The trouble with Pure Capitalism is it’s a race to the bottom and the guy with the most money wins.
And usually that guy is the one who’s the pushiest, meanest, or least honest.
So Pure Capitalism is about rewarding the psychopaths and bullies.
I want tougher laws against big companies. I want big stores to hit a limit so other places can give more choices and have a chance to support themselves. I mean thinking about trying to start up a company these days and competing in an honest way against some of these giants is really not a fun idea.
Sorry for the rant? But a 3rd generation store nearby finally shut down because it couldn’t compete with the advertising budget of a place with over 1000 stores that opened up nearby. They lasted 3 years in direct competition. But the fight just slowly bled them dry.
The owner was practically crying during the last week as he basically gave everything away. They had good quality. Made in America stuff. But couldn’t compete with a place standing nearby with cheap China imports.
Man. There’s got to be a better way to get things done than this.
Seriously.
K. Let’s have this ride.
Yeah, it sucks. But it’s been that way for awhile.
It’s just getting worse, though. My grandmother had a friend who invented an electric engine sometime in the 50s or 60s, patented it, the whole thing. Apparently, the feds confiscated it as being a “threat to national security” and completely destroyed him. From what transpired with Tucker, that’s not too far fetched. I’m sure there are plenty of other similar stories out there.
I don’t get it.
The joke, Warb, is that you can “make” even the most benign sentence sound like a euphemism for “something” sleezy if you “say it” a “certain” “way.”
You’re disgusting Dom.
I would put this in my sig if I weren’t so lazy.

I’m reminded of a stand up comedian’s joke I once heard about someone who announces they’ve invented an engine that runs on tap water, who’s quickly shot dead by a mysterious assassin moments later.
The late 1950’s series One Step Beyond, (similar to The Twilight Zone except the stories were supposed to be based on factual events) had an episode about an inventor who suddenly vanishes after demonstrating a pellet that turned water into gasoline.
Where were you in '77?

Would you believe that’s only about a fourth of the pussies I had at that time?
That’s not fucking around. That’s working.
Same thing.

There was an episode of The Lone Gunmen that dealt with a guy who invented a car that runs on water, too, if memory serves.
It was a recurring topic in That 70s Show too.

My sister (18, same as I) is such a dumbass. We left the house for five days only to return to find that she didn’t flush the fucking toilet. Naturally, it smelled like hell.
Why would anybody do that?

Don’t you like the environment?
I would put this in my sig if I weren’t so lazy.
I thought the expression was ‘If it’s yellow, let it mellow. If it’s brown, watch it drown?’
If it’s brown flush it down is what I always heard, but the whole expression is a crock anyway. Just flush.
I recall hearing it when the drought out here was at it’s worst a few years back.

Why must every song coming on the radio be about unrequited love?

Because I run the radio stations. Next question!

Stairway to Heaven is one of the most played songs in radio history.
