I can’t see myself rejoining in the future. I see a lot of it as the root cause of a lot of problems our society is facing today, and I no longer want to be a part of that system. Peace and love. 

The government wants you to believe that the inflation rate is only 2.8%, but the way they calculate this number is misleading. When your average person thinks of inflation, they’re thinking of what things used to cost a few years ago, not what they cost last month. A 28% inflation in 5 years is catastrophic, and we’re talking a 28% inflation on basic needs, FOOD.  This is why there is a genuine affordability crisis in America right now. NO ONE’s salary’s have gone up 28% in 5 years. How could they have? That’s an absolutely insane rate to keep up with, yet this is the actual inflation rate everyone is being forced to deal with right now.  This essentially means every working class American (and if you’re reading this right now, that’s you bub) has suffered a 28% pay loss in the last 5 years. Your government does not care. Your elected officials do not care. They aren’t working for you, they’re working for the corporations. Everything we were taught about how our government works was a fucking LIE.  Welcome to late stage capitalism.

History will see that he manufactured chaos because he had nothing good to offer. No vision. No ideas. Just tearing down what  others have built, and blamed others for his shortcomings. Generations will be taught he was nothing but a pathetic conman and a failure.

I’ve had that script set up, reliably printing out a color page every single week for the last 2 years. And guess what? CLOGGED FUCKING PRINTER AGAIN, SAME AS ALWAYS. I am now more convinced than ever that these piece of shit printers are engineered to be failures. There is absolutely no way these things have been made for 30+ years now, and every single one of them STILL fails in the EXACT same way. Over the last couple weeks I noticed the Yellow fading out, and now the Cyan has faded out on my weekly test prints. Both inks have over 50% left in the tank. This printer has printed at MINIMUM 1 page a week, often more as we are a family of 4 and regularly print out all sorts of things. Fortunately this printer does have a way to recover with out replacing the whole cartridge since it’s an ink tank. Unfortunately the “power cleaning” mode to correct this issue burns off approximately 11% of each ink color every time. So, obviously you don’t want to have to run a power cleaning any time you want to print out a color page! I’m not even going to do the math on how much a power cleaning costs, it would just depress me.

I’m so over inkjet. It is so frustrating to spend good money on a piece of hardware from one of the largest hardware manufacturers in the world, just to have it defect out on you in under 2 years. And like I said, it’s not this brand, it’s ALL the brands. I actually do like this brand inkjet better than the others I’ve owned, but it is still very clearly a flawed design if consistently using the printer even once a week isn’t enough to keep it from entering a failure mode. This one will be my last inkjet; I hope it lives a long life, but my experience is telling me this thing already has one foot in the ground.

After this printer fully dies, I’ll be left with only my trusty stead, Laser printer. By the way, did you know that Laser printers have NONE of these problems? That’s right, since they don’t use ink, there are no nozzles to get clogged, no lines to dry out. It simply works every single time I need it to print. Every page prints every time with out any drama, no need to burn off 11% of consumables to print a single page, it’s actually incredible how reliable a Laser printer is sitting next to an Inkjet printer! My Laser has seen the inkjets come and the inkjets go, and it just sits there printing page after page like it was actually designed to do. Wild concept, I know.

As such, I have removed all social media sharing buttons and interactions from this site and have also removed all Google tracking tags from my websites. I haven’t even logged in to those Google dashboards in years, so why am I continuing to send those assholes free data? I’m done. I’m pulling out as much crap from Google as I can, they’ve lost the rights.

I will no longer be handing the tech-oligarchy a single bit of traffic. If you’d like to share something you see here some place else, you’re more than welcome to. I’m just not providing you the buttons to do it.

DOWN WITH BIG BROTHER.

When I fired up Chrome this morning it told me my ad blocking plugin was now disabled, as well as other plugins I regularly use. I already had my game plan in place. All I needed to do was bring over 3 new bookmarks I’d added and I was done. I have uninstalled Chrome from all of my computers and am back on Firefox full time. I will not play Google’s little fuckboy games of intentionally removing functionality from a web browser in the sake of profits. This is where Firefox and the Mozilla foundation stand apart from the scum from the likes of Google and Microsoft.

I now fully endorse Firefox as the ONLY good web browser. Chrome and Edge are officially in the “hostile browser” category that are doing bad things in the sake of profits. I STRONGLY recommend uninstalling Chrome from all of your devices ASAP!

Company after company are raising prices as a direct result of Trump’s tariffs on foreign goods. We, the American people, are directly paying for Trump’s tariffs. If you thought this was going to work any other way, you have not been paying attention.

News stories like this one are unending. Every company, every good, cost has gone up. The other day I looked for an Iced Tea maker, we’ve always bought them for about $30 from a local store in the past. Looked in to it again as we need a new one, and they’re now over $80 for the exact same unit.

This is just the beginning, the start of Trump’s tariff tax hikes that the American people are going to pay for. Why would anyone vote for this? Why did they want this? How stupid must you be?

Elon has dropped lots of interesting information after his work in the White House has finished.  Apparently the Epstein files have not been released to protect Donald Trump because he is in them…  

After spending significant time with the President, Elon also mentions that the person in the White House known as Trump may very well be a body double:

Top minds running the country, or just a bunch of brain rotted boomers? A true mystery we may never actually figure out the truth to.

Here, I’ll get you started on some quick and easy companies worth boycotting and driving out of business:

• Twitter
• Paypal
• Tesla
• SpaceX
• xAI
• The Boring Company
• Neuralink Corporation
• Zip2
• OpenAI
• SolarCity

These companies are all directly related to the economic crisis that is now facing America. All of these companies should be shuttered. Stop giving money to them. I’m glad to say Paypal is the only one I used every once in a while, and I can easily replace that site with other payment methods. Boycott them all, never a single penny ever again.
