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 Montgomery Bus Boycott lasted 381 days.  That’s a lot of pissed. 
And so much so all the way here for it.

Half remains skeptical, says (first) no way enough folks are going to abstain from spending and (second) even if so, nothing will really come of it because folks are going to do big shopping on Saturday, so there’s that.  And because Half is cynical and resigned, Half went out and bought gas today. 

However, tho’ altho’ matrimonially-linked to that cynical and resigned nature, one must toss in a healthy dollop of petty so other half understood the assignment and bought nothing.

Color me optimistic … seems like they have been the target of the Orange ire, the hostile focus of the Trumpiots … just fired the JCOS chair, AF Gen. CQ Brown, replaced him with (surprise surprise) some random horseman discovered behind a dumpster who (surprise surprise) possesses none of the qualifications for the role … just another DEI hire – Dangerously Entitled & Inept – thrust into  position of power due solely to the lack of any discernible pellis color … caro melanin … umbrae brunneae. 

Seriously a shame, tho’, because with the Purge ’24 exits much institutional knowledge, and when the next 9/11 – but bigger, longer, badder and uncut – hits, going to be interesting to see who gets blamed.  Because the singular consistency of this administration?  The buck stops anywhere but there.

Anyhoo … good way to stay out of debt … the debt of consumerism … but GOD already said that. 
“Don’t spend.”  Let’s just leave that there.
