Why Socialism Seems Like the Only Solution

I’ll get crucified for saying this, but here goes. I watch a LOT of YouTube about current events, because I get the truth there, at least from the videos I watch. There’s a lot of talk about Mamdani right now, as you know. He touts Socialism but he really wants a dictatorship, if you listen to HIS own speeches. Not what somebody wrote about his speeches: HIS speeches.

His election has proven that the disparity between the classes has become top of mind. There is no more middle class. It has been systematically erased, but workers are still being beaten to produce, produce, produce so the products can be mandatorily swept away. Cash grabbing is so common it’s not even hidden anymore. Right out loud, workers are hearing, “Give me your money or go to prison”.

Our ads, social media and daily life tout wealth, wealth, wealth, but obviously most people are not rich. Instead, most ‘normal’ people are losing sleep over finances, as their money has been sucked upward towards the Zuckerbergs, the Soroses, the Clintons, the Bezoses, the Gateses, the ‘government servants’ who steal right in front of Americans, without consequences..on and on. The current government system is upended and the youth can see it. Polls say a scary population of young people want ‘socialism’, even though they cannot describe what that means. They are sick of the current government system and who can blame them?

Average people have seen their grocery money, their house payment money, their healthcare dollars handed to ridiculous programs in other countries they can’t even find on a map. And the assumption is that those dollars actually GO to some program or other, and not into the account of, say, Pelosi, for example. And they see their government stealing their hard earned dollars while these actual criminals are also being bought and paid for by lobbyists; they have money coming in from everywhere. Government officials in this system are rewarded for criminal theft, while never giving a thought to the consequences to the workers (tax payers). This current government system encourages handing the reins to pharmaceutical executives with NO idea how to run a country, to ‘healthcare’ execs with NO idea how to run a country, to insurance company execs with NO idea how to run a country. These entities have forgotten the people, the PEOPLE whom they are supposed to serve, and instead view us as merely a piggy bank there for them to rob at will. And who is there to stop them? Apparently, nobody. And while We the Piggy Bank are robbed, our rights are diminishing. ‘Socialism’ inches closer.

Yet the EXPECTATION for lower class people (remember no more middle class) is that you must be rich. So people become desperate and overly competitive, and will do anything to get money. Remember money is the only goal now, hence the violent behavior invading society and the wholesale disregard for the well-being of others. The people with calluses on their hands are now struggling and the ones with soft hands have the majority of the wealth: huge disincentive to even try, but we must, to feed the beast. That’s why ‘the trades’ are now more interesting to pursue than education. Bill Gates couldn’t plumb a house, but he’ll PAY to have it done. And I should add that ‘education’ also doesn’t exist anymore. Now, you show up, you get a college degree, setting up even more unqualified ‘leaders’ scrambling to the money trough we call ‘government’. This is one of the cornerstones for the demise of Democracy.

The ones making decisions about the future of actual workers, many of whom are COMPLETELY unqualified to lead anything, are the ones who never broke a sweat, so to speak. Our society has somehow made the ridiculous leap in cognition, that more money makes you an expert at everything. This might be the worst cornerstone of destruction of democracy. This ridiculous paradigm makes Bill Gates and Fauci qualified to mandate unproven, experimental substances be injected into all people. (Not THIS person!) It gives Bill Gates access to people in Africa to be lab rats for birth control. This should frighten everybody and yet…yet, statistically nobody is even aware. He seems to believe that an entire population of another continent are his to play with, because he is rich. Think about that. BTW Africa was used as a test site a looooong time ago. Think polio vaccine. Read about it.

Then the exhausted worker bees get to see the videos of newly purchased yachts that cost a million dollars a month, just for docking and upkeep. Bad idea. So, that’s the look and actually, the reality. Lower classes (remember middle class no longer exists) look to find financial relief and they see it ‘way up there’, in the hands of people who never knew how it feels to worry about making ends meet OR to feel complete fatigue from exhaustive work. Forget about the young people who cannot even dream about home ownership now, very possibly never, at your peril. These youth very possibly saw their working parents lose their home, remember. Even with all the hard work, Mom and Dad lost their dream. Under the current government system…These circumstances and many others, set up resentment about the imbalance: “You don’t know how it feels to be me”; yet, you make the rules by which we live.

