I Need That!

 


Temu. I use it. I buy from them quite often. I have never been disappointed regarding the quality of a product. I just read an article written by an unhappy Temu customer. He claims the product was inferior because it was made in China.

Knock, knock (((clink, clink, clunk))) When is the last time you bought something not made in China? He says in the article (if you don't want to read it, up there. It's right up there!) that he ordered another 'thing' from Amazon.

Knock, knock (((clink, clunk, bonk))) He didn't mention where that 'thing' was made. 

I have not ordered anything since Trump became king. I may have to wait six to eight weeks for delivery, if I get it at all now.

Let's not be silly here. If America can make a product that doesn't cost twenty times more than a 'thing' made overseas, I'd buy it. I cannot think of any American product I have purchased recently. 

Do I feel guilty there are young people in China working sixty hours a week with minimum wage? Kind of, sort of, somewhat.

It's called cognitive dissonance, and I suffer from it.

Mittens Romney marveled at the Chinese when he visited there in his campaign against Obama. The made $2 an hour and the jobs were so desirable they had to have a fence & guards to keep out the people who wanted those great jobs and might just sneak in and start working... Clearly he thought we could do that here! But we'd have to lower the wages a bit to make it economically feasible for the corporations... Rich people are assholes.

An Empty Vessel

He fills his head with Bible quotes  to silence the storm inside  An empty, hollow shell he mimics in disguise  You were not wanted You were unplanned  You are a nothing You have no stand  He bows his head and speaks in tongues  to still the flames of rage the pretender, fake, the fraud  hiding in plain sight You were a mistake  A thirty minute accident  a constant regretful memory  who seeks reason to breathe  from holy ghosts  and devils in red ties  the more you take the lesser man you are smoke and mirrors a shifting shape unseen  You are a mistake  You know it well A fake, a fraud, a lie. *Yes, I'm thinking of a certain someone we know.

Denver, Dover, Dever

Image
  OMG! Kelly Denver, I mean Dover, no, Dever was on the stand in the Karen Read Trial. Holy Moly!  In 2023, she wrote a statement claiming she saw two Canton police officers who were in the sallyport "for a wildly long time." where Karen Read's SUV had been towed. Now Devers, who gets snippy if her name is mispronounced, says that was all a false memory. She now says she wasn't even working at the time the SUV was brought in. Taking the stand on Monday, she accused the defense of angrily confronting her after learning she had changed her testimony, then Dever's states they threatened to charge her with perjury. She said she went to the FBI to make a complaint. Alan Jackson, the defense attorney asks, "Do you have a report?" Naturally, she did not, because she made no such report.  Of all the people who have pissed me off, and there is a long list, she is by far the worst. She is a cop whose recall of events is crucial. She is hostile and a terrible liar....

FAFO Literally

   Gosh, well isn't that generous. $5,000.  I'm gonna go out right now and find me an Elon, ready to spare some sperm and have me some babies. I'll be rich! Oh, wait... Ooh, that's gonna put a dent in my FA for the cause. Let's see... $5,000 - $2,854 = $2,146 left for me to... Oh, wait... Hmm... so, $70 x 12 = $840, which leaves me with $1,306. So, I will need a bassinet, crib, some bedding, burpy towels, baby wipes, baby bottles, formula, breast pump, room monitor, pediatrician, onesies, uh ... I need to work! Who's going to care for my baby while I'm gone!? I'm so tired. I can't do this. The government has shut down all assistance. What am I going to do with a baby!? I think I'll go have a glass of wine with my peeps instead. *All information Googled.
