Enemies

Huge self-own that made China and Russia stronger while weakening both Canada and the US. Fucking moronic.

Our enemies are now in control of the country. And I don’t mean conservatives. I mean (obviously) China and Russia.

RTO Joke

Corporate said anyone within 50 miles of an office needs to return to office by May.

I told you all years ago WFH would not last. That’s because MBAs love control more than productivity or anything else; it is why they became MBAs in the first place. They’d demand RTO if it tanked productivity and profits by 90% (which in some companies it probably will, as you lose your best people immediately).

Without butts in seats and a kingdom of visible and compliant slaves to lord over, why even have a company?

Gatherers

People claim the US does the same thing. Sometimes, sort of. But the difference is that any Chinese company is actually under the full control of the CCP. They are all extended intelligence-gathering operations by design. It is one of their primary purposes.

And who would want that?

DOGE Gone

I’ve been planning for Social Security not to exist when I retire and looks like DOGE might make that happen. Glad I started planning for that more than 20 years ago.

Poverty rate is gonna jump and elderly are gonna be dying in the streets. But we all knew it was coming. Well, the smart ones did. The rich absolutely despise Social Security and covet that money. It was only a matter of time before they stole it all.

Down Is Up

At first, the solidarity was breathtaking. Out of concern for ourselves and one another, we suspended nearly all interpersonal activity for months, wiping our lives almost entirely clean of the very people we were trying to protect.

Covidians: THERE WAS NO LOCKDOWN! IT’S A MYTH! A LIE!

Anyone sane: Looks like a fuckin’ lockdown to me.

Of course the clown-ass crazy-fuck Covidians mean that no one came around welding your door shut as occurred in China. Which was their greatest wish, their fondest desire. They only care about taking things away and harming people so of course that’s what they wanted.

Let’s be glad we didn’t cede that much ground to those barking-mad bullshit artists.

Pill Bugs

Probably is the smartphone/social media combo. That’s a cognitive poison pill we’re wholly unsuited to deal with.

He Found the Self-Destruct Button

I thought the idea absurd in 2015-2016 that Trump might be a Russian agent, or least on their payroll. Now I think it’s probably substantially true.

Has a country so large ever destroyed itself so quickly? Maybe Germany in the lead-up to WWII, but even that was slower if I’ve read my history correctly.

Early Onset Alzheimer’s

Smartphones and social media are enormous cognitohazards that are now actually destroying intelligence too. Not surprising, but more than alarming.

Phone addicts, cry harder.
