Back home to face Boston
The Astros and Braves moved on. Now we just have the Giants-Dodgers remaining to set the championship series matchups. That happens tomorrow. The NHL got underway with Pittsburgh and Vegas winning their games. And across the pond, a boatload of WC qualifiers were played with the Swiss being the most impressive. A full slate of games in the CONCACAF group come tonight. Hopefully the US decide to show up, unlike the Panama game over the weekend. And that’s sports.
I’d almost forgotten she was in Christine
Big birthdays today are English Queen Jane Grey, German man of many talents Rudolf Virchow, baseball HOFer Rube Waddell, cartoonist Herbert Block, British PM Margaret Thatcher, another HOFer Eddie Mathews, singer Paul Simon, NFL owner Jerry Jones, rocker Sammy Hagar, jockey Pat Day, football great Jerry Rice, actress Kelly Preston, yet another HOFer Trevor Hoffman, comedic actor Sasha Baron Cohen, and the moron AOC.
Right, now on to…the links!
Only the beginning
But of course it is. Mainly because the idiots who are tabbed to fix it are the same jackasses who caused it to begin with.
“Going postal” is back. Well, at least on one occasion.
Oh cool. But our southern border has been open forever to the unvaccinated. So I’m not sure what this will accomplish. Not that I wanted them closed, just pointing out the hilarity in this press release.
There’s no way she believes this, is there? I don’t know. She might just be stupid enough to.
What a bizarre story. I bet it’s more common than one would think when this kind of thing happens.
The sentencing will be interesting. It will give a glimpse into what the politicized military plan to do going
Welcome to the modern world, Chicago plumbers!
forward.
And this is how retarded Chicago government is. PVC pipe is a freaking godsend and they had it almost completely banned up to this point? What a bunch of idiots. Of course they’re still largely restricting it, but they’ll enter the 21st century at some point, right?
But “they have insurance so it’s no big deal”. Oh, it actually is a big deal. What a shock!
Color me surprised. Wait, I mean “gee, who could have seen that coming?”
Here you go. That’s a great song. Enjoy it.
And enjoy the middle of the week, friends!
Kickboxer is excellent.
It depends upon how many joints you smoked before the video played.
“But of course it is. Mainly because the idiots who are tabbed to fix it are the same jackasses who caused it to begin with.”
Let me answer your link with another link: reasons….
Why did this double tap me?
I cleaned it up.
I bow to your might, oh lord of the Glibroni blog!
I think they waited too long.
The entire edifice is at serious risk of coming apart right now. They should have started earlier and boiled that frog a little harder. As it stands, they’re going to be holding the bag when everything goes sideways.
“The entire edifice is at serious risk of coming apart right now. ”
And you think they care? They have prepositioned themselves to be the ones that survive any collapse with minimal consequences (if any), and they actually believe a collapse will force the majority of the people currently resisting to bend the knee when chaos rules the day allowing them to then do whatever the fuck they want.
These people are truly evil.
People should plant and cultivate gardens, and maybe a fruit tree or two in their back yards. Get out of debt. Learn to do handyman type work—fixing the plumbing, some carpentry. Then, build relationships with neighbors. When the snotnoggins at the top make their final bid for total control, the people who can live outside the system can tell them to pound sand.
Yup…
The people in the trades will become invaluable once the shit hits the fan because their skillset never goes away. Those HR diversity people will however become the first to be lined up and killed when they start bitching about how they want the scarce resources to be distributed to be make sure everyone gets their fair share or they be addressed by their proper pronouns…
Currently in progress.
This has been my dream for a while. I’ve been doing wood joinery / carpentry and am looking into blacksmithing. Recent political bullshit only made me focus harder on this; I think there’s a very real possibility that we won’t be able to just get whatever we want from the store or delivered to our doorstep.
It all hinges on the dollar.
If the dollar hyperinflates, it’s all over. They will not be able to maintain control.
New York might bend the knee, but there are a bunch who won’t, probably most importantly Texas.
“If the dollar hyperinflates, it’s all over. They will not be able to maintain control.”
Actually they believe they can hyperinflate AND keep control of the currency. Its baked into the globalist plan. They need the hyperinflation to make the debt inconsequential enough that they keep borrowing like crazy for the near future.
*MMT nods*
The media is pushing hard against cryptocurrency (judging from what my Leftist relatives talk about – that’s an almost perfect indicator of what the latest story was on NYT or NPR).
I’m not so sure how well positioned they really are for a collapse. They mostly live in cities and inner ring suburbs. They’re mostly unarmed. They mostly don’t know anyone who has any sort of survival skills. And they’ve increasingly decided to bask in the public eye.
I think they think they’ve positioned themselves well for a collapse. Because these are the same elites who think electricity comes from a wall and steak comes from a supermarket.
“I’m not so sure how well positioned they really are for a collapse. They mostly live in cities and inner ring suburbs.”
Do not confuse the people in power with the crowd of useful idiots they control that have no fucking clue they are going to be the first ones to take it up the ass when the shit hits the fan.
The people in power – the political leadership class, the bureaucratic leadership class, and the connected millionaires and billionaires – all have protected spaces and a means to get there quick, as well as protection, they plan to use when the shit happens. Their useful idiots living in cities will be cannon fodder.
They also have paid staff to fly their planes, man their guns, maintain their hidey holes, and grow their food. They can only survive as long as they can pay their lackeys.
Or as long as their lackeys don’t decide they can do the same things without them. How many emperors got killed by the Pretorian Guards?
I am sure they think they have taken “precautions”….
In the End times, First thing me and my militia are doing is go scavenging for supplies. Anyone we find that are registered democrats are not going to have a nice day. They stole from Americans so were gonna take back what they stole and five to needy folks in the area. War is hell boys and girls.
The people in power
What if no one is really in power, in control? What if power is a more amorphous thing? I don’t doubt there are people who THINK they are powerful (a la Hendricks in The Spark) – but what if, in reality, they aren’t near as powerful and invulnerable as they imagine?
Ah, someone must be in control, right – that’s what you’re thinking. What if that isn’t so?
???
The bureaucracy is full of people who think they’re in control.
I am am using the term to identify what they call themselves. One can debate if they are in power or not, but that would be meaningless distraction. I think the real issue is they are fucking incompetent asshats wanting to be kings.
What if no one is really in power, in control?
I’m going to get pedantic and say that there’s a difference here. There are people who are in power, as exemplified by the fact that they can bend much of the populace to their will through threats of violence. But just because they have power does not mean they have control. The laws of nature care not for the threats of man, so no matter how much power they accrue to themselves their actual control is circumscribed by reality. And splitting hairs even further, when just considering social interaction power and control are still two separate things, IMO. The more control one actually has, the less power one must wield to get what one desires.
Certain Lefties and Lefty groups are following the Commie playbook.
They are delusional in thinking it will work for them when it failed for die hard commies like Stalin, Lenin, Mao, Castro, etc.
