Selective Outrage... It's Become A "Thing"

 

With all the hard work that The Daughter has put into The RV Garage Mahal trying to Organize the Too Much I have in there, I see the daunting task before me now on how much I will have to divest myself of to make that whole Space functional.  *Le Sigh*  I had a few Editorial spots for a Moment, but they're cluttered up now with what she's sorted out and unpacked, to get it spread out to visually discern what should be Curated, Edited, Purged.  I get overwhelmed to see the Big Picture and thought this Month it might Cool down enuf to open the large Door and get some Spaces totally Styled again and decluttered.  But, it hasn't Cooled down enuf, Climate Changes are making the Hot Season lengthier.  Now all of September is Too Hot.  *Huge Sigh*  Above is my recent Score of a $5 Creepy Doll, probably 1940's Era.  One can never have too many Creepy Old Dolls and dismembered ones IMO.  Scares folks almost more than Clowns and Demonic Entities do!!!   To most folks even Ole' Lucifer himself isn't as Scary and Unsettling as some Dolls!  *Bwahahaha*  In fact, some Humans are Supportive of some Humans doing the Devil's Work, just look at our current Politics for example!

With some of those Politicians I think we ought to perhaps look for Triple 6's, The Mark of the Beast, somewhere on them?  *Winks*  But I digress.  That now leaves October thru February to get everything done before it Heats up again, providing it even Cools Off in October?  I really want to press hard this Year to get it Done, but, that's not looking Promising, I ain't gonna Lie, it might take thru 2026 and beyond?   Shit.  *LOL*  I know, at least I have loads of Primo Inventory to Sell Off for discretionary income when needed.   Since what is left is the very best Stuff I accumulated over a Lifetime now.   So, Industry Friends would be interested in a lot of it even if I didn't Sell it out of our own Retail Spaces at the Antique Mall.  And, I must gird myself to really Let Go more, it's been too slow a Process for me coz I do Love my Good Stuff that took me a Lifetime to Source, even way before the Internet made Sourcing anything easier.   Above is my Antique Canning Jar of Old Cat's Eye Marbles, the Jar & it's Glass Lid Insert were unusual.

Back then, before Online Sources, you might take Years to Find what you were seeking, if you EVER Found it?!   Now, with the click of a Mouse you can not only Find it, but Buy it, have it Shipped right to your Door, it's not quite the same as the Thrill Of The Hunt tho'.  But, for the Instant Gratification Generations it's what they expect now and they don't even comprehend the Rush us Old Timers get when we go on Treasure Hunts the Old Fashioned way and sometimes return empty Handed, but still quite satisfied of having gone on a Thrilling Hunt for something specific, or nothing specific at all that we stumble upon by pure Serendipity.  *LOL*  That's how it was with the French Antique Child Mannequin just Sourced, wasn't looking for her when she just turned up, and at a Killer Price Point.  My other Old Canning Jar of Vintage Costume Jewelry Sourced ridiculously Cheap.  I'll probably Resell the Junk Jar of Jewelry in a Vintage Glass Vase, the Young People will pay a Fortune for Junk Jars of Jewelry to Open on Tik Tok, it's a Craze/Fad.  Even the Chazzas are getting $80 a Jar or Vase!  They ask for them all the time at the Antique Mall and we Sell Out when we have them.

I saw her just laying there near the Register, thought she was perhaps already SOLD, asked Nancy, she wasn't, and then I'm thinking, I probably can't afford her.  The Price Tag was turned around and I couldn't Believe my Eyes when I saw her Price, no way, I verified it was accurate, it was, and my Heart was beating like a Hummingbird on Crack!  *Bwahahahaha*  I told Nancy, put that aside for me, I'm getting her for sure.  *Smiles*  She's heavy with her little Cast Iron Button Up Victorian Boots, so I didn't want The Man to have to schlep her around the Shop while I finished Shopping and taking Pixs.  *LOL*  She's the only Purchase, but, she was more than enuf, Score, Touchdown, Olympic Gold Medal, hitting the Jackpot at Vegas, Winning the Lottery, that's how I felt.  *Winks and Contented Smiles*  Yep, you're Reading that Tag correctly, well under $100!  These usually go for around $600, IF you can even Source one outside of France?!   And she's the first one with the Cast Iron 1800's Button-Up Boots I've ever seen in Person.  And, she's Black Fabric... so, just my Dark Aesthetic!  *Swoon*

