The 5 Stages Of Getting Orange-Pilled

# – # – # – # – #
I’m at “acceptance and hope” stage. Back when the employment model switched from “lifetime employment” to “job hopping/consulting”, I told my turkeys that there was now “Blue Light Special” announcement like at the now defunct Kmart to tell them that “the game” had changed. So to, now, imho, the “financial game” has changed and no announcement is being made. Bitcoin, alternative forms of money, and other commodities are replacing fiat currencies like the U$D, Euro, and others. Only the Russian Rouble has made the shift. All other forms of fiat are subject to “inflation” aka Gooferment Theft.
Unfortunately, not many have gotten the “non-announcement” and so will pay the tax and take the losses. Heaven help the bond holders who will get triple screwed (i.e., inflation, loss of income, and loss of capital value) when the 1/7 seesaw rocks against them (i.e., 1% rise in interest rate yields a 7% decrease in the dollar value a bond).
FWIW YMMV and TANSTAAFL (“There Ain’t No Such Thing As A Free Lunch” From Robert Heinlein’s classic)

The Age of the Absurd
Dennis Prager / @DennisPrager / May 03, 2022
*** begin quote ***
No. 11: America is systemically racist.
The manifest absurdity of this claim is easily demonstrated. In the past decades, more than 3 million black people have immigrated to America from Africa and the Caribbean. And probably tens of millions more would like to. Are all these people fools—choosing to move to a systemically racist country? Are they ignorant—unaware that America is systemically racist?
The non-absurd know the answers: All these blacks are neither fools nor ignorant. They know how lucky they are to move to America—because this country is so tolerant and so overwhelmingly nonracist. People don’t move to countries that hate them. No Jews moved to Germany in the 1930s.
We live in the Age of the Absurd. The only question is, why? I think I know the answer and will discuss it in a future column. In the meantime, share these 11 absurdities with friends and relatives, especially with those who actually think they make sense.
*** end quote ***
I remember a news clip from the corporate media doing a story about how the “evil Republicans” were slowing immigration and that there were long lines at out embassies seeking permission. One fellow in the line, who had been waiting for days, when asked why, replied: “America has fat poor people.” To me, that was the best answer I’d ever heard.
I see immigrants from India opening all sorts of businesses because it’s easy compared to the corruption in India. I see Oriental immigrants whose children seem to succeed in Gooferment Skrules against the odds. I see Mexican immigrants working their butts off at hard labor jobs and proudly showing off their new work truck for their efforts.
“Systematically racist” is something I don’t see. Pockets of idiots who either can’t or won’t try — of all races — seem to seek to blame “society”.
I will stipulate that the Gooferment “welfare” is designed to keep people poor and it is hard to break the cycle. But many do.
Let’s get the Gooferment out of the way.

It’s Time For States To Bury The ‘Death Tax’
By RealClearWire
May 4, 2022 at 10:56am
By Regina M. Egea for RealClearPolicy
*** begin quote ***
As a Founding Father and inventor, Benjamin Franklin was a visionary without peer in his time. His famous utterance “nothing is certain
except death and taxes” could easily apply to New Jersey in 2022, as residents of one of the highest taxed states in the Union find the
state’s insatiable appetite for revenue following them even to the grave through the Inheritance Tax or “Death Tax.”
In our latest research, Friendly Fire: Unintended Consequences of NJ’s Death Tax, the Garden State Initiative examined our state’s Death Tax, paid by some beneficiaries of inherited funds and properties.
New Jersey remains just one of six states to impose a Death Tax, along with Pennsylvania, Nebraska, Kentucky, Maryland and Iowa. Notably Iowa, as part of their widespread state tax reform effort, has moved to repeal it effective 2025.
*** end quote ***
Just “yet another reason” why retirees move out of the Pepuls Republik of Nu Jerzee. Some even take “their” New Jersey pensions with them.
The Gooferment, unlike it’s competition the Mafia, sees no problem with grave robbing.
Argh!