Honestly, Lefties are helping America rid itself of American commies. Incrementalism was working for American commies. They abandoned that for desperate tyranny in 2016 and civil war 2.0.
“The president wants to make fundamental change in our economy and he feels coming out of the pandemic is exactly the time to do that,” she said.
“If we don’t do it now, if we don’t address the cost of childcare… if we don’t address the climate crisis, if we don’t ensure that universal pre-k is a reality now, we’re not going to have the same opportunity to do it for some time.”
Never let a (or even a manufactured) crisis go to waste.
I’m sure those tax cheating millionaires will be tripped up when hey deposit the seven hundred bucks cash they got from selling the second car to pay for the kid’s braces.
Here is a prediction about this FBI investigation: the FBI will go after anyone that talks about the corruption and their coverup of that corruption to hide the guy they “fortified” the election for from damage until they are done with him.
And they keep telling us we need even more censorship of social media and the pretend news, because people keep getting “misinformed”…..
What I’ve learned over the past year is that, yes, they can keep getting away with it. They are guilty as hell but that doesn’t matter anymore. The gov has gone post-modern.
The party of stupid politicians has basically accepted the fact that the crime syndicate party turned the entire federal bureaucracy into a crime syndicate under Obama – with plans to take that to new levels when they replaced that guy with the queen of crookery they thought they had rigged the election for – and continues to cover for them because they want to be invited to the cocktail parties and have the propaganda arm of the crime syndicate write nicely about them. The criminal gangs and the political cucks are hard at work trying to finally get the guy that fought them gone (and I wouldn’t be surprised some “accident” happens to that guy so they can finally get rid of him), to make sure that the unwashed masses realize they better fucking shut up and let it all be.
In the mean time they continue to plunder, rape, and raise the bar of what criminal behavior is now the norm, and are loading the life boats with their loot while telling us the Titanic is not sinking despite the heavy list that has the bow under water already…
I don’t excuse Bush from this either even though Obama ramped it up.
Cheney et al made it a point to lie us into wars and oversaw the massive increase in the surveillance state. They knew what they were doing.
Yep.
I voted twice for W. I am disappointed in myself, for falling for the “left-right” paradigm. They are all on the same team, working toward the same goal(s).
Left & Right — two wings of the same bird of prey, the State.
Gore would have been way worse.
All Bush’s election did was kick start civil war 2.0. Obama was the token Black american to prevent Black Americans from fleeing the Party of slavery.
^ this, this indeedy-do.
Many people make the mistake of thinking that government will not abuse the power they grab in times of crisis (especially when it is their guy in power). For example, that vaccine they now tell us everyone must get, or else, was once considered the most evil thing ever and something none of the people now demanding it be mandated (not to be confused with 2 guys on a date) would ever take when that orange guy ordered it made and was in the WH. They made a 180 and don’t even admit to themselves some people can’t follow along with that whiplash inducing move (minorities which were abused by government and then told avoid the vaccine under Trump, for example, now not wanting the thing).
I want to point out that never liked things like the Patriot act one fucking bit, and only reluctantly went along with that idiotic idea because of all the rules put in place to force the bureaucracy to stay transparent and not abuse the power. We all saw what Obama’s people ended up doing with it, and I am not going to be surprised to find out that it happened even under Boosh. The difference is that if it had happened under Boosh and we had found out about it, there would have been demands that heads roll, and they would have rolled.
We are at a point where we simply can’t allow government to get more power today, because no mechanism put in place to curtail the power and more importantly punish its abuse will endure or be used when one party literally has the ability to abuse power with impunity.
The Dem and Repub parties are just separate marketing campaigns to fundraise for the TEAM BE RULED uniparty.
Sort of. The problem is that there are people, in the GOP, at least, that aren’t part of the team. Yes, the party, overall, is terrible, but you do have Republicans like Paul or Massie or, hell, even Donald Trump who are there uninvited.
They still are in the minority and their own party is against them for not being part of the cabal…
PVC pipe is a freaking godsend and they had it almost completely banned up to this point?
I review quite a few land development and storm drainage plans these days. I can tell you that some municipalities require all storm drains to be reinforced concrete pipe (RCP) where hdpe and pvc would be much better. It’s wild.
Even more wild is some plans switched to RCP when they couldn’t source HDPE during construction.
Look who is getting paid. Then look at their connections. That will always explain real bad and expensive (to the tax payer) decisions made by municipalities…
Thomas Maddie in his excellent short film about building up his property in Kentucky from scratch mentions PVC specifically as a reason he’s able to do things with the natural rainfall there than what Thomas Jefferson was able to achieve at Monticello.
PVC has enabled incredible leaps in health and happiness around the globe.
Maddie?
Fuck Apple.
MASSIE.
Predictive, yay. Auto-correct, nay.
I had a hardbound collection of environmental science papers from 1971. One of them went into great detail how PVC was going to kill off every living thing on the planet as the carcinogens leached out.
Was it written by the same racist that banned the use of DDT allowing Malaria to kill of millions of black and brown bodies?
The “I Fucking Love Science” types really never consider the history of science. If they did, they would probably know that science frequently takes a wrong turn and has to back out, and also that new discoveries are often shouted down by the scientific establishment before being proven correct. That’s why it’s a monumentally horrible idea to shut down debate because there’s currently a “consensus”. That would paralyze science.
Well, even if they didn’t have insurance, Walgreen’s can just write off the losses from all the theft, right?
Wait, you’re right.
This is just more corporate greed!
They had other options. For example, they could have just raised the price of all items in their S.F. stores to $951.
You don’t even know what a write-off is, do you?
🙂
But THEY do! And they’re the ones that are writing it off!
“But “they have insurance so it’s no big deal”. Oh, it actually is a big deal. What a shock!”
I am starting to feel very confident this is exactly the result the political class was aiming for. They will now blame it on racism, and then put government stores there (where the old rules that you could plunder at will are going to be done away with). And they will then remind these people that without them, they wouldn’t have anything…. Stay on the plantation, y’all.
Interviewing a candidate for a lab tech job. The name on the interview invite was a fairly typical “Dimond.” The actual name (per the resume) is “Diamond.” At least I’m hoping they didn’t misspell their name on their resume. Then again, I’m wondering if there’s a “Boy Named Sue” thing going on, since their last name is “Sales.”
Start by telling them you identify as a sane person and don’t want to deal with this shit…
Are you going to ask? Is there a tactful way to broach that one?
If they’re hired, I’ll ask their gossipy coworker.
Sure. Just ask how they spell their name. Then point at the resume and the invite and ask what that’s all about.
Yeah, since there’s an actual mismatch, just make it a polite inquiry into what the correct spelling is.
I’m hoping for your (and their) sake that they overcame their parents’ silly naming, and are a good candidate and responsible adult. That happens, too.