This is my Black Cat Cross Body Bag I got {Above}, they had it with Purple Stitching too {Below}, but, I liked the Grey better.  I'm still too rotund to do Fanny Packs, they never make the Straps long enuf for us BMW types {Big Made Woman}.  *Le Sigh*  But I prefer Cross Body Bags when I don't wanna carry a whole Purse anyway and this one was adorbs and rather perfect for Halloween... Black Cats being a total Vibe.   I've got Blog Fodder Imagery for Days now, so, that's great, and, I also shot some Pixs around the Home, since, I did get just about all of the Inside sufficiently Decorated to my satisfaction.   I had so much Fun with it this Year becoz the rest of the Main House was in Order, Decluttered of what I didn't want in there, Tidy and Deep Cleaned.  I bask in the Blissful Contentment of that Feeling when we finally get that accomplished and try really hard to maintain it that way.  Sometimes I even Succeed.  *Winks*

 

Loved the Tiny Hoard of Mini Gumball Prize Trolls {Below}, but at $2 each I wasn't a Player.   Tho' research Online dictates mebbe I should go back and Buy some, it's actually a very good price each... most are Circa 1960-1970's.   I probably have a couple at Home, but this is an impressive Collection of them actually.   Someone either Scored a Gumball Machine Vendor Prize Closeout, or, they spent a fortune getting their Trolls one by one from a Gumball Prize Machine?  *LOL*  Lord, the Quarters I spent on Two Generations of Kiddos trying to get something 'Special' and coveted out of those damned Machines that was pictured as Teasers in the Front of the Glass, and rarely was what they got for their Quarter Gamble!   *Ha ha ha*   Sometimes you got Lucky, but you know that Vendor put The Good and more desirable Best Primo Prizes up against that Glass to Tease the Kid Gambler about what Treasures their little Capsule would Hold if they spent a Quarter... or even sometimes Fifty Cents, to try their Luck!  And, usually most of what they'd get was some crappy little Prize that didn't Square with the Teaser Prizes.  *LOL*

Anyway, with more than a Dozen of these adorable Gumball Prize Sized Trolls with various Hair Colors, someone Scored Big, that's all I can say.  Mebbe they're trying to offset their Losses charging Two Bucks each?   Mebbe they had Kids or Grandkids too they spent a Fortune on Gumball Machine Prizes for?   And these were just the Primo Prizes they Lucked Out with, and the abundantly numbered shitty ones the Kids instantly discarded, wasting your Gambling Quarters completely?  *LMAO*  It's like the shitty Prizes that "Cracker Jack" now has, compared to the Awesome ones we got back in Da Day... what a ripoff it is now, those aren't even legit "Prizes", they're shit!   And usually the same mass produced Prize in every Box, no variety whatsoever anymore, so there's no Mystery now, you KNOW for sure you're getting some shitty "Prize" of a lame Sticker or Fake Tattoo, that's it.  No Collectible "Cracker Jack" Prizes of bygone Eras.

The Daughter is now trying to locate a Halloween Banner Tarp that I had somewhere specific and she probably moved and now we can't find it.  It's large, so could be hiding in plain sight, can't imagine it not being obvious due to it's Size, it will cover most of the Garage Door when Displayed Outside for Halloween.   Frustrating to be looking for something you just can't locate and know you have tho'.  It's not with the Halloween Stuff and I have no idea where she might have put it, so she'll have to try to remember now and dig it up for me.  I'm trying to describe it for her but I don't know she's comprehending, it's like a thick plastic Tarp Material with awesome Halloween Graphics on it, probably used by some "Spirit Store" for Advertising, they usually don't come up For Sale and this one blew into our Neighborhood a couple Years ago during a huge Haboob Dust Storm that blew shit around and dropped it sometimes Miles away.   I want to use it this Year on the Garage Door for our Halloween Vignette on the Front Porch.