Meanwhile…poor people from other collapsed economies (socialist, dictatorship) believe the hype of free-stuff America and here they come, believing they won’t have to work, tipping the imbalance even further and putting more burden on the actual workers. And corrupt politicians welcome them in, just to remain in power over the piggy banks of workers. Nobody seems even slightly capable of understanding that the backs upon which these wealth climbers have ridden, are breaking or broken. It is also clear that these grifters are now so wealthy that they have zero need to care about the backs of workers. They’ve gotten theirs (from you, so you are no longer needed). READ THAT AGAIN…workers are no longer needed! So the current government is psychopathic. This system CANNOT survive. This is elementary and yet, people don’t GET IT. There’s your education system, folks. And the question is: Should we care?

Remember Chinese youth ‘laying down’? That illustrated a complete collapse of faith in their government system…and wasn’t that Socialism? The Chinese youth were right. There is NEVER enough money for money hungry criminals, never. Even at the peril of the ones working for the money they take. Until there is a way to reset ‘wealth’, new voters are GOING to ‘kill’ the current system that seems determined to kill them. This seems like first grade stuff to me. Once upon a time in a college class years ago, I asked the professor if he saw a ‘great leveling effect’ as I called it, on the distant horizon because of the outsourcing of everything American. He pooh poohed the idea. Wonder how he likes me now. This is why youth are leaning towards ‘Socialism’. They want something to believe in and the current system, for them, just ain’t it. Socialism isn’t either, by the way, but they vote and they think they want it.

I’ve watched decades of government ‘leaders’ by now, and the current system no longer works for the middle class workers, the ones it was designed for, by the way. It’s too easy to corrupt, the hacks are in place, and money has become absolute God for government ‘workers’. I’ve been proud to be American for a long time; now I’m frustrated and disappointed and sad. Don’t get me wrong, I am not a ‘Socialist’. I know that system does NOT work because it becomes, or even starts out as, a dictatorship. And besides, even if Socialism was a good idea, it’s populated by humans who would destroy an anvil with a rubber hammer. No good thing survives humans.

“Socialism comes across as a push to lighten the load on ordinary workers and make sure the benefits of the economy aren’t concentrated only at the top.” -AI

The problem is, ‘the top’ is ALREADY IN CONTROL and how are you doing with your finances? I rest my case. For goodness sake read that AGAIN.

So what am I trying to say? I’m saying: we need a whole new system. New requirements for ‘government workers’, EDUCATION, term limits, INCOME LIMITS for politicians, psychological evaluation, a ban on purple hair (yes I did say it), JAIL FOR POLITICIANS WHO steal from the government. AND…wait for it…

Teach imbeciles that WE ARE THE GOVERNMENT! You are, I am, your mama is, your neighbor is, your preacher, your sister…are you UNDERSTANDING YET? When you steal from the government, you are stealing from ME, and in case you missed it, I’m sick of it.

Learn to use BRAIN.

You’ll notice in this image that there are no cords, no batteries. This is the instrument that requires some thought to be in place before keys are struck. It is a typewriter. Purely mechanical, purely reliant upon ideas to come from the mind of operator, or someone plagiarized, which has become all too frequent. Once upon a time…relax, it’s not Snow White…people used these to produce written text: Letters, memos, books, reports, even tests for school. Remember tests? You know, before merit was killed off and education became indoctrination, before actual education was eliminated. There was a brief moment when it was ‘dumbed down’; but then it was snuffed out. This is why people at Harvard can’t do math, that statement I’ve been making for a long time now.

Once upon a time, people had to rely upon “The Big Three” (ABC, NBC, CBS) for news. Anchors on these networks were greatly respected, even revered. Why? Well you could never tell what their own opinions were. Why did that matter? Because we didn’t tune in to hear an editorial rant; we tuned in to watch news, not their OPINION of the news, and we got the truth. How we processed that was up to us; we had to think about it.

