JERIATRIC JUNK LAND

As Baby Jesus is my witness, I fear for the safety of my in-laws. The NOL's daughter, granddaughter and son-in-law are a trio of Keystone Kops, as much as I love them and acknowledge them as being some of the nicest folks I've ever met. They are going to get themselves hurt, bumbling through life oblivious to everything not of their unicorn reality. They sold the house ( probably at the top of the market-God does look after children, drunks and idiots ) and bought an RV to live in ( good thing he is a handyman- the brand new unit was falling apart within weeks, and at a price I wouldn't spend on a house ), and went chasing jobs.

*

That is actually working out for them, and I'm happy that the population of Nevada has been reduced again. Only about a minimum of a million folks to go. Hell, we get rid of enough of these Cali rejects and maybe even Vegas would be worth living in again. Anyway, before they took off for greener pastures, I had offered them the use of one of my vacant lots to park on. All they needed was a gennie, some solar panels and a tank to haul in water from their constant town trips.

*

Well, honestly and with absolutely no hyperbole, I was looked upon as if I had suggested they sacrifice a virgin, violate its corpse and then run over a kitten after dropping the N Bomb apropos to nothing. Haul water!!! They were NOT savage primitive barbarians, thank you very much! I was frankly amazed at the violent response. I mean, mom is a Yuppie Bitch, but daughter and dad are as redneck as they come. I'm sure they wouldn't mind. Regardless, I was persona non grata there for some time.

*

I've already told the tale of my fathers violent reaction against turning down the thermostat to help with the bills, and he is a macho sports dude retired cop. Not a pussy in anyone's book. And today, I had a minion write me ( he suggested this fine article idea ) and describe his experience with an older couple. They were stuck in a town gone bad and exploring options to move. They were in top shape, even regular gym members ( not exactly in their dotage ).

*

When junk land with a mobile home was suggested, their response was along the lines of “we're too old to go primitive”. A mobile home! Hell, to me, a mobile home would be moving up in the world. All that extra space, and really easy to add insulation to. My daughter, living in the ghetto to go to school and pinching pennies, has no interest in free land here in Elko, and her brother, tough as nails Marine, won't go from semi-tropical Carolina ( I think they are in the process of moving from South to North ) to the cold of Nevada ( they lived here a few years as wee ones, but culturally they are Southern ).

*

What is with people? This insane reaction to Collapse Now And Avoid The Rush? What makes people want to be retirement age and still work at Amazon? From all I've heard, the warehouse job at Amazon works you like you are a twenty year old. And grandma thinks that is easier than living off grid? How can people still think a full paycheck provides any security, when the cost of living is so insane ( if your city has any jobs, the apartments start out at half your take home pay, if you are lucky ).

*

And what difference does living on grid make if you are as big of a pig as I've seen from many people? They use so much toilet paper to inexpertly wipe their ass, they clog up the pipes ( after having flushed tampons, cigarette butts, secret love letters from an affair and small pet rodents down the pipes ) and live with overflowing crappers. How much worse is that from hauling sewage into town?

*

The power is always going out, from overpopulation and the power company laying off people who used to fix the aging infrastructure, as the corporation desperately tries to make up the loses from the bond market. How worse is it to use a bit less power and generate their own? City water is what you'll be drinking regardless of where you live ( unless well supplied from rain ), but in town the rates keep going up to pay for bureaucratic incompetence. Wouldn't it be better to not subsidize others sewage and golf course use? Here is a Fun Filled Fact from, I think, Aesop.

*

Twenty-five years after the LA earthquake, the city STILL has no idea of where all the water and sewer lines are that ruptured. I mean, DAMN!, I thought the folks had it bad in New Orleans, where the OtherColor Condos were still piles of moldy used lumber. What has LA been doing with all the tax money that whole time? Building public transportation nobody uses? Paying into the broke CALPERS program? Bribing the Oh-Pressed Minorities from rioting again? If a city water main break causes a sinkhole, does the insurance pay or is that an Act Of God? And WHY does everyone want to use these decrepit systems?

*

Here is another one of my half baked theories ( go ahead, ask me. Yes, I have, literally, thousands ). If you don't see the monster, he can't see you. Every eight year old was an anti-monster device called a bedspread. And almost every adult in this country ( well, the world, really. Even Bush Bitches probably pine for a better life and so refuse to fully acknowledge reality ) acts like that little kid. If they ignore the collapse, it can't be happening. You see, just ask them. Greedy corporations are responsible, not diminishing resources. There is no Peak Oil-either the Big Oil Companies are evil or Fracking Oil is just as good as regular oil.

*

Hell, it is all liquid and flammable, right? Must be same-same. Because the US grew lots of crops when tractors were first introduced, we'll be the global grain producer forever more. The system isn't broken, it is just crooked politicians ( as if there was any other kind. Looking at you, TheEconomicCollapseBlog Dude! ). If people actually admitted the public utilities were broken and limping along, that would bring forth the monster from the closet. So to their dying breath, denial.

*

More than a river in Egypt, to you and me, a proud lifestyle to the other 99.999999% of the population. To include everyone you think might be a fellow tribe member. Denial Til Death! That means, they don't believe you about light discipline and marauders, and even if they stay awake during guard duty, most likely they go outside on the porch, leave the door open, and go smoke a cigarette in front of God and everybody. Don't believe me? YOU are in denial. People individually are retards.

*

People together are even more stupid. The only reason any of us are alive is because, by accident, someone stumbled on the right way to form an infrastructure that protected them. Now, nobody knows what that system is or how it works, and its demise from lack of proper inputs is unrecognized. Between denial and mental retardation, nobody knows crap. And as much time and effort as I try to point out how retarded people are, they ignore me. I still try. Tomorrow, even though it is futile and no one will listen, the best way a geriatric can get out on junk land with the minimum amount of disruption or hard work.
