. While this continues, the unemployment rate is going to constantly increase as these decent human beings lose their livelihoods. This adds to the Chaos, and let me remind you again, Wall Street hates Chaos. Wall Street hates unemployment because that means people who aren't earning wages are not spending money. Wall Street needs people to spend money. Conservative stupidity has always crushed the economy, and it's doing it again. Jaime Dimon, a billionaire douche if there ever was one, said yesterday that Americans are just going to have to get used to paying higher prices. Here's a note to Jaime, people can't spend it if they don't have it.
