Somebody should write a cautionary tale… a children’s book about the evils of bullying.
Wait! That’d be too terrifying. Why ruin their childhood anymore than it already is?

Adult son lives with us. Can’t afford to live on his own. His employer was bought out by huge corporation. His health insurance tanks. He needs it.

CBS & Paramount etc., etc. are linked.
Think mergers and acquisitions. Think private equity. Think control by the wealthy few.
Forget mainstream media.
Stop watching or streaming what these companies own.
It’s where our power lies.

Increasingly, we watch DVDs . We buy used. Much less expensive than streaming. Some I flip later.
Streamed a show yesterday. Eight ads in a row, one ad was repeated five times.

The essence of the show wasn’t the cool gadgets, cheesy sets, the occasional bad scripts or acting.
It was about the ongoing development of human consciousness. The exploration of inner space to define what it means to be human.
As long as there are humans, that will be relevant.

Typically, the only beef I buy is ground. I use less meat period.
Almost never buy, chips, soda,etc. so I can still afford coffee. Extravagant.
Sales dictate dinner.
I thrift even more than before.
Been poor a good portion of my life. Never expected it to be this bad and to get worse.
