Motherfucker! I said to myself as I hit my left toe yet again on furniture a couple of days ago. I examined the movement that led me there and it seemed involuntary, like a tic. I had took a stroll around the apartment and sort of involuntarily leaned into the motion. Even with shoes, the left toe pain makes a person curse another’s mother. Incest thankfully is still legal in one and a half American states. Rhode Island is so tiny it barely registers and certainly doesn’t count. Meanwhile New Jersey is the most densely populated state in America. Ohio is well… Oh-hi-oh. Incest marriage is illegal in all 50 states. Sort of a strange little legal loophole — we’ll allow sex between consenting adults but marriage is a bridge too far.
Two years ago or so I’ve had to get that left toenail completely removed and I was surprised by how long it took to regrow. I genuinely wonder sometimes how the cavemen did it. No nail clippers, no hair cutters, no shaving cream, no razors, no utensils, pots, pans — none of the comforts of modern day living. Some of you have sent me your thoughts… or your thoughts managed to filter through the rather perverse security my brain has. “Damn bro” went one of those thoughts, “if you take the PayPal Mafia’s holdings and you combine them with the Maven Mafia's power and holdings and then you add in the Trump Mafia…” the thought continued “they got mining, oil and gas, hotels, crypto, Elon Inc, Thiel Inc, Pentagon Inc and more…”
I have written this before and I continue to believe this, I think Trump is deeper undercover than I am. But then I read articles about some gas project in Alaska where all the top brass resigned because the project was being controlled by a Russian firm linked to Trump. I mean, the guy is busy, running America and his various ventures. It’s really amazing, I can barely write essays…he continues to build entire companies I had never heard of before, while running America. Really boss? I mean… with the Russians? And you couldn’t even find decent people from that Russian village in Alaska?
Then again, I’ve been writing a lot about Russia too and one of my roommates pointed out that the “P” on my red T-shirt resembled the hammer and sickle from Russia.
My T-shirt only has the P. This one has the entire name of the brand. Ever since I bought those, I started reading Pravda.ru and buying Russian groceries. I had genuinely not noticed the resemblance to the symbol of the Russian military (hammer and sickle). But before you accuse me of being a Russophile please note that I have never read Lenin, Tolstoy or Dostoevsky. I can’t read music and my chess playing is miserable. The only European country I have visited is Norway (Oslo) for a business meeting. I have never been to Alaska either. I have however been to a Russian banya in Pennsylvania several times. There is a large Russian immigrant community in America is what I am trying to say.
Speaking of buying items on Amazon, they have an entire TV & Video tab and a lot of the products there are Chinese.
Hisense is an old Chinese company, from 1969, it’s a semi-state company and it has direct connections to the CCP leadership. It is heavily subsidized. Always sort of wonder if TVs have cameras. Sort of like Echo from Amazon can hear everything. My Apple laptop was probably made in Taiwan, the Echo was “Assembled in Vietnam” and the apartment provided a Roku TV. I do own one American product though: my Bolt EV from Chevy.
Still not too late people to buy a used EV. A guy I met at the EVGo charging station gave me the scoop on a $12.99/month plan from EVGo that allows subscribers to charge their EV anytime from early morning to 4pm. Peak electricity costs are after 4pm. Still $12/mo total for the cost of driving is ridiculously cheap.
Federal Reserve Notes in the Margin:
Please note for your CPI calculations. Instead of calculating the cost of transportation for most Americans you can substitute this plan and show that inflation in America is not rising.
I mean if you want to show low inflation, just talk to a poor person. They’ll tell you how to survive. Otherwise you should stick to the 1980 baskets if your intention is to truthfully report what is happening to that basket over time. Should I use the word God here, Onion? Maybe they’ll listen? I’ll be fun and funnier.
