Welcome back

Welcome back….so I decided to start my blog fresh since I wasn’t posting as often as I would have liked and I feel like starting anew in this not so new year would be a good move. So with that said, lets move on to matters that I care about.

Welcome to 1930, oh how we missed you depression era America. I would like to give a big shout out to the religious right, wealthy aristocracy and social climbing morons who sold us all collectively down the river so you could live out your own personal John Galt/Jesus fantasies. Sorry folks but neither of the previously mentioned fictional heroes will be coming to save you so I would advise you take your head out of your collective asses and observe the mess you have made. In a future blog I will elaborate more on this subject of how we came to this mess but for now I will just say I told you so, mainly since I have been predicting this meltdown since circa 2003. If you are wondering how in the world I saw this coming so far in advance I will give you a cute anecdotal answer and a more complete one in future blogs.

Back in 2003 I had some friends get into the mortgage industry selling this brand new awesome kind of loan called “sub prime”. Long story short, they made tens of thousands of dollars and did their part to fuck the entire world over in the process. Needless to say these friends were not the most ambitious people I know, or even that smart, and if there is one thing that is a constant right up there will death and taxes, it is that when people this worthless and greedy can start making money like this….someone is getting scammed..HARD. Unfortunately the group getting scammed was the entire world financial community, and by that I mean your parents 401K because the really rich ones got golden parachutes and government hand outs. Pro tip: if the dumbest people you know are making thousands selling something to the other dumbest people you know….buy gold…lots and lots of gold and move to Canada.

Moving on to things in the news that make me laugh when I shouldn’t be, Bernnie Madoff. Ok so the politically correct thing to do in this case is to say how sorry you feel for his victims, but lets get real people. Bernnie Madoff didn’t steal from girl scouts selling cookies outside of Ralphs. He stole 65 billion from wealthy individuals who had the connections to even be invited to invest with him. Now granted, his shenanigans helped drag down other perfectly viable investments that many actual innocent people had their life savings in, and for those people I am profoundly saddened. But for those who directly invested their money with Bernnie….tough shit. If you think I or any other American should feel bad for these people, please feel free to kiss my entire ass. We as Americans need to stop siding with the rich and powerful and remember that these people would sell any one of us down the river for their own security any day of the week, and in case you haven’t looked outside lately…THEY ALREADY HAVE.

Moving on to unrelate news that is shocking and awesome…Walmart is giving 2 billion in bonuses to their employees because of a jump in sales in the first quarter. Normally I would make fun of this soulless piece of shit corporation, but for once they did good and I want to acknowledge that in case you guys missed it. I’m sure in a week I will have forgotten this kind act and will go right back to hating the shit out of them.

Thanks for reading my first blog in a while, feel free to drop in daily for updates as I am committing myself to posting at least once a day from here on out. Take care
