Hey what’s up readers? It’s Thursday morning here on the west coast and time for me to write some shit for the internet. My arm is a bit sore tonight because I went and got poked with a needle today. I think for me to main issue with vaccines is I just hate needles, which I think is a net positive because it could be the only thing that stops me from doing heroin. We may never know. Not that I really trust these vaccines either, but I guess we’ll see what happens next. Personally I think it’s a little weird that some people apparently still walk around with a mask on outside with their vaccine. Well then what the fuck did you get the vaccine for? Not that wearing a mask outside wasn’t always dumb anyway, but whatever. The point being that the people who tell us to trust the vaccine act like they don’t trust the vaccine and then wonder why people don’t trust the vaccine. On the other side of it, you’ve got people who tell you not to trust it who are all fully vaccinated. That oughtta tell you something. Tell’s me that it’s the medias job to fuck with us. And there’s really only one thing we can do about it.
So this isn’t something I really brag about, but I used to work for this major fast good chain. And done thing this chain is notorious for is that their ice cream machine is always down. I mean it’s not always down, but nationally they’re down about 13 percent on the time according to an app some dude invented that actually tracks this shit. I’m not bragging or anything, but I worked at one of these restaurants for 10 years and I was today years old when I learned that there is actually a really fucked up reason behind it. It’s not because the employees are lazy either, although I”m sure that’s the common assumption. But it turns out that this particular company has an exclusive contract with an ice cream machine manufacturing company. This contract requires all of this company's franchisees to buy one particular type of shake machine from this manufacturer. And the model they’re required to buy is one that always breaks down. Then the franchisees are stuck having to constantly pay the manufacturer to get their ice cream machine fixed. The corporation doesn’t give a shit because it’s not costing them anything, and they certainly don’t give a shit about the employees who have to deal with the fallout from the customers. Of course the question for me was always “Why the fuck do you keep coming to the same place for ice cream knowing their machine is going to be down?” But that’s a trivial concern.
The major concern for me, as usual, is how the upper classes help each other out while fucking over the lower classes, and getting them to blame each other. It’s the same when people get pissed about poor people abusing government programs. Really? You really give a shit about that? Why? I certainly don't. Poor people have every right to abuse the system in my eyes. . It’s these rich motherfuckers abusing it that I’m more concerned about. With their tax loopholes and subsidies and no-bid contracts and wars for resources. And we’re worried about some trailer trash in Alabama getting an extra 12 cents a month is SNAP benefits? Come the fuck on people we can do better than this. We’re in a place of technology and abundance where nobody would have to work if they don’t want to. We can create a society where everyone’s basic needs are met and they have time to do the things they love. So if Billy Bob has been wanting to cook meth in his tool shed, but never could find the time and energy to do so, well he’ll have time to do that now. That’s called encouraging entrepreneurship, and it’s a great thing.
So remember everyone, next time you can’t get ice cream at your favorite burger stand, or someone on the news is talking about people gaming the system in some way ask yourself “Am I mad at the right people? Is the person in front of me really the once fucking me over, or does someone else want me to be mad at them. Why? Then just take a deep breath, let it go. Move along and say “Fuck it!” Before It Fucks You.
