Autorama 2022

 

This is my entire car jam. Giant fenders. Brushed metal.

 

I should have gotten my bokeh on with this shot. it already looks miniaturized.

 

They had Eric Estrada this year.... and he was the kindest celebrity I've seen maybe ever. They usually make money on taking photos and signatures. So, they usually have a minder blocking people from taking shots that haven't been paid for. But he was welcoming to everyone and seemed just the kindest and warm. I don't know the girl in the photo.

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

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.

Remember that time the government printed so much money that people paid 20% more for houses in a pandemic? Good times.

Exactly

Allegedly they are going to show off the new DeLorean at Pebble Beach in August.

The funny thing about this is I hate to death the old DeLorean. I don't get the appeal. Nothing makes me be in more misery than to roll up to a car show with DeLoreans. But, the sneak peaks of the new one aren't bad.

It is going to be a very fun earnings season. Said in the most sarcastic way. I think Russia was something like 7% of the global economy. I thought everyone knew about the mutually assured destruction of isolating countries.

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.

Finally... the training wheels are off.

I'm finding the screaming about the mask mandate (on both sides) funny. On side is celebrating and the other is like - the government is pushing all the responsibility onto individuals. Which I agree with honestly. I just know that Americans wouldn't know what self responsibility is - even if it hit them right in the face.  Our country excels are shifting personal responsiblity. So, you guys go on with your bad selves.

I do want to say however that there is starting to be a lot of chatter about COVID damaging your immune system. It would be in everyones best interest to get this as few times as possible. 

The PERSISTANT rumor is that this virus was made from SARS and AIDS.  When the rumor came out in March 2020 or so, I was very skeptical and didn't quite understand it. But AIDS also destroys your immune system. It seems COVID does the same.

Now... you can believe me or not.  But don't say someone didn't warn you, because our government is MIA or trying to kill us. I'm not sure which.

Also - cases have been rising for 16 days in a row. But barely any States are counting anymore, so your risk factor is completely unknown. I just find it hilarious. But people love this incompetence.

People should listen to themselves.

Chinese Lockdowns Expand, Raising More Questions About Beijing's Motives For Shutting Down.

"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"

The writer of the article of course chooses #3 as the reason for the shutdowns. I'm choosing number 2.

Let's say this author is right. It is number three. China doesn't have to shut down entire cities to achieve this goal. The financial toll China is taking is not logical. With all these cities shut down, China isn't making money. Now, why would China injure themselves that way to prove to the West that we need them? China already hold ALL of the cards. 

Additionally - people are not just being locked down. They are being bussed to isolation cities and forced out on the daily for tests. One day an entire fleet of busses will show up and take a whole building away! ALL OF THIS COSTS MONEY! The entire cities being built to isolate people.

I genuinely watch this every night and think - China is going to collapse. When the Ukraine thing happened and everyone was was like - China and Russia are going to team up. I just laughed because China is no position to team up on ANYTHING.

If you don't believe me..... just take a stroll through China's Real Estate situation. Our media isn't covering it, but property developers are defaulting left and right.

But.... it is funny what the brain will try to erase when it doesn't want to deal with reality. China knows something about that virus because it was made in their lab!

Working weekend.

This has been my entire weekend. Sink replacement.

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.

The source of your depression propaganda.

Most managers said they'd fire workers or cut pay for not returning to the office.

Every time I read a story like this - I don't care how high gas prices get. This is the world people want.

Before the pandemic, the thing employees wanted most was " a work life balance". Then all of a sudden the pandemic hit and everyone was depressed. so sad. I personally thought the whole thing was bullshit. But media and corporations got together and put out this ridiculous narrative. And oh - the Republicans didn't help at all because they are out there mocking people for working in their pajamas. Despite productivity going up over the pandemic.  Because these babies can't handle their shit - now people have to sit in traffic.

I figured out last November that this whole fantasy was coming to an end because of managers. I have blogged out it at least twice. Here and Here. Managers have nothing to do if everyone is at home. well... not nothing - but who are they going to lord over really?

I haven't been saying much... because managers are also in that group who doesn't think mitigations are necessary.  So... since this boulder is not movable - you just wait for them to get sick. I mean, 80 people from the White House dinner have popped up positive. 13%! The flu definitely does that. Said in the most sarcastic way.

Funnily enough I was reading an article yesterday about how everyone was plowing into SECOND houses because they thought they were going to get to work from home forever. And I laughed and laughed and laughed.

At least Australia is having an honest conversation.

Link to watch video.

America prefers pretty little lies. Honestly, I think that's why we are here right now. America asked the government how to fix the virus and they said - we don't know. Then America said - well .. just lie to us! So they did. And here we are.

I didn't get the vax because I've had Bells Palsy. I've talked about it many times. I had it long enough that I wasn't sure if I was going to return to normal. You never know how many muscles you have in your mouth until they all go numb. Right down the middle of my mouth. It was like someone drew a line. On one side I could feel, on the other I couldn't, And it suuuuuuuuucked every time you ate.

The side effects sort of outweigh the length of virus protection you get. And I'm not telling anyone not to vax. I believe in vaccination. Just not this one.

Sadly, team herd immunity is going to have their own moment. "It's just a cold" is going to turn into - it's just a little heart problem".

It's really sad what this country has been through. It was a spectacular hatedemic. People just ready to off anyone they didn't like. I mean, I am still in it for the politicians. How else are we going to get them out,. 

Also.. I ran across one of my old posts where I say I didn't think lockdowns work. From May 2020.

If I go crazy then will you still call me superman?

This video is still up.

This is China a few days ago.  I guess they are dispensing with this ridiculousness of putting people in hospital beds. Just put them in a box, and when they die, just put a lid on.

 It's just hard to see the beauty in the world right now. The only things to share are just awful.

Fingers crossed.

A lot of positives coming out of the White House lately. And every time I say - here's to hoping it takes one of them out. But it won't. Because they test every day, and yet they've convinced everyone else you are dumb to test.

When Jen Psaki got infected the first time I was like - OH! They test every day?!, and Fox News is basically mocking people that test. Craziest shit ever. 

But eventually their luck is going to run out. If it takes out Biden - I don't think the nation is ready for the dumb that follows. I don't even think that girl knows how to balance a checkbook.

I'm even pretty sus on Clarence Thomas right now. If his wife's shit makes it hard for Trump to win.... Right now I think they all could be hit with a meteor and it would only be a win.

UPDATE - CrZY unlikely? scenario. Obama as the Vice President.  Let me center myself. I guess it could happen.

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.

Fauci Flashback: "The Most Potent Vaccination Is Getting Infected Yourself".

I can't even put into words how stupid this is. And how wrong. You purposefully have to be ignoring data on people getting reinfected within weeks of getting a variant. I've even seen reports of people getting reinfected with the SAME variant after a few weeks. You are not doing yourself a favor by getting infected. Or helping yourself in any way.

We are now up to Omicron version 2.8 people. The 2.0 lineage seems to be especially unfriendly. Many countries are having record deaths. And.... you should start getting used to the words recombinant. This is where two versions merge for the worst of both worlds. There have to be at least a half of dozen of those now.

The more people this infects - the greater possibility that it turns into a monster. With each new version your immunity wanes. That entire article is inaccurate.

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.
