Had to post this somewhere today. Not happy about my situation, but like the judging of worth by a piece of paper even less.
Something I need to lay out there folks. I am both long-term unemployed and homeless. Never got unemployment as when I "resigned upon request", never got that in writing, so it was reported I "Quit without notice" which even in a right to work state, denies you unemployment benefits. That was a decision made by some chumps with degrees. So, when folks try saying a degree makes you a better person, well, you can conjure as to why I might disagree with that.
A degree is a piece of paper, issued by others who have them as well, that just says you studied, maybe actually learnt something, and paid for it, or had others pay for it. Under NO circumstance does a degree convey wisdom, mercy, or true intelligence. Don't believe me? Your choice.
Folks who measure worth often equate some piece of paper, be it a deed, degree, or stacks of cash or stocks as worth. The true worth of a person is in the three areas I spoke of. I may not be as wise as Solomon was said to be, may have lapses in my mercy, and not as intelligent as once showed promise to be, but I have a worth.
Do you really have the worth your think you do? Meet the eyes of the person in the mirror when you answer. They might disagree.

You are forsworn if you take the Pledge of Allegiance.
No, I am not joking.
Look, this is part of my trouble with America, and why I have tossed in the towel on the concept of America as a nation, and its society. The hypocrisy is driving me nuts.
You vow, mentioning God, to be One Nation, and have a class society, to strive for Justice for All, while promoting targeting of certain sections of your population and their crimes over the rest.
If America had any sense, you'd all pull your heads out and offer better to your citizens. If I thought I had a chance of leaving and making it in another country, right now, I'd take the ride offered and go.
Let's look at what a FAIR concept of "Justice For All" should look like. Just a moment. That's all. And what I am about to lay out is just the tip of the iceberg your nation (ain't mine anymore, ya'll kicked me to the curb and curse me for being a homeless scum bum) is getting broken up on.
Stop "Selective Enforcement". Either reduce your laws down to a lower number, or better yet, be fair, and go after those white collar jerks who break the same laws as the homeless and poor with the same level of intensity. And enforce the laws that apply to their crimes, instead of acting like those are such rate cases you don't need to.
Step Two, how is "Justice" served by a set dollar fine that hits a poor person harder than a rich one? Make fines a percentage of wealth/income/assets instead, which might make a hell of a lot more sense, and hit keep rich brats from breaking the law as much as they do, once they find out it might actually have hurt mommy and daddy's pockets enough that there will be severe consequences. And don't lie to me about kids not being kids, and rich kids never get in trouble. Hell, they do it constantly, knowing their family will bail them out or better yet buy off the crime from ever showing on their records.
Same goes for companies. Making a fine based on the company, as well as the impact of that crime, might let a small company survive criminal actions by its employees as easily as a big corporation, and make the big boys fear breaking the laws, as they would now face real fines that hit them enough to end certain policies and procedures they never should have done anyway.
Yeah, I've been thinking. Not that America will listen. You all screwed this up, I'm just that little voice out here in the wilderness, pointing it out. You fix it, I'm tired of your crap and cleaning it up.
That is all for this week. I'll be back later in September to razz you idjits some more.

Where to go? Hell for most.
One thing I am learning, since being homeless, is for every hand to help up, at least a dozen feet lash out to kick you back down.
Everyone seems to like having folks worse off than themselves. And they like keeping it that way, lest they become the bottom of the food chain.
Today, I began the full process of removing myself from the job market. Yeah, I've had enough, and got tired of trying. Of having hopes lifted, only to be dashed later when interviews come along, and mostly of not hearing anything on most job apps.
It took two years and then some to break my spirit, but at least now I can focus on writing, and say the hell with wasting time on jobs, being a slave to others for a pittance, and be a slave to myself for the same.
Yeah, unless I turn to piracy..... not that I'm any good with boats, but hey, at least I'd yell ARRR!, unlike most of the bozos ruining the profession these days.
So, if you ask me what I'm doing, I'll probably tell you, mind your own biz, or piss off, or some such. But I am doing things, but for me, not anyone else now.

Okay, we all know I have long felt we need to load some cargo planes up with that best known of all cattle by-products and drop in on Pyongyang. So what I am about to say is no surprise.
North Korea is not a rogue nation... they are wigged out on some psychedelic insane if they don't see the writing on the wall.
They need to look at what is happening in Japan real close, and remember the last time Nipponese troops set foot on their peninsula, cause they are provoking something big. Japan is trying to do a fast track change to their Constitution... to allow the SDF to end being just a defense for them only, but allies too.
Think about it... would you want to go up against Japan's tech wizards.. though it might tell us if Congress here screwed up on bowing out of the FX joint fighter project in favor of the F22/23 competition a decade back.
So, brace for a war, folks. North Korea has Japan irritated enough that right now, according to NHK news in Japan, their Diet (their Congress) is debating this issue.
My main question is what is the Vegas line on how fast they can pull off a "Go" order to delivering their own nukes... days? hours? minutes? My money says about 4 hours, tops.
