Borders, walls, laundering,

Going to be the IDKB here for a minute, which is out of character for me. (IDKB, I don’t know, but,,,)
I have no clue what that bill mentioned reads. Never heard a word about it until I read that above. BUT,,,, How dumb can a body be to THINK building a wall in an active war zone, with ARMOR, ARTY, ACTIVE AIRSUPPORT, is even feasible? Seriously????? Toss in the backhanded insult of “we won’t secure our border”,,,,, Its shit like this that tells me ‘our leaders pretend’ actively think the AmeriCAN people have an IQ lower than their shoe size. The real intent, IF TRUE, is to milk MORE taxdollars out of a system BEYOND BROKE to grift it back into private accounts. This country has been sliding further and further into destitution and yet those 535 on the hill continue to grow bank accounts as if they were petuntias on a manure pile.
There most definitely IS a manure pile involved here.
And then we have CNN happily cheering the Trumped/Biden showdown for this upcoming (S)election cycle,,,, Something tells me (what I already felt) that the cheat is well in place,,,
its early, and I am already dropping into HARD CYNICISM,,,,
We only wanted to be left alone,,, how hard is that. Impossible it seems.
——————————————————
today is the end of my payweek, looking damned good with potential for great. understand that its already spent for the most part in bills, but there is enough leeway in there already, that comforts aren’t going to be ignored. Good! My ‘Broke ass’ Anxiety has been shrank and stuffed back in its box. Funny that: IF things were to go full potato, and the dollar crashed, said ‘broke ass’ anxiety wouldn’t rear its ugly head. There woudl be different ones, but being broke wouldn’t be the case. Mostly because EVERYONE would be in the same boat and we would all be on a new learning curve. I don’t fear collapse on the large scale so much as individual collapse in ‘normal times’. Large scale collapse is what my brain has been ‘prepping’ for since 2007: I say it often enough “get the hard shit figured out while you have the luxury of now times”. Know what potentials are possible, get with those that think outside the box and game the off the wall shit. Well,,, Having read umpteen gazillion DoomPron scenarios, I have gamed some pretty hairy situations, tossed more than a few out in group and caught some flat footed. (like your child taking a bullet to the spleen and ZERO chance of a trauma unit being available,,,,)
Anywhoos,,, that digression shows just how far over the CYNIC wall I have fallen today,,,, Good vibes from a good paycheck, but the FUCKS in charge of shit keep muckin’ with my mellow,,, And they wonder why we hate them so,,,,,




i started prepping around thirty years before you did in 07. So naturally I’m a bit past where you are.
My advice on the monetary surplus directed toward “comfort” Long ago I decided that having 2k$ in a reserve fund was a bare minimum. Through thick and thin have maintained that 2k. . Nuff said bout that.
life can be tough
Elons BFR , is scheduled to go up here in a couple hours. Third times the charm ? Hope so !
Wonder if that dip shit Mayberry , still lives down near Boca Chica ?
outstanding weather here this week , mid eighties. Finished harvesting the sweet potatoes yesterday. Boy those Okinawan ones sure are delicious ! Sweet but with the taste and color of regular potatoes.
yeah those effing 535…including the other two elected branches all suck. We put em there , so our bad.
.Time to Ranger up , what else can I say. There is a comfort to being old and prepared for it

Funny you mention Mayberry,,, He is the one I tossed that scenario of ‘spleen shot child’ to and totally caught off-gaurd.
As for ‘saving money’,,, Been trying, but the way my work/pay thing runs,,,,, I do try though,,,, Been at or below FedPoverty level since I moved here and that makes things ‘tight’,,,,

I need to either drop DEEP back into the Labyrinth for… Considerable Time… OR work *furiously* at this space travel thing. And right now, I think Mr. Musk might well have the right of it.
