feelin’ a little burnt up/out/whathavya
I’mma gonna call this the unloading post. Feeling a little burnt out on things IRL right now, and it all has to stem from the FRAUD and their efforts to destroy the best damned country in the entire world (IMO, and I have reason to believe its more fact than Opine)
Pay day, come and gone, and after paying the bills (creditors get first dibs, after the FRAUD takes their cut, before I ever see it, of course. more on that later in the post,,,,). and lets face it, pay has ‘come and gone’ and its only Saturday. I could gripe about crappy pay (I do gripe about that,,,) but to be honest, this is all because of the efforts a puppet started in January 2021. Crappy pay beside the point, before EVERYTHING went through the roof in costs, I was doing pretty damned good for crappy pay, in a crappy conditions. I griped that I should be making more, but the offset of having free-rein on WHEN I worked was pretty decent incentive to not go elsewhere, AND, the Dad thing, being close to home to keep an eye on him and not needing to worry about taking time off to take care of him and retaining said J.O.B.,,,
NOW, Well, I don’t think I need to tell ya all about how bad its getting. When you pay at the pump and watch at least a days labor disappear down the filler neck, to literally be blown out the exhaust pipe as vapors and smoke,,, Yeah, it gets you places, but the ratio of getting there and how much time its taking to make that,,,,, starting to see serious gap in that ratio, CANYON type gaps.
.
And that is where the real theft is taking place. I hope I don’t need to explain the mechanics of inflation to you, with them passing budgets where they literally print the money out of thin air, then spend the hell out of it before it gets into the flow and dilutes the value of what was already there.
Anywhoos, more of the unloading. I am sorta sitting this weekend out on a lot of things due to depleted accounts. Not TOTALLY depleted mind you, but so damned close, there is little room for error, and no real room for ‘going somewhere’. And its making me a little pissed off, to say the least. It costs me nothing to go kayaking, but it DOES cost me to feed Buffalo and she is sort of pig (not as bad as when she was skipping a beat last week, but damn, she doesn’t run on air alone.)
and all of this is from trickle down issues. People everywhere are feeling the pinch, so things get shuffled off to the last minute or written off completely ‘until better days’, and that makes the things I do to earn the FRN’s grow further apart and so the pay starts to dwindle. I figure 90% of the work we are getting right now is from state contract or corporate types. and even THEY are pinching and asking us to cut corners.
It’s circular.
Or, a downward spiral.
like a flushed toilet.
and its INTENTIONAL.
The people behind this mess really have a hatred for this country and it shows, and they frauded the last election so they could seat a perfect fall guy for the mess.
BUT, We know the puppet for what he is, and its a slap in the face to everyday people, a blatant insult of our intelligence; especially when they start the gaslighting shit, telling us this is BETTER,,,
WTF?!?!?!?
I’m gonna stop there because my BP is getting into the redline stages. Thanks for letting me vent some. And NO, I am not blegging for tips (no tip jar anyways) or donations. If ya wanna help someone, go give Adriannas GP a boost on his GSG site to pay for the shysters needed to defeat evil.
Thing is, I will make it through this, I always do, always will. May not be happy about some of my choices to do so, and may not always be comfortable, but getting through is what I do. (there will come a day when I don’t make it, and we all know it: no one gets out of this alive,,,)
AND, when things get tight like this is when I start getting the most creative about “how do I,,,,” That whole “how do I do a $50 job for $5, then spend the rest of the time getting that $5”. Like that Ergometer. A $20 used ski machine and some brand new springs, and I have a pretty good piece of exercise equipment to keep me in shape for those upcoming days of kayak racing. (FYI, thing works AWESOME, and I have really been ‘tearing it up’, not just to get back in shape/conditioning, but to burn off some of this anger I am feeling about the state of the world at large. 20 minutes on this thing and I am pouring sweat. ). Times like these are when I start learning new skills or new combinations of old skills to get things done on the ‘cheap’. Bandaids, duct-tape and superglue kind of repairs that usually outlast the original.
Dio's Workshop 
Actually I believe you’re smarter than that. To believe this all stems from your supposed “fraud” in charge.
You know as well as I that it mostly took place in the sixties. With the war expenditures and not to mention the space race in conjunction with our arms race against Russia.
Then old Tricky Dick removed the gold standard and made a deal with OPEC to make the dollar the standard . Sky is the limit from that point forward.
The Dumbs vs the Rethugs in competition for their favorite groups of lobbiests .
Then they remove any and all controls for monopolies , off shoring of almost all industry , usury regulations , limits to asset vs loans. The list is long and is not dependent on party affiliation.
Free money did not start with the latest chosen .
Remember the stimulus checks that Bush sent out ? Then the ones Trump insisted his own personal signature be on ?
Certainly Biden has done his share too…
As have pretty much all of them in my lifetime .
But ya know what ? We let them and highly approved when channeled our direction.
Y’all know the verse….We are all prisoners of our own device.
We’ve been willingly scammed, raped and plundered from all sides.
To blame any one politician in favor of another is the game they play.
We learned the art deception and propaganda well from our enemies eh .
So much so that we’ve merged and become them.
It’s good to be old , pity the young…