PCR test fraud & how Pfizer used this sensitive ‘over-cycled’ test with a 97% false-positive rate to defraud the US & the world, to work with FDA
to get EUA based on 8 vaccine and 162 placebo events
- What evidence does Jaafar and Bullard give us to devastate this PCR fraud these? What did we know yet disregard? What evidence did the CDC and FDA pretend not to exist on PCR false-positives?
Dr. Paul Alexander
*** begin quote ***
That Pfizer went to FDA with 170 events in total, 162 placebo control group and 8 in the intervention group, to get a FDA authorized EUA for a
safety untested vaccine for hundreds of millions if not billions globally, that we know today is ineffective and harmful, deadly…who do we jail first? That really is the question…who do we jail first? That they would unblind the studies knowing we would never then be able to get the efficacy/effectiveness and harms data ‘in the future’, at any time as now the placebo got the intervention. These really are academic scientific frauds.
What did Jaafar and Bullard warn us about as to the fraud over-cycled PCR test? Why has Pfizer not explained the specifics on the PCR testing in their trial?

Does anyone really think that this fraud will result in ANYONE going to jail?

Broadly, they break down into four categories:
1. I’m not convinced of the safety. (37 reasons)

3. I’m not convinced of the efficacy, (i.e., it’s not working.) (15 reasons)
4. I’m not convinced of the honesty of the actors involved. (14 reasons)
Put positively, at this point, I’m convinced these shots are not safe, not necessary, not efficacious, and that the actors involved have been dishonest in manipulating public opinion for their products.
Follow the links I provide. Think. Decide for yourself.

For me the most overwhelming items are “the honesty of the actors involved”.

Scottish Cities, Income Taxes, and NATO Article 5
by Guy Somerset Posted on April 30, 2022
*** begin quote ***
The Income Tax is Illegal – You Still Need to Pay It
There is perhaps no finer piece on hidden history than the book The Law That Never Was which makes a compelling, perhaps even unassailable, case the 16th Amendment to the United States Constitution never even came close to being properly ratified.
The “Income Tax Amendment” as it is commonly known was, as one might suspect, never very popular to begin with being in direct contravention to the intention of the Constitution itself. Hence, the need for an Amendment in the first place.
Those with a legal background will recognize certain…idiosyncrasies…of the court system. Particularly, that you can never – under any circumstances – imply a Judge reaches a foregone conclusion and then “fits” the facts to his intention. Clearly, that would never occur in America and you will be sanctioned by the Bar for saying so aloud.
All the same, there are circumstances in which everyone knows something and at the same time everyone pretends not to know that very thing. This is much the case with the 16th Amendment.
Any honest legal scholar or legitimate historian who has examined the facts must ultimately conclude at bare minimum there exists a strong argument the process of making the law was flawed in the extreme.
Except, what is the remedy?
The Federal government could never allow it to be decided the “Income Tax” was illegal. How would the leviathan then be funded? Would massive reparations to defrauded Citizens be in order? Under what conditions could another “Income Tax” Amendment be reinstituted under proper processes?
Clearly, all of the above are in practical terms impermissible. While the balance of the facts may be obvious, Lady Justice is going to tip the scales.
There will never be an admission the 16th Amendment was fraudulently recognized. Court historians, in the sense of being loyal to the prevailing system, will feverishly assent to the official narrative. Legal actors with any stature, or hope of professional advancement, will never acknowledge the charade.
It is quite simply an “agreed upon lie” which is pointed out at your peril – which means anyone reading this should know the 16th Amendment is not legitimate…and at the same time absolutely pay every single cent the government assesses you under that farce.
*** end quote ***
I guess here’s another revision to the Conspiracy Theorist’s scale — “agreed upon lie”!
When do “We, The Sheeple” ever wake up? If ever.

This Aaron Judge home run turned into one very uplifting moment.
Judge’s sixth-inning long-ball in the traveled 427 feet into the upper deck at Rogers Centre in Toronto on Tuesday night during the Yankees’ 9-1 win over the Blue Jays. It was quickly picked up by a fan wearing Blue Jays gear — who almost immediately turned around and offered it to a youngster seated behind him wearing a Judge T-shirt.

