Muhndaze funnies (and not so funny)

back to the grindstones today, or maybe I should say ‘ridin’ the lightning’, since I play with electric to burn metal…

A little bit of a conundrum on my part led to a short day. Bossman said, ‘copy that cantilever gate’,,, Ok,,, But,,,, Son of Bossman told me I was going to be building something even larger/longer,,, “um,,, maybe,,, do what you can,,,,”

So I spent the day butt-welding pipe (we get 21′ or 24′ sections and these gates tend to 30’+length.) and cutting/notching parts for assembly once I actually have dimensions,,,,

Kinda did a bit of loafin’ too,,,,

Boredom kicked in and finally said, ‘Nuff, go home,,’

and now playin’ catch-me-up,,,,

Y’all may remember this post,,, Well, if not, go read, refresh the memory banks, THEN, Go read This’un. Make sure to follow some of the links provided; and ya, its a bit of a long read for some.

I am not going to go all metaphysical on’ya and start talking about ‘number of the beast’ and all that*. There are plenty out here that are all ready to jump on that bandwagon when things start straying from “Right vs Not Right”. And I know many of the people involved are Buddies/Competition of Musk, and they all have one big thing incommon. BILLIONAIRES. Most of them rose up the ranks into that thin-atmo using tech. (Trumped is the big exception here) and that TECH,,,

Here’s my take on it. It won’t fly. Far too many groups and small form societies around the world that would get left the wayside (if that is what you could call it. I prefer ‘not incarcerated into the system’,,,,) that going full on digital won’t work. Too many analog factions that won’t play the game. Even here in Appalchiastan, CASH IS KING still readily applies, even with the growing use of EBT/Debit cards. I see many times at the first of the month, little families going into Wally-world and using that EBT card to pull out gobs of cash: walk up to checkout with a pop, use EBT and pull out a hundred cash.

Cash can’t be traced.

Gold can’t be traced.

Silver can’t be traced.

AND those that want further control think they can just replace that system with one of their design and everyone is going to go along with it all hunky-dory-like,,,,,

PHFllllllBBBBbbbbbbtttttt!!!!!!!!!!! (you can toss in a Shart in there if you want. Might be more appropo to those that ‘would be kings’,,,,, IMO)

And yes Spud, I know you pointed out certain players on occasion. I didn’t say I wasn’t watching and calculating. I know they intend to do something, but I also think, much like the Democratic party of the last 12 years; too much too fast and NOT THE RIGHT TIME. Shit will blow in their faces, and trusts will be lost and Top Down Centralized is going to fail into locallocallocal, decentralized,

anarchy.

My definition of “no rulers”, not the emotional one of Tooth and claw jungle rules.

We’re at a cusp, yet again, (maybe never left it, only certain groups are vying for top slot slowing down the ‘tip over’.)

No one knows where any of this leads. Slavery, civil wars, financial collapse (likely as people are fast losing confidence in National Currencies) combinations of the above, sporadic ‘national wars’ between major players, nuke tossing competitions,,,,,,

*Thats not to say I don’t think ‘good and evil’ don’t exist. Far from it. Look at the Yin-Yang I publish danged near every post. There is a balance between those factions, and even in the best, there is a touch of the other inside, just as in the worst, there is some good somewhere. It may not be self-evident, but it is there. You can’t remove one side without expanding on the opposite side within. The good can’t annihilate the bad without growing the bad within. Balance will correct itself with time. That, IMO, is part of why we are where we are. Too many instances of trying to course correct when things should have been left well enough alone to let them correct itself. Using an economic example: if we had left well enough alone in 2008, the markets would have self corrected and, while things might have felt far worse for a short spell, they would have improved. Such is what the world needs to allow to happen,,, only,,,, There are those that “Would be Kings” playing silly bugger games,,,,,

Anywhooossss,,,,,