We also have to get our full sized Skeletons down and dress them in their Pirate Costumes and set them out there.  Today is quite Cool coz a big Storm is dumping a lot of Rain across the Valley.  Hasn't hit the West Valley yet, and we live Southwest, but the East Valley got hammered and even had to have Flood Emergency Rescues becoz they got so much Rain it Flooded and became deadly and hazardous in some areas hit hardest.  Kind of like what you saw happening in Texas with the Flash Floods, if you get caught in one of those they happen so quickly you don't often have time to react unless you get a lot of Emergency Advance Warnings, which, aren't happening anymore with this Administration's Cuts to Services like that.  So, it will cost Lives and they really don't Care.  They slashed funding for critical Public Interest and Services, and very likely just pocketed it for themselves, that's the Reality of it.  Greedy Selfish Billionaire Bastards, Too Much is never Enough for any of them, they're insatiable and will Steal even from the Neediest of Society.

 

Anyway, your Emergency Weather Forecasts are now seriously compromised and you won't get advanced Warnings that you should, the Funding has been yanked by the sitting Administration.  Along with vital Research Projects, etcetera, and it will have blowback and dire consequences to the Public, Trust and Believe.   Much Scarier than anything Halloween could ever Offer Up to Scare ya, that's for Sure.   As you can clearly see by some of my Retail Commercial Pixs at the Big Box Stores, their Inventory is lean this Season for the Holidays.  Sometimes they only had 1-2 of something, so the Shelves looked bare from The Jump and Inventory got Sold Out quickly coz there wasn't that much of it to begin with.  If you didn't get yours early, while there was still some left, you weren't getting it.   And why I tried to be there to at least Photograph some of the Halloween Line of 2025 before it was gone immediately.   Some of it was Cute, a lot of it was Vintage Inspired, which I really liked, coz Vintage Halloween Graphics are the best IMO.

LATER:  Well, on the News they were saying how badly the area around the Stadium was Trashed by those attending the Charlie Kirk Memorial and with the President being there.  So much Trash was strewn about they had to bring in Bulldozers to clear it out!!!  They're blaming it on a No Bag Policy, but come on, it just means most Attendees were irresponsible and piggish, for to leave Trash all over around the Stadium and surrounding Neighborhoods.   There are nice Residential Neighborhoods and nice Businesses and nice Apartment Complexes around that Stadium, they don't want to have to clean up your Trash!  You could leave your Bags in your Vehicle if you can't bring them in to an Event and not dump them all over the place, knowing somebody will have to pay to clean that up behind you and put in the Work for your Laziness and inconsideration.  Piggish Assholes do shit like that.

 This was actually a Video taken by one of the nearby Residents appalled at how they left her Community in shambles!!!  I don't know if it will load as a Video or just this Still?   I Hope you could watch the Video to see the atrocious Trashing of a Community in their Wake!   Not that I'm the least bit Surprised, I could see what it was attracting for Miles around our Community when they began arriving.  And clearly so much Police presence was necessary, and Ambulances, other Emergency Vehicles, that I think they were prepared in case that Violence erupted too.  Thankfully it didn't look like it did, they just Trashed the Community for Miles around the Stadium.   This Stadium Hosts huge events like the Super Bowl and other Large Sporting Events, Huge Concerts like The Rolling Stones and Taylor Swift recently, none of those Crowds ever behaved like this at all... NONE of them.  So, just shows what kind of Demographic he attracted, and this President.  We drove around, this wasn't Camera Play, it was disgraceful the mess left in the Wake and inexcusable.  

Anyway, Moving On... I can't dwell on the disgusting habits of some Humans who behave worse than Animals.  The Man and I do enuf Environmental Cleanup every Week to tell you some Stories of how Piggish, Nasty, inconsiderate and Environmentally Unconscious some Humans just are.   Those who've Posted the Videos of the Mess have had some MAGA respond with the usual expected entitled viewpoint of excusing their ilk by saying Glendale chose to Host the Memorial Service there, so, just Clean it up!!!   Yeah, no Shame or condemnation from them for anyone that would do something like that.  Which one would think should be the Natural decent response to any Neighborhood being Trashed unnecessarily.  They'd have Selective Outrage if it weren't other MAGA doing it.  But, if it's their 'side', they will literally attempt to justify any unacceptable behaviors or even atrocities committed, it seems.  There is never a good excuse for bad behavior, ever, no matter whose doing it!!!

