Make Me A 60 Watt

 


 I admit I'm not the brightest bulb. I'm a 30 watt. I am confused about the stock market. I don't own any stock. Zero. 

So, that 5 trillion plunge... how does that affect me?

Asking for a friend. She's a 20 watt.

Please tell me why I should be worried about the plight of people who have money to buy stocks.

Tesla is faltering. Yay! 

Right?

Now Buffy can't buy her hairless cat a diamond necklace.

I thought the stock market was a gamble. Nothing is guaranteed. You could lose all your investment, or win and buy a bigger boat.

I never, not once heard a blue collar worker talk about his stock. I'm sure there are loads of non millionaire, billionaire people who invest because they want more money. Money. Money. Money.

Yeah, I like money. Never really had much, so don't care about the risk takers who want more. I have a nice apartment, clothes to wear, food in the fridge. 

I don't think these people gambling in the market are worried about an empty refrigerator. They want to travel, buy boats, eat at five star restaurants, and some even save some for retirement. That's cool. I have no problem with that. I just don't think I need to care if you just lost it all. 

So. Why do people who have zero stock need to worry? What would happen if it just disappeared?

Make me a 60 watt and enlighten me.

I was so bright as a child my father called me lightbulb instead of sun. The money stuff I hear on TV totally loses me. It all seems like mathamagic. Elong Muskovite was up like $150 billion after the election, and now he's down by more than that. No idea how they keep score. I just know these peoplewould cry if they were down to their last billion. That's sad.

Careful you don't touch a Tesla. Could get twenty years. I read a piece which showed how much Musk could spend in a day and how long before he would run out. It was mind blowing.

An Empty Vessel

Image
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

  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

Image
   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.
