I was readi...Crinkle cut! I'm dyin' here! <br /><br />I was reading Reddit, and someone on the r/homeless forum (or was it r/lostgeneration or r/aboringdystopia ?) and someone said that while those "stan" countries are repressive theocracies, at least if you're poor and live in the local shantytown, they don't come through with bulldozers and flatten the place and take everything you own including ID, family pictures, medicines, etc. <br /><br />And this is where I realized: The ragheads are winning. The ragheads, the chicoms, and yes, even the Papists. <br /><br />Our system is set up to keep everyone running their ass off on a treadmill as Protestant Work-Ethic believing Rugged Individualists(tm) and thus, you can't just be homeless and living in a tent or an old fridge box, you're either a yuppie scum running frantically to stay in one place or you're a Non-Person(tm). <br /><br />All well and fine if, say, those who end up in fridge boxes are losers anyway. But the system has been cannibalizing first the marginal working class like Otto the bus driver, and Comic Book Store Guy, pretty soon Marge's two ugly sisters will lose their jobs with the DMV and be out on the street, then they'll come for the teachers and all the rest of the ex-middle-class. <br /><br />At least in the 'stans, well, one of the pillars of Islam is charity. The Catholics actually read the New Testament once in a while and remember that Jesus was poor (the Protestants have him driving a solid-gold SUV, and he is the Jesus of the Crinkle-Cut set) and as for the chicoms, well, those communist ratbastards have Confucius as their guide as much as Lenin, and they'll at least come up with some work for you to do and a hovel to live in - while Right-Thinking Americans just bulldozed your hovel. <br /><br />alex carterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12458022111793552536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-91948839975488177462020-01-01T00:20:30.854-08:002020-01-01T00:20:30.854-08:00I looked up that quote and indeed, the most up-to-...I looked up that quote and indeed, the most up-to-date info I've been able to find on McCarthy is about 28 years old. <br /><br />https://archive.nytimes.com/www.nytimes.com/books/98/05/17/specials/mccarthy-venom.html?_r=2<br /><br />The guy started writing in the 50s.

I once bought a "fiberglass filled" plastic digital caliper, thinking that would be good enough to be able to say to my customers that a given roll of wire was 'yay' thick and not be lying, well, the polymer miracle new-tech caliper had me lying all the time - I went over to Grainger post haste and paid their price (which should indicate how badly I wanted the thing) for a good old Mitutoyo stainless steel digital caliper, which turned out to be scarily repeatable and reliable. I can't imagine how sloppy polymer gun parts will get. alex carterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12458022111793552536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-73860762950694857482019-12-31T17:46:45.687-08:002019-12-31T17:46:45.687-08:00Wrench2-damn, orchard land is only $8 a year?

Like Social Security, does anyone really think FDIC will protect them when they need it the most? Let's not forget most people can't even cover a $1000 emergency. Being out of debt is self insurance. Then all you need to do is sell enough apples to cover your property tax.