 

The Man didn't feel good at all after his Shots, which sometimes does happen.   So Today he spent most of the Day in Bed and making a Dramatic Production about how bad he felt.  *Winks*  I had to go run errands, so after I finally got him in Bed resting, and he had no Audience, he settled down.  *Smiles and Winks*  He was back out in the Livingroom watching his Shows by the time I got back Home with Groceries, and isn't being so Dramatic about it, Man Drama is the worst!  *LOL*  I told him if he wanted to stay in Bed all day and just rest, he could.   I do everything anyway so it wouldn't have mattered.  But, I already had the whole House in Order, Princess T was getting ready to go out for her Birthday, which, in Real Time is today {Monday the 22nd}, she had Plans.   The Son was at Work, but, The Daughter and Mando were here if he needed anything and to check in on him from time to time.  I knew he'd be Fine, he didn't have any major adverse side effects to cause any actual alarm, but he exaggerates now, any minor little thing.  *Eye Roll*

I tell him not to exaggerate, since, if he does have something Major, it's hard to tell, when he's always blowing every little thing out of proportion and being highly Dramatic about it as if everything is a Big Deal!   Sometimes he even does it just for the Attention, even if nothing is actually Wrong.   I can't tell you how many times I've taken him in to an Emergency Room and he was acting the Fool by exaggerating something for the Attention and we thought it was something Serious!!!  Oh you bet I get upset with him, but, with his Brain Damage, he does Weird shit all the time now, says Weird shit quite often, has sometimes lost Touch with Reality and ability to Mood Regulate and make good decisions on a consistent basis, which, is why he requires a Full Time Caregiver to make sure he's okay and safe.   The Young Prince told me Allen got put on a Med Regimen that has made things much better so he is trying to work things out.   The ultimatum he'd given his Husband was that he had to get some Medical Help becoz things weren't stable enuf that he was willing to stay.  The Young Prince gets his Medical Help when Needed.  Anyway, glad to hear things are better for them both.

He may still come down for the Holidays and then go back, so, we'll see what happens?   With those Two things change constantly so, I just don't involve myself deeply, they're Grown, they're Married, they'll have to work it out and do whatever they feel is Right for themselves.   Now the Oldest Grandchild in Mexico is saying they didn't renew her Scholarship for the Tuition for this Semester, but, we don't have it.   The Daughter will have to call her on my Phone to discuss it further, I just know I can't pay a College Tuition, I'm tapped out and it was all we could do to pay for the Middle One there to stay in High School this Year and buy her School Uniforms.   Princess T is still owed Money that she Loaned her Mom for the Middle Sister, so I'm not asking her to put forth more for another Sister now, she can't afford College Tuition for herself.  I wouldn't expect her to Bankroll Tuition for a Younger Sibling, it's not her responsibility.

  We're not an endless Source of Funds just becoz we live in America.  Yes, I feel bad coz the Oldest One is an exceptional Student and Won Scholarships, becoz she is so Smart, but if they're not renewing her Scholarships, she may have to find a way to pay for her Tuition.  She does Work and go to School, so I know she's doing all she can, Bless her.  She's only 18 and Raising/Supporting Two Younger Sisters now the other Grandmother Died, so, it's a tough and shitty Hand dealt, Hard Knocks Life.  But, some of Saint Maria's extended Family are Wealthy and could help out more than they do, they never helped the other Grandmother out with the Kids either, knowing she could use help.  We'd often send Money when we could.  We can't do it all tho', her Mom has no Income and isn't Employable due to her Extreme Mental Illness. 

