The machines got tired of being yelled at.
Today I found out that the bots have starting calling people who answer your questions "consultants" on phone trees now. Which is not nearly as satisfying to scream into the phone as OPERATOR! Nothing makes me as fighting mad as phone trees. Colossal waste of time.
When I told Mr S of this new development he said - well yeah, they got tired of being yelled at. Next they will call themselves "conversation artists."
Try screaming that into a phone. It ~is~ sort of so ridiculous that it takes the mad out of it.

What makes me laugh today is.....
Texas and the Conservatives clucking about how Oracle/HP/ and Tesla are moving there. Pro tip - We aren't sending you our best! And Texas is acting like it's the score of the century. So funny. You can have these dinosaurs. Obviously Tesla is not a dinosaur, they are just a welfare queen. Good riddance.
Oh but wait - Schwab is also moving there. So surely I am wrong. Nope - that's another loser. Revenue down 19%.

This is how delusional this market is.
I was talking to this guy I know and he tells me his stocks aren't doing well all of a sudden. I tell him - be really careful - the market is at an all time high. Which of course he shrugs off because I'm always telling people to be careful. I'm fine with it.
Then he says, if I lose money on these spec stocks it will only be a couple grand. Then he goes...."I missed out on Doordash. It got too high".
I'm like - Doordash is exactly why you should be nervous. It's flashing a huge warning sign for the economy. Of course he looks at me puzzled. So I go on.
All of these restaurants are closing! - I say.
He replies - yeah, but you can even have McDonalds Doordashed these days.
Me - Have you seen the McDonalds drive through line lately? In San Fransisco 60% of the restaurants have just closed. Whatever percent of nothing.... is still nothing!
As a side note - the ONLY restaurant I see thriving is Chikfila. It's crazy honestly. Landlords are suing them because their parking lots are unusable due to the lines.
One place I frequent in my city shut down the last quarantine. I was JUST in there on Sunday and they said they were going to stay open. Literally four days later they told me they were thinking about hibernating. Which is the new restaurant trend to stay alive. You shut down and preserve capitol. I personally think the just the propane costs would make things untenable right now. Hibernation is probably less expensive.
All I know is that everybody is in the water and specs are going to get killed. Literally every stock I look at these days is up 100 percent this year if not more. This is fucking ridiculous and it going to end in tears. I don't know how.....but everyone is completely oblivious to fear because apparently money DOES grow on trees. Contrary to what my family told me.

I think I'm really mad at Republicans.
I want to start by saying that I think Trump was robbed. I also think if it wasn't a close election they wouldn't have been able to manufacture the outcome.
I don't love everything he says, but I think MAGA people got over confident and kinda became assholes. I think the whole COVID denial thing turned off a lot of people who might have crossed the isle.
Most importantly I think they lost sight of the true freedom they are losing. It is so infantile to complain about masks when Joe Biden is a puppet for China. He has been since I was a kid. Hilary and Joe sold military secrets to China every since I can remember!
Anyone who doesn't think China is a threat - look at what going on with China v Australia! They are buying up islands and then baring Australians from living on them for fucks sakes. I will try to find the link. It was a few days ago.
Those countries have no backup now. They wouldn't have been snippy with China if it wasn't for Trump. The only way these countries gain a backbone is with American support.
I'm just pissed.
My Aunt has been in the hospital almost the entire pandemic. She went in around April. I never thought she would make it out as the floors filled up with Covid patients. They saved her and she was scheduled to be released.
But......she came into contact with someone who was infected - BECAUSE SHE'S IN A HOSPITAL, and now she is doing her best impression of that guy who lived in an airport for a while. She is in quarantine in the hospital. Bet you didn't know that could happen. Me neither.
She's scheduled to be released around Christmas if she doesn't get re-quarantined. And hopefully some asshole won't kill her after she gets out.
The absurdity of it all.

Pretty fun to see Disney almost hitting an all time high when they are laying off 30,000 people. Said in the most sarcastic way.

Nothing matters until it does.
I would be lying if I didn't say I was really disappointed in my party. Everyone acting out was a complete distraction that could have been used to tell these dummies the good things Trump has accomplished. Like save their houses. I don't think the Republicans did anything to help Trump. It's really frustrating. Everything he has done is going to be wiped out. And it turns out the swamp was just vacationing in Cancun.
This economy is so effing levered up, and backdoor Bernie is going to raise taxes on everyone. And I'm gonna laugh when people start losing their houses. Because they should have thought of that shit.
Student loan delinquencies are lower than before the pandemic. As are credit card delinquencies, car delinquencies, and foreclosures. Credit scores have actually gone up! Read:

Audit California.
I was right about California. Biden wasn't going to win in a landslide. When I took this shot Trump got 34.06% of the vote. Now it's up to 34.20%. Funny it's not easy to get this same information from Google. I had to use Bing.

I guess I'm going to wade back in....
At the risk of alienating EVERYONE.
I haven't been writing down my thoughts the past few months because I'm just frustrated. I was hoping by now the election would be over and I could talk openly without getting harassed by people in my own party.
I'm extremely frustrated that we are 9/10 months into this virus and we are still fighting about the exact same exact shit. This whole thing has just turned into a fuck you - no FUCK YOU - match. And I get it. As a Republican in CaliforniaI understand being mistreated by the other side. But the last few months ~our~ side has just been obnoxious. And I can't figure out who they belong to. Never Trumpers, anti vaxers, tea party. I'm not sure. But, Trump was the only candidate that could have pulled from both parties, and this behavior turned a lot off people. No one could have possibly believed the virus was a hoax and that it was going away without a vaccine. Right? It defies common sense! Everyone could see with their stupid eyes this wasn't going away.
For a group that talks about their "freedom" to not wear a mask, it's become depressingly clear that property rights are completely dead. I wouldn't dream of stepping on someones' property and not abiding by their rules. And I guess I feel like if you think wearing a mack infringes on your freedom, you don't quite understand what freedom is about.
I'm honestly pissed that Trump didn't get out in front of this virus issue and say - this virus is serious, but thankfully manageable. Do the responsible thing. That he even let this be a talking point for the Dems is fucking irritating. The whole thing has been a fucking distraction that could have been used to beat Biden around the head about selling America out to every other fucking nation. I honestly didn't even think this guy had a chance. And yes I do believe in voter fraud. Every single person believes in voter fraud until their guy is winning. If he just would have told people to follow protocols, we could have all voted in person.
And then finally.... if Trump doesn't prevail with recounts, not a single person on earth has been talking about this economy. It's like we are living a fever dream. Trump has thrown everything financially at this economy including the kitchen sink. I would dare say that he has printed more money than Obama now and it is so deeply irritating because if people would just fucking stop acting out we could try to get back to some type of normal. I railed at Obama for eight fucking years over this kind of money printing. And now people just think it's normal. Bush really did destroy capitalism.
Biden is never going to be able to reproduce the enthusiasm that Trump is able to produce. What financial runway does he even have?! And he gets to try to shut down the country because people couldn't fucking act right.

I think it's safe to say that Californians ruined Nevada. Georgia and Arizona.
On the flip side..... California voting was the most rational I've ever seen it. They voted down rent control and affirmative action. And when I say "they" of course I vote but what I think doesn't matter. Obvi.
On the whole I was shocked those didn't pass. But glad. Again Obvi.