Biden’s DHS Confirms Plans to Siphon Healthcare Services Away from Veterans to Illegal Aliens at Border
John Binder
28 Apr 2022704
*** begin quote ***
President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has seemingly confirmed plans to siphon healthcare services away from American veterans treated at Veterans Affairs (VA) to illegal aliens arriving at the United States-Mexico border.
During a hearing before the House Homeland Security Committee on Wednesday, DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas confirmed to Rep. Ashley Hinson (R-IA) that the Biden administration is in talks with VA officials to potentially transfer doctors and nurses to the southern border to treat illegal aliens arriving every day in record-breaking numbers.
“Is the department planning to reallocate resources, doctors and nurses, from our VA system intended to care for our veterans to illegal immigrants at our southern border?” Hinson asked.
Mayorkas responded, stating that “the resources that the medical personnel from the Veterans Administration would allocate to this effort is under the judgment of the secretary of Veterans Affairs, who prioritizes the interests of veterans above all others for very noble and correct.”
*** end quote ***
Sigh! Once again the USA screws its military. Time to hold the Gooferment’s politicians and bureaucrats accountable.

Utah garbage man secretly filmed teaching woman a ‘lesson’ about American flag
‘I took an oath once to defend this country and our flag, and I still do,’ the man said
By Jon Brown | Fox News
*** begin quote ***
A garbage man in Utah was filmed last week taking an American flag out of the trash and folding it neatly when he thought nobody was looking.
Don “Munch” Gardner, a Marine Corps veteran, was secretly taped honoring the flag by Huntingdon, Utah resident Brooke Cowley, according to Fox 13.
“I was a complete idiot! I was cleaning our porch while the kids did an Easter egg hunt. I threw away our flag and pole because it had broken and ripped,” Cowley wrote on Facebook. “Then I witnessed our ‘garbage man’ stop get out of the truck, unhook the flag and take the time to fold it!”

Eye Test Innovators vs The Bottleneckers

*** begin quote ***
Need glasses? Going to an optometrist can be a pain and waste the better part of a day. So a company, Opternative, invented an at-home test.
It’s cheaper and more convenient than traditional eye exams. You just need a cell phone and a computer.
————
To make sure you see the new weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: https://www.johnstossel.com/#subscribe
————
But the American Optometric Association wants it banned. They say “it poses significant health risks to consumers” because “it relies on new, self-administered tests” rather than “assessment by an eye care professional.”
Is this new eye test dangerous? Or is it a cheap and efficient eye care alternative?
*** end quote ***
Well, when first I heard of it, I thought about my last eye exam. It was done by an ophthalmologist; not an optometrist. He scanned my retina. Reminded me to stay on my RX for high blood pressure that he’d detected more than a decade ago. As well as, noting that my cataracts had not progressed any further.
So there is a fine point on this. Although I’m not sure what an “assessment by an eye care professional” would mean if that “professional” is an optometrist?
YMMV, I recommend seeing an ophthalmologist for your annual exam. It may cost more but it could save your sight and even your life.

Supreme Court Definitively Ends the SALT Tax Deduction Case
- The highly dubious lawsuit filed by four blue states against the the law capping federal tax deductions for state and local taxes is now truly dead in the water.
Ilya Somin | 4.18.2022 8:26 PM
*** begin quote ***
As Jonathan Adler points out, today the Supreme Court refused to review a lower-court decision upholding the 2017 tax law’s caps on the federal tax deduction for state and local taxes. The law, enacted by a GOP-controlled Congress, limits this $10,000 for individual taxpayers and married couples filing jointly, and $5000 for married people filing separately. Jonathan rightly notes that the case never had much merit, which is why it was uniformly rejected by the lower-court judges who considered it (all of them Democratic appointees).
I have followed this case from its inception. The claims the plaintiffs raised about coercion, the Tenth Amendment, and other issues, are important for anyone who follows constitutional federalism issues, and would have set a dangerous new precedent had they succeeded. Here is a list of my posts about it.
*** end quote ***
While I am far from “rich”, having real estate in a “blue state”, I’m impacted by SALT.
i object to the entire concept of the “federal income tax”. The Dead Old White Guys must be rolling over when SCOTUS affirms the income tax and all the host of other confiscatory taxes that the central Gooferment levies on the people.
“We, The Sheeple” are just stupid cowards. The Revolution was fought over the King’s taxes which were a fraction of what we pay today. If the Blue States really had their acts togeter, they’d secede from the Union. If the Red States really had their acts togeter, they’d secede from the Union. There is NO reason to allow Washington to run our lives with one size fits all Gooferment policies.
Time has come for everyone to go their separate ways.
“Would you tell me please, Mr. Howard, why should I trade one tyrant three thousand miles away for three thousand tyrants one mile away? An elected legislature can trample a man’s rights as easily as a king can.” Mel Gibson as the character Benjamin Martin in the movie The Patriot http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0187393/quotes
We should trade for local tyrants, as opposed to Washington DC tyrants, because we MIGHT be able to convince the locals. If not, it’s not a far drive to bring the torches and pitchforks.
Argh!

