Just had to look - at the "Red Neck Yacht Club" video. Oh, i don't know, but the few folks (about 40+ in number) appeared rather

well-to-do.  But then again, there's more than a few folks who have different financial priorities, than us boring people...ya know, the few (and getting fewer) folks who set aside funds for boring things - like car inspection ... the clunker is going to need...

Of course, in the muuseech videos, the reprobates who run that business aren't about to show any REAL rednecks ... ya know, women who don't look so hot running around virtually naked (bikinis).  REAL women outgrow those sorts of bondage-and-dehumanizing duds by their mid-thirties.  Needless to say, the red-pills launch into a scoff-fest...hey pee-wee, did your mommy buy you the wrong brand of cigarettes again?

But there's more to the (pit driven) agenda than dangling the latest boats and 4-wheelers to an audience, many of whom (even before the covid SCAM) are job - if not food - insecure.  Ya know, at too many workplaces, the snakes in power are ever seeking an excuse to "downsize."

The other agenda is even more wicked.  A few years ago, had read somewhere on the internet that social isolation is not uncommon among 20 and 30-somethings - the same age group in the video.  Just my opinion (on my blog) but i think there's a strong correlation between underemployment and social isolation.  Ya know, going halfsies on a case of beer AND bringing a covered dish is known to equal can't happen this week, and next week isn't looking to good either.

A woman i worked with (a Morman - hope she got past that heresy, but anyway) in passing, had mentioned not being able to afford the extra carton of fruit juice (in that works ra-lid-jun, they're not allowed coffee or iced tea) a wedge of cheese and a box of Sociables crackers.  In today's terms, those items and a pack of cookies would cost about $20.   She didn't have even that to spare, so it was seldom that she was able to have company.

But the video doesn't just neh-na-na-na financially insecure people.  There's people who have decent-paying jobs, but for whatever reasons, don't have much of a social life.  Tell me that people aren't wishing they were like the (plastic) people in the video, and scowling on themselves for not having 40 friends, and for not  getting invited to three happening parties every second or third weekend.

Can't help to notice the exact same message on other (country) mUSEech vIdeos.

Was listening to a King James (only) Bible preacher - i.e., his congregation is mostly old people - he was saying that in December

about half the congregation was out with the flu.  And it was a nasty flu - ya know, the kind where coughing doesn't get rid of the yuk, and where breathing hurts. (Had something like that in the mid 90s...wasn't fun.)  He doesn't claim to be a doctor, but he suspects a covid type illness had made the rounds in his area.  Well evidently, the old people either went to the doctors / or drank old country remedies, went home drank lots of orange juice, stayed in bed for a few days, and got over it.

He lives and preaches in a moderately populated area.  Perhaps somebody in that town had gone to the airport to pick up a friend / cousin.  Perhaps that visitor had never been outside of the us - but while at the airport coffee-shop, someone (who doesn't look like he is from anywhere around here) sitting at the next table was reading a Mad magazine...and our visiting friend/kinsman flecked a droplet of coffee from his nose, then pulled out an extra $2 and some coins for the tip. 

Well, that's no surprise. The radio station that my co-worker pays good money so that she can enjoy

the easy-listening (top 40 - of course...) sounds of the 70s and 80s.  Think it runs around 30ish a month, don't know.  But i know this, a song was playing, and near the end, a fine orchestra plays.  And here's the no-surprise:  the typically jabbering jock cut it off - yeah, ended the song, guess because running his yap took priority.  Silly, silly me...i thought that's why people paid good money to hear their favorite top-40 songs from yesteryear - ya know, the entire 3.5 minutes.  Guess not ;/   Thirty-i$h a month!  Ha, i wouldn't fund the b*tards with a crumpled $5 - even if i liked top-40.

Not a conspiracy theorist, but this Corona business is a set-up, to further separate the generations. What? Don't young lives matter?

Most the deaths from corona happen in nursing homes - that's people with one foot on a banana peel to begin with.  Meanwhile, 30 and 40-somethings - who had staffed/managed restaurants, gyms and concert halls - are struggling to keep a roof over their heads, while spending exceedingly stressful hours trying to get through to the unemployment office.  Meanwhile, just outside, there goes another retIred boomer jogging on by.  Yeah, boomers got theirs - and screw you all...neah, neah, neah!   No dern wonder, young people hate us.  Can't really blame 'em.  Just my opinion, but absolutely NOT one single business should have been ordered closed to begin with.   Not a one!  Don't want to risk getting sick?  Then stay th' eff home, snoflake.  Excuse me, but millennials matter, and so does their financial well-being matter.  Young people have their lives ahead of them. 

Busstop ahead.

P.s.  60 year old women in shorts...echh!

Since this blog is located along a side-street of a side-street ... yay! i can post unpopular stuff. Like, what's with all th' pe[s]ts? Eck!

The local paper took a bunch of pictures of people on cono house-arrest.  About half the people had atleast one animal...running the house, leaving hair and body-fluids on counter-tops and carpets ... gross!

