Bluntness

I've also been told I have little tact, so if this offends you simply ride on.

Stomping the Big Lie

 Yesterday was very slow at work.  And, as usual, the day ended with rain.  That's right.  We got more rain.  Storms that turned into momentary downpours, and then drizzles well into the night.  And today as well.  And tomorrow, too.  Yesterday at work someone else mentioned that we were turning into a rainforest.  Our visions are dissimilar in that he pictures people kayaking up streets and trees on rooftops, while mine had more do with continuous rainfall and swarms of mosquitos.

I saw where Amazon is raising  the starting rate for many of its workers to $18 an hour.  I don't know what positions are covered, but if that's true, something's changing.  Our starting rate of pay falls short of that mark.  Some of our positions do hit the $15 per hour, but most do not.

And Space X launched civilians into space yesterday.  The ticket price was hefty, but they can afford to spend the money.  Space tourism.  Who would have thought?  Serious exploration is not far off.  China wants to put men on the moon.  Russia's talking about building their own space station (the Chinese already have one in orbit, though no one talks about it).  India is launching probes to Mars.  This is our future.


And what about Nicki Manij?  I know the name, that's about it, but her anti-vaxxer stance, relying on some sort of conspiracy shit about one man's swollen testicles demonstrates stupidity at it's worst.  And now she's laughingstock, which might not help her career much.

Another amusing bit is that out in California Larry Elder conceded his loss rather than rely on a variation of the Bit Lie.  This does not make him any less of a loser, however, the really big loser was the Orange Anus who was desperately hoping to damage the Democrats.  Because of the Republican's failed recall, Democrats now have a decent playbook on how to beat them in 2022, other than just stomping the shit out of the Big Lie.

  1. Wow, $18/hour sure sounds like a lot as a starting wage but good luck to them. In the UK now there is a shortage of truck drivers of between 70-100,000 drivers exacerbated by Brexit. I was amazed to hear how little so many drivers were paid previously for such long hours and uncomfortable work but if they can now get a decent wage, again good luck to them. I know we consumers end up paying for it further down the line but it most definitely is an employee's market at the moment!

    1. Over here many truckers make really good money, Personally, I wouldn't want the job.

  2. We haven't had rain for awhile. I noticed all the plants are a little wilted. Even the invincible hostas.
    And I think Amazon did without some other things it used to offer employers when it raised the wages. Corporations NEVER lose.
    And the defeat was quite big for that idiot in CA, so the Big Lie would not work. But Elder is now the face of the GQP in the state.
    Nicki was an idiot. When Fucker Clarkson and Candace Owens retweet you...

    XOXO

    1. From what I've been reading, this is not the first time she's been sounding like a horse's ass.

  3. Nikki is trying to take the light away from the fact that she is an anti-vaxxer and, more importantly, that her husband made be headed back to prison for failing to register as a sex offender after a recent move.

    Nicki doesn't think rules apply to her.

    1. And at this point in her life, learning something new is doubtful.

  5. The Big Lie will be with us for a while. Even today the PA State Senate is issuing subpoenas to get vital voter information. The Big Lie probs won't lose momentum until the former guy is planted 6 feet under.

    1. As a PA guy, those subpoenas are never going to make it past the state supreme court.