Work history shows them constantly employed since college. They changed companies three months ago, but I understand the company they transferred to it pretty horrible.
Their HR psych profile dinged them for being too independent, flexible and laid back.
The second greatest trick the Devil played was creating “HR professionals.”
HIRE XIS PERSPON!
First off, the idea of an “HR psych profile” is sickening, but I do know it happens. But really, that’s a negative? To be independent, flexible and laid back?
Yup. They were looking for “works with others,” “structured” and “driven.”
Which could be summarized as “wears harness happily”.
You misspelled “bridle”.
“Look buddy, I’m here for the job. Let’s leave my private life out of this.”
“HR psych profile”
What is this? CSI Foundry?
I cannot recommend the book “the No Asshole Rule” highly enough.
Do not try to override your gut in the interview.
Considering all of the previous “Diamond”s I’ve met before have been strippers…
Beware strippers name Chlamydia!
Herperella puts on a hell of a show and does encores!
I’ll have to read that.
I have several rules when hiring (for engineers):
They have to be engineers at heart–long time interest in technical topics, technical hobbies outside of work, etc. Nothing sucks worse than hiring someone with an engineering degree who doesn’t give a shit about engineering, and only wants a paycheck.
99% of employee problems can be solved at the hiring phase. Make sure you’re hiring someone who can get the job done–develop your BS detector finely.
Make sure they will get along with their colleagues. I don’t want to be friends with them, but people with difficult personalities aren’t worth the trouble. It’s not too hard to find technical people who are also friendly and honest.
Shouldn’t it be “Rhombus” anyway?
No, Xe’s a carbon crystal with a coating of hydrogen.
“As the global economic recovery continues to gather steam, what is increasingly apparent is how it will be stymied by supply-chain disruptions that are now showing up at every corner,” Moody’s wrote in a Monday report.
Maybe allow the market to function.
It’s nice to know that if you’re ever low on cash, there’s always a supply of recyclables at every building!
We all know that cast iron lasts much longer than PVC. SCIENCE!
Yeah, but were they vaccinated?
Some of them got their shots
*narrows gaze*
Don’t you read the paper?
The biggest part of Biden’s vaccination plan relies on emergency workplace safety rules that will soon be issued by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
Once those rules are written, 24 state attorneys general have pledged to fight them.
Some legal experts suggested the OSHA rule could be blocked if challengers can show the government cannot prove there is a national “grave danger” as required by law.
They declared an EMERGENCY! They don’t do that unless there is a grave danger.
Ohpleaseohpleaseohplease…
“There’s no way she believes this, is there? I don’t know. She might just be stupid enough to.”
WE CAN JUST PRINT A BUNCH OF PLATINUM $1 TRILLION COINS!
U.S. to open Mexico and Canada land borders to fully vaccinated people
And everyone else who is not an American citizen regardless of medical status.
It will be interesting when the judges in those cases bar the press, put everyone under a gag order and seal the trial transcripts because of all the medical misinformation.
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen expects increased prices at grocery stores, restaurants and elsewhere to eventually ease up once supply chain issues are resolved.
“I believe it’s transitory. But I don’t mean to suggest that these pressures will disappear in the next month or two,” Yellen told “CBS Evening News” anchor and managing editor Norah O’Donnell on Tuesday.
Except it is never intended to return to “normal”. So it is transitory…to a new abnormal.
Yeah, nice bait and switch the Dems are pulling there.
‘This case began with a call for accountability and Lt. Col. Scheller will demonstrate to senior leadership how to accept accountability for his own actions,’ Parlatore said.
Except senior leadership will not be held accountable.
Accountability seems to stop about the O-5/O-6 line.
construction of more “gender-neutral restrooms.”
No more urinals?
But think of how much water will be wasted. There will have to be a rule for that.
Low flow toilets. Which wreak absolute havoc on sanitary mains. But hey…. Progress!
Good Lord! I dislike every team that advanced in their respective play-offs. Must be Wednesday.
The worst day of the week. (Pace, Mojo)
I’m hoping the coal-rolling asshole (and his daddy) end up liable for all the damages and that their insurance company tells them to pound sand.
“intentional act”….claim denied.
Well, yeah. It turns out that most people are taken aback when their loved one turns into a different person. And in current year they will get attacked if they don’t “celebrate” it.
Lick the munt, transphobe!
“Munt” That’s nearly as funny as “Shenis”! (hat tip to the gaijan for that one)
A friend of mine actually had this happen – other direction though, his wife transitioned to a man. They’re still married, and seem to be quite happy. Partly because he self-describes as, ‘Not the straightest guy ever…’, but mostly because his wife-nee-husband wasn’t a giant self-absorbed asshole. Sadly, that doesn’t seem to be the case here…
Yeah, some people react differently. Kudos if it works for him.
I know I couldn’t handle it. I like what I like.
Committee OKs revamp of Chicago plumbing code to expand use of PVC pipe
PVC is the standard for all sanitary sewer and water line pipe (and roof drains for that matter). Why the hell would they not be using it?
Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s plan to relax Chicago’s plumbing code to ease the financial burden on homeowners and businesses sailed through a City Council committee Tuesday, paving the way for expanded use of plastic pipe
and construction of more “gender-neutral restrooms.”Thanks for joining the modern world, massa gubmint.
One of the best projects I did at my last house was lay/bury PVC to divert water away from a corner of the basement that would get wet after heavy rain. I tied in the downspouts and sump pump.
That corner was (hopefully still is) dry.
THE RUNOFF MADE THE FROGS GAY!
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen expects increased prices at grocery stores, restaurants and elsewhere to eventually ease up once supply chain issues are resolved.
She devoted her entire tenure at the Federal Reserve Bank to a desperate attempt to create inflation. Does anybody seriously believe anything has changed just because she’s wearing her Treasury Secretary hat now?
Janet Yellen is not stupid, she is evil. Carlson called her a reptile the other night. Surprised he hasn’t been cancelled yet.
She is part & parcel of the reset machine of the globalist movement. That makes her evil as fuck.
Are you a fan of Erasure, but thought the “Always” video was missing that certain je ne gay quoi?
Gah! I used to have a subscription to Heavy Metal when it was good. That was not good.
Their HR psych profile dinged them for being too independent, flexible and laid back.
Something something briar patch.
Yeah. Did I mention that the opening was for night shift?
Walgreens will close five more San Francisco stores, a company spokesperson confirmed Tuesday, citing ongoing organized retail crime as the reason.
I, for one, am shocked at this development after the government legalized theft.
“food deserts”
I was thinking that too. Give it a month and you’ll see stories about how poor black people can’t get life-saving medications.
In St Paul the pharmacies just get burned down but at least the shoplifting problem has been solved.
So anyone that is current on the news knows that revelations like this were a given. Many people ask why the people that don’t want to admit this keep talking about weather that only affected one airline. The answer is simple although I have heard nobody provide it: by law, if an airline is forced to cancel flights for any reason other than weather (acts of god), they incur the financial burden of putting up any and all affected clients. The cost of putting the passengers stranded by the cancelation of over 2K flights a day into a hotel room, with meals, would bankrupt anyone in today’s broken reset economy.
It doesn’t matter, Friend Alex. Money is free and fungible, Silly Man!
Only for government, I thought. Private entities still have to follow rules…