 I helped put One Adult Child thru College, The Oldest Daughter, The Man's Bio Child from his 1st Marriage, and that Cost me a Fortune coz back East the Colleges are fucking expensive and getting more expensive all the time.   So I never could afford to put another one thru College, not any of my Biological Kids and they knew that and knew College wouldn't be in their Future unless they could Win full boat Scholarships for it or have crippling Student Debt.  Or any Grandchild I Raised, let alone those I didn't Raise.  I never could afford College myself, so I went to Work and Called it a Higher Education.  *Winks*  I could stand Toe to Toe in the Corporate World with folks who had more Degrees than a Thermometer, so, going to College doesn't necessarily make someone Smarter or Superior... there are some highly Educated Fools out there.  But, I know this Grandkid wants to stay enrolled in College and get her Degree.   Well, it's always SOMETHING isn't it?

The Niece also called, she's probably getting Evicted.  She got Laid Off in August, after being with her Company for Years, they Downsized, as most are right now and will some more.  She's highly Skilled and a Computer Programmer and has never been out of Work more than a little while in the Past, so is Panicking a bit that there's Jobs they say they're Hiring, but you never get Callbacks or even an Interview.  Her Rent recently went up by $400 a Month so her Unemployment doesn't cover it anymore, so, she may have to live in her Car.  Problem with that is that to get your Unemployment you must have an Address, and to get a Job too... so, it could become a vicious Cycle.  I told her if she gets Evicted, just come here, since none of her Dad or Mom's Relatives will let her Rent a Room from them.  They all profess to be super Christians and are Fundies, so, they never Practice what they actually Preach.   The typical overly Religious who wouldn't piss on you if you were on Fire tho', coz, it would require them do have a corresponding Action to what they pretend they are and spout all the time.

She's got a Weird extended Family that way, but, a lot of folks do, they aren't Ride or Die for their Loved Ones and I don't comprehend that, since, we are.  I know her whole Family, her Mom was one of my BFF's and she Died too Young.  The rest of them, they all have Money and are doing Well, but they're not at all Close with each other and very Egocentric, many also lean MAGA, and she doesn't and is a Single Lesbian, need I say more?   They're the type to tell her she Needs to just Pray the Gay away.  *Huge Eye Roll, AS IF it Works like that... Homophobia, being highly Judgmental and Self-Righteousness isn't pretty, even if you Label yourself Religious and behave overly Pious.*  She usually calls her Aunt Dawn when she's had a big argument with The Family.   They really say some Hateful and Hurtful things to her and she's a Wonderful Young Woman, extremely Smart and Skilled, becoz she has a Genius IQ, and just wants to remain Single and feels she has every Right to forego being Married or having Children.

And they offer ridiculous "Solutions" to actual Life Problems, so she gets very frustrated with them.   They have no point of reference, since, most of them Married into their Money and so have lived a relatively Privileged Life devoid of any actual Hardships.   Those with Privilege seem to think they have all the Answers to whatever Problems those without Privilege have... or, that somehow they have those Problems becoz it's their "Fault".   Easy to say if you've led a Charmed and Privileged Life yourself and have ZERO Point of Reference.   They told her why doesn't she just file for Social Security?  She's 45.  *Eye Roll*   And becoz she's a Single Woman with no Children, she doesn't Qualify for a lot of Services, Benefits and Programs that help out Families going thru financial Hardships.   Like Layoffs, Illness, sustained Unemployment, Rental Assistance, even sometimes Nutritional Assistance, or Training Programs.  Single Men with no Children have the same dilemma if they lose their Jobs.

And if Unemployment doesn't even cover Rent, and nobody is REALLY Hiring, you're basically fucked.   They've had it on the News lately that all these alleged Job Openings, mebbe are inflated and exaggerated and there's really not that many Jobs actually Hiring?   There is a significant discrepancy that exists between the Number of Jobs Advertised and the Number of Roles Companies are actively looking to fill.  The misleading Advertisements are often called "Ghost Jobs".    In some Cases the Companies are Listing Positions they have no immediate intention of filling.   According to Surveys, as many as 40% of Hiring Managers admitted to Posting Fake Openings last Year!!!   For those seeking Employment this practice creates frustration and wasted Time applying for Jobs that don't even Exist.   

