SNOW DAY

Today was the second serious snowfall of the year, here locally.  I’m not sure what it is doing in other parts of the country, nor do I really care.  Locals in Hawaii are no doubt doing as they always have, failing to show the proper respect to their White imperial rulers and basking in 75 degree temps.  Floridians are wishing they were in Hawaii which has no sinkholes or pythons and is warmer than where they are.  Those in North Dakota are wondering why they ever displaced the Buffalo and decided to live in such a cankerous rejected godforsaken land which sees the worst temps outside of the Artic or Antarctic Circles.  But every state in the Union has one similarity and that is that every swing cheese dingus there does their level best to pretend that bad weather can’t get in the way of making them money ( or, on a lesser scale, getting in the way of spending money ).  We’ve all seen the TV news reports, either after action photos or live action video of cars piling up into each other, being buried and desperately shoveled into or slipping and sliding down the road.

And this is always reported in an entertainment style.  As in, look what sport this all is.  Oh, they yammer on of course, false concern as they tell you to stay home if possible.  But does your employer care that the road is unsafe?  Hell, no.  Even if he is one of the few that still offers you health coverage at “only” 80% of your gross income, try getting in an auto accident and being laid up for three months, and see how long you keep your job ( they will of course always keep a position open for you, just like with maternity leave.  With bizarre hours, different bosses, extra heaping helpings of corporate demands to drive you insane, or other hidden inducements to quit ).  The only reason that there isn’t more workplace accidents is that far fewer of us operate dangerous equipment and have far fewer manufacturing jobs.  If they could, they WOULD try to kill you off on the job.  Off the job, they could give a crap about your impacted relationships, stress related health issues or the cost or danger of commuting.  We’ve regressed back to the Robber Barons.

They might still have some Snow Days for schools, but both because teachers are one of the few Union positions left ( Beckers, Trumpers, Reaganites and the rest do their best to spit on teachers unions, but in all of our rush to get a “free enterprise system” we’ve enriched the 1% and screwed almost all workers.  Less free trade and less inequality would be an awesome thing, which is the reason any politician holding those views also seems to add on gun control almost as if to make sure nobody, especially not even workers, are for workers rights anymore ) and because crushed skulls and twisted limbs of small tykes is frowned upon, that is the exception.  As a result, every snow day or flood or whatever still sees every swinging cheese dingus desperately driving through very unsafe conditions ( our city, which loves to piss away money rebuilding roads or tennis courts when nothing is wrong with them, refuses overtime for plowing snow.  And they don’t start all that early either.  All the civilian vehicles are expected to create their own paths ).  Because Bitches Gots To Be Paid.

Why do I bring this up?  Not just because I hate everyone, although I do, but to make a point about bigger issues going unresolved.  If people won’t stay off the road when they should, taking their lives into their hands which doesn’t bother me because they are worthless dingus holes but what does annoy me is they are on the same road as I am and they are dangerous to ME ( as I am dangerous to them, although that isn’t as important-hey, I’m working for corporate pricks just like the rest of you ), then why for the love that is good and holy makes anyone think they will put the health of the planet before Getten Paid?  All these Gore Warming douche bags that kill trees for books or poke holes in the ozone to air travel, why do you bother preaching that we all need to “step up” and do “x, y and z” to save the planet?  Nobody is going to sacrifice Da Benjamin’s for some artsy fartsy intangible concept that doesn’t even have short term feedback, nor can even be proven except by Smart People Consensus.  Ah, newsflash, dudes, the consensus was that the earth was flat, the universe circled around it and that plate tectonics was a wild theory, at one time.  Asking the masses to suspend disbelief this time is basically just telling them that This Time Is Different, and that they are in fact smarter than you.  Which might or might not be the case, but you do nothing to make your case by insulting your audience ( I can get away with it because Sweet Baby Jesus loves me above all others and my hair outshines most ).

*

( note: I’m pretty convinced of Gore Warming myself, and very suspicious of corporate greed and funding skewing the “deniers”, but that doesn’t make any of the above untrue ).  What if mass action could change anything?  You are still looking at the Law Of Snow Days.  Which says that those that are not forced to drive in unsafe conditions by their employer will still do so anyway if money is involved.  If anything, anything at all, about the health of the ecosystem dares to stand in the way of making money, the Earth loses.  Other species loses.  Your own species outside your tribe loses.  Eventually your own tribe loses.  But none of that matters.  Just money.  Even your “Christians” are not very charitable about others if money is at stake.  Jesus kicking the money lenders asses only means you can’t charge TOO much interest, and that whole “dominion over the beasts” covers clear cutting and extinctions quite nicely, thank you.  Christ Crapping On A Cracker, Christian Militia Survivalists are some of the greedier ones, Yuppie Scum personified.  Only Mammon’s ( Mormon’s ) are worse, culturally.  All things in moderation means money, also.  Dinguses.