The NPR this morning blamed everything except this. There is a coordinated effort to hush any talk of organized labor rebellion.
That is an excellent point. Another thing to consider is that the people calling off aren’t explicitly stating they are protesting. They’re just following procedures and taking their leave, but there happen to be many more of them than usual. As far as I know, nobody has officially told the airline this is a protest.
It may be just that they expect to be fired and are using up their sick pay. I’m not sure how airline sick pay works though. I do know that in general, they only get paid for hours actually flying, and possibly a nominal amount for training.
Looks like Jack Ma’s stint in room 101 is over….
Huh, I thought he was dead.
I might not really be him — they all look alike.
Before you disappear someone you need to break them completely then put them back in the public to sing praises for Big Brother and to lament their sins. Expect this from Ma sooner than later…
Read 1984.
“ The 16-year-old driver was using his Ford Super Duty pickup to “roll coal” on the group of cyclists as they trekked along Old Highway 290 in Waller. Instead, he ran them over. The cyclists’ injuries range from fractures and soft tissue injuries to traumatic brain injury.”
That sounds racist
I’ve had a couple of jackasses “roll coal” on me in my car in the past. Both times, I was headed to the range and they would have shit their pants at knowing what they would have faced, if I weren’t a stable, sane, live-and-let-live kind of guy. Someday one of those guys is going to roll coal on D-FENS and find out.
My wife’s grandmother came down with COVID a few weeks ago, and passed away Monday morning. Damn shame, but consider
— she was the only person in her nursing home who refused the “vaccination”
— when she tested positive and was taken to hospital, the docs couldn’t find any reason to keep her there (clear lungs, no fever, etc)
— she just stopped eating over the weekend, essentially deciding that it was time to check out of life
— she was 16 days short of her 102nd birthday
De mortuis and all, but the woman had a mean streak a mile wide. Add in some cognitive issues, and the old gal was damned unpleasant to be around the last several years of her life. The family has noted her demise more with relief than sorrow.
The only thing that annoys me about the whole episode is that her passing will be labeled another COVID mortality, and used as a cudgel against #DeathSantis.
“came down” with covid or merely “tested positive”?
Dying with Kung Flu is not the same as dying from Kung Flu. At 102 a bad meal or fart can kill you…
When people stop eating, they typically stop drinking liquids too. You get some of your daily water intake from foods.
You can only live about 7 days without water and that is for a young healthy person.
We all die. 102 was a good run.
Sorry for your loss, BTW.
Lived in a nursing home, refused the vaccine, stopped eating, died.
From whom did she get the ‘rona, if everyone else was vaccinated?
102 years old. Born in 1919? So, survived the Great Depression, WW2, the Cold War, the “War on Terror”. I bet she had some interesting stories, if she were the type to reminisce aloud.
The wife has heard stories, like back in the depression / war years, when Grandma Martha would go out with her husband. She couldn’t afford stockings, so she’s use a grease pencil to draw seams down the back of her legs.
Other memories had more ominous implications. Martha remembered the run on banks that followed the collapse of the Florida Land Grab of the 1920s, so she didn’t trust said institutions. My wife gets a call from granny a couple of years ago to come visit. When she does, Grandma gives her bank envelopes containing $15K that she’d kept stuffed in various dresser drawers for God knows how long, with instructions to put it somewhere safe in case Granny’s son, my father-in-law, fell onto hard times.
I’m sure she had more stories to tell, but I never tried to draw them out of her, because the bitterness of her own questionable decisions (like talking her husband out of going into business with his brother) would invariably bubble up, and I didn’t feel like being a target of her vitriol.
“He won 65 of the 69 fights he fought from 1928 to 1933, weighing in at about 118 pounds. He lost two and had two draws.“
Nice.
Sorry. Every family has one of those, don’t they.
I’m sorry to hear of her loss.
Almost 102 – I won’t come close to that.
Sorry, Man. Some people become sweet in their elder days and others just turn viper. 102 is a pretty good run, aside from anything else.
“the old gal was damned unpleasant to be around the last several years of her life.”
Sounds like my kind of good timin’ woman
My dragon lady supervisor always told me that people don’t stop being assholes just because they’re dead. She valued keeping the truth about people.
Hopefully there will be pushback.
Boeing said it will mandate Covid-19 vaccination for its approximately 125,000 U.S. employees by the Dec. 8 deadline set by a presidential order requiring federal employees and contractors to receive the shots
From what I understand and I could be wrong, the EO hasn’t actually been formally issued and what has is essentially just a press release. If that’s the case any company pushing the above line as an excuse is full of shit.
https://www.dailysignal.com/2021/10/07/bidens-vaccine-mandate-depends-on-osha-emergency-regulation-heres-how-thats-fared-in-court/
Biden wants OSHA to do the dirty work. If they move at their normal pace, it’ll take 3 years. If they go faster, it’ll end up in court.
Corporate leadership is willing to sacrifice some workers to appease the Greater Power.
Nope. It’s issued.
https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2021/09/14/2021-19924/ensuring-adequate-covid-safety-protocols-for-federal-contractors
The one that isn’t is the OSHA regulation for all employees with more than 100 employees.
Someone posted a link the other day to the EO covering fedgov employees and contractors. That is in place with a fixed schedule.
The EO for OSHA to cover all other employers with 100+ employees is a separate thing.
Maybe this exists and I just haven’t seen it, but why hasn’t anyone done a supercut of all the lying snakes standing at their little podiums just months ago, stating no uncertain terms that “there will be no mandate” and “it isn’t the government’s job” (Psaki said that second one)?
A terrifying prospect
Some Democrats just want to see something — anything — make it into law. They fear that failure to pass either the Build Back Better bill or a $1.2 trillion infrastructure package that has some Republican support could indicate to the American people that Democrats are incapable of governing when in control of both the White House and both chambers of Congress. It is not lost on Democrats that they used precisely that argument to wrest the House from Republican control in the 2018 congressional midterms.
“The stakes are too high,” veteran Democratic pollster Celinda Lake told Yahoo News, “and the voters will not forgive Congress for doing nothing.”
Let me put your mind at ease, Celinda. There is NOTHING I would rather see than a complete absence of “productivity” on the part of Congress. They should all go home, and stay there.
Something must be done! This is something! We must do this!
An acquaintance wanted Elizabeth Warren to be the nominee for 2020 because “Agree or not with her ideas, I feel like she can get stuff done.”
What, get what done exactly? You know, stuff.
They would pass around Hunter’s peace pipe and bury a hatchet in her forehead?
That puts her squarely in the ‘stupid and energetic’ category, and Clausewitz knew exactly what to do with those types…
LOL. What color is the sky on your planet?
I would be thrilled if Congress produced a normal budget on time for a change, without larding it up with everything on Santa’s list.
I’ll never forgive Congress under any circumstances, but “doing nothing” is the only thing they can do that won’t make me hate them even more.
and the voters will not forgive Congress for doing nothing
I won’t forgive them for the communistic agenda.
Heh: Hunter Biden Limited Edition Action Figure… Comes with crack pipe, laptop and Ukrainian cash
No parmesan cheese infested carpet to fucking navigate on your knees looking for stuff for the pipe? Not a good collectable!
“Accessories sold separately”

