Recently I started posting my blog in a Facebook page I
created, and the results are in: few people are reading. I’m not going back to
regular FB, I’m going to ask for your help, though. If you happen to read this,
or any of my other posts from now on, please take the time to like or share it,
helping me spread it around. I saw I had 22 page-views from Russia yesterday,
which means somebody—hopefully Putin—read 22 of my posts. That was exciting.
I’m off today. I only work two more days and then I am off
for roughly a week, which will be nice, but will still have to be filled in
with spotty work at the laminating factory. I wish I could just take
unemployment, for which I am eligible when there’s no work, but technically I
have to be available to go in, even if it is to stand around and do grunt work.
The worst part about the factory is just that: it’s a factory. It’s loud,
smelly, and there are no windows. One of the bosses is pretty fun to talk with,
the other is pretty widely known as a massive douchebag, avid Trump-supporter,
and prime example of what is truly wrong with America.
I watched Michael Moore’s most recent film, Where to Invade Next? If you’re a
republican, 1%er, or otherwise privileged and white, you’ll probably hate it,
even though the message is powerful, and shines a light on what this country
used to stand for. It’s on Amazon Prime, and I give it all five Vince-Stars,
which is a complicated, star-based rating system that I just now created. By
contrast, I give my blog only 4.2 stars, so I have some work to do.
The film follows a much-fatter-than-last time Michael Moore
to several countries around the world where he interviews citizens, corporate
C.E.O.s, employees of famous companies, and teachers on a wide variety of
subjects including vacation time, public schools, free college, food, union
labor, standard workweek, and so much more. The interviews are shocking, and
Moore’s goal is to take these aspects from around the world, and claim the
ideas for America, to really make it great again. I really liked it, and I hope
you watch it.
And speaking of your filth
bag president, what the fuck is going on in the white House? How has this man
still in office? From barring the media from a briefing, to fucking with gender
equality, to spending our money on golf trips, all just in this week, something
has to stop him from making this country uninhabitable. I can’t comprehend how
anybody could protect his views, thoughts, or ideas on how to “fix” our
country. I’m just at a loss. You just can’t throw the rights of the people out
the window, and deport anybody with dark skin and hope all your troubles go
away. If you voted for him, you’re okay with racism, sexism, and greed. Just
know that.
Ugh. It’s hard not to think about the damage he’s causing,
and the danger he represents. It’s even harder to know that somehow people
still support him. You can’t change their
minds, just like you can’t change ours. That’s tough to accept, but it’s the
truth, and it’s only causing stress and discord in our society, which is
clearly separating our country, making it divided again. Maybe that’s what he
wants: divide, segregate, eliminate. If you think that’s far-fetched, I have
some references I can show you later about a certain type of people that were
eliminated as a result of a dictator.
Well, that’s enough of that! I really hate politics, but I
love the idea of the melting-pot of our country, the foundation of the
free-world, more than I hate Trump, so I have to write about it instead of
recovery every now and then. And that’s
it for now.
