"Happiness is an inside job." I saw that on a school's board-thingy when driving home from work. It made me smile and chill. :)
Work this morning was: urgh.
Bryce was gone on deliveries for at least an hour. But we were also very busy for that hour. Then Brian came in and business stopped for just a few minutes. Well, then it was steady. Then Bryce came back and business went RAAAAAWWRR WESA HUNGRY AND GRUMPY PEOPLE RAAAAWR!
Ugh. Somewhere in the midst of all the frowning people, Default, his girlfriend, and Dalton came in. Lots of noise was in the store for a while. Then around 2pm people left. Things chilled to steady-pace and we all took turns taking customer orders for a few rounds before business could explode again.
During one of the down times, I managed to read a bit of the Bossier newspaper. Well. I read the opinion columns. Something Fleming (our representative) wrote put me in annoyed mode.
Apparently, Congress passed something to give $25 million to help protect an Iberian lynx - which is only found in Spain and Portugal. Okay. I'm all for protecting the wildlife and shiz, but WHAT THE HELL! $25 million to protect an animal that isn't even in our country, while Americans go homeless?
Yeah. That makes a lot of sense. Oh. And not only that, but another $25 million went to some crane - same situation. Oh, and of course Congress is always passing pay-raises for themselves. But that's old news. They're always doing that. Okay. Congress should not be allowed to set their wages. That's just. *palm-face*
Maybe I should move to Austrailia and sit down under and say "WTF mate" while America government destroys the country piece by piece. Oh. What are we gonna spend our money - that we don't have - on next? Some African plant? Some fish that can only be found in the Indian Ocean?
Oh wait. We do have money, right? As long as we have printing machines, we have money. LOLOLOLOLOL I am scared for my future. And I can't help but think of that one song...
Life was filled with guns and war,
And all of us, got trampled on the floor.
I wish we'd all been ready.
Children died. The days grew cold.
A piece of bread, could buy a bag of gold. (this line has been popping into my head more and more recently)
I wish we'd all been ready.
There's no time to change your mind
The Son has come and you've been left behind.
Sigh. People. Stupidity. Will it ever end?
Will these guys see that raising taxes DOESN'T WORK. If my taxes were to be raised, I would get less of a pay check, and would save more money, spend less. Imagine lots of people in the same position. If no one is going to spend, then money is not getting circulated. You can't just grow (print) money and throw into the system - it doesn't work like that. If no one spends money, eventually, businesses go bankrupt, people go jobless, people can't pay anything. And yet we'd still hear: "RAISE TAXES! Tax the wealthy! They have so much money and they're not giving it up!" CONGRESS is the one VOTING FOR THEIR OWN DAMN PAY RAISES - using OUR MONEY! And they say WE'RE greedy?
-It makes one want to cuss and throw a fit; it really does-
Btw, so far our recession is just getting worse and worse. More and more people are joining the list of unemployed. Hey, Mr. Obama, when is your Stimulus package going to show results? Or is it already giving results, just not what you promised?
-grumble grumble-