Hey BTW, UCD. Did you hear about the new Divorce Barbie collector set? It is kind of pricey at $599.00.
But she comes with Ken’s house, car, boat, and half of his bank account, 401K, and personal investments….
Fake.
None of that stuff was in Ken’s name, it all belonged to his parents. I mean, has that nardless laybout even held down a job?

Besides.. Someone told me Ken wanted GI Joe too…

Someone posted a link to the more famous of Bach’s two Tocattas and Fugues in D Minor last night.
I prefer Bach’s other toccata and fugue in D Minor, BWV 538
So…you can’t handel the first one?

I Ravel in these sort of puns.
Speaking of Ravel, he is most famous for “Bolero”, but his orchestration of “Pictures at an Exhibition” is really what I admire him for.

I learned a piano arrangement of that lo these many years ago. I love that piece.
It came loaded on the household Macintosh, is how I learned of it.
There’s only about five melodies running at the same time in that particular piece.
I went to the grocery store yesterday evening to get some essentials. I haven’t seen shortages for a while in our stores, but last night they were nearly out of tomatoes, onions of all kinds, and bottled water. Fine on TP and everything else I bothered to look at.
Start stocking up, now
Back in the great TP famine of ‘20, I was visiting every Family Dollar, Dollar General, grocery store, and gas station, looking for this very important product. I couldn’t even find half-eaten corn cobs.
I have a decent stock of TP that I’m keeping secret from the GF. If shit gets real again, I break it out and be a hero. Otherwise, I’m a weirdo.
Hmmm…
Is your shit sometimes not real? Like, you know you’ve just taken a dump, but the toilet is empty?
Ghost poopie!
I didn’t just invent this; I remember it from ’95 or so.
I have a decent stock of TP that I’m keeping secret from the GF.
Same. I swear that woman uses a roll a day.
Leave a stack of single squares near where she does her business.
I got my wife to cut her TP use by 50% because she paid more attention to how much she really needed.
Stores around here have been randomly out of random things.
Same here. I’ve also noticed the knock off paper products are still lingering around on the shelves.
That actually was a good tune, Sloop, even though I have an aversion to ’80’s bands that wear more make-up than their girlfriends. At least they played musical instruments.
EatB stand the test of time.
If all that seems confusing, that’s because it is. Biden made listening to members of Congress a signature of his negotiating style. He has dispatched his top aides routinely to Capitol Hill to explain the particulars of his domestic agenda. Listening to lawmakers has the understandable effect of emboldening them, which may not be what the White House needs at the moment.
It sounds like he’s losing his patience. He should just chain the doors of the Capitol shut and tell them they cannot emerge without a bill he is willing to sign.
DEMOCRACY!
OFFS.
So locking the doors, blocking the windows and piling firewood against them is an acceptable negotiation tactic, now. When do I get to wake up?

On PVC pipe: A friend of mine who owns a plumbing business is seeing wholesale prices at nearly 10x pre-COVID pricing. He can’t give potential customers more than 5 days of a guarantee on material costs, and supply houses are requiring orders to hold pallets of pipe and fittings for him so that he can issue solid estimates to customers. They won’t hold material for more than a week for any plumbers in the area.

Someone posted this yesterday, very interesting read.
Basically she doesn’t want to have to think about other’s personal choices and she’s like to have meetings without masks, so you have to get the jab, otherwise she can’t write her shit articles and go get coffee.
My favorite is when she admits she just wants the unclean to ‘leave’. Really getting into some dangerous thinking here.
Also, Q mentioned the possibility of having to mask Q-ette, that he’d leave.
That’s exactly the operation I’m in the middle of. My son is slightly speech delayed, and not being able to see others faces can only make it worse, so we feel we have no choice. Also we know that vaccine mandates are coming soon too, and NY makes it impossible to be a two income homeschooling family, even if parents have part time work, it’s basically not possible to do.
She is only writing what she is told to write. Still, I am interested to see what the commentator class is going to trot out over the next couple of years, when people are having to get a “booster shot” every couple of months, just to stay alive.
I don’t think she has to be told explicitly what to write, she’s been told what to feel instead, and this is just the expression of it.
You’re probably right. How much of all this do you think she actually believes?

ffs get a new fucking idea.
Or just execute an old one well. Joseph Campbell had a few ideas on this.
They. Can’t.
The corporate culture rewards conformity and following the party line. They’ve bled creatives for years, and have no one left in a decicion-making position capable to coming up with new ideas or taking risks on new ideas.
We introduced our youngest to the first 2 last year. Was surprised Disney didn’t edit bad orange man from the 2nd one.

