Politicians gain their power from The People. It is alarming as an American that nearly half the country actually wants this to happen because “the other side is getting hurt” without recognizing that they too will suffer alongside the people they are told to dislike.

What was that infamous quote from POTUS LBJ again? “Convince the poorest white that he’s better than the richest black so you can pick his pockets clean [paraphrasing]”

It’s incredibly jarring to have the burden of knowledge while others revel in their own ignorance. As a minority and a former Marine, I am deeply ashamed and disappointed in my fellow Americans.

I argue mostly everyone here never had a real banana. No, the ones in the stores aren’t the original flavor.

Whatever happened to those fine individuals who said “Rather be a Russian than a Democrat?” Wish they were the ones that are leaving.

Since I lost my job, I’ve been macguyvering stuff around the house to save money. For example:

Every week I would take out my blue trash can for the garbage folks to pick up/dump, but for the past month I haven’t bothered to take it out. Why? I’ve been reusing the cardboard as weed barriers for my garden (with mulch on top) to using egg cartons as temporary seed trays to using those clear fruit containers as pots as well.

Empty coffee cans endnup being filled with other smaller oddities around the home or used as a smaller bucket for when I need to harvest sand.

Point being, you be surprised how resourceful you can be if you give it a try.

A not so sweet reminder that the US had concentration camps, one of them being the infamous Manzanar camp in California that housed Japanese-American citizens as their property were seized and sold to the public. Not too long ago, eh?

The revolution will be televised; behind a paywall.
