Capitalism is in runaway mode and must be curtailed. Perhaps ‘quiet quitting’ doesn’t go far enough — Here is the title to an article I recently saw on Yahoo. “Ford targets quiet quitters with new policy that could see underachievers lose their severance.” Companies are in a complete froth about a media-hyped attitude towards work called “quiet quitting.” Quiet quitters say they are going to work the…

It didn’t go well, but the reason is something you would not suspect — Just sixty years ago people left their doors unlocked without worry. There was a time when people kept rifles on a rack in the back window of their pickup trucks — shotguns, hunting rifles, and even semi-automatic rifles (they’ve been around since 1905). They would leave their windows down because…

The future is not for the faint of heart — or the poor — The term “climate change” is anemic on purpose to allay fears of the general public and diminish its significance. Who pays for the climate change that has become a climate catastrophe? The poor and middle class bear the brunt of physical damage, financial burden, and social hardship of climate catastrophe…

Not a gun show event, a gun buyback event — Had this old gun my stepdad gave me when he passed. The wife and I are moving from Houston to Waco and getting rid of stuff. The gun became an object of ambivalence. After some internet investigation I determined the Colt .38 was actually made in Belgium from inferior steel…

CEOs may actually be an alien invasion Nearly forty percent of American workers are bound by noncompete agreements. They cannot leave their current jobs and go to a similar job elsewhere.

He literally threw Obama’s well-funded, well thought out pandemic playbook in the trash to wing it. Enough about Trump. Two hundred thirty-one million Americans…

Hint, it’s something we deal with constantly — Climate change. Out of control end-game capitalism. Supply line issues, peak oil, water, phosphorus. Peak stupidity [but we’ll never run out]. Russia starting a nuclear war. Famine. Super volcano. Asteroid strike. Gamma ray sterilization from a nearby supernova. Let’s see the Republican Party legislate against that birth control. It could…

The times we live in provide them that opportunity — Yes, Biden is an idiot. Yes, Trump is a dangerous idiot. You could point out individual leaders from the past that were worse. Most of them would be sociopaths that ended up directly or indirectly killing millions of people. …

Anything to do with 101st Airborne doing maneuvers next to Ukrainian border? — Turning off the main highway in Calvert, TX to find a shade tree to park under to eat the fried chicken I bought in Hearne, TX, the guards came down on the railroad crossing for the tracks that parallel the highway. I stopped to watch a trainload of military equipment…