On April 26, 1986, one of the world’s worst nuclear accidents occurred at the Chernobyl plant in the Ukrainian portion of the USSR. An explosion and fire in the No. 4 reactor sent radioactivity into the atmosphere; at least 31 Soviets died immediately. JWR’s Comments: I was unfortunately a Chernobyl down-winder. You see, I was TDY with the 2nd M.I. Battalion at Stuttgart Army Airfield that spring, working live Guardrail intel missions. After the Soviet reactor went kablooey, we were all lied to by both the West German government and the U.S. Army. They later revealed that they had downplayed the radiation risk, “to avoid panic.” So, at the time when the winds were unfavorable and I should have been safely tucked in a bunker, I was instead out riding my bicycle in the fallout. (I commuted by bike a couple of miles from a gasthaus in Echterdingen to Stuttgart Army Airfield.) The only fallout warning that they gave us was to avoid fresh dairy products. Lesson learned: Never trust any national government to have your best interest as their priority.

I think the track record of Gooferments in general is so poor when you evaluate your best interest as their priority.

Recently, a random act of kindness in the Nation’s Capital inspired a driver to share the video of a Good Samaritan.
Thousands were inspired by the moment that happened on April 14th, after it was shared on Reddit.
It may look like the woman, who was being drenched on the sidewalk, began holding the umbrella over a covered baby stroller, but upon closer inspection, you can see it was someone in a wheelchair holding a newspaper to cover their head.
Not only did the driver go out of his way, the woman used the umbrella to shelter the person in the wheelchair instead of herself.

The Moskva Riddle
Pepe Escobar • April 23, 2022 •
*** begin quote ***
Martyanov also stresses, “it is impossible to hide the external impact of the anti-shipping missile – one will immediately know what hit the ship. Moreover, to hit and sink such a target as the Moskva one has to launch a salvo and not only two missiles, likely 3-4 at least. In this case, Russia would know who attacked Moskva. Does NATO know? I am positive this event has NATO written all over it, if it is not an internal sabotage which absolutely cannot be excluded at this stage. I am sure if Nebo was operational it would have seen the salvo.”
Which brings us to the inevitable clincher: “If NATO was involved, I am sure we will see some retaliation, after all, as I am on record all the time, US bases in Middle East and elsewhere are nothing more than fat prestigious targets.”
So get ready: something lethally “asymmetrical” may be about to pop up.
*** end quote ***
Now here’s a good question for a “Conspiracy Theory”. Apparently, there are four good alternatives for what happened. It’s seems to be a well proven “fact” that something did happen. But, since I have not touched the hull or have someone reputable touch it, I can’t know for certain.
The author makes a plausible motivation for why NATO might have done something, but that is not evidence. And, one can’t really expect any reliable dikw (i.e., data, information, knowledge, wisdom) from Russia on the topic.
The whole Ukrainian tale about sneaking cruise missiles in while the crew was distracted by drones seems less likely.
So we just have to wait and see what “leaks” out.

Connecting the Dots on Early COVID Treatments
By Antonio R. Chaves
*** begin quote ***
As you may well know, hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) and ivermectin are among the most frequently mentioned drugs for early treatment of COVID-19. Both drugs were originally used to combat tropical diseases like malaria (HCQ) and river blindness (ivermectin). What follows is a very brief history of how they were repurposed for treating COVID-19
*** and ***
Whether or not you believe HCQ and ivermectin are effective early treatments is beside the point: Both of these generic drugs are considered safe for pregnant women and many nations sell these drugs over the counter.
Given that there is no moral or scientific basis for this unprecedented disruption of the doctor-patient relationship, why are the CDC and FDA doing this? Why do some dying patients need to resort to a court order to access alternative treatment?
*** and ***
If there is a silver lining to this grotesque charade, it is our growing awareness of the moral bankruptcy in our government, our media, our medical institutions. Most importantly, it has shed light on how easily massive segments of the population can be frightened into blind obedience.
If you still believe the lockdowns, mandates, and medical recommendations were hammered out in good faith, I have some Moderna stock to sell you.
*** end quote ***
It seems fairly obvious that Big Pharma got a huge payday and the Gooferment, the politicians, the bureaucrats, the media, and medical institutions were in on the scam.
I don’t think that “We, The Sheeple” even today have any clue as to how badly they were fooled. And, the long term effects have yet to be seen
Sigh!