You’re right, its much older than just the fraud. All the way back to 1913 and the FED Res act.
And with the removal of a gold standard,,,, yeah.
But NO, not all of us cheered the ‘free money, when channeled our way’. Look back in time here and you will see where I was calling said ‘stimulus checks’ as bribe money from day one.
And I continually gripe about the abuses of the SSI/SSD con-game.

But aI would like to add, that our current fuel costs are very much associated with THE FRAUD and his shuttering our drilling and pipelines, robbing the Petroleum Reserves, etc. THAT is on this adminstrstion and a puppet as sitting (p)Resident, and that is a circular downward spiral, effecting prices of everything much more directly than just a watered down currency. The two on conjunction are fuel on hot coals.
And to tell me otherwise,,,,
Yes, its started way back when, but the actions of those in place now did not need to be done, but they did them anyways

On fuel costs.
Remember not so long ago . The predicted scam of fracking and the outcome of its expected end ? The short term gain and life expectancy of those wells vs the interest rate vs price per barrel ? The fact that it only worked if they continued to drill more wells because the volume gained lasted only a year or so before it no longer produced at a profit. Unless they could drill and frack more as head pressure went down. It was only profitable at low interest and high oil prices.
The fed stopped the low cost loans and political manipulation too.
Doesn’t help either when boycotts of certain providers over politics cuts into a world market either.
Jim over at “Bison prepper” was really into those numbers back in the day.
Even tho he’s off the air these days , I believe his archives are still available as his blog is still listed even tho he is being silent these days. As many are.
He was always heavy into fractional reserve banking , the silver manipulation , and the scam to come on the fracking adventure.
Miss reading Bison…
And the old Dio that just liked to putter around his workshop…
Damn politics , propaganda and con artists !

Seem to me, this was my first post on ‘politics’ in almost a month. Perception is everything.
I stopped reading Bison around 2010 because his negativity was causing me to contemplate crossing lines best not crossed. And there is a fact he kept missing: rational optimism. We have exactly the same resources as that caveman of yore, the difference is in knowledge and innovation. Solutions WILL be found, so long as GOVERNMENT keeps its greedy paws to its damned self. History DOES validate that statement, and all of the doomsayers have always been proven wrong, time and again: from Malthus to current day.

Yeah the doomsayers just can’t predict timelines for sure.
Primarily because the optimists do figure out workarounds and kick the old can down the road.
Thing about facts tho , they inevitably do apply.
I too stopped reading several extremist sites. Where they openly advocated such things as anarchy. In fact several times , I warned old Jim that he might be drawing the attention of the big flyswatter. Hell maybe he finally took my advice and went dark.
The problems I see with our government certainly wouldn’t be solved with anarchy.
Innovate or dissipate is the rule
