Quick Hits Part One

Biden's demented brain confabulates a new retcon: he claims he "literally convinced" the segregationist Strom Thurmond to vote in favor of the Civil Rights Act.

Even among Biden's innumerable lies, this one sets a new standard for mendacity, as every detail of it is false: the Civil Rights Act was passed in 1964, eight and a half years before Biden entered the Senate, Thurmond voted against it, and the segregationist senator didn't die until nearly forty years later. Is it the dementia? Or is it just Joe being Joe? It's increasingly hard to tell the difference.

Biden sounded even feebler than usual as he spoke to the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law. "Pause for just a moment," Old Joe began weakly. "I thought things had changed." He was reiterating his false and destructive claim that America in 2023 is beset by a systemic racism that only socialism and forced redistribution of wealth can cure.

Sounding as if he were on the brink of collapse, he summoned the strength to go on: "I was able to -- literally, not figuratively -- talk Strom Thurmond into voting for the, the Civil Rights Act before he died. And I thought, 'Well, maybe there's real progress.' But hate never dies, it just hides. It hides under the rocks." How does someone "figuratively" convince someone else to do something? But never mind, that's the least of the problems with Old Joe's latest ramble.

The Civil Rights Act passed the Senate by a 73 to 27 vote on June 19, 1964. Thurmond and other Southern Democrat senators (Thurmond would later become a Republican) made up twenty of the 27 dissenting votes. Old Joe Biden wouldn't enter the Senate until Jan. 3, 1973. When the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was passed, Biden was enjoying the summer before his senior year at the University of Delaware. There is no indication that Young Joe, 21 years old at the time, knew Strom Thurmond or spoke with him about the Civil Rights Act.

Meanwhile, the spree criminal and foreign operative Hunter Biden is "downsizing" due to China and Burisma not sending him $100,000 every month, and moving into a very small, very modest $15,800 per month Malibu beach mansion.

Hunter Biden, who is embroiled in a tenuous legal position, reportedly downsized to a $15,800 a month ocean view Malibu home, a substantial cut back from his previous $20,000 a month California residence.

While the national average rental price is just north of $2,000 a month, Hunter Biden, the first family's business rainmaker, pays $15,800 a month for a beautiful residence on the Pacific Ocean, the Daily Mail reported.

Hunter Biden's new home is a three-bed, three-bath compound with panoramic sea views, built on a cliff in a gated community. The rental's listing calculates the home's square footage to be 2,500, with an estimated value of over $4 million.

The property's listing describes it as having "mesmerizing ocean views that are the ultimate backdrop for dining alfresco or stargazing over the shimmering Pacific" and a "vastly open floor plan, beautiful wood-beamed ceilings and large windows that give the illusion of being fully immersed and in total harmony with nature."

The house also boasts a luxurious kitchen and a "guest studio with private balcony overlooking the ocean that creates the perfect artistic space."

Oh right he does "art" now. And his main patrons just happen to be wealthy Democrat donors and Chinese businessmen.

Gen Zer In Their First Internship Can't 'Fathom' Working For The Rest Of Their Life -- 'I'm Just Supposed To Do This Forever 'Cause I Need Money?'

...

In a now-deleted post to the subreddit r/LateStageCapitalism, one young person expressed their extreme dissatisfaction with what their future held.
A Gen Zer in her first internship can't 'fathom' having to work for the rest of her life.

The short yet not entirely simple answer to her existential question is, well... yes. The Gen Zer's commentary was reposted on the Twitter account "F---k You I Quit," who state in their bio, "The labor market is a mess. Here to show you why. Highlighting workers' conflict with poor management, corporate greed, bad business, and the economy."

The Gen Zer posed the question, "Any other gen z workers finding it impossible to fathom the rest of our lives like this?" They went on to explain their harrowing experience, stating, "In the midst of my first internship and I cannot believe generation after generation has been doing this bulls--t work and it is fine with it."

"I sat sobbing at my laptop today trying to write some blog post about federal funding that was assigned to me today, doing the most boring s---t of all time that drains me of all my energy and has zapped my passion for writing, and I'm just supposed to do this forever with a smile on my face 'cause I need money?" She continued.

"F---k each and every person who made this system and keeps it upright and acts like they're happy about it, too," she went on. "I'm also a full-time waitress at two restaurants and I want to be an artist and a writer but nothing that fills my cup or makes me happy will ever pay the bills."

The young person vocalized a harsh truth that tends to surface as we grow older and join the workforce: Having a job is often exhausting and unfulfilling.

"I feel so pissed off at the world right now and even though I know not [every day] will feel this bad, I also can't help but fear it's going to get worse as I have to pay for more things to survive and this bulls---t job will be all I can rely on," she said. "I hate it here."

Well, no, actually. You're supposed to sit in your rent-controlled flat and starve to death surrounded your fellow starving hippies, only to be found when the stench of your decaying bodies overcomes the patchouli.