If someone says “do it yourself online at http;//… …”, get your legal advice from someone with a valid law license in your state and who specializes in estate law. Don’t fall for the 99$ advertisements either. Doing it correctly will entail at least two visits to a lawyer and a few hundred dollars in legal fees.
P.S., the will should have “self-proving” affidavits. If it doesn’t, find another lawyer.
P.P.S., the lawyer as part of the fee should “vault” your original will for you and just give you copies. One of which is for your executor.
P.P.P.S., Do NOT put these papers in a safe deposit box in YOUR NAME. It’ll be sealed on your death. I paid for my executor to rent a save deposit box in her name and my stuff is in there. Easy cheap work around.
Remember all the famous people who died without paperwork and left a mess to get sorted out in the courts. Wills bring out the worst in nice people.
FWIW YMMV FAIWWYPFI,
Crazy Old Ferd

Dr.Byram W. Bridle, a hero of mines, a friend and colleague out of Canada: “A Moratorium on mRNA ‘Vaccines’ is Needed”, I am saying URGENT, I am saying clearly, a STOP, now! None in Children EVER! I share this substack from him for he deserves to be heard, he is brilliant and like me, our families were harassed and even stalked, our lives threatened and family’s, often by University faculty

I repeat, we are seeing a 40% spike in deaths (excess mortality) in the 18-64 year age group and 82% excess deaths in 25-44 year age group in the last quarter…we have to take a serious look at this and understand that these are tracking back to the vaccine. Not COVID.
IMO, these injections, these mRNA lipid nano particle injections must be stopped now and should have never ever been brought. It is time to end this, they have been shown to be ineffective and not safe.
*** end quote ***
Don’t “TL;DR”. It’s a long hard read, but it certainly asks some interesting questions. It was a profitable “experiment” for Big Pharma and all its toadies. Unfortunately, “We, The Sheeple” don’t know how it works out for us lab rats. Bottom line: I’m not “boosting” and I wouldn’t believe anything anyone says for a long long time. YMMV FWIW Crazy

First Priority — Avoid US War With Russia
Pat Buchanan • April 22, 2022 • 900 Words • 29 Comments • Reply
*** begin quote ***
Asked if the U.S. should send troops to fight beside the Ukrainians, Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del., said Sunday the time may have come.
Russian President Vladimir Putin “will only stop when we stop him,” said Coons.
“We are in a very dangerous moment where it is important that … we in Congress and the administration come to a common position about when we are willing to go the next step and to send not just arms but troops to the aid in defense of Ukraine.”
*** and ***
As U.S. forces fighting and killing Russians in Ukraine would ignite a U.S.-Russia war, which could escalate to nuclear war, we are not going to take that first step and risk the security and survival of our country, even if our staying out of this two-month war means the defeat of Ukraine.
Call it the Eisenhower position.
*** end quote ***
I often agree with Pat Buchanan and this time is no exception.
I would point out that the USA overthrew the elected Government in the Ukraine when it was pro-Russia.
I would also point out that the USA via “Voice of America” encouraged the Hungarian revolution and then (once again) “hung the poor dupes out to dry”.
The USA should just stop being the instigator and MYOB!
Oh BTW, Chris Coons should go put boots on the ground; not “our” young women and men.

