My high school opened when I was 3.

I worked in the trades to get through collage (BSME) at BYU (not state funded). Didn’t take a dime of government assistance.

Between 1950 and 1980, the
effective tax rate on total AGI increased about 50%. The tax rate on median AGI doubled.

Back in the day, I had a co-worker from Arkansas.

I called him “lunch meat”, because he was most likely inbred.

Las Vegas doesn’t have whorehouses. Prostitution is illegal in Clark County.

Several other counties in Nevad have legal prostitution, and typically those locations are a string of connected trailers.

They don’t have a lot of “gold crap” inside.

You fucking idiots voted for this. Some of y’all three times, because you wouldn’t pull the lever for a woman.

I’m merely attempting to get me and mine to the other side of this shitshow, by whatever means necessary.

No sympathy. No quarter.

… I have legalized robbery, called it belief
I have run with the money
I have a-hid like a thief
Re-written history with my armies and my crooks
Invented memories
I did burn all the books

The riots that eventually start due to SNAP payments being eliminated, food scarcity because farmers are going bankrupt, and increasing prices due to tariffs will forever be known as the Ballroom Blitz.

Freedom’s just another word for “nothing left to lose..”

There is nothing more terrifying to authoritarians than someone with nothing left to lose.

Families are already hanging by a thread, but the sad truth is it’s about to get a lot worse when SNAP benefits don’t go out in November.

It’s time to find our local food banks and help out with donations and volunteer hours if you are able.

Have you smelled a 3D printer ?

I was at a party and someone asked me what cologne I was wearing.

I said, "It's a custom blend. A subtle hint of ABS, with a light finish of uncured resin."