Over-the-counter aspirin could protect the lungs of COVID-19 patients and minimize the need for mechanical ventilation, according to new research at the George Washington University.
The team investigated more than 400 COVID patients from hospitals across the United States who take aspirin unrelated to their COVID disease, and found that the treatment reduced the risk of several parameters by almost half: reaching mechanical ventilation by 44%, ICU admissions by 43%, and overall in-hospital mortality by 47%.
“As we learned about the connection between blood clots and COVID-19, we knew that aspirin – used to prevent stroke and heart attack – could be important for COVID-19 patients,” said Dr. Jonathan Chow of the study team. “Our research found an association between low-dose aspirin and decreased severity of COVID-19 and death.”
Unpossible. The only remedy for convid is the magic potion jab.
Makes sense if the main mechanism of death is just clotting.
The narrative is shifting. It’s not an accident.
Quercetin, Vitamin C, Vitamin D3, Zinc
Pepcid..
You can’t get NAC anymore either.
why? here it is in every fitness store.
FDA banned it last year as a supplement because they consider it a drug.
Read (IMO): Too many people found out it can help recovery from COVID.
I don;t understand (not trolling). what does “they consider it a drug.” mean? It is not addictive or stimulant or psychedelic. And I know of few side effects.
The US has some strange laws that make a difference between supplements and food versus pharmaceuticals.
This impacts what can be sold and where and how.
So…it looks like I am wrong. They are likely in the process of banning it, which is why Amazon has removed it from their website:

An idea I am noodling is that, if all these military personnel are given dishonorable discharges, then whose side do they join when the FedGov tries to go full tyranny?
One of the questions on the Form 4473 is “Have you ever been discharged other than honorably from the US military” (Or words to that effect). I think, but am not sure, that a “yes” answer may be disqualifying for purchasing a gun?
Govt doesnt get to dictate who can buy a gun. Their is an absolute protected right to keep and bear Arms for all American not in state custody for crime.
So why just catholics? I suspect this will give everyone with a religion an exemption…
Or is this an out for the people that realize their demand to force all military personnel to get the jab is going to mean they have to separate some 150K people plus and basically breaking the US military in the process?
Maybe that’s the goal? /Adjusts tinfoil

Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker (R) on Tuesday announced he activated the National Guard to help test school children for Covid.
Baker activated 450 members of the Massachusetts National Guard for two missions: 200 members will support Covid testing in K-12 schools and up to 250 member will be used to offset staffing shortages at the Department of Correction (DOC), the governor’s office said.
Let me guess, they fired the prison guards would won’t get vaccinated.

The PVC pipe BS is done for the benefit of the plumbers’ unions. It takes longer to install and (arguably) more skill.
NYC has the same BS requirements with BX (armored cable) and RX (Romex) electrical on commercial installs and I still think residential. Again this is done for the benefit of the electrical unions. The reason given is rodent damage. I’ve never heard of rodents damaging line voltage wiring, however. You’d think they’d self destruct.
We see rodent chewed wiring in attics from time to time. It’s rare, but not unheard of.
Good to know. Is chewed up enough to short out or create a fire hazard?
Yes.
One they mandate putting in the ‘green’ soy flavored wires they’ll fix the rarity of the problem.

Emily Ratajkowski says it was important to her family that she be ‘perceived as beautiful’
https://www.insider.com/emily-ratajkowski-family-wanted-her-to-be-perceived-as-beautiful
I mean if I had a kid I would want them to be beautiful and tall and smart and healthy and athletic and charismatic. Why the fuck not?
It’s tough being rich, beautiful and famous. Poor Emily.
She cried all the way to the bank and her parents handed her a great set of tits and a handkerchief with a fresh-cut onion in it. Poor me! I got groped by a pop-star.
I got groped by a pop-star. – was that even proven? She literately owns all her fame and fortune to appearing topless in that video. Lovely tits though. Nice ass.
Good thing she makes a living on her looks and not her intellect.
A woman’s world is often a beautocracy.
This is how you use victimhood. Teacher/coach who is in hot water because a couple players on his team held down a kid and sodomized him says that he is being unfairly targeted because he is a native american.
Sure some poor kid got something shoved up his ass, but the important thing is that a man has been hassled.
Shit happens, man…
Well I guess if they didn’t want so much sodomy in the Proctor High School, their mascot shouldn’t be a proctologist.

Sounds like a cry for help… Or attention…
Not to be trifled with. Teens be fucked in the head. Do whatever you can!
Fuck. Hoping for the best for your kid and their friend.
Do you know the kid’s parents? Will they take him to the hospital if they see this? As Alex said, he wants help or attention. It’s hard to tell.
Yeah can’t tell. No we don’t know the kids parent.
Call somebody. Now!
The teen boys did. Their friend lives right next to school and their little group mobilized. I am proud that they recognized that something just wasn’t right.