These days, all we get from Main Stream Media is garbage attempts to disrupt and indoctrinate. Main Stream is a misnomer now anyway. Main Stream is actually YouTube now. Now, there are thousands and thousands of places to get info about any single news story. So for thinking people (aka people with the ability to think), this is paradise. For thinking people, we are in our element.

The world is full of scared, lazy, time-out everybody gets a trophy for showing up generations. How do you like it, lazy parents? It’s a mess! I’ll tell you, I’m so tired of people in media saying julery instead if jewelry, saying ‘real-i-tor’ instead of REALTOR, and they are in the anchor chair!! In my opinion, if you cannot pronounce the name of your career, you should be kicked out of it. In any case, you advertise your lack of education when you cannot pronounce everyday words. You want to say it that way? Okay, just stay off of my radio and TV. Bottom line is that we are seeing the ‘I showed up’ crowd now in charge. No WONDER we have global issues.

On top of rewarding ignorance, we have allowed rampant violent aggression to become the norm. Whatever emotion pops up first is okay to act out, and more and more often, it is hate and anger. What is the solution? Who can say. I do think it would be a good idea for schools to teach logic, beginning right from the start. Teach teamwork, right from the start, and punish hateful aggression. We have to cure the cancer that has infected our world.

Not everything is a crisis.

Speaking of crisis (you know I have to talk about real estate), sometimes people need a realtor BECAUSE of a crisis. Okay I’m talking about divorce. I’m shaking my head. Now, most marriages end that way. Sad. But know, if you are heading that way, there are RULES in real estate. Better get an experienced agent…and one who will understand what you are going through. That’s me.

Politicians MUST Be Intelligent

Yes. Here’s an image of a young male to represent an intelligent US politician. That’s Ai folks. Ai chose that. So if you want to get upset, figure that one out. And forgive me for using intelligent and politician in the same sentence. OH OKAY, that’s low hanging fruit. I couldn’t help myself. But think about where we are and the current administration, for context. If you have operating gray matter, you may get a better understanding of our world. And you may understand that it doesn’t REALLY matter who the leader is given the challenges, along with the likelihood of a qualified leader; however, if the leader has intelligence, our chances of survival in the short term are better.

As an aside, let me just say that the less intelligent now have a lot of access to nukes, so there’s that.

For personal input, my government leaders can wear plush, lime green dinosaur costumes to work, as long as they are highly intelligent, able to apply that intelligence successfully for the good of the country, and as long as they don’t kill me and my fellow Americans. And I’d prefer that this person in the dinosaur suit keep in MIND that other government leaders will think they are an IDIOT when they see that behavior, which will RUIN our position of power in negotiating. So leave the freaking dinosaur suit at home while in meetings or while on camera. How you FEEL about YOURSELF does not matter. How others view you is CRITICAL on the world stage. Don’t get me started on the White House as a nursing home. And by the way, how others view you is critical in all of life. So GROW UP, get out of egocentricity and recognize that you are one of 8 BILLION people on earth. It’s not all about you.

And then there’s the statistic that says politics attracts psychopaths. Hahaha. I like to keep you on your toes. I swear I’m laughing out loud right now. We’re so screwed.

But about psychopaths…keeping a dying person alive and teaching him how to walk on his toes so he won’t topple over is just wrong. Remember cameras? Remember how other world leaders view us as it relates to our position of power? Yeah. Psychopaths couldn’t care less. Their focus is and always will be inward. Where does that leave the populous? Well, poorer than the politician, for sure.

I always have YouTube on in the morning while I have coffee, and always choose non-fiction to watch…if there is such a thing anymore. THIS morning, I selected a documentary about Chinese youth. I’m a fan. But, what an eye-opening documentary this one was. And as always, it got me thinking. Come with me on these many rabbit trails, will you?

