Money, Money, Money X2

I know. I know. I’ve just posted on this. But this “Evil Corporate Greed is Causing Inflation” bullshit going on on Twitter is driving me crazy. How can you be so simple, single minded?

Hey, I’m not a big corporation fan. I worked for one for over thirty years and my thanks was a layoff and a severance that went straight to paying my bills. But the idea that Corporate Greed is the cause of inflation is just so one-celled thinking that I can’t stand keeping quiet about.

So, for a moment, let’s just pretend there is no such thing as the “Evil Corporations.” Heck, let’s just pretend we are back in 1890 and every business is individually owned. All we have are bars, general mercantile stores, and livery stables. You go into your favorite bar and you order a shot of whiskey. You’ve been paying 25 cents for that shot of whiskey for as long as you’ve been coming to that bar. But guess what, today whiskey is 50 cents a shot. Can’t blame it on evil corporations, they don’t exist in our imagined world. Well, it’s just that damned old bar owner trying to get rich. Aren’t we all?

Russian President Vladimir Putin (L) meets with Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in Tehran on November 23, 2015. Putin arrived in Tehran for talks with Khamenei and President Hassan Rouhani, with the Syrian conflict expected to be high on the agenda. The one-day visit will also see Putin take part in a summit of gas exporting countries.

You know I speak my opinion, but I try not to get too Repub/Demo on here. But I’m just going to say it. If you buy into this shit, you are as dumb as a rock. None of these guys can be trusted. I’ve heard it the peace pleaders, they believe we should do anything for peace. Well, I think we should do a lot for peace, but not just anything. And I don’t think we should suspend belief for peace. Quite simply the only way you can believe that Iran will honor any peace agreement, is by suspending belief. They have proven it over and over. They have considered the US the Great Satan for years. They aren’t going to suddenly accept us.

Now, you have people saying that since we can’t use Russian oil, we’ll be able to buy Iranian oil after the nuke deal. Bahahah. Really? Like they would sell us a piece of bread if we were starving?

Well, if we make this deal, we keep them from having nuclear weapons. Really? The deal is to get them nuclear weapons.

And the idea that we have Russia, bed partner to Iran, negotiating a nuclear agreement for us, is beyond stupid. We are watching them invade a country that did nothing to instigate a war. How? Why? Under what circumstances could we ever trust them?

I say it again. If you buy into this shit, you’re a few beers short of a six-pack. When folks see you out and about, they say “There’s a village missing its idiot.”

Let’s have a few words

Below are a few words which have been cast about by the media and politicians. They have been used as descriptive narrative with particular emphasis toward January 6th, Anti-Vaxers, Canadian Truckers, and individuals of particular political swing. Definitions provided are courtesy of Noah Webster’s 1828 Dictionary. I’ve used that particular dictionary because the 2022 form has been rewritten nearly daily as tech, politicians, and social hubs try to control the societal narrative. I present them without further commentary. Followed by a few quotes from a significant member of our founding fatherhood.
