Methinks I should fully acknowledge that without Half and steady income, homelessness (houselessness? unhousedness?) is a very real possibility. There was some statistic somewhere that claimed nearly half of Americans are a single paycheck away from the street. Really? Just one? Not quite there yet … got some assets to pawn, some goods to hock, …
End of Month
Well that was a bummer … onto debt! May have mentioned around these parts that Half and the other half have an … untraditionally traditional lifestyle. See, Half handles the life/life-sustaining obligations (mortgage, lights, heat, cable/internet — which, funnily enough, is the highest bill after shelter … go figure who knew) and me, the other …
And The End Continues …
This is beautiful. Wisconsin is a right-to-work state (thank you, Scott Walker), meaning anybody can be fired for any reason (few exceptions) without explanation, notice, or recourse. So, back in January 2022 a hospital system in Wisconsin (Hospital #Dumb) lost a high number of employees to a local competitor (Hospital #Yes) … better pay, better …
Single Payer Doomsdayer
This is great! I love on this so hard. Apparently, the US Senator from WVA managed to squash the first real legislation from Congress that might — stress: might — have made a difference in how humans treat the only planet they can live on en masse. Nice. This guy gets more $$$ from selfish …
Unlicensed Whoobanging
There is some good news, sort of. Bad-guy killer kills two in an Indiana mall before getting killed by a good-guy killer. Death in the Food Court. How très Americana. Apparently, the police are very grateful to an armed civilian being armed and … “putting down” an active shooter. AND and a WVA CCW woman …
Infotainment
Not a big fan of the news these days. Too much opinion, not enough fact. And it’s sad that it’s both sides … and that there are even sides, I mean, what happened, happened, right? Not necessarily. Faux News claims the treasonous insurrection of Jan 6th was just ‘Murricans exercising their rights to “Stop the …
Born Debtor
Just recently theKid told me I smelled “sus.” I have no idea what that means. That’s not entirely true … word comprehension is important, and “sus” is modern-speak for “suspicious” … as in Among Us “sus.” See, I’m hip. I’m down. I’m funky. Extremely so, apparently (heh). Anyhoo theKid’s comment provoked a thought … about …
Soil & Water
I knew I didn’t need to worry about it! Debt concerns are so cliché passé … Found a fun little sciencey fact …in about, oh say, 60 years the human population will starve to death, or turn Soylent Green, because the dirt in which we grow our food won’t have enough nutrients in it to …
Elite Debtor
Recently had the realization that I am a debtor elitist … high income, higher debts, highest entitlement. Ugh. I did not recognize me as that person. Mirror, meet face. A Reddit post asked for stories about toxic employers. One person said the request for time off had been placed a year in advance of a …
Hard Monkey Balls
Whelp, just heard back re one of my monkeys, the one currently headlining the circus. It’ll take less in debt satisfaction, but way more than I originally thought. Well pooh on that. Not really but yes really … was hoping for a better … negotiation. Dunno why; it isn’t as if I could argue that …