I mean, it's your choice as to whether you want to live or not, or if you want to live like a hobo. But if you want to live and thrive, yes, you have to work. Or, get married to a successful Gordon Gecko type and suck at his teat for the rest of your life. But I don't think you have the skills necessary to achieve that.

If you value everyone's labor at $0/hr, though, then you'll find some pushback on that.

At age 65, there is not a single HR department in the nation that would do much beyond hitting "delete" on reviewing my well documented, Fortune 1000 resume. Too old, over-qualified; they'd assume I'd be too expensive, too. (actually, I'm only $20, same as in town an AP "journalist.")

I've done a LOT of work I didn't "love". But I did take pride in doing those jobs well, and to the best of my abilities. HER next "internship" should be as a plumber's apprentice. Shitty job might straighten up her shitty outlook on work and on life.

So CP said "Hey, you got me Joe--I will travel to another unobserved quantum state and talk that ol' cracker into voting for the Act." Then CP stroked the blonde hairs on my legs and disappeared into the ether. And that's the story of how I got Corn Pop to talk my buddy Strom into voting for the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

170 I remember my first career job after ten years of crappy jobs working my way through college.

I actually had a desk and a chair, and no one yelled at me constantly. I had no clue at first, and actually was trained on my primary job by the Summer Intern. It was trending control instrumentation calibration data. We did not even have a computer, it was hand graphed data. I was lost at first. Scared they would realize I had no clue.

By six months, I was not only finding real problems, I was finding the solutions and getting them installed. I was suddenly the go-to guy for our safety system controls by the second year.

Give any first job a year

179 The first job I mentioned earlier was shipyard work. The Navy was switching over from crude oil to refined so a crew of guys had to get in to the fuel compartments, power wash them out. Then you had rust so that had to be worked over with grinders. Think 12 guys in a metal room with grinders. Then they had to be painted. I did that for about 9 months. Guys got hurt every day. I think I made about $9 per hour. I never felt clean until months after I got into college.

260 Gen Zer In Their First Internship Can't 'Fathom' Working For The Rest Of Their Life -- 'I'm Just Supposed To Do This Forever 'Cause I Need Money?'

A clearer-thinking young woman recently stated that feminism lied to her by claiming work was more fulfilling than raising a family. That seems like a more sane framing than whining about capitalism and the patriarchy.

267 I guess I've never had a "crappy job." I've waited tables and tended bar. I worked at McDonald's when I was 16. I worked at a bakery, it was early morning hours and HOT. Pediatrics was pretty gnarly at times. I don't really like colons. Or nasty, diabetic ulcers on homeless peoples feet. But, meh. I always tried to do a good job.

269 Intellectuals died first in the Gulag - manual laborers were tougher, and could survive longer.
Of course, calling this snowflake an "intellectual" is a real stretch.
Posted by: The ARC of History! at August 29, 2023 06:46 PM (2tUFv)

The Gulag used common criminals to victimize political prisoners, and this was continued until the flood of returned Russian soldiers that had been held as POWs in the German camps.

271 > I find it ironic that Late Stage Capitalism is being run by communists

Why?

Marx argued capitalism contains inherent contradictions that would lead to its downfall. In the last century or so, Marx enthusiasts have been using the phrase to describe all of society's failings and ascribe those failings to the contradictions and faults in the system of capitalism.

As far as I can tell, the phrase has always been used by communists as a shorthand descriptor of the idea that capitalism is bad and it is crumbling.

277 DumDum: "'F---k each and every person who made this system and keeps it upright and acts like they're happy about it, too,' she went on."

Guess what? You could be working at the exact same job (or likely worse) making even less and with nothing on the shelves to buy. Would you prefer that, cause it could be arranged by simply moving to any number of places. If you had learned anything from school and life at all, it's that the system you want is horribly worse and that even the potential of rising doesn't exist.

But you're a Dummy.

I never got robbed at gunpoint, but I've been shot at. One time I was hiking on a trail and some dude across the river on an Indian Rez started taking shots at me. I took cover, waited for him to reload, and ran. No injuries.

286 Worst job I've ever had was a summer job while waiting to go on active duty. My father-in-law got it for me. He didn't like me. It was as a flat roofer. We were putting a new roof on the American Tobacco plant and warehouse in Louisville. It was humongous.

I was the only non felon on the crew. There was a hierarchy in the crew. Pimps were at the bottom, foreman was on parole for manslaughter. I was a collage boy so they saved the worst for me.

We had to take the old roof off first. It consisted of gravel and tar paper with fiberglass insulation. We chopped it up in sections, shoveled it into wheel barrows and threw it into a dump truck. Tar dust burns the skin and fiberglass dust gets in the pores. Bad combination for a shower.

It actually got worse when laying the new roof. Developed a taste for Cold Duck. That was Friday after work happy hour for the crew. Only lasted for four months.

Willowed I'm sure. Always takes me forever to write this stuff.
