Fuck NJ

in #personal6 years ago

Not dead, but not playing, either.  Not even writing.  Funny how life slams you from all angles at one time.  Or at least seems to.  It's this type of post that makes Facebook (i.e. Fedbook, a.k.a. Facebag) intolerable to me.  Who really gives a fuck, right?

Though, it is the constant posting of "happy, happy, happy!" that sickens me the most.  I know people posting all those glowing moments who are actually in the shit.  Don't misunderstand, I have an account that I occasionally post to with a degree of infrequency that must infuriate Zuck-man.  I also post bullshit.  Did you know if you post weird crap they drive weird advertising your way?  I'm talking shit you would never buy.  Corporate fuckheads wasting cash left and right would be fantastic.

Where am I going with this (stream of thought, FYI.  No guarantee it will lead to shit at the end)?  No clue now.  Liquor and drugs (Iggy!) are taking too strong a hold on me now.  Would be surprised if this post made any sense in the end.

I live in the shittiest and most corrupt states in the US: New Jersey.  This place is unbelievable.  Did you know they are looking to implement a $0.05 per bag fee on every plastic bag you carry out from a grocery store?  They say it is to persuade shoppers to start using reusable bags.  But in this state, it is all about the money grab.  Dipshits forgot about those bags in the produce aisle, along with the little bags they leave in the sugar/flour aisle and well as frozen food.  The average family of five stands to have to spend nearly an extra $2.50 per trip just to carry their shit out the door.  What's more is this applies to those who use paper bags as well.

"$2.50, what are you poor?"  Probably the thought a lot of people have.  The poor brainwashed masses in San Francisco would probably lament they already do it and that it's OK.  I look at it this way: we have poor, starving, sick, homeless people living in this state.  They shuffle them around like cattle from own to town in an effort to clean up places.  They leave them to die in the woods of heroin overdoses because they couldn't get the oxycodone they've been hooked on for years anymore.  They take money from Big Pharma (major industry here) and sweep their dirty nonsense under the rug.  They over tax on property, gas, and sales, as well as income and yet, have no money left in their coffers.  Roads are deteriorating and pension funds are dry.  This state will be Detroit in probably less than a decade.  Yet, plastic bag tax?  That's the priority?  The whole lot of these ivory tower cucks can go fuck off as far as I'm concerned.

This is a feudal system.  Or at least, it is starting to look that way.  We work 40 to 60 hours a week to barely cover the expenses of our families, while our employers try and find ways to work us harder for less so they can make even more money (like some kind of mental disorder, like OCD or something the way they chase the buck.  Never enough).  All the while, governors, legislators, congressman and presidents (pick a party, any party, bet it doesn't matter) sit up top and rake in that case through insider trading (not illegal for them), kickbacks and bribes.

Fuck these people.  And you know what, fuck us for ever giving them this power.