Oh, but that's not it. Even undergoing financial uncertainty, we're supposed to

still joyfully shell out money (we don't really have) to help the (ever present) needy.  Oh really?...like basic home maintenance (not talking marble counter tops from Italy here) doesn't qualify as a need?  Uhm, then have to ask: why have i been getting up each weekday morning and going to work, for the last 40 years?  What, so i can fund someone's tat-parlor visit?  And on top of that, it's been a real long while since i've been on a vacation. 

Meanwhile, everybody else gets out the plastic/applies for loans, and (prior to cono) goes here and there, drives late model vehicles, with no thought about (adjustable-rate) tomorrow.  They seem to be having alot of fun, going to concerts and buying what they want.

It's a few minutes before my shift, so i won't have time to kvetch about yet another very high expectation.  That is: fasting - and doing it joyfully.  R U kidding?  i want a donut.

Abuncha atheistic intellectual smoke-screening going on. Reality is: walking the narrow road

is so NOT fun.  Oh, but Christians aren't called to have fun; we're supposed to joyfully endure financial uncertainties.  How's that work?  There you are, various repairs needed, but not enough money.  Be joyful??? R U f-bomb kidding me! 

Bible-bashers have alota nerve thinking they're the only ones who have a tough time understanding seemingly contradictory Biblical directions.  So they mock, and accuse Christians of having an imaginary friend...all the while conveniently forgetting "sky buddy's" exceedingly high - no wait, freaking impossible - expectations.

Namely, we as created beings are under the Lord's ultimate kingship.  Bible says,  we're to think the Lord's thoughts.  Uhm, that means putting our thoughts/accomplishments out with the trash.   Oh, and that's not it.  While we're fearfully and wonderfully made, we're supposed to die to self, regard ourselves as garbage.  Huh???  Talk about tough doing.

Uh no, i'm not fixing to ditch the Faith.  i'm a mess, but i'm not delusional.  Busstop ahead.

Bible-bashers bellyaching...like that's breaking news ;) They can play intellectual all they want,

it's (still) a free country.  Could it be, agnostics and atheists are actually intimidated?  Intimidated at churchians, because churchians (supposedly) don't have sinful habits.  Well, excuse me, but i somehow doubt that ya have to go around quoting Christopher Hitchens to feel intimidated in the face of seemingly (bad)habit-free churchians!  Can't help but to question the notion that the Lord's people don't have ongoing struggles with real sin.  When Peter denied the Lord, and someone (after the young girl had) called him on it, he cursed.  Tell me, that was the first time, since his conversion) he had let a bad word slip.

Yeah i get it.  People raised in Bible churches grew up hearing hymns.  And church people's favorite popular singers are more toward easy-(yawn)listening - which, by the way, have more than enough (not quite covert) racey lyrics.  i didn't grow up in the church.  My musical preferences from youth are musicians like Steve Miller Band, Grateful Dead, REM, U2, Pearl Jam.  And so, i am in the (long) process of learning to like the sort of music the Lord wants us go play and sing.

And so, i have to make a concerted effort to remain separate from rock music, because they (and most other bands) didn't/do NOT!!! want the Lord Jesus within 10 miles of their studio/concert halls.  In short, most musicians don't like Jesus Christ, and frankly - as much as i find the music pleasurable to the ear (can ya "spell" siren-song?), i cannot (and don't want to) forget their dislike toward the Lord.  Yeah, dislike - because there's no 3rd way.

Lunch is over.

NO! i'm not going to sub$cribe, don't have the extra bucks. Sorry ;/

But i do want to reference what i read - (because they were at least nice enough to post the article on-line) then blogged about in the last post.  Ya know, in the case that somebody might actually read this post... And who knows, he or she may decide to subscribe to the Washington Post.  Btw, the article has several interesting links to other WP articles, but i couldn't explore - uhm, used up my free five.  And no, don't wanna sign up for a trial, because they can be about half a tribulation getting out of - ya know, like having to call an 800 number ... "your call is very important to us ..."  freaking heathen liars ;/

The Washington Post article was released May 4, 2020 and was written by Will Englund.  It's in the business category.  It's entitled, "Millions of baby boomers are getting caught in the country's broken retirement system."

Hey m$-moneh, just read an article from a major newspaper that half of boomers don't even have 25k tucked away for retIrement.

Hey, she got hers - and us other half can go jump...  Anyway, the article starts out describing a typical boomer couple - they went to college, went to work, saved money, bought a house, invested in stocks ... bla, bla.  When describing what derailed their goal$, first item on the list was dIvorce.  Yeah, there are plenty of stats concerning how dIvorce destroys ... a lot of things.

Aside of the child support (which peewee thinks he shouldn't have to pay...whhaaa), just the dIvorce itself can cost several thousand.  Those 90 day, $250 quickie deals might work for couples who don't own property or have anything tucked away - but something tells me, there's hidden costs lying in wait. 

Aside of buying out the ex-spouse, (and becoming a debt-slave) just the 5 or 6k lawyer fee is wealth killer enough.  That several grand, if invested in a low-risk account, at age 30 will, by age 60, yield about 12 to 15k.   That's enough to do a significant repair, or pay off a car loan - in short, clearing debt debris from the start of retIrement road.

Busstop ahead.
