Looking at my morning news feed, I see a lot of irony.
Two days ago on Tuesday, Biden delivers a speech on inflation.

But the next day he cancels massive oil and gas leases.

Canada has the cure for you if inflation is giving you the blues.

You do not need to convince me that the world and specifically, this country is going to hell. I know that people have probably been saying that for a hundred years, but this time, it cannot be disputed. The freaks that keep getting elected are not helping.
From my viewpoint, the tranquil 1950's were just fine. So what if we only had one phone for the whole house. Progress was a 25 foot extension cord!
Back then, everybody could build a hotrod and formal dress was unwashed Levis. We had "cleats" on Low quarter" shoes-as they were called in the military. And the military didn't allow girls! Tennis shoes were PF Flyers. black high tops.
The most dangerous thing we did on a Saturday night was to steal hubcaps. Drag races on city streets were common. It was a pretty big deal to get past 1st base!
Yeah, progress is great! I can't really put my finger on exactly when it all started to go to hell, but you can't look around and think we have really improved America; fuck the rest of the world!
Where will it all end? Can you imagine half the boys transitioning to girls and half the girls wanting to pee standing up, driving a Tesla. What do those people to to pass the time while getting their battery recharged? I know! They get on facebook, but what do they do, actually, on facebook? I'll never know, or Tweet, either. I'm probably really missing out?

It's going to get entertaining when the Greenies have to decide whether they want to charge their cars or run their air conditioners off of the overloaded power grids.

In my occupation, I worked in a bunch of food plants, from pharmaceuticals to meat packing, cosmetics and dairy. There, they had an excellent actual reason for battery powered forklifts. Tesla does not. It's a gimmick. If these ignorant assholes, like California want to pass laws to outlaw internal combustion engines, it only proves how stupid the bastards are. It's not needed and it's not logical.
We need to stop allowing the environ-whackos to run policy. They only have a elementary Disney concept of how things work and running a huge country with electric vehicles is just plain ignorant. It's not feasible and it won't work. A reasonable intelligent human can figure it out but Liberals aren't intelligent and are mostly mentally ill. You cannot reason with stupidity, we should be allowed to beat the shit out of them!

I had lunch with two guys I use to work with. One of them moved to Showlow and started working at a local grade school. He quit because young girls were approaching him. He said one 15 year old told him to push her down on the ground and get her pregnant. This guy is a real straight shooter. The girl probably said fuck me, but this guy doesn't cuss at all. He quit after that.
The wife and I watched the movie "The Human Comedy' two nights ago" starring Mickey Rooney. It was nice to see how America once was. I wish we were still like that today. This new normal sucks. What is right is wrong and what is wrong is right. It’s the Obama years on steroids.
When I was young, we would play in irrigation ditches when it was hot. Play baseball during the day , and tag football at night. For indoor amusement, we would read comic books. My school cafeteria severed good food too.
Both of my parents where school teachers. I asked my dad what went wrong with education. His reply was the education system went downhill when Jimmy Carter started the U.S. Department of Education, and the Fed started providing money to schools based on daily enrollment. When that happened, the schools didn’t want to expel the trouble makers and loose the federal money. So one asshole student stays in the class and takes up 80 percent of the teacher’s time. I heard that from another teacher too that was around before the Fed got involved.

A lot of these lefties believe in some very crazy stuff. I have a leftist sister and she says the Egyptians used the pyramids to produce electric power. She is a complete nutcase.
I didn't waste my time asking where that idea comes up with. I didn't want to even hear it.

I'm not saying you were wrong, I guess you know your own sister. BUT. At some point these radicals need to back up their bullshit. I don't like to rattle their cage but if you push them out of their comfort zone and they start jabbering these insanities, maybe a few would stop and think: umm, let's see how did they do it and what was the application? Did they use that electricity to power their donkey cart or for banana/pineapple smoothies in their blender? Neither of which were known during the 18th Dynasty. Ya gotta half way talk like it's sensible and egg 'em on until they trip. That's just me and I never make a lot of friends with my attitude anyway, but <shrug>

Try to argue facts with a lib and invariably they will end up using the phrase "Well, at least he's not Trump".
I consider the debate won at that point.

I did ask her what did they use the electricity for. She wasn't specific at all. She said for lots of things. She also believes we have aliens from outer space living among us. Whenever I see that Zuckerberg dude I thing she might be right.