The Niece is running into this problem and said Online Complaints reveal she's not the only one.   The Jobs Data out there clearly isn't even remotely Accurate then, of how many Jobs are really available and unfilled.    And it gives the Illusion to General Public, that there's all these Job Openings out there that people are too Lazy to fill, when in fact, the Jobs don't even Exist and therefore can't be filled, too many people are out of Work right now, desperately want Work, and can't find any.   I'm guessing some Companies are faking these Openings to show and signal they're Growing, even if they're not.    And some are trying to keep their Employees on Edge to make them Feel replaceable.   Some aren't actually increasing their Headcount, they're just Promoting internally too, but are required to Post the Position AS IF they'd consider someone outside of the Company, when, in reality, they're not. 

And of coarse, right now everything is up in Price for those who even have an Income, so, those who don't are in dire straits and serious Crisis.   I don't want The Niece fucking living in her Car, so told her if shit doesn't turn around for her and Eviction is imminent, drive to Arizona and we'll figure something out.  She could help The Daughter apply for SSI and Nutritional Assistance, cover her Food Costs with whatever Unemployment gives her to live on, and keep looking for Work.  She's highly Skilled, so when she does find Work, she's a valuable Asset to whoever Hires her and she's Worked Remotely for Years and knows quite a lot about AI.  She doesn't like or Trust AI and said there's a slew of problems with it already, but, we all pretty much know that even if we're not Tech Gurus.  Even one of the Guys who Developed most of it, and has been called the "Godfather of AI", Geoffrey Hinton, is giving dire Warnings about it now.   Pandora's Box is Open now tho'... and here we now are.

I spoke too soon about The Man quitting his Man Drama about not Feeling Good after his Vaxxes, he's in here now Sighing heavily, going from the Bed to his Recliner and making as many annoyingly pitiful noises to try to get my Attention as he possibly can.  *Eye Roll*  The Dramatics aren't necessary, he could take a Tylenol and a Nap, by Tomorrow he'll be in less discomfort and probably fe just Fine.  He's not in any kind of Medical Crisis, he got Two Shots, it wasn't Brain Surgery!!!  *LOL*   He could go sit in the Livingroom in a Recliner where I didn't have to SEE or HEAR him, but, then it wouldn't be nearly as effective to try to get Attention and Sympathy, now, would it?  *LOL and Rolling my Eyes*  Men are such big Babies when they don't Feel Good and I'm no Nurse Nightingale... I'm more like Nurse Ratchet, Truth be told.  *Winks*  

When I don't Feel Good I sequester myself and wanna be left alone to just feel Better and have Quiet Healing Time.  I'm Stoic when ill or in Pain, so I don't have much tolerance or patience for people who are Drama Queens when they're ill or hurting, I just can't... it fails to incite pity and only arouses irritation for me.   So, I'll give you only so much leeway when you're being overly Dramatic about not Feeling Good, and then I might just Snap, unless you're really, really Seriously ill, to just Knock it Off already!!!  *LOL*   Christ on a Bike... anyone that even Smells like Drama and a Headache I don't even want around me!!!  Go be Misery Personified somewhere else if your Misery Needs Company, I'm NOT The One!!!  *Smiles*   The Son was Laughing about his Dad being so Dramatic, his Sister {The Daughter}, is like that too when she's Sick or just not Feeling good, both can really put it on to where it's comical and so exaggerated you can't take them Seriously and have to see the Humor of it.  *Smiles*

The Son is more like me when he's not feeling good, or in Pain, he just holes up and doesn't make a Production out of any of it, remaining Stoic and not attention seeking.   His Friend Q hurt his Back at Work and ended up going to the ER, he needed to Move so The Son and The Daughter went over to do all the Moving for him, he was in absolutely no Condition to lift anything and I was Worried about him, he was bent over and in Agony.   He's a big Strong Guy but I told him, you're not 20 anymore, so you need to not be lifting like you used to.   Like The Son, both are almost 40 now but do a lot of heavy lifting at their Workplaces and do dangerous Work.  You have to exercise Caution at a certain Age becoz injuries can become permanent or debilitating enuf you never are the same.  

