Dodge is cancelling the Hemi V8, despite the fact that it is an immensely popular engine. Why? Woke bullshit. Bad decisions like this are why the government shouldn’t bail companies out of financial woes.
There are those who can’t stand that you can get into your privately-owned vehicle at any time of the day or night and drive virtually anywhere you please. These budding authoritarians view that and all other forms of personal freedom as threats to their power.
After reading this, I believe that J6 was a planned event- not by Trump forces, but by Federal intelligence and law enforcement.
Delivery drivers brag that they won’t pick up an order unless it is marked as coming with a large tip.
So consumers respond by promising large tips, but not following through.
Orange County Florida is reporting that COVID is in the sewer. They have been wasting money on analyzing shit for months. I am just wondering what data they are getting that isn’t being obtained by simply looking at the number of positive results from individual testing.
There is a lot of reporting about how the CDC is advising against going on cruises. The reason for this, it is claimed, is putting so many people in such a small area increases the likelihood of infection. I say bullshit. Let the math speak for itself:
Royal Caribbean’s Oasis of the Seas has over 3 million square feet of deck space while carrying 8,300 passengers and crew. That works out to 361 square feet per person.
Disney’s Magic Kingdom is 4.7 million square feet in area, and has a capacity of 90,000 guests. This works out to 52 square feet per person. The CDC doesn’t have a problem with theme parks.
What about aircraft? Passengers on commercial aircraft are crammed in with less than 10 square feet per person. The CDC has little problem with flying.
Theme parks are roughly 7 times more crowded than a cruise ship, and no one has to prove vaccine status or have a negative COVID test in order to enter theme parks. Planes are even worse. The CDC is targeting cruise lines, but not airlines or theme parks. Like everything else COVID related, it isn’t about science or facts, it’s about control and political favors.
Scientists claim that, if cats were human, they would be psychopathic. As evidence, they noted that cats “dominate neighborhood cat(s) (e.g. chases them, picks fights with them),” “is undeterred by punishment i.e. will repeat behaviors he/she is scolded for” and “vocalizes loudly (e.g. meows, yowls) for no apparent reason.”
Of course, cats aren’t human. Cats do what cats do, because those behaviors are what they needed to compete and survive.
We are spending money to pay scientists to tell us that cats are psychopaths, but those same scientists tell us that a man can be a woman by merely declaring himself to be one.
We are truly entering the dark ages.
I have spent the vast majority of my adult life dealing with death. As a result, my sense of humor is darker and more inappropriate than most people’s. If you can’t learn to handle death in an irreverent manner, you won’t last long in emergency medicine. With that being said:
If you are a sports fan, you well know that you never say things like “He only has one batter to strike out to get the no hitter,” or “We are just two minutes from a shutout,” because to challenge the gods is to tempt them. With that being said, here is the cover of People magazine’s next issue:
I found this to be extremely humorous
The State of New York has announced that whites will be placed at the back of the line when it comes to being treated for illness. How much further to the concentration camps?
As New York reports a record number of COVID cases, the NYPD is making small children cry while tossing them from Applebee’s for not being vaccinated, Florida’s Governor DeSantis is being heavily criticized for not being as forward thinking as New York.
Why New York is so forward in its thinking that its own members of Congress are seen sipping drinks in Miami while maskless.
When I did my end of the year post last year, I didn’t think that 2021 would be a good year at all. As it turns out, the year didn’t go as badly as I had feared. The country could be doing worse, and personally, I am in pretty good shape.
I worked a lot of hours this year. My average workweek at the hospital was right at 50 hours a week. I know that some changes are coming, because I can’t keep up this schedule, and I am also convinced that my boss couldn’t lead a platoon of Marines into a whorehouse.
In the meantime, I will continue preparing for the bad times that I think are coming. For today, I will just enjoy the last day of 2021 as I wonder what 2022 will bring.
