Current State of Affairs

    I am concerned. "Concerned" is a medical term that can mean anything from slightly worried to outright hysteria. The word is a Spocked-up, Vulcanized colloquialization, meant to make you think that doctors don't stand in rest rooms and scream their lungs out. Well, maybe not at work, but at home in the shower.

   Anyway, I am *concerned*. Coronavirus has literally split itself in new ways once again, and Monkeypox has mutated the ability to survive and transmit from surfaces. As of 07/06/2022 we are looking over a cliff that we cannot survive. We have no way to clamber back up the hill. Why? The production and distribution of vaccinations is too slow. Doctors refuse to follow through to complete diagnosis. People are dying because of the insurance system. And I am running out of my favorite vape juice.  

My credit number is about to take a dive, I need to give away my cats and dog, and I have to move into a hovel in order to survive. Bankruptcy is soon to come, with a two year fight to clean up my act. After that - will there be an "after that"? Will I make it that long? 

The economy is close to recession, and I am becoming older by the minute. Were I young and able to hold 3 jobs I might not worry so much - if I could romance some computer geek to share the burden, things might look brighter. For now, though, I council you all to take heed: Do as I do. Get a smaller, more affordable place. Share it if you have to. Buy rice, bulgar wheat, sugar, pastas, canned goods, even tinned milk and meat. Think trade goods, too, like tuna, liverwurst, deviled ham, chicken, beef, salmon, clams, asparagus, fruit cocktail, coconut milk, spices in paste like curry, soy sauce, you name it. It should be well sealed or canned. 

Personally, I plan to leave the country in two years. Going bye bye for South America. Why? Cheaper. As cheap as you can get. I speak Spanish. It fits. Not saying where, though. You can try Uruguay. It's pretty nice there. I may try it. Dunno. But America is too frenzied. I need someplace quiet to grow a nice garden and settle in. Maybe invite the family. 

I pray that you and I can make it for two more years. 2023 is going to suck. 2024 will be worse. Get your collective asses in gear. Soon.

CNN Reports Lies About B5 Outbreak:

 >(CNN)Official Covid-19 case metrics severely undercount the true number of infections, leaving the United States with a critical blind spot as the most transmissible coronavirus variant yet takes hold. >The Omicron offshoot BA.5 became the dominant variant in the US last week, according to data from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the subvariant carries key mutations that help it escape antibodies generated by vaccines and prior infection, aiding its rapid spread. >But to look at official case counts, it's hard to tell. >The share of cases that are officially reported is at an "all-time low," said Dr. Michael Mina, an epidemiologist and chief science officer at telehealth company eMed. "There's no doubt about that." **This could be changed. Implement a reporting system. People love to tell their stories. Let them. Ask for a pertinent data, such as exposure, symptoms, and time to onset of symptoms. Offer support,  monitori...

My Raise Got Me Nothing

 Did you ever notice that $15 per hour (which was fought for in several states as the base wage) now gets you just about the same as $8 did before the fight to get it raised?  Yup. Corporate greed found a way to make up for that measly $7 raise, and then make it even worse (payback is a b*tch, right?)  I have not eaten a balanced breakfast in 10 years. I consume a cup of coffee made at home or at work, a can of soup or small sandwich for lunch, and a one-bowl dinner consistimg of either salad, pasta, or rice.  I have found myself salivating at the idea of a meat-based meal, but rarely get it unless a friend offers it, or I break my budget to splurge once in a while. The closest I come to meat in my diet is the ground meat in jarred pasta sauce, or the tiny chunks of chichen that come with packaged ramen. My meals cost $5 or less (Usually around $2.50-$3.00). Years ago I was able to spend $10 on a good meal, and that was considered frugal.  I am barely able to su...

Gov DeSantis Mimics "His People's" Language

    I've noted that Gov. DeSantis of Florida has taken to mimicry in order to gain the attention of the imbeciles that reside here.  Take for instance this recent discussion about gender-neutral terms regarding abortion that were adopted recently by Washington:  “Some of the people in Washington, like, can we actually agree that women get pregnant and not men? Because they don’t seem to say that,” DeSantis said. “It’s just unbelievable, some of the stuff that you’re hearing about that.” The man comes off like Moonunit. You remember, Frank Zappa's daughter, as recorded in the hit song, "Valley Girl"?  It's not as though he dropped out if high school - the man has a college degree! Why can't he speak like an intelligent adult?  If he wished to make his thoughts known in American English (as taught in our schools), the quip should have been as follows:  “I have recently heard that some of the people in Washington have been using terms like 'people capable...