I got a glimpse of what it is like for Chinese youth today, working hard to be smart, to get that degree, and to rush out into the work force, where the likelihood of finding a job after all of that work, is heartbreakingly low, statistically insignificant (if you don’t know that term, look it up). Hence the reason many of them have decided to ‘lay down’ or ‘let it rot’. So sad, and understandable. I also learned that their leader blocking their access to actual employment numbers, isn’t helping. That’s censorship and it’s coming home to roost over there too. Why? Because the young people are actually being shut out of the work force! They already know! News flash: experience trumps propaganda. I can now better understand why I see so many Chinese people here, working. Having jobs. I get it. America, the land of opportunity. But how long can that last?

I went for the numbers, went for math, which cannot lie. And okay, I looked at America, because, uh, this is where I live. For fact checkers and for giving credit where credit is due, I Googled EVERYTHING. Why? Because it’s at my fingertips and I don’t own a library of Congress, and this is a blog post, not an application for a Nobel Peace Prize. But you can also Google. Or ride your bicycle to the library. Or walk, walking is good too. And, do I have to say this? Numbers change. Babies are born, people die, you get the idea.

In the US, we have about 341,814,420. Of that number there are about 9,570,080 are looking for jobs. That’s all working age from 15-65. PRIME working age is supposedly 25-54. That’s a joke. I started working in the single digits of age and am STILL working. That 54 number needs to be higher. Not sure about the 25 now.

According to newly released Census and Bureau of Labor Statistics data, about 20% of Americans over age 65 — a total of 10.6 million people (10,600,000) — are either working or looking for work. See what I mean?

How many of us Americans are looking for a job and can’t find one? That’s 7,100,000.

How many actual jobs are out there? Well that’s 7,700,000. That means jobs not filled. This is why it takes so long to even FIND a job, if you’re looking.

And how many Americans are not in a job and not LOOKING for a job? That’s 64,944,739. Go into the reasons people are not looking? Women, you won’t like THAT statistic. You occupy the largest percentage of that group. Some of the stated reasons are good ones, like military, school or caregiving, but let’s face it: “I’m a lazy parasite” was not one of the choices on the form. COME ON, you know they’re out there.

So. It makes a difference if you see the actual numbers as opposed to a percentage, which always looks small. And given these numbers you can see how the recent migration numbers will ultimately effect us.

Now, let’s look at how we can fix this crap. Take a deep breath. I’m laughing again. I can see a LITTLE bit of what the government keeps doing to us. It’s like being on that amusement park ship ride, the one that is just a giant swing. It goes WAY up on one side, the drops down to the bottom before going WAY up on the other side. Whoooooaaaaa. And sometimes you get puked on by the ones who are above you on that part of the ride. Hahaha. Sorry, that’s our government, trying to work with these big numbers.

You can create jobs by lowering interest rates OR expanding money supply. If you want to make your lobbyists happy, you create money (we’ve seen that, right?) They call it a ‘stimulus’. Holy cow. If you focus on the PEOPLE, you lower rates. If you do either of those things, you create a surge in demand for goods and services. More jobs, right? But wait, there’s MORE.

If you DO either of those things, you hurt the actual value of money (also known as inflation). Purchasing power decreases! Oops. And prices rise. Well there go those jobs you just created, but man does that number look good in MSM (main stream media) for that 15 minutes. Are you getting a glimpse of how we’re on that ship ride after all? Hahaha. We’re so screwed.

If you look at changing the population demographic, well there’s another quagmire. What if you make the over 65 group sit down and get out of the workforce? Well, some would say that the older ones fill the jobs the “lazy parasites” won’t do. OR, retirees cannot afford to stay home, because…inflation, interest rates, print money…you see? AND according to stats, older folks are still fit and able to work.

What if we stop reproducing ourselves? I’m a fan of that. But…that’s what China did and then there were not enough working people to pay into the government programs. Hmmm. There were a lot of old folks in China who were on our equivalent of Social Security. That was a disaster, which caused the reversal of the ‘one child only’ law over there. You have to have youth in jobs to support things like welfare, medicare, etc. Yeah, even in the US. But you can see why Social Security is targeted every single election, right? And yet we bring in tens of millions of welfare recipients into the US. Does that make any sense to you? Because I’m trying to figure out just how STUPID politicians are. I keep digging and digging and can’t get to the bottom. The answer is, “Nope, there’s more stupidity to come. Keep digging!”

