Bank's pushing cash-back credit cards - sure, buried in that nano-font print,

there's a catch.  Whatever the reason, am not interested in forming a charge-everything habit; that can lead to serious problems.  Why expose yourself to temptations/toxins! And i seriously doubt that $600 dollars received back, is worth the extra 6,000 spent on junk, which usually ends up cluttering cabinets, corners, and waistlines.  Am sure the woman, pushing the (666) program, is only doing so, because she needs her job, in order to provide for her child - the one that jasper helped to create, and now he's miffed :/ ... typical.   Bet she received training, bet part of that was to regard cash transactions as behind the times, and to convey that to customers

Well whatever.  Think the less activity on the radar, the better.   Cash transactions leave more a margin for privacy.  If i want to buy a package of oreo cookies, (yeah, they're all sugar and chemicals) that's business.  (Bet i'll see oreo adds blow up my phone, within the hour - sort of curious.)

Less radar activity.  Haven't yet forgotten, and won't for another 80 years, how my office purchasing card got scammed - used it on the computer at work to charge for office supplies.  Anyway, had to close out the account, and wait for another card to be reissued.  Meanwhile, we were getting mighty low on copier paper - and no, didn't wait till the last minute to reorder.  

Just mean, nasty, and hemotional - these red pills at it again,

but this time, at a new low.  They're giddy-festing at women, over 30-something, who are finding themselves suddenly out of work, and struggling to find other sustainable employment.  At least, (unlike a certain demographic of seven million) women are actually putting in the work, to find jobs.  Payback time? These guys are high-fiving each other (if not engaging in other...greetings) all over YouTube land.  Evidently, the formerly young hotties - now some twenty years older (and twenty pounds heavier - stress pounds anyone?) can't get a first date, and if that's not enough, can't get a first job interview.

A red-pill cope.  These jaspers couldn't score a hottie twenty years ago, and now, twenty years later, the "fine wine" has aged to vinegar.   Ask any winemaker; in order to make wine that won't turn bitter, you must grow the right grapes, in the right soil, harvest at the right time, put into clean bottles, and store at the right temperature.  For most of human history, these exacting conditions weren't typically possible.

So much for red-pills, and their (mocking) whine.  Meanwhile, milk - that sours quickly, is made into butter, yogurt, cheese.  For virtually all of human history, people had to preserve extra milk; they could not afford to waste it - or any other resource.

Why the transit site, doesn't simply brief any delays

across the top of their homepage.  They used to, and that worked - around here, it's not like  New York City or Chicago - traffic here isn't an ongoing snarl, in every direction, monday through friday.  Well, last night, while doing dishes, the thought occurred -  the company had likely decided that posting any delays, on their homepage, was putting their riders at risk; since anyone, with malicious intentions, can visit.  

Yep, here we go again.  The reprobates, out there looking to rob some bus person... reprobates doing what they do... adding more hadsles into the lives of people, who get up each day, to go out and earn their money (instead of ripping off the funds of others).

Logging onto the rider's alert site means...yep, you guessed it - another freaking password to remember - more like, forget; it's a human thing.  

Yeah, my phone is outdated, and so doesn't keep up so well with the site's r-u-a-bot checkpoint.  The phone will soon need replaced.  That's some $300 - perhaps, including the $40-ish cost for the protective cover (a plastic unit, which probably costs less than $5, and still turning a profit)  Uhm, am holding off for as long as possible, before shelling out that money - and adding yet another piece of electronics to the overfull landfill pile.

Was sometime around the BC or AD division, some (likely cheap) seats,

in an arena, somewhere, in the roman empire had collapsed.  Anyway, recall reading, that funds had been sent from about all over the empire to help out the victims of this disaster.  Well, came as a surprise, because i didn't think they had charities back in those days.  So, that just further evidences, that even lost people will help out total strangers, when they can.

Here's where greed - and plain ripping off everyday people - is really vexing.  We all know of people who are in a jam - and will likely not get free, at least anytime soon.  Meanwhile, for the rest of us, there's only limited help we can offer - after all, we've our own issues, and it's too easy to end up in similar circumstances. Besides the people we actually know, who doesn't, at least every other day, also receive mailings from veterans' outreach, soup kitchens, children's hospitals, animal shelters...  And yeah, you want to contribute, but the question arises: does the money help the people, or does it help line some boss-beech's trouser pockets?  Ya even have to be careful with - so called - missions; not all missionaries are for real (or teach from the for-real Bible - a.k.a., King James).

On a similar note, saw a catchy title, while looking over the YouTube newsfeed.  "You're Not Poor, You're Being Robbed."  Amen.  If the post comes up again, am going to give it a click.  Probably a rant about taxes.  But taxes are only the surface - speaking of roads, they won't get paved, nor will the police keep them reasonably safe from drunk drivers - or worse - if there's no tax revenue.

Theft goes way deeper.  Try finding basic housecleaning implements, that you don't have to replace, about every time you turn around.  Those, so-called mop refills aren't cheap, and about all they're good for is, adding to the already overflowing landfill, or further mucking up the ocean - along with countless other items, which are intentionally made for exceedingly limited use.  

And yeah, made my own mop refills - an easy fix, for an old lady, who lives alone.  An old broad, who isn't schlepping from one service job to another, while ever chauffeuring two kids to different sporting events - at the very least, every sunday and wednesday (that's another rotten SCAM, for another post).  So yeah, i have the means to control what goes in my wastebasket; but alot of people don't have that option - i.e., when you're being economically gaslight, day and night, it's difficult to think straight, to plan.  So, to any smugs out there:  grow. a. heart.  Thankyou.

Yep, that's what unsaved people do: rob the stuffing out from people - even from their unredeemed brethren.  And then, turn around and scoff.  But hey, who said anything about "honor among thieves."

"Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God." 1 Corinthians 6:10

"But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake of fire which burneth with fire and brimstone : which is the second death." Revelation 21:8