Good morning, Sloopy!
First off, let me thank Gadfly for the amazing article he shared last night. Nothing like greeting a beautiful, chilly sunny day with an article that makes you want to go back to bed. Kudos, Gadfly!
I’m not sure if they have pulled their collective heads out of their asses, but I know that CA wouldn’t allow PEX. In a seismic area. Plumbers have pull, baby. But good on Chicago for joining the mid 20th century.
Idiots.
I enjoyed the supply chain article. Every journalist and politician wants a nice simple explanation. Look dipshits, you close gyms and restaurants and a year later I can’t buy steel, foam or resins. It’s an amazingly complicated system that no one could possibly understand, map, forecast or manage.
Except that staying the fuck out of the way works every time.
Thanks for the Echo. Never gets old.
Have a great day, people!
Wait, what? Why can’t you have PEX in an earthquake region?
Jobs program for plumbers. You’d be chasing leaks for weeks.
I’m really hoping that orgs like FEE and people like Don Boudreaux, David Henderson, Veronique deRugy, etc., get together to compile information on, study, and issue papers on the obvious results of this unintentional experiment in command economy. Even with all the “big data” on supply chains, the information problem still will always exist, and planned economies can never function effectively and efficiently like a market can.
The supply chain is incredibly complex. Some of these “journalists” should read and appreciate “I, Pencil” just to understand what knowledge, human action, and hard work goes into something as simple as a pencil. I wonder if a barista understands what it takes to deliver that latte to their customer at Starbucks in Manhattan.
???
The government keeps sticking its fingers in the pot and screwing around with a system that cannot be centrally managed. The more they fuck with it, the worse it gets.
Pencils come from the office supply store and lattes come from the machine. It’s not that hard at all. In fact, those things are too expensive anyway; we should have the government take over production so that we can have more equitable distribution of pencils and lattes.
/rich Leftists who have never held a job outside of academia, media, or government
Would PEX even be appropriate with slab foundations? That’s almost exclusively what you get in CA.
Sure. I believe it’s run under the slab with the appropriate sheathing. Also, I’ve seen it run through the attic on refurbs. And in-floor radiant heating is just pex in the slab.
PEX is an excellent product.
Sharkbites (same company with Pex) does God’s work.
First off, let me thank Gadfly for the amazing article he shared last night. Nothing like greeting a beautiful, chilly sunny day with an article that makes you want to go back to bed. Kudos, Gadfly!
Thanks! I will say, a sunny day is a great way to forget about problems, so at least you’ve got that going for you.
Good news – more tasteless food!
New FDA guidance aims to drastically cut salt in food supply
Because for as subset of the population where sodium does impact blood pressure the rest of us must reduce our intake in solidarity.
listen to your betters serf
Also to low sodium can be bad for some people
Lack of sunshine (natural vitamin D) and salt are going to be acknowledged as main reasons for so much depression someday…
Hyponatremia #FTW!
First aspirin now salt? Fuck off FDA.
Fuck you, cut spending and dissolve the FDA.
Can’t dissolve the FDA, it’s full of salt.
Other than reading the label. FFS.
Or you know…cooking for yourself…not buy the item…don’t eat fast food…
Nope, very little that the average customer can do
This is just another means of control.
Fix your insulin resistance and your kidneys can handle all the salt you want.
Most people are woefully deficient in electrolytes.
Been hospitalized for dehydration after a surgery that went awry. I couldn’t hold anything down and I was thirsty as hell. Severe hypokalemia damn near killed me. I have been through hard-labor childbirth, but having straight K shoved into my arm that burned hotter than the fires of hell was way worse than anything I have ever experienced.
I swore I would never roll my eyes at any celebrity whose show couldn’t go on because of dehydration.
One other thing: I would rather starve to death than thirst to death.
Dr. Tim Noakes’ book “Waterlogged” is an absolute tour-de-force of how human hydration got co-opted by GatorAde. One of the great parts is his review of some of the ancient wisdom and early “studies” on dehydration – which were largely just people recounting the unfortunate instances of people getting lost in the desert. In one noteworthy case, it was a whole cavalry unit in the “wild west.” My favorite part of that is the guy who eventually crawled back to the base after a couple of weeks – he was sustained only by a seething hatred in his heart for the dude he believed had abandoned him. The amazing thing is that within days of receiving food and water, he was fine. No permanent damage – but those two weeks?? Oooowhee!
Yeah, if I could have kept any water down, it wouldn’t have gotten that far. They had to pump me full of saline and a banana bag.
In defense of Gatorade, I don’t drink it until I’m craving it, then I know my electrolytes are off. If I’m craving salt, same thing. If things taste too salty, I know I’m okay.
My father (before he retired) was a food scientist and is currently
on the board of Monell Research Center.
The Obama administration sent his people their updated salt guidelines to review.
They sent them back saying the low levels of salt intake they recommended would eventually be fatal.
Looks like they are at again.
Note that if you do not have hypertension there are no known negative consequences to consuming a high amount of salt.
And if you do have hypertension, it’s not because of salt.

there are no known negative consequences to consuming a high amount of salt.
*munches on bacon*
Word.
Note that if you do not have hypertension there are no known negative consequences to consuming a high amount of salt.
And, at least AFAIU as a semi-literate non-physiologist, the impact of high salt on hypertension is not a chronic effect, but transitory. i.e. a high salt diet will not cause or maintain hypertension. Nice summary. Not the authoritative final answer – it never is in science contra the current zeitgeist – but good information/intro.
Yeah, morning show is all over that. ‘It’ll be gradual so we won’t even notice it!’

It’s not the salt, you lying assholes.
After awhile, you start to realize that the war on poverty, the war on drugs, the war on “unhealthy” food, etc. is not meant to be won. The thing is its own purpose: control. Politics is about rewarding your friends and punishing your enemies. Having more ways to do that is always preferable to having fewer.
They started the war on unhealthy food started with the food pyramid, demonizing fat. What do you replace fat with when it’s outlawed? Sugar. Nobody would eat your products otherwise.
Funny how diabetes and obesity really gained traction after the food pyramid was introduced as scientific fact.
Low carb was known to mitigate or prevent diabetes back in the early 1900s.

Someone once said war is the health of the state, right? Must’ve had some kinda clue or something.
As I tell the idiots that vote for government to solve their problems: no politician or government bureaucrat wants to solve any problem or they would be out of a job. What they want is more of them to keep you voting for them.
You need salt to survive and the gov’t recommendation for intake is already too low. Fuck off.

The grill remains ridiculous. And in a desire to out Tesla they took the biggest screen they could find, used two or three of them and stuck it across the entire dashboard.
I’m sure it actually drives quite well. What I’ll be curious about is the reliability. My experience with BMW is that have 15 to 25 Canbus devices controlling everything in the car. And they break regularly. They are a PITA for people with non dealer scan tools to diagnose. They are also usually a PITA to get to.
My Model 3 has only three body control modules. They do everything from manage the HVAC to control the seats and work the headlights and wipers and all the rest of the non driving functions.

