I can’t really do anything about it today, so I might as well vent... just kill me now, but at least I'll feel a little lighter. And please—don't treat this as some profound manifesto; consider it a mere pressure valve. Feel free to say whatever you want in response.
Honestly, I am genuinely fascinated by how much we Americans can take. For centuries, other nations have tried to push us around, but the way we allow ourselves to be screwed over by our own people? That’s truly excessive.
My brilliant master plan would be this:
Everyone just walks out of the office—all twelve of us working in this country who are about to get shafted yet again—and we head out with our dear retirees (I have a few nearby who spent 40 years grinding for those meager $500 Social Security checks) and we all go together----
TO THE ATLANTIC OCEAN 🙂
And we save the season ourselves. No one is going to want to work for two or three weeks 🙂, and we’ll all get a decent break. If we’re going down, let's go down in style—maybe with some bright colors, if you ask me—and partying until dawn 🙂 (of course, the locals will welcome us like old friends and we won't pay a dime—mostly because we won't have any money left anyway). Let everything go to hell; let them try to tax the very air we breathe at 22% (or maybe 40%) sales tax.
Then we can see how things hold up without the small group of us actually doing the work. The amount they pour into those ridiculous government projects is incomparable to the tiny loss they'd face from our idleness. At least, that’s how it looks to me right now.
Anyway, I've vented my fill... you can either talk trash 🙂 or come along with me. Because if I'm going to march straight to the White House... well, it's probably better to hit Yellowstone first, then maybe the Grand Canyon, and then somewhere along the coast.....
Stay safe and healthy, everyone, and sorry for crashing into such "serious" topics...
