2017 is a year which
has pretty much sucked both politically and sociologically. Society’s values have gone down. I think all of this sexual harassment is just
a media fad and will fade away after a while.
At some point it begins to resemble hysteria. Maybe
a light is being shone in dark places. I
don’t know. But overall I come away just
being more synical about society in general.
If it’s as bad as they say then it’s pretty bad. About the only black woman who worked for
the Trump administration has either quit or was “escorted out of the White
House”. She’d gotten fired multiple
times on the apprentice. Now she’s
getting fired for real. It’s just
another purge of the administration making it lily white and in conformity to
what the Koch Brothers and Shelden Addelson demand of the Republican
Party. Yesterday I heard that the Reagan
administration changed corporate law so that pension funds were no longer
counted as accounts payable but instead marked as assets. This why the pension funds make a plum prize
for people who want to take over the company and not pay these pensions. Judy is always so obsessed about the poor
coveting and stealing from the rich. How
about the rich coveting and staling from the poor? Then there is the dreaded income tax
reduction which will give the rich billions and the poor will get a few
thousand- - if they are lucky. It’s a
Christmas theft on behalf of the rich.
Trump can’t believe every American within the sound of his voice lives
in his income bracket. Then we have
internet neutrality, which is a landmark ruling yesterday that will ruin the
internet as we have known it since 1989.
Of course then there is Vladimir Putin praising President Trump to the
sky and sounding like a Republican in doing it.
His speech along almost proves there actually is collusion. Then there the overitures to the Nazis and
the KKK, which are groups Trump has never shunned the support of. Still Shawn Hannity is steadfast in his
loyalty to Trump. Trump made certain
promises to Hannity even while lying to the rest of us. Now he’s kept the promises he made to Shawn
but not for the rest of us.
THURSDAY: Today the FCC ruled by
a vote of 3 to 2 along party lines, to repeal internet neutrality and all of
the attendant regulations that go with it.
They say to trust the businesses, but they have proven they can’t be
trusted. We are told mergers offer
better service and greater efficiency, when all they do is get people
fired. They are still talking about
“improved service” even now.
WEDNESDAY: Doug Jones, the Democrat won the Alabama
contest for US Senate b y a point and a half.
That’s three times the margin required for a vote recount. But Moore is not conceding defeat. The win was sure a surprise to me and I think
it was a surprise to Doug Jones even.
But it reduces the margin of senators in the Republican Party to 51 to
49 for the democrats. That’s a two point
buffer. It doesn’t matter anyhow because
the path is cleared by a compromise being reached between the House and Senate
versions of the tax slashing bill. Trump
is continuing to propagandize and lie about what this tax bill does to
America. This news should merit a blog
entry but everybody already knows about it.
Today is the day when some committee votes to end internet neutrality, which
we have had since 1989 or whenever Al Gore invented the internet. Right now some ruling is in effect that the
internet is like a utility like phone lines.
This will change today.
This is Friday December
15, 2017 and there were glitches in the new Star Wars movie last night. Either there was no sound in the vocals or
else the whole screen went dark a few minutes in. Apparently there were problems in multiple
theaters but the patrons got new tickets.
I turned off “The Price is Right” at ten to eleven just before the final
prize package and went out to smoke. We
had fish and chips or otherwise nuggets and French fries with catsup. We had grapes first thing in the meal and no
soup. I listened to the Gary and Shannon
show. Steve did a good job of unmasking
Kate’s actions on “Days of our Lives”.
They are about to tell us whether J J is guilty of shooting an unarmed
man. Nora showed up about a quartet till
two. We’re not happy with the job she
does. She soaks the bathroom floor with
her mopping so it takes ages to dry and Bill has complained of slipping. She slammed the two glass glasses together
such that I was afraid one of them might crack, but I saw no evidence of
that. Then she disconnected the right
speaker when she was dusting the stereo.
But she did a lot of dusting. I
went out but missed snacks. Silva gave
me her lemonade and Mario gave me three vanilla wafers.
I decided I better call
the bank to check my balance. I was
expecting twelve to fifteen dollars in spendable money. As it turned I’m technically in the hole once
both parts of the computer and phone bill are deducted. I called twice and checked the math and it’s
my error. I’m not happy. I went to the store and bought a two dollar
pack of Clipper and a three dollar jar of instant Nestcafe. I have one dollar left. I decided not to turn on Norman Goldman. I turned on Eye Witness news. Ellen Degenerous had Hillary Clinton on her
show and they were talking about how the Republican Party had deserted the
average American. We had a chicken salad
sandwich for dinner with big chunks of chicken.
We hat tater tots and catsup with that.
We had red Jell-O for dessert. It
was an under-sized portion. Jerry gave
me her Jell-O. My lighter also conked
out but I didn’t buy a new one because I’d rather have that money for either
fresh brewed coffee tomorrow morning or else four cinnamon rolls tonight. I haven’t decided yet.
