Nah, ya don't say,

Haven't understood why union workers don't understand that the Democrat party traded them, and their jobs, in for elites, global economies, and enviro-fascists at least 25 years ago. Dems just figure they get worker's and minority votes by default. And they appear to be correct. Sad.

The right is the only part of the political spectrum where an American worker can find any support. Maybe.

I will never forget Glen Beck's review of Obama's Dreams of My Father 15 years ago. In the portion where Obama is discussing redistribution of wealth, Glen observed that Obama wasn't really talking about The Rich, he was talking about ordinary Americans (ya know, his constituents), because, from his perspective, we're all The Rich, globally speaking.

Deja Vu
I am ending up with more defective items purchased online.
When I contact the vendor I am getting the same old bull shit excuses I got prior to previous recessions.
1) The "return window" time has expired.
2) We don't send RMA labels. Just send it to us and we will make a determination.
3) Contact the manufacturer. Amazon has side stepped any type of return or warranty. Na Da

I saw this, historically, preceding recessions. Now, sellers have wised up early and are clearing inventory without taking anything back.
That's OK, I will survive. My plan is to just not buy things that will fail. Electronics are # 1 on my list.
I'm sure I am not the only American making adjustments.
Things will be getting worse.

    I bought a hamburger press recently. I didn't use it for a couple of months. When I did, I found that it created hamburger wedges, not flat patties.

    I gave a bad review and the seller contacted me and said they will send a call tag for me to return it. The also stated they would send one that was checked and working correctly.

    I asked them to send me the new one and I would use the packaging to send them back the defective unit. I went back and forth a couple of times and at one point they said they would send me a replacement when they received more. I told them to send me one when it came in and I would send back the defective one when I received the replacement. Their reply... that's against our policy.

    This ain't my first rodeo, so it's out to the shop to modify the one I have to press flat.

    I trusted them to send me a working machine, and they didn't. Now they don't trust me to send back the defective merchandise? 'F YOU. The bad review stands.

    You know you have a perfectly suitable hamburger press at the end of each forearm.

    The same hand that presses that burger will also be pullin' a trigger. Just a matter of time.
    Patience.. Keep your powder dry.
    While waiting I am perfecting my stir fry skills. Little heat required, no electronics, chop sticks eating right out of the wok....
    Use ingredients out the garden, protean can be apple fed deer / quail / chicken or what ever presents itself.
    It will get worse.

    There is always some virus that comes out of nowhere. Especially near the equator. Or in high population centers that are proximal to forests. It’s a part of life and death. That seems callous, but it is one of those facts of life. Trying to scare everyone into an MRNA vaccine because two dudes died, while not ideal, is not a pandemic. It’s an occurrence. We need to know and understand the difference.

    You people need help. Not sure what kind, but damn.

    In our defense… you did click on snipers hide. You clicked on “the Bear Pit.” And you clicked on “porta John.”

    With greatest respect, what did you expect?? A Billy Graham revival in here??”

    Triple volunteer… always ends up with the best and the weirdest!

    Even with a full-MAGA administration in charge after 2024, finding and deporting all of those who are already here will be an absolute logistical and coordination nightmare.

    Easy, make it a felony with a 25k fine and mandatory 6 months in jail to hire any undocumented worker. Full stop. If you cannot verify that a worker is eligible to work, better not chance it.

    Also zero help, nada, zip for any non-citizen. Don’t come here legally or illegally if you can’t support yourself.

    Sadly the employers are handicapped by the legal system. If a person supplies a legal id it's on the government and the E Verify system to notify the company whether the person is eligible to work or not. Many companies have been sued for discrimination for not hiring. There's no shortage of lawyers looking for a payday for these people.
    Then you have the company that can't get wy ppl or blk ppl to get off the couch and actually work.
    Eliminate the welfare and bogus disability and the lawyers will be like white on rice to stop that from happening.
    Seeing the common denominator?
    What do you call a room full of lawyers up to their necks in concrete? Not enough concrete

    If the government ever flips on illegal immigrants (and I'm not holding my breath) they will say that the only efficient way to keep track and deport everyone who doesn't belong here is to insert microchips.

    The illegals won't stand in line for their microchip. It will be the citizens. "After all," they will contend, "you won't ever have to worry about carrying an ID, drivers license, birth certificate or passport. Just scan your hand at the gate and walk on through."

    I'm not saying that I agree with it but that's what will be in the minds of some of our political masters. Now shut up and get back to working in the fields where you belong, peasants.

    There's a plan and it is not the politicians idea. They are just tools for the evil behind the curtain.
    A few days without food and water will have a majority standing in line for the mark. Greater than 75% of the worlds population just took an experimental injection for less. When your money is digital you're at the mercy of the benevolent government. Mao, Stalin, Hitler killed millions as has the USA. Don't be disillusioned because it was wrapped up in the stars and stripes
