As someone who creates technical solutions for a living I still think there’s a lot of truth here. Life isn’t an either/or choice, but rather yes/and. Use the tech to enhance and augment your life, not to replace it.

Sellouts and Hypocrites

Well, if you look at which sellouts and hypocrites were at the felon’s coronation it is obvious we’re surrounded by them, and that’s just part of why you’re reading this here. If you feel the same way I suggest you start extracting yourself from the clutches of the oligarchs. But how?…

We’ll start with the basics and delve into some specifics in future posts, but in summary… STOP SUPPORTING THE TITANS.

And supporting means using their services or buying anything from them.

Don’t be a “user”.

You’re just being “used”.

You want to keep your account for periodic check ins while you extract yourself or to spread the word that others should get out too? Go for it. Hell, I haven’t figured out how to extract myself from all of them yet.

But if you’re with me I’d encourage you to follow along and share any tips you have!

YGTBFKM Unconditional Discharge

So apparently conviction and breaking the law don’t mean shit anymore. Not even a fine. What an absolute fucking joke.

[Trump] will be released without fine, imprisonment or probation supervision for his conviction on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records.

Absolute bull shit.

But yeah… the billionaires keeping their money is more important

Right? I mean that’s why we elected a billionaire who will let billionaires keep more of their billions… attempt to cut a massive portion of federal government jobs (you realize that means unemployed and likely a decent amount of welfare? Oh wait they’re just lazy but the billionaires… now, they’re just like you!).

Anyway, just another example as reported in todays Morning Brew

TurboTax finding you an extra 12 bucks each year is pretty chill, but perhaps not as chill as saving $8 billion on your taxes via an intricate network of ungovernable loopholes. According to a New York Times analysis, that is roughly how much Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, the US’ 10th-richest person, will save on his estate taxes by routing his wealth through a series of trusts and foundations.

Huang’s estate is technically supposed to pay 40% of his ~$127 billion net worth to the government, as per the estate tax law that dates back to the early 20th century, when the US realized it needed to keep dynastic wealth in check. But in recent years, the estate tax has become more of a suggestion and less of a rule as lawyers grow increasingly cunning about how to safeguard their clients’ riches and the budget-depleted IRS becomes powerless to enforce the law. A proper enforcement would have saved the government $120 billion last year, which the New York Times notes could more than triple the federal funding for cancer and Alzheimer’s research.—AE

Let’s just reiterate that last part, “could more than triple the federal funding for cancer and Alzheimer’s research.”… but yeah 🙄🤬

I hate this country

How stupid can people be? Oh, this is…

Does nobody remember, or just not care about:

  • Jan 6
  • Felon
  • Liar
  • Cheater
  • “Grab them by the pussy”

Not to mention endangering women’s lives with the overturning of Roe v Wade, really not being all there mentally (sorry, there should be a max age for a president – I’m including Biden), and just being a narcissistic asshole.

I seriously have no idea how any man with a daughter, nor how any woman could vote for the pig. And speaking of women… why is it that women seem to hate other women so much? Aside from all the other things wrong with this it just perpetuates the myth that women can’t lead. How is it that an entire sex couldn’t stand up for one of their own and make this no contest?

Does “the little guy” sitting out in BFE or even suburbia think this asshole really cares about them, or is anything like them? Or is it just that the “tuff guy” turns you on?

Or maybe, you “just didn’t like either of them” so you did a “protest vote”. Well great f’n job because what you really did was vote for Mr T you spineless sack. I honestly don’t love Harris all that much, but at least I understand the consequences of being an idiot.

And if I honestly ever hear someone that voted for this POS talk about “law and order” 🤬

It’s just a sad, sad day and I fear what’s to come for anyone that dares cross this POS the morons of this country elected.
