Musings:
• Got baby formula, ladies? Sure, you do; it came with the baby, but you forgot you had it. It’s called “breast milk,” and you have a plentiful supply to fulfill the baby’s needs. Few women talk about it anymore, which is unfortunate, because the original product is more nutritious than the manufactured stuff and costs only a few minutes of their time. Sadly, in today’s socioeconomic climate, more women are in the work force just to make ends meet and their employers do not give them the minutes they require to see to their babies’ needs. Ain’t capitalism grand?
• The mouse that roared! Walt Disney World vs. the Great State of Florida.
The governor of Florida is a Trumpster, through and through. Similar to his idol, he suffers from delusions of grandeur. Now he is crossing swords (obtained from the pirates of the Caribbean) with an American icon which made a political statement about LGTBQ rights. The Guv was not amused, and so he proposed to revoke WDW’s special tax status. Golly gee!
This war has no good guys, however. DeSantis is a despicable politician (oops! I’m being repetitive!), similar to his idol. ‘Nuff said.
Walt Disney (the corporation, not the man) has grown too big for its britches in my humble opinion, behaving like all other giant corporations in these United States, making money hand over fist, and selling “entertainment” as a commodity. It now owns Pixar, the Muppets (yikes!), and Star Wars for crying out loud. It owns most of central Florida and runs it like a private fiefdom.
Moreover, it pays its front-line workers the least it can get away with while paying its CEO seven figures. It will not allow its employees to form a union; any employee caught attempting to organize the work-force gets the chop. It can fire workers for any reason – or for no reason at all, because it can.
Walt Disney (the man, not the corporation) has to be spinning in his grave. He did not envision what his company has become when he founded it. He just wanted to entertain people, especially children, not to own the state of Florida. Can you say “anti-trust,” dear reader?
• The “Great Replacement Conspiracy” theory is the new topic of concern in these United States (or is that the Untied States?. It’s the driving force behind most of the mass shootings whereby white nationalists attack non-white people (and blame the Jews for instigating the theory!)
As I understand it, this theory, promulgated principally by Fox “News” anchor, Tucker Carlson, stems from “illegal” immigration and makes three points. Point #1: White people are being replaced by hordes of non-white people. Point #2: These hordes come from Central and South America, Africa, and Asia, thanks to lax immigration laws, and take away white people’s jobs and property. Point #3: The replacements introduce the “Critical Race” theory into public schools, falsely claiming that America has always been racist and that non-white people have been brutally treated by white people.
Well, dear reader, The Chas has his own “Great Replacement Conspiracy” theory. His, however, actually happened.
Beginning in the early 17th Century and continuing for the next three centuries, white people arrived in North America by the thousands and tens of thousands and settled in without any permission from the non-white people who had lived there for thousands of years. The white people propagated prodigiously, stole the non-white people’s lands, and replaced them as the dominant culture. The white people decimated the non-white people, either by gunfire, disease, and/or starvation and relegated them to “reservations.” The white people kidnapped the non-white people’s children and placed them in boarding schools where they were forced to adopt white people’s languages and cultures.
This history is not taught in white people’s schools, but it occurred nevertheless and is just now being discovered. If Tucker Carlson wants to talk about replacement theories, here’s the greatest one of all.
Just a thought.