 The Son began his Painkiller Addiction due to a Work related injury Yea5rs ago and Docs prescribing Addictive Painkillers, so you also have to be exceedingly Cautious about what is prescribed.  Q has never done Drugs and I was fearful of what the ER might prescribe and put him on for Pain Management?  He knows how many Years The Son struggled to overcome Opioid Addiction.   And Q has a Wife and Two Young Sons who rely on him so he can't be out of commission and unable to Work.   As it is they've had to move several times recently due to Rents increasing dramatically.  No way he can do his Work in this Condition and I don't know if he filed a Worker's Comp Claim when he hurt himself at Work or not?   That too can be a Gauntlet since Employers don't like to do Employees Right by Workman Comp Claims for Short or Long Term Disability.  And often insist on sending Workers to their Company Doctors, who don't represent the Patient, but are in the Pocket of the Employer.  *Above, me at one of my Grade School Birthdays, I'm the Swarthy Dark one with Long Hair... LOL*

Many Years ago I did some Temporary work at "Albertson's" Grocer Warehouse doing their Inventory Audit and what they sent out to their Stores.  Well, a Careless, Illiterate Spanish Speaking Palette Truck Driver who couldn't Read in either English or Spanish, ignored the Sign you put up when you were Auditing a Shipment that was going out and were between the Row of Palettes of Inventory.   So he started pushing them together with his Palette Truck and was crushing me between them!!!  Luckily another employer saw me and screamed at him to stop, someone was Working the Row, but, I had Crush injuries and had to file a Claim and get Emergency Treatment.  I went to a local ER but the Supervisor never filed my Claim coz it turns out they weren't following OSHA Standards AND Supervisors lost their $200 Weekly Bonus if they had any Injuries on that Week's Shift!!!   *Above is me in a Mug Shot Circa very early 1970's, Channeling Pam Grier's Foxy Brown Character, I think?!  Well, she was Hawt and worthy of Emulating!  Bwahahaha*  I'm wearing a big Fro and Puka Shell Necklace and Puka Shell Earrings, remember those Fads/Trends?!  They're coming Back!  *LMAOROTF, the Young Adults are diggin' it again!!!  Everything Old being New again and Resurrected!   LOL*

It became a Gauntlet to get my Treatment Paid for and get my Disability Payments and Compensation for what turned out to be permanent Crush Injuries to my Feet.   They tried to make me go exclusively to their Company Docs for follow-up but I could tell those Docs were on The Take and just saying you were Fine, when, you clearly weren't, so I'd Paid to go to Independent Docs who weren't associated with the Company, they weren't used to that.   Needless to say, they had to pay me a Settlement coz I Lawyered Up, but I know many Employees, whether Temps for a specific Job being done that isn't permanent, or permanent Employees, are too fearful or not informed enuf to know their Rights and Fight for what they're Entitled to for Injuries and unsafe Working Conditions.

  Anyway, long Story shortened, which, Yeah, I Suck at... *LOL*... the Settlement wasn't even great for the permanent damage to my Feet, which, to this Day I still have Issues with, Crush injuries cause significant Tissue Damage forever.  If you don't have Deep Pockets to Fight on Principle alone, you Settle for a Paycheck and cut your Losses.  I mean, it wasn't a Wrongful Death Suit so, not the Mega Payout to my Family had I been Killed.   I still won't Shop at any of their Grocers knowing how they did me Wrong.   But, pretty sure all Big Companies are the same and retain the best Lawyers, what they pay out is never a fraction of what they make off exploitation or illegal practices, Trust & Believe.  So, I think anyone whose a Victim of their bad Employment Practices should ALWAYS keep putting them on Blast, whatever Employer fucks you over.  This is what happened to DISNEY when the Public Backlash of them Firing Kimmel made them lose Billions and now, guess what, they're rehiring him and he'll be back on the Air by as early as Tomorrow!   Booyah!!! 