Good grief, do you see how convoluted this crap gets? Makes me wonder about that flu that took out so many old folks. Definitely not laughing.

So. Statistics. Well, you say, all the jobs have gone to China! Think about it. The percentages remain pretty ‘static’ for a long time. So if you send more jobs but people keep reproducing themselves, NOTHING CHANGES. Ugh.

What if more people have college degrees then? Let’s make them an entitlement. Everybody gets one, like a ‘participation trophy’. That way, there’s no chance for discrimination. Well, you have just killed the value of a diploma. Like inflation. See how it all ties together? So now we have MILLIONS of people waving around their diploma who can’t SPELL, don’t know the plural form of words, you know, the ones I yell at on my TV!

Beware, these will be your government leaders soon. Crap. OUR government leaders.

Let me make you laugh again. This is a quote: It’s impossible to definitively say how many people with blue hair are currently looking for a job because there’s no reliable data tracking hair color alongside job search status, but the number is likely very small relative to the overall job seeker population as blue hair is considered a non-standard appearance that might be discouraged in certain workplaces.

That’s your Ai again, folks.

This goes back to the stats on recent college grads who are getting fired after less than 6 months in a job. It ties in together. How others view us matters more than many would like to acknowledge.

Again with the appearance thing. And can I just say? I like the pale pinks and pale lavender hues and even thought about doing a small version of it once. And the burgundy tones in black hair are lovely. But if you go blue or green? You narrow your choices unless you are brilliant. (see paragraph 3)

Tatoos? Well statistics say that they are more accepted in the workplace and don’t overly inhibit your chances to be hired. There are your choices folks. LOL.

See, all of this started with a documentary. The mind of the left brain dominant.

Have a wonderful 2025! Hope springs eternal. Hahaha.

Walmart Ends Wokeness

I watched a YouTube video by Robby Starbucks. I’m a little late on this, but it matters and you might want to track him down and watch him work. He is impressive.

The world is trying to right itself from its upside-down aspect. I am hopeful that this will work. I’m sick to death of the insanity and I have said one hundred times, “I’m going to jail.” I am a rule follower, a stickler, a thinker whose most often used word is “why?”. I’m fed up with feeling fed up. And I cannot believe I was steeling myself for incarceration. But I was. At the very least I expected to be hit in the face with produce in the grocery store for not using the right PRONOUN. I just threw up in my mouth a little bit. I’ve been called a grammar snob. IMAGINE me using ‘their’ for a single, solitary person. AIN’T HAPPENING.

Robby Starbucks is my hero of the month. I have a lot of heroes. He’s near the top. Robby stood in the breach and actually opened his mouth and shouted! He did something. He’s not from the “I’m Okay; Your’re Okay” generation, thank goodness. Many of us in the ‘silent majority’ are not cowards; we were just taught that people can be whom they are. And that’s OKAY! I really believe that. Who am I to judge? I don’t. Unless you start stomping on my toes. And listen, it probably it is okay to be whomever you want to be, unless you are a knife wielding murderer, or, as it turns out, unless you try to force your ideology down my throat. That’s NOT okay. And even if I didn’t realize it (I did), it didn’t feel good going down. And besides, I have my OWN ideology. My ideology happens to align with the majority…the normal group.

So Robby points out, and I can’t believe he needed to, that the way the inmates were taking over the asylum was by indoctrination in school, further brainwashing in college, and insertion into positions of authority in corporations and government. Yeah, I’ve been saying that for a long time. But I knew there was nothing I could do. I have become voiceless and valueless. But Robby is young, strong, smart, and brave, unafraid to shout. Thank God. And listen, normal people are not cowards; we, individually, just have no venue by which to push back.

And if the word ‘normal’ pisses you off, you never took statistics. GOOGLE IT.

