Your long suffering could be over-ish.
I've finally been granted the right of all humans to walk into convention halls. And no.. I'm not bothered or feel controlled. There really hasn't been much of interest, and the people out right now are so fricken thirsty. It's a lot.

Mortgage layoffs started about two weeks ago. Just so ya all know.
When you print 5 trillion dollars in two years, I'm guessing there are a lot of people swimming naked. I bet Obama is absolutely green with envy.
My very own new neighbor just paid 500k over asking. For a fixer upper. I just read about a house in Sunnyvale that went for a MILLION over.
Karma is a super crazy bitch, and you wanted her for a roommate.

Just one question...
How can the economy be strong when China has been shut down for nearly six weeks? Go.

Yesterday.... the restaurant I went to in Sacramento, told me they had taken their Ruben Sandwich off the menu because they didn't think anyone would pay 30 bucks for it.
I only found out because it was the very item I went there for.
I'd never been there before, but it was a mom and pops - so we both took more time to talk. It was nice to know those types of places recognize that we tried to save them. But they do notice it trailing off.
We are all tired at this point. We put up with growing pains at a time no one else was supporting them and they didn't really know how to run their businesses in that environment. Now we are growing a little tired of being "flexible". Not in a mean way....but if places don't have what you want...you won't come back.
They have been whipsawed like no other. Now this. I don't really know what is going to happen. Well.. I do.. but I don't want to admit it. But clearly Biden can't print any more money to save these business like in the pandemic.

Texas is going to be like California in no time.
I'm still on this Greg Abbot thing because it makes me laugh how thirsty these people are for losing.
The "Twitter Tax Break" was quite the thing back in 2014. They got entirely exempted from payroll taxes. This is not even to mention the rent grift.
It just makes me laugh how people think they are winning, but they are actually losing
Wednesday, April 27, 2022
The greatest hot take today is Gregg Abbott inviting Twitter to Texas so they can join Tesla, SpaceX, and the Boring Company.
All these morons have no idea the tax breaks Twitter got. All money losing companies. Tesla only makes money because they have carbon credits.
TAKE THEM ALL. It's gonna be funny when you find out how much it's gonna cost you.
Ridiculous virtue signaling. Such phonies.
And anyway... wasn't the governor of Florida just trying to sue Twitter because their stock price went down? Oh yeah. Here it is.
That's almost all the months.

This morning Mr S. texts me to say that the vending machine guy came in a changed all the prices.
Candy bars used to cost 50 cents, but now everything is 1.00, 1.50 or two dollars.
I don't know where candy bars come from, but this is inflation that can't be fixed right now. I know people think COVID is "seasonal", but that only means an infection for EVERY season. I don't understand how people think the economy is going to function with wave after wave of infection.

People should listen to themselves.
"The three scenarios I floated for the potential reason China was “overshooting the mark” with its draconian lockdowns were:
1. The CCP may be trying to usurp more power
2. There may be something about Covid that China knows that the rest of the world still doesn’t know
3. China is looking for an excuse to slow its production to put pressure on the Western world at a time when it is trying to separate further, economically, from the West"

FFSakes. Elon is as predictable as sunshine. He is just trying to distract everyone from the fact that his Shanghai plant has been shut down for three weeks. With no end in sight. Seems the "socialist" doesn't get to skirt the rules in China.
The rule of Silicon Valley is that if your sales are going to be light - muddy the waters by buying another company.
Also... Teslas are going up in price. All EV's are. Elon gets all manic like this when things get a little sketch.
However.......! It's pretty funny who gets out-ed when this asshole tries to buy them. The SAUDI's are censoring us? Fun to know who our masters are.

I finally found out how much that time capsule house across the street from me went for. You ready for it?
Slightly more than 1.5 MILLION dollars. 400 thousand over asking on a 1500 square foot house that was original in the 70s'.
I was wrong about everything. I just didn't think this insanity could keep going on. But I should just STFU and accept my house goes up in value 20% YOY. Said in the most sarcastic way.