 It was about a 7 Billion Dollar Lesson, give or take a Billion, that his Employers Learned the Hard Way in the Court of Public Opinion and hitting them in their Wallets by making it very Public and putting them on Blast.  The ridiculous Sopranos Like Threat from the Far Right of doing it the Easy or the Hard way, wouldn't have Cost them as much to actually Stand for something, grow a set of Cahones, and Push Back against Political Intimidation.  And Caving to the Extortion of this Administration to try to Curry Favor with a Corrupt President and his Sycophants.   An Extortionist is like any Criminal, once they start, they'll never Stop Extorting, Exploiting, Stealing from, Abusing, or Blackmailing their Victims.    Paying Off this Con Artist Grifting Career Criminal Felon and Bully of a President will never be Enough, he'll always come at you for MORE once you haven't stood your Ground and pander to him.  He's abusing his Power and disregarding the Rule of Law and somebody needs to put a Stop to all of it or America is truly Fucked.  ALL of America, not just part of it, coz this can never have a happy ending left unchecked and with no Guardrails in place to ensure it doesn't get even worse and more corrupted and Evil.   When Good People do nothing it's complicit and they become Easy Marks and Prey for the Predators of Society.

My Gal Kamala was on the Rachel Maddow Show and tho' I didn't catch it all, I enjoyed that of it which I watched.   I just wonder what Path American could have been on had we made the Right Choice and Elected her as President opposed to the Fuckery and Ongoing Shitshow and collapse of America we currently now are stuck with?   She did say that even when he's no longer in Power, there is a permanent Situation involving Project 2025 now that America will be Dealing with for a very long time doing Cleanup and Resisting his Acolytes.   I agree, cutting the Head off the Snake won't be enuf coz he's really just a Front Man for shit that's been orchestrated and building for some time, with some very big Bad Actors in place and infiltrated deeply now, long before 2016 actually.  This has been Carefully Planned for a very long time and waiting for just the Right Moment in Time, and the Right consummate Conman Front Man, to implement and dupe the American Public into putting them in Power and rolling it out in Stages.  Like Boiling Frogs in Water by slowly turning up the Heat.

  He's never been the Brains of all of it, the Guy is a fucking Moron and totally Mentally unraveled, plus, he's a Sociopath/Psycho and they never have any Conscience or Moral Compass, and are ALWAYS Dangerous, especially when turned loose with no consequences for their Actions and nobody Stopping them.   Ask any Shrink worth their Salt if this President isn't a Sociopath in their Professional Opinion, even tho' he's not their Patient... I'll wait.   Just listen to that last Speech he just gave about insane Medical Opinions he now has.  About not fucking taking Tylenol, being what he's Fixated on and Obsessed with now, and pretending he's Cured Autism, it was total babble on endless Repeat of himself saying the same thing over and over again, absolute bullshit, and absolutely incoherent.   As bad as his Bleach injections and shooting UV Rays up your Asshole when he gave the COVID Cure Opinions during that infamous Speech during the Pandemic!!!   But, some of his Cult actually shot up Bleach and probably Shined UV Lights up their Assholes!   Most Believe anything coming out of a Leader's Mouth, however outrageous and Mental! 

 Why, becoz, it's coming from the mightiest Pulpit in the World when an American President says anything, so it can be deadly and very dangerous when a President is over The Edge and out of their fucking Mind!   And relies on Lies, intentional Misinformation and Ignorance rather than Truth and Evidence backed up by Skilled Competent Professionals in all Fields.   Agencies we should be able to Trust and rely upon becoz they're looking out for the American People's Best Interest and even Global Best Interests!!!   Fields that shouldn't be perverted by Corrupt Leadership and Nepo Hires who aren't up to the Job and grossly unqualified.   Or are on a Revenge and Retribution Tour to get back at those they Target as their Enemies or whoever Disagrees with them, or have Loyalty to One Man rather than to the Constitution and the American People or our Country.   The Crazy Train has been Wheels Off the Rails now since 2016 and gaining momentum now we got Train Wreck 2.0 in full swing folks, we better hurry up and decide how to Stop the eventual Train Wreck from culminating or the carnage will be substantially more than it already is.   And some Fatal Wrecks have few, if any, Survivors and can have epic Collateral Damage in their Wake.

*******

Don't be on board a Crazy Train my Friends, be part of the Resistance to it leaving the Station and careening any further down the Tracks heading for the epic Wreck it will surely have ... Dawn... The Bohemian
