So how much did this cost?

It’s Biden’s fault.

It’s going to cost a fortune to feed that beast.

And he’s going to hog the bed.

There were other serious problems standing in the way of making them pets. Probably the worst is that they pee everywhere, and the pee is extremely foul smelling, so you can’t keep them in the house, no matter how friendly they might be.

They also don’t make cute or useful sound like a bark, or a purr, they make a really loud, very annoying wail, that gets on the nerves of even the most ardent fox lover.

Even after all these years of breeding, these serious issues remain, keeping them from becoming viable pets for the foreseeable future.

Exactly. My wife hasn’t used an actual computer more than a handful of times in the last several years. She does EVERYTHING on her smartphone.

I have never owned a laptop, because my desktop unit is where I do most of my business stuff, and when I’m away from that, my smartphone is good enough.

Of course, the most important thing isn’t that we account for two less computers than a few years ago, but the smartphones that we have replaced laptops with, run Android. So that’s actually a net loss of 4 MS products.

And after all these years, Windows products still make me frustrated and infuriated. You’d think they would have honed it to a perfect product by now, but every few years they completely reconfigure the UI, and make us have to navigate a whole new, buggy system.

I’ve never done torrents, I don’t even know how. I’ve always used forums. Bolt was the best one for many years, but they closed shop a few years ago.

Over the last few years, my pirating became minimal, only a few times a year, when I couldn’t find it on streaming.

I find myself going back to pirating recently, for the simple reason that I WANT to screw over these propagandistic megacorps in every way possible. Fuck them, I’m not paying for it, I’m stealing it, and feeling really good about it.

The same old “welfare queen” argument again.

I’m not concerned about some young videogamer getting free healthcare. I’m more concerned with the DOGE GOBLIN getting BILLIONS in government contracts to build rockets that blow up spectacularly, wasting a billion dollars with every explosion, just so he can quip “Just a scratch.”

That’s a billion dollar scratch that could have made a huge difference in thousands of lives.

I’m not worried about American citizens getting health care, I’m worried about Foreign Sociopathic Oligarchs getting BILLIONS in government contracts, paid for by taxes on the working class, while calling those same workers/taxpayers “parasites.”

Nobody is a bigger government mooch then MAGA Nazi politicians.

Trickle Down Economics was a huge success for the Aristocrats, and a disaster for the working class. Obviously, they want to keep the system that has worked so well for them, but it is unsustainable, and it is coming to an end. They are facing two choices:

Trickle UP Economics, in which more money is given to the workers, who will then spend it, stimulating the economy. Every time this has been tried (such as during Covid), it was wildly successful. The money eventually makes its way into the hands of the Sociopathic Oligarchs and Transnational Corporations anyway, but at least it greases the cogs of the economy on its journey upwards.

That would be the best way to handle the economy for everybody. The workers have more spending power, and the rich get richer. Everybody’s happy.

OR

Robin Hood Economics, which is “Take from the Rich, and give to the Poor.” This usually follows a brutally violent rebellion in which the wealthy do not prevail. It is usually very uncomfortable for them and their families. The wealthy would rather avoid this one.

Of course, they want to keep on going with the plan that has made them wealthy, but we have to show them that the gravy train has come to an end, and we will not be indulging their hoarding mental illness any longer.

Those who make peaceful revolution impossible, make violent revolution inevitable.

I don’t mind people being wealthy, if they are just going to indulge their personal needs. The problem becomes when they have enough economic power that they can enter into personal economic negotiations with other nations that may run counter to the needs of their own nation. It would be bad enough if even a single Sociopathic Oligarchs did this, but imagine if there were multiple people doing it.

What the current Sociopathic Oligarchs are doing is bad enough, but they are still managing to operate like human beings, more or less. What will happen if the billionaire class throws off a straight up psychopath who has no problem killing mass numbers of people, or even likes it? It is only a matter of time before one of these people emerges, with enough money to indulge his perversions, and also to buy his way out of any trouble he may get into.

We have to anticipate these inevitabilities, and avoid them preemptively. We have to stop waiting for easily predictable problems to happen, and only THEN start to address them.

Hoarders are drawn to hoard certain things that make sense to them - cats, newspapers, old cars, guitars (my personal issue), etc.

If whatever you are hoarding starts impacting those around you, you are encouraged to get professional help, but if you are a business person, and hoard money, then you are considered successful, and they put you in charge.

If Cats could become legal tender, weird old ladies would take over the world.

Yeah, the Establishment Dems are nearly as pissed off as the MAGAs. If the Nazis come for Zohran, don’t expect the Dems to offer any help.

Okay, but Cuomo spent triple what Zohran spent, and got his ass kicked.

Tell you what, just distribute all that money to your employees, and the result of the election will be the same as if you blew it all on a loser.

Imagine if you took $100 billion from any of these Goblins, they wouldn’t even notice it, but that money could fund homeless solutions (or any other problem) forever.

This is where God gets to prove he’s real, and he’s on the side of the people. If it’s true, Venice will finally sink into the sea and become a legend, like Atlantis.

If that happens, I’ll finally go to church every Sunday. Hear me God? That’s what it will take.

I know a few Venezuelans who are citizens, and they tell me they aren’t worried, but I am. I’ve heard they are review citizenship and green card applications, and looking for discrepancies, and if they find them, they are pulling their citizenships. They don’t even respect birthright citizenship, which is in the Constitution. They aren’t going to respect the citizenship process.

Bottom line, if you were born somewhere else, they want you gone. After that, they’ll be going after actual citizens they don’t like.

He’s that 22 year old counter-terrorism czar.