I thought it had been established more than 40 years ago that Brown Sugar was the Stones basically acknowledging that they were ripping off black blues music?
Meh. We live in an age of retards, I guess.
Ivermectin as a SARS-CoV-2 Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis Method in Healthcare Workers: A Propensity Score-Matched Retrospective Cohort Study
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34513523/
Study conducted in Domincan Republic because you couldn’t run a study on Ivermectin in the US.
Note that “significant” means statistically. It’s 2%.
I’m not saying people shouldn’t take it if they want, but I sure as hell wouldn’t. Waste of time.
I read that as 1.8% infection rate in the study group vs 6.6% in the control group, 75% drop. p-value of 0.006 is not huge, but it’s what passes for significant these days.
An oldie, but a goodie!
Kudos to CPRM. Wisconsin once again dominates the “Drunkest Counties in the US” competition.
My county isn’t on the list. I blame the methodology: “The rate of excessive drinking is defined as the share of adults who report either binge drinking or heavy drinking in the past 30 days.” Who do you report it to?
5 drinks? that’s called breakfast.
I see. Wisconsin is the state where people are the least likely to lie about drinking.
What are they counting as a “drink”? An ounce of ethanol?
One or two drinks per day is heavy drinking? Getouttahere.
I’m guessing a fifth.
More creeping neo-prohibitionism. Heavy drinking as 2+ drinks a day is rediculous.
Don Draper laughs at your bullshit definitions.

Now that is heavy drinking.
Bulgaria announced the sinking of the ship with toxic urea cargo
https://www.euractiv.com/section/politics/short_news/bulgaria-announced-the-sinking-of-the-ship-with-toxic-urea-cargo/
goddamn Bulgarians messing up the Black Sea.
“The Turkish ship Vera Su, which hit the shore near the protected area ‘Yailata’ in the northern part of the Bulgarian Black Sea coast, has sunk. It has 3,000 tons of urea on board, which could cause an ecological catastrophe in the Kaliakra Nature Reserve, home to many protected seabirds and endangered marine species.”
Also goddamn turks.
“Greenpeace expressed its anger at the negligence of the Bulgarian authorities and warned about the possible irreversible consequences for the environment.”
I am sure expressing anger will help.
Isn’te urea just piss?
I’m pretty sure the Black Sea will be able to bounce back from getting pissed in.
A buildup in the body causes gout.
Kidney disfunction is a horrible thing.
But that quantity going into a body of water the size of the Black Sea is going to dissipate relatively quickly, and being a very common organic compound, it’ll be broken down soon enough. We might see a bloom in some species not normally so fertilized, but it’s too early to freak out.
I know, just passing along randomidities, a la Cliff Claven.
well too much nitrogen fertilizer hurts soil, I assume the sea is the same.
algae blooms, fish kills…
3000 tons doesn’t sound like a lot, but I guess I’m not sure what normal concentrations are like. Once you start dealing with seas/(real)lakes and oceans, things get massive in quantity.
We used to have a saying in the nuclear Navy. Dilution is the solution.
75% of the Earths surface dilutes anything man can come up with.
irreversible consequences for the environment
There are very few “irreversible” consequences. Chernobyl has recovered. The big oil spills generally are recovered within a few years.
Yea, people have a vastly distorted image of how fragile the environment actually is. Whenever some hydroelectric dam or oil pipeline might negatively impact some species or another, there are tons of protests to “save” them, then the project goes through and they just adapt or move to a different habitat a short distance away.
Nature adapts and overcomes, but we’re led to believe that if one species suffers an inconvenience, they’re all going to die, then every species that depends on that one will die, and so on until the whole planet is a barren wasteland.
If that rocket blows up, I’m sure Shatner will have LOVED going out that way.
It was cool they played the intercom audio between the passengers on the way down. Shatner seemed pretty impressed.
Text from daughter:
“only girl in the weight room again lol”
So, she goes to the gym when it’s otherwise empty?
what is her age so I can have a proper reply?
19. Knock yourself out.
Strange age not really proper but not that creepy either. Is she wearing yoga pants or booty shorts in the gym?
Pie going in for the kill.
Tundra, the gloves dropped.
Nah, after years of CPRM, I’m immune.
I expected this sharing her tweet, anyway!
I’m just proud of her for lifting three times a week. She’s getting pretty strong.
oh. Sharing her *tweet.*
I read that wrong, and started checking to make sure my browser wasn’t blocking images.
Hey! Hounding Tundra about his daughter’s status in The Glibs Breeding Program is my gig!
As I said countless times I am only in it for the green card.
Glibs Breeding Program? Is that like the Howard Families, but an attempt to select for a lack of social filters rather than longevity?
The rest skipped leg day. They’ll pay later.
One Serb was shot and six police officers injured on Wednesday when police fired tear gas to disperse a crowd that became hostile after raids on suspected smugglers in a volatile area of Kosovo populated by the Serb minority.
Kosovo police said officers met resistance in Mitrovica as they carried out an operation to seize smuggled goods in several towns on Wednesday.

I would say Serb lives matter but not really.
I’ve always had a soft spot for Serbs.
A moment of silence for covid deaths on this managers meetings….so fucking tedious. No moment for my family members that died…you know…normally? I bet the FAA had more deaths by other means than we did from COVID.
I bet the FAA will have way more vaccine related deaths than covid deaths by this time next year.
Shatner doesn’t want to be doused in champagne
Shatner just said to Bezos (unscripted) “What you have just given me is the most profound experience in life. I hope I never recover from it.”
He’s absolutely loving it
TikToker wins ‘lumpy’ oat milk war with Lidl
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-58887591
I remember when my friend in duchland said thy had an oatly shortage and no other brand was as good for coffee. I still take the one that comes form mammalian tits.
You mean it’s not supposed to be lumpy? ?
Is it wrong that I’m planning on when to take lunch based around when the SF post drops?
It depends, are you planning to read the post while you eat?
You can always put that off until later.
Unexpected? no
Unjustifiable? no
Wrong and naughty? oh so very yes
Oh lord, it’s Wednesday, isn’t it.
Wotan’s Day
That reminds me, why are the days of the week named for Pagan gods?
Local news says that MidAmerican Energy is predicting heating bills will be 46% to 96% higher this winter.
Thanks Joe Biden.
Yikes.
Shouldn’t be super shocked though. The Climate Crusaders have always made it pretty clear that they want energy prices to increase so people will clamor for “alternative energy”.
Mine is included in the rent and it’s radiators so I guess I can look forward to the landlord dialing it down on us.
French girls, they want Cartier
Italian girls want cars
American girls want everything in the world that you can possibly imagine!
So triggering. Such misogynist.
I would say Serb lives matter but not really.
That’s the spirit!
