When I say that, I mean the purest, rawest form of human idiocy that has seemingly infected EVERYTHING. There are a million places to go with this, but I'm talking the type of idiocy that is so grating and insulting to anyone with a functional brain that it just causes you to throw your hands in the air and scream.

I could be overreacting here. That's always a possibility. I try to even avoid reading the news half the time because I know it's going to be so brutal if any rationality is to be involved.

I like to be informed about WTF is going on in the world.. but it's inescapable. It's everywhere. Eventually you see it and it's just so infuriating. Let me cite examples of what I'm getting at:

(This is literally from the past three days alone)

In the WONDERFUL state of California, Governor Newsome is pushing a plan that would give the 1.8 million Black Californians with an enslaved US Ancestor a cool sum of $360,000. Welllllllll isn't that nice! Total cost of the program? Nothing too much... just a cool (checks notes) $640 billion... for a state with a massive budget deficit. Absolutely no information can be found as to how this would be paid for.

In the WONDERFUL city of San Francisco, over 100 reparations proposals were heard by a very eager Board of Supervisors INCLUDING: Payouts of $5 million (yes that is correct) to eligible adults, elimination of personal tax AND debt burdens (LMAO), guaranteed incomes of $97,000 for 250 years (WTF) and homes in San Francisco for just $1 a family (Haaaahhhhh). And GET THIS: The Board was apparently surprised to hear that people opposed this. How on EARTH could they be so foolish? Why no, there had been no analysis done to indicate how this would be paid for... but how could anyone care about silly things like MONEY over doing the right thing?!

I know it's California but Evanston, Illinois is apparently already doing it in some fashion (I don't even want to freaking know) and Boston approved a task force to study it. Federal Democrats have tried to get task forces going for this.

Okay, enough with that nonsense. Let's check in on the executive branch. As some, uhhh, issues with the banks unfold, rest assured, the Biden Administration is here for you!!! Necessary steps are being taken, including (checks notes) regulating f*cking washing machines.

Norm MacDonald voice: "HOLLLD THE FORT!" Of course! Makes sense! In order to confront the GLOBAL CLIMATE CRISIS, washing machines need to use less water. How will clothes get cleaned properly? Well apparently that's a great question because there appears to be no answer for it. The manufacturers seem to want some answers but nope... you will save the planet and you will like it!

(A reminder that all of this legendary dipsh*ttery is from the past three days alone)

And now we head to the City that Never Sleeps. Remember that wonderful Sanctuary City BS? Well guess what happened when the crisis arrived to NYC? You know, because all of those RACIST red states bussed them away and those STUNTS pulled by GOP Governors? Mayor Eric Adams is sending them away. Time to go! They will be resettled across the country. Weird, I remember the outcry when Texas and Florida relocated migrants... could've sworn it was racist. BTW let's just take a second to ponder the fact that the mayor of New York freaking city is legitimately slow. Seriously. That man is a f*cking retard. Let's see Mr. Adams' well thought out plan:

quote:
Many details, however, were not explained.

The mayor, for instance, said he did not want to reveal the names of partner cities that are planning to host more migrants for fear of souring those relationships.

“Please don’t ask me which cities because I don’t need you running to the cities and stopping them,” he told reporters at the announcement. “I know you enjoy pitting cities against cities, so we are not giving you that information.”

"Many details were not explained." Well if that doesn't sum it up. You want ANSWERS? Yeah no we definitely aren't giving you those.

Oh yeah and BLM.. remember that?! They received HOW MUCH from corporations thanks to that violen--errr I mean totally valid Summer of Love? Well if you guessed 83 billion (Yes with a B) then you would be correct. Not a single scholarship or playground or even lighting for some Midnight Basketball. Nada.

So after a wall of text in the form of examples I ask... How do you deal with this idiocy? It is going to continue to reduce the standard of living for everyone. It already has. You see it in every other headline. I just want to know how everyone tries to stay sane with economic and political instability that feels like it's going to continue to get way worse.
