Personally, even if such funds were available, could not countenance spending nearly $40K on a … purse. Not even a satchel. And what’s even funnier is that about 96 percent of that $40K purchase price is simply for the label. China plays chess as GrandMaster, while the Orange Menace keeps losing at Tic-Tac-Toe. Ha! This …
Steps to getting/staying debts free
Baby Burst
Apparently (heh, didjacatchthat?no?nevermind) the Rethuglicans are seriously worried re the lack of babies being born (among the horsewomen,a’cours). In the land of Dobbs, the SAVE Act, dismantling the Dept of Education (‘cept for collecting on default student loan debt), and efforts to end no-fault divorce … Don’t ever wonder. Here’s a suggestion … try universal …
Ownership, and Revenue … Slavery?
Not really. But kinda. Hmmm. Recently became a lurker on Reddit, familial cesspool of thought, opinion, and whatiffery. Fascinating lot, that. Particularly fond of the sub “AITA” … why yes, yes you are. Overwhelming so. Anyhoo, one sub discusses RTO, with the consensus almost universally WTAF. State workers in Texas, California, Minnesota, Ohio (oh Ohio) are …
True Blessing
Celebrated the arrival of theKid earlier this month … asked for a zombie VR experience (yehinorite) accompanied by a few friends. Cake, pizza, festivities and frivolities enjoyed by all. theKid gave a thumbs-up to the experience so feeling pretty validated. Breeding has its perks. Speaking of … recent stats indicate the US birthrate has fallen …
All Fall Down
2008 seems like a million years ago. The plandemic was just about five, and at this point those memories are sepia-toned. For ’25, looks like the ride is about to get bumpy — bumpier, to be truthful — and the expertverse is predicting a reshape of the economic landscape, a financial tectonic shift, one that …
Color Me (Un)Surprised
Guess always knew, what with the proof of history (see his NYC apartments in the 70’s) but … wow. Here’s a guy, born into segregation, witnesses the end of segregation, then acts to put it back. Wonder why he didn’t say he was going to do that on the campaign trail … hmmm, reasons. And …
Blackout
Oops. Seems the Ice Cream Social is a bit peeved, feeling a mite peckish, that lot. So today is the Economic Blackout … according to the medium of socials, the Ice Cream Social is imploring the membership to spend no cash, zero dollars on this day, flex a bit of economic might. TIL that the …
Clown Monkeys
This has officially become ridiculous. Would go shoot the poo-flinging monkey in the face but bullets be pricey. theKid asked for some random trinket-bauble-doodad on the thing with the stuff, said “yeh,” tried to process the magikal plastic and got denied. Wat. This is a six-figure household, waddaya mean “declined”? And to think this time …
Blanca Blanco
Griselda Blanco was the consummate Boss Bae in the late 80’s, early 90’s, turned Miami into the ultimate capital for booger sugar and bloodbaths. Rumor has it after being deported back to Medellín she was gunned down – get this – outside a butcher shop. Heh. GOD does like His irony. {Isaiah 3:11} Apparently, just …
Trading War
Well that seems like an evilitic idiot idea but gotta consider the source. Can’t say he didn’t keep his promise. Mexico, Canada, China, and – soon, possibly – the EU. Might as well just do a 100-percent tariff on everything from everywhere … what’s that Kings of Leon song “Radioactive”? Just drink the water … where …