So now Robby is systematically going after corporations to alert them that they are about to be GONE from the landscape. Gone because they threw mud, or another brown substance, at the ones keeping their businesses going, the customers. How did we keep the businesses going? By spending the money we made by working. That’s a lost idea: work. But my hero Robby reminded them about Bud Light and how FAST their stock tanked and of the power of a customer base, pissed off. Tractor Supply skidded to a stop so fast before reversing their DEI initiative that I can still smell burning rubber. John Deere? They have SO many more issues than DEI that I can’t even talk about them. And Harley DAVIDSON??? Ohhhhhh my God. That one deserves a WTF?

See, the thing is, the executives of these corporations had to be TOLD what was happening, and that’s what I want to talk about. THINK about this now: Top level executives just ROLLED onto the woke wagon without a second thought. Yeah, that sounds like a good idea. Let’s discriminate against all white people, all regular working people, Christians, especially white MEN. Let’s bring in the most anti-social, the most anti-authority, the most offensive groups of people to interface with the public, the ones who pay the wokies. Do you see anything wrong with that? Well if you’re reading this you do.

What’s wrong is the the executives are out of touch, perched in their private silo, stupid. I know. That sounds harsh. Don’t care. It’s true. The executives are social-blind. They’re rich, but they’re out of touch. That’s redundant, of course. The executives are all too wiling to give over their companies to activists. When have activists ever been in the majority? Well…now. WE are the activists now, by speaking with our feet and our wallets. We will not spend money with companies who adopt racism as their way of doing things. Yes, racism. Don’t believe me?

Where are the white men in commercials? Where are the white men in TV shows? Where are the white men in ads about family and marriage. ALL white women are married to only black men now. That’s okay, if it’s true, but it’s not true. It’s the woke idiots trying to erase white men. I LIKE white men. I want them back.

There has been a movement to turn men into sissies. And it has worked to a great extent, but let’s ask the people of Western North Carolina how many of the limp sissie boys grabbed a chain saw or fired up an earth mover to clear out post-hurricane debris. Yeah, it was the ‘toxic white males’ who dug out the dead bodies, rescued victims from water, mud, trees, who pulled vehicles out of the raging water, rebuilt roads and towns. Yeah, toxic white men did that. And the estrogen boys? Well you can find them. Listen to them saying “like” every third word. There they are.

I rest my case.

But again, I digress. My point is that the generation who got a trophy for showing up, or worse, a DIPLOMA for showing up, is now in charge (for a few more weeks). Well done, parents. Well done. A college degree is now not even worth the paper it is printed on. college degrees have been cheapened, rendered lies. AND, these uneducated people are trying to take down America. Why? Because it’s all about feelings. As in: Walmart just wanted to “foster a sense of Belonging” (their policy). Two things. Belonging is capitalized by Walmart, not me. Emphasis on the idea of ‘belonging’ is about FEELINGS. No thought at all about their customer base nor what going woke might do to their bottom line. Stupid. Stupid stupid stupid. Either Walmart execs are dumb as hell, or they HIRED someone dumb as hell to write that memo. And second…where did the Walmart execs go to college? That’s where they were no doubt indoctrinated. Indoctrination is not education, in case these knuckleheads don’t realize that. And, people are just plain fed up.

Leading to another rabbit hole. If you want to get to the bottom of current society’s poison, you have to dig to the bottom. That would be schools. Once, schools were a place to learn, and to learn to THINK. I’ve been saying for a long time that critical thinking skills are a thing of the past. And there’s a reason or that. Students are fed ideology. They are bullied into the line the teacher, the professor, the president of the college wants you to toe. Don’t worry about learning engineering skills or math or science. You’ll get your diploma anyway; you showed up! If you’ve ever seen baby birds in a nest about to be fed by mama bird, how they open their beaks wide, wide wide, you can envision today’s students. Same exact thing. No thinking, no discussion, for God’s sake no debate or questioning authority. Just open your mouth and swallow the poison that’s being force fed.

So yeah, Robby, go after the ‘education’ institutions when you finish with corporations.
