Rant Mode On

IMG_6981.jpg

Way, way back when I was young (the 70s) on Sunday night there was never a question what our TV would be tuned in to. I had to be CBS and the show had to be 60 Minutes. I can remember the ticking of the stop watch like it was yesterday!

Ok it was a long time ago, but not this long ago LOL

I was too young to much care about what was in the news, but I certainly remember how it ended with an ornery old dude that would have a minute or three of free reign to rant about something that had set him off... I feel like I am becoming that old dude!

Some days, (way too often actually) I feel like I have awoke in a different nation. I dearly love our country, but in many ways she sure aint what she used to be! Mind you, I am not saying I have all the answers (or maybe I do) but at least let me tear through a few grievances I have of late in no particular order:

  • You cannot buy a graphics card. You just cant do it. I even did a rant on it a while back...still nothing has changed!

  • You cannot hardly buy a car coz of the semiconductor scarcity.

  • You cannot build a home or anything because there is a lumber shortage!

  • You cant buy gas, at least half the country couldnt during the Colonial Pipeline hack!

  • You may not be able to buy meat if the meatpacking hack isnt resolved.

  • Now they have hacked the ferry service in Massachusetts now.

  • Apparently The US government is totally powerless to stop the hacking.

  • I cannot find a 10x30 storage room within an hour of my property.

  • I cannot find a place to rent within 45 minutes of my property...all booked.

  • I bought 2 bowls made in the USA and one has a flaw :(
