    Had this conversation with my stepmom. She is complaining that peaches cost $1 each. She thinks this is too expensive and that the cost will go down now. I’m quietly kind of amazed that she thinks that she’ll even find a peach that didn’t rot on the ground for less than $10 or whatever they will cost once the labor goes up. I didn’t say anything to her about it because it just doesn’t matter anymore. It is pointless even to converse about any topic. We experience separate realities. She believes happy days are finally here, and I just don’t care if she sees another peach ever again in her lifetime. Whatever happens to the peaches is her fault.

      Isn’t that funny… people who SHOULD be smarter than that… people who don’t stand outside in the rain and drown from staring at the sky… people who can string two fucking sentences together can’t see that any fucking economic policy the new regime is going to implement is going to do anything but send prices through the roof?

      I hope I’m being Mr. Dooms-and-glooms… but fuck all…

      If she watches Faux or listens to hate radio, it’s going to be impossible to talk to them.

      I consider people that let hate radio and Faux take a dump in their brain daily more or less zombies on any politically related topic.