A Staggering Number of Athletes Collapsed This Past Year
BY Joseph Mercola TIME April 19, 2022
*** begin quote ***
Story at-a-glance
- The shocking statistic was revealed by One America News Network (OAN), which also found the average age of the athletes who suffered cardiac arrest is just 23 years old
- An updated report by Good Sciencing, a team of investigators, news editors, journalists and “truth seekers,” has detailed 890 cardiac arrests and other serious issues among athletes, including 579 deaths, following COVID-19 shots
- With cases like these becoming impossible to ignore, even a mainstream media sports channel in Australia speculated that the health issues could be linked to COVID-19 shots, and one of the hosts acknowledged that multiple players have suffered from heart issues and Bell’s palsy following COVID-19 booster shots
More than 769 athletes have collapsed on the field during a game from March 2021 to March 2022. The shocking statistic was revealed by One America News Network (OAN), which also found the average age of the athletes who suffered cardiac arrest is just 23 years old.[1] The unprecedented surge in cardiac arrest and other heart issues among elite athletes coincides with the rollout of COVID-19 jabs.
The Miami Open made headlines in early April 2022 after 15 players — all of whom had reportedly received COVID-19 injections[2] — dropped out. Among them were favorites Paula Badosa and Jannik Sinner. Badosa left the court in tears after becoming unwell, and Sinner’s opponent said he saw him “bend over” on the court, noting “it was very strange.”[3] Even the fans were confused, with one stating, “What is going on?”[4]
As Pearson Sharp of OAN explained, “These are just two of more than 769 athletes who have collapsed during a game, on the field, over the last year.” He continued:[5]

I know that the corporate establishment media puts the rap on One America News Network. But even a stopped clock is right twice a day.
Where is the Gooferment, corporate establishment, or anyone reporting on or debunking this.
I’d like to now and until I do, I suspect that the Covid-19 jab is to blame.

FDA: What did the FDA know and when did they know it? We need this agency, past and present commissioners under oath, and we need them to explain and if they were reckless and costed lives, JAIL!

A friend got a check “washed” that had been mailed in a drop box, altered, and cashed.
Needless to say, they didn’t even conceive of such happening.
I suggested a few follow ups on what to do.
First and foremost, immediately file a police report.
He’d notified bank and changed accounts Updated on the credit reporting agencies (transunion, experian, equifax, etc).
Then, he’s going to notify all the places he hold accounts.
Argh!
I think IMHO the banks should have the ability for account holders to “pre post” the checks they write with the check number and amount. In effect, “write” it twice — once on paper and once on line. Then if the check gets altered, the bank will no to reject it. Seems simple enough to me and would be a great “value added service”. I’d think it would be real popular with business. After all the bank’s bill pay is almost that already.

Reinke Faces Life 
INSPIRATIONAL: Some of what is screamed out in public is truly “ABSURD”
Tuesday, May 10, 2022https://www.dailysignal.com/2022/05/03/the-age-of-the-absurd/?utm_source=TDS_Email&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=MorningBell&mkt_tok=ODI0LU1IVC0zMDQAAAGEN6lkVYy7Qeh_Yxo1_IRnzTZh9sNXe5H5seFIcbQsvr7Z8zogCtsbhx1d46UtUYZHC-dVZwkTtAGTcWtkcbm8GlmtJe0Y2Rk5gQ5FDRojrJBTbwp5
The Age of the Absurd
Dennis Prager / @DennisPrager / May 03, 2022
*** begin quote ***
No. 11: America is systemically racist.
The manifest absurdity of this claim is easily demonstrated. In the past decades, more than 3 million black people have immigrated to America from Africa and the Caribbean. And probably tens of millions more would like to. Are all these people fools—choosing to move to a systemically racist country? Are they ignorant—unaware that America is systemically racist?
The non-absurd know the answers: All these blacks are neither fools nor ignorant. They know how lucky they are to move to America—because this country is so tolerant and so overwhelmingly nonracist. People don’t move to countries that hate them. No Jews moved to Germany in the 1930s.
We live in the Age of the Absurd. The only question is, why? I think I know the answer and will discuss it in a future column. In the meantime, share these 11 absurdities with friends and relatives, especially with those who actually think they make sense.
*** end quote ***
I remember a news clip from the corporate media doing a story about how the “evil Republicans” were slowing immigration and that there were long lines at out embassies seeking permission. One fellow in the line, who had been waiting for days, when asked why, replied: “America has fat poor people.” To me, that was the best answer I’d ever heard.
I see immigrants from India opening all sorts of businesses because it’s easy compared to the corruption in India. I see Oriental immigrants whose children seem to succeed in Gooferment Skrules against the odds. I see Mexican immigrants working their butts off at hard labor jobs and proudly showing off their new work truck for their efforts.
“Systematically racist” is something I don’t see. Pockets of idiots who either can’t or won’t try — of all races — seem to seek to blame “society”.
I will stipulate that the Gooferment “welfare” is designed to keep people poor and it is hard to break the cycle. But many do.
Let’s get the Gooferment out of the way.
