More Tragic Idiocy

Leftist fools and the victims they corrupt

This is all about Communism in action:

People who don’t know shit about anything using their positions in government to turn everything to shit for everyone else.

Look at the appended photo of a shopping cart to contextualize my remarks.

Word to Nicole: The reusable produce bags you suggest people use instead of the small produce bags are too large for the purpose you’ve shown here. They’ll just sit on the bottom of the cart with their straps draped over the loops on the child seat; their contents getting mushed by everything else in the cart.

The “hooks” you refer to are there because it’s easier to fabricate that part of the cart using multiple bends of a single wire and spot-welding it into place on a frame than to cut many shorter lengths, position each one, weld each, then grind the ends smooth so some kid in the child seat or an inattentive adult won’t get scratched and attempt to sue the shit out of the store.

Besides, single-use plastic bags are the cheapest, the cleanest, the most resistant to loss of structural integrity from condensation on cold and frozen products, among the strongest, easiest, and safest to use (compare how much more you can carry into the house with them compared to frigging paper bags with those glued-on straps) and, for those who imagine it actually makes any difference, single-use plastic bags have the least negative impact on the “environment.”

See the Danish EPA study comparing all types of bags for grocery use.

And yet we see collections of complete tools* like the City Council of Evanston, Illinois (and many other locations) who mandate only the use of lame-ass paper bags, the greatest number of which one can carry is two, and only partially full because they are too weak for dependable transport otherwise.

Store owners in Evanston are PISSED because it’s hurting their local environment OF CUSTOMERS who can just drive a short distance to the same grocery and drug stores in Skokie and get all the plastic bags they want without even having to pay a “bag fee.”

That’s what I do.**

I told some stores that they should put their heads together, investigate which one or two Karens on the city council were responsible for that, organize a recall vote, primary their asses out of office, and maybe post their pictures and job titles at every checkout lane and on grocery store doors with copy saying “These are the petty tyrants on the city council who are inconveniencing you by making you pay for bags AND making sure you have no choice but the shitty paper ones with paper handles because they care more about their nutty ideas about “the environment” than about the actual lives of those they were elected to serve” or maybe just, “Don’t like these lame-ass paper bags? Here’s who is responsible. Remove these lame-ass bags from the city council.

*You know, those very special harridans, usually only one or two who the others, out of fear (what they call “being tolerant”) just roll over to accommodate, and who probably were the same ones responsible for special parking spaces at the city library for “high mpg cars”—though the breakpoint is not specified (and think of the “resources” wasted designing, manufacturing, and installing those signs, not to mention the money wasted paying them to dream up such lunacy); my argument would be that

A. It’s a violation of equal protection,

B. It’s discriminatory against lower income citizens who can’t afford those vehicles,

C. It’s elitist virtue signaling, the cost of which must be borne by the tax-payers, and

D. When I’m parked there, my van’s mpg is infinite.

** Chicago learned the lesson the hard way when such a woman, named Toni Preckwinkle (honest to God), pushed through a sugary beverages tax, allegedly to “help” battle diabetes suffered by largely overweight, largely black Chicago residents (and who knows, she also could have been behind the city’s bottled water tax that added almost 50% onto cost of a big pack of bottled water from Walgreens); the sugary beverage tax, though, directly funded a gift in the multiple tens of thousands of dollars to a union. But guess what—when people tried to buy sugar-free beverages, they discovered the tax was on EVERYTHING potable, regardless of actual sucrose content, as long as it tasted “sweet.”

The result: the people with wheels went outside the city to buy their beverages and—hey, while they were at it, everything else, too. Stores in the city lost business. The city lost sales tax revenue. And only the poor or too-rich-to-care paid.

I remember seeing her in a local store and telling someone with me, “See that woman? She’s the one who put special taxes on any sweet drink.”

She must have already been sensitized to that because I saw her cringe even though she was a good 20 feet away and I wasn’t at all loud. She probably was sensitive to seeing multiple faces turn in her direction simultaneously and knew exactly why.

Good!

And now Chicago, losing many grocery stores because of excessive taxes and crime, both products of the same lame-ass, spendthrift, Democrat city government, is now planning to make city-funded grocery stores throughout the city.

Communism in action. People who don’t know shit about anything turning everything to shit for everyone else.

Taxpayers will bear the costs. The stores will initially drive other for-profit (meaning 2 cents on the dollar) stores out of the market; even more people will flee the city; then mismanagement, corruption, and filth will tank the city-owned stores just like everything else controlled by the socialist Democrat cabal (by the way, of all big city Democrat political machines originating in the 1800s, Chicago’s is the only one left operating in unbroken succession); in response to the problems they themselves create, they will blame Republicans somewhere or other, beg for federal subsidies (meaning money from those who tried to escape by moving out of state); they’ll try to raise either prices or taxes or both to offset losses, and will only end up kicking the disintegration of the city into even higher gear.

Chicago was recently touting itself as “voted best big city in the US.”

What that really means is “the Democrat Portrait of Dorian Gray city that’s not yet fully begun to manifest the Democrat corruption visible everywhere else.”

Just like Chicago’s loss of millions of residents since its glory days of being America’s Second City, just like the loss of major companies and residents over the past twenty years running from Illinois, just like the more than 4,000 small businesses lost in Chicago due to the insane handling of the insane Covid Inc scam by the Beetlejuice-lookalike mayor Lori Lightfoot replaced by an even more wacko leftist teachers union mayor, it’s only a matter of time until Chicago joins the ranks of the other Democrat, crime-ridden, needle-strewn, shit-holes like New York, Detroit, Dearbornistan, Minneapolis/St. Paul, Seattle, San Francisco, and Los Angeles.

Why is this happening? It’s the political equivalent of syphilis. Its major initial outbreak was near the end of the 1800s and then it went underground to disseminate widely, reappeared briefly in the 1960s. Now we are seeing the deadly tertiary form, many spirochetes busting out everywhere, destroying even the appearance of reason, and creating insane chaos.

And you haven’t seen anything yet.

In their desperate attempt to hold on to power and to prevent their curtailment by or elimination from the body politic they have so grievously damaged for so long, you can expect them

1. to erupt in an orgy of insane rhetoric (such as what we’ve witnessed over the past 8 years),

2. to instigate deliberate activity aimed

   A. to terrorize the masses into submission (such as what we saw throughout the summer of 2020) and

   B. to overthrow state election law (as practiced by Marc Elias and his group of hundreds of lawyers flooding swing states, threatening to sue unless state officials other than the legislatures arbitrarily change voting procedures in a way that aids Democrats and harms anyone opposing Democrats),

3. to engage in blatant political oppression (such as what we’ve seen in their Jan 6th scam and persecution by lawfare), and

4. to inflict senseless destruction unlike anything since the Trail of Tears and the Civil War (as seen through their creation and use of the Covid scam to lock down hundreds of millions, impoverish, destroy businesses, oppress, dispirit, and control people for partisan political purposes).

When violent criminals or the insane or the violent criminally insane are cornered and believe there may soon be no way out, the least likely thing they’ll do is to surrender as long as they think they have a chance of escaping. And the closer they get to what they perceive as no way out, the wackier and more insanely violent their ploys will become.

And don’t think that when they finally believe there is no way out they will give up. That’s the time they do things like driving their carful of toddlers into the lake or burning down the house on the sleeping family or what Jim Jones (darling of Democrat politicians) did when he thought the visiting Congressman’s report about Jonestown would shut it all down.

Prepare for a very bumpy four or so months until January 20 even if we succeed in November. And if we don’t and are unable to rectify the fraud, get ready for the end of life as you used to know it between outbreaks 2 and 3.