What garbage.
I guess today I am allowed to re-enter society. Being unvaccinated I was not able to go into ANY government buildings, venues, and even some restaurants still. And you know what? I didn't even bitch about it because I'm probably the last person on earth to still believe in property rights.
If I wasn't allowed in - they didn't need my money. They can suck a bag of dicks. That is how capitalism works. And I don't think businesses can survive that way. But I love to watch them try.

I have a bad feeling that Biden is going to try price controls because he is not smart.
In his State of the Union address he was talking about capping the price of Insulin, and I turned to Mr S. and asked - did he just anounce price controls? The way he is demonizing oil companies right now, I bet he tries price controls.
But people wanted the kindly old illiterate man.
Told you.

More conversations with Mr S.
Last night Mr S. took me out to dinner. While there, he says - I want to talk to you about a post you made a couple of days ago.
I just smile and say okay. I knew which one he was talking about. Even I thought I was a bit hard.
He begins - I think you are being unfair.
Me - So you think if Russia rolled up we wouldn't just hand the country over?
Him - I think you are being a bit of a Karen. You are attributing people not wearing masks as people who don't care. They just don't think masks work.
Me - I understand that, but Republicans has become the biggest Karens' lately. We were like a week from dropping mandates and they saw Gavin Newsom without and went crazy. If you don't want people in your business - stay out of theirs. (And I'm not defending Newsom in ANY way) People are hypocrites. That's life.
Then he went on to talk about politicians making rules that they don't follow. Which is fair, but it isn't just with politicians. It's with everyone.
I've been super frustrated with Republicans because I think they have just become everything they claim to hate. But .......it's ALWAYS good to have people around you, who are brave enough to tell you that you are wrong. I still think I'm not, but...it doesn't mean I'm not willing to listen.

Everybody back to the office!
The average price for unleaded regular gasoline has hopped past $5 in Napa County, Sonoma County, San Francisco, Marin County and San Mateo County, according to the AAA gasoline survey for the Bay Area, as of 7 a.m. on Thursday.
Santa Clara County, Alameda County, Contra Costa County and Solano County were no more than a few pennies away from the forbidding $5 benchmark, AAA reported.
Alameda County average prices were at $4.999 a gallon Thursday morning.
Jumpers be savage.
The force is strong.

Conversations with Mr S.
Last night I turn to Mr S. and ask him if Kamala went full Dan Quayle.
He just sort of looks at me.
Me - Hawaii is in the Pacific. It's an island that is right here.
He busts up laughing. I had completely forgotten about that he said. I'm like really? We'd get high and and repeat it over and over. It was a meme back in the day.
This is what Quayle said: "Hawaii has always been a very pivotal role in the Pacific. It is in the Pacific. It is a part of the United States that is an island that is right here."
This is what Kamala said: “So, Ukraine is a country in Europe. It exists next to another country called Russia. Russia is a bigger country. Russia is a powerful country. Russia decided to invade a smaller country called Ukraine."
Oddly...late last year the media was comparing Kamala to Dan Quayle. (Even our own Mercury News interestingly.) So I guess she has grown into her role. But no one has really connected the two statements.

What the hell has happened to Republicans?
Sunday, February 27, 2022
It's pretty refreshing to see what a real battle for freedom looks like after two solid years of American "freedom" wars. Ukrainians are willing to lay down their lives for their fellow man. Americans are like nah - not my problem.
If Russia was doing the same troop build up on America's borders - people would say it was fear porn, and that dictators were always going to want to invade us. There is nothing we can do about it. We just have to accept it. We would just shoot each other and just hand over the country.
If CORONA was a battlefield, and it is, we are leaving solidly two thousand people on the battlefield EVERY single day. 60 THOUSAND people a month. An enviable number for a war. Any aggressor would love numbers like that. And Americans are like - Leave them. Let's move on! Who cares.
I hope Americans start seeing the bigger picture. Finally. The future of our nation depends on it.
