Baby Boomer Hate – Overpaid Workers

Opinion, Things That Bother Me No Responses »

Dec 202011

This is a typical day at work for me. Hey can you help me with this? Ok fine I will help you with your very easy task that you think it’s cute that you don’t know after the 5th time I have told you how. Oh don’t forget the fact that you can easily Google the problem and find the correct solution listed multiple places. Why are these people paid 4 times or more than the far more qualified workers that do their work in half the time? Hell I will be more than happy to get paid half as much to do your job. Oh I forgot they they are management so that will never happen. The younger generation is lucky to get a job thanks to these old farts that will never leave because they mismanaged their retirement account despite the fact that they have had record stock growth during most of their life.

The only claim to fame Boomers have is they like to spend a lot and not pay the tab. The massive budget deficient is largely thanks to them partying at our expense. But despite their massive spending what have they achieved? Nothing! I think it is time for your generation to retire.

End of the Shuttle Program – an Allegory of America’s Decline

The end of the shuttle program is a sure sign of America’s decline. The politicians can no longer sugar coat the truth. We have sold out our youth for the short term gain of the few. Instead of investing in good education, science and technology, and a solid infrastructure, we instead invested in military spending, cooperate tax breaks, and overseas spending. I am not saying that the shuttle program shouldn’t be canceled, but I just don’t see a great future for NASA or America right now either. We have become a nation of fat mouth breathers that have lost the ability of original thought and ingenuity. All we care about is the short term bottom line. Our leaders have failed to invest in America and have left us vastly under-prepared. The cancellation of the shuttle program with no replacement in sight is just another indicator of our nation’s shortsightedness. Perhaps we can outsource our space program to the Chinese, to help with the the bottom line, after-all that is what we care about right?

Overall we have no one to blame but ourselves. We live in a open democracy and have had numerous elections to force change, but we just went with the status quo again and again.

Fix Our Tax Code, Keep it Simple, Stupid!

Can we fix our tax code by making a very very simplified version of it? The current system only benefits large corporations that have a large and intelligent force of dedicated tax experts and lobbyist. Years ago I read from one of my accounting books that GE’s tax return is something like over 20,000 pages long, and it requires a huge IRS team completely dedicated to only them. Granted they are the biggest company in the world, but we have some serious problems with our tax code. I don’t blame GE. Sure there are some ethical shortfalls, but it is not GE’s job to be nice and pay more taxes. We need stop voting for idiots that think the current tax system is fine.

This year GE paid no federal taxes. Look GE pays top dollar for their talent. There is no way that the IRS can compete against GE. So what do you do? You Nerf the tax system. You get rid of all of the loopholes and special interest tax breaks. If you keep the system so simple it does not matter how smart GE is because their is nothing to take advantage of. This will benefit small business and hard working Americans by leveling the playing field. You make X amount then you pay Y amount in taxes. Easy Enough?

Case in point. I am going to earn a nice little amount from my side job this year. Because of this I will have to redo my estimated tax worksheet to avoid a tax underpayment penalty. Now do I need to file a schedule SE? I have nothing against paying a fair share of my taxes, but it should just be automated and simple. Lawyers and accountants add nothing of real wealth to this country but we, I mean they, have built a system that requires way too many of them. If you think I am wrong. Answer this one question. Would you pay a lawyer or an accountant if you didn’t need them? No you would not, because in business we call them administrative overhead and you try reduce your overhead as much as possible because you would rather pay someone to create a good or value added service.

Adopting the flat rate on a progressive scale, the government then should eliminate all tax credits, write-offs and other deductions, an action that would enable the IRS to drastically reduce paperwork for taxpayers and for the agency. In one page, a tax filer should be able to provide his total income and the amount of tax owed. Done.

Why is Bristol Palin on Dancing with the Stars? I did not know that spreading your legs for an amateur hockey player made you a star. Hell that would make most Canadian women eligible for the show. Oh she is a teen activist. Activist my ass. That is not what you call the poor teen that got knocked up at your High School. I guess when you have money it is called being a teen activist. The issue I have with this is that stupid teens will want to get knocked up too. They will be like oh Bristol got pregnant and she got famous so why can’t I. Wrong, your prego ass will be lucky to get your GED and live in a double wide trailer.

Fat Americans Should Not Get Handicap Spots

Double Wide Love on Aisle 2

I love how we give fatties a handicap tag, when instead we should be giving them a fat tag. Why should they get a spot right next to the store when they should park at the furthest away spot.

I don’t understand how people can let themselves get that huge and not think “Hey, maybe I should take this IV full of bacon out of my arm ,or what should look like an arm, and go walk a few laps around the block!” Maybe you should not buy food if you are too fat to walk to that food. We have military veterans with blown off limbs but these land whales take up their parking spots and all of the scooters just because they have lost all self control.

Walmart used to only have a few handicap spots, but now they have a whole handicap parking section. Go to any of the theme parks now and they have scooter rentals for people too fat to actually walk around the parks. Now they can scoot around from donut shops to burger bars to ice cream stores and never have to walk a step and waste calories! The roller coasters now even have their own fat-row with bigger seats/harnesses so the lard mountains can ride them. We are now catering to the lowest common denominator, it is like “no fatty left behind”

Buy Phosphate Dishwasher Detergent – Phosphate Free Dirty Dishes White Film

Click Here to Buy Dishwasher Detergent WITH Phosphate Now!

A ban on phosphates, the hardworking and good main ingredient in most automatic dishwasher detergents, takes effect in 16 states on July 1st, however this ban will become a de facto ban everywhere. Procter & Gamble and other major manufactures have decided to removed all phosphates from all consumer dishwasher detergents. I feel that P&G did this for three reasons, 1 they will look eco friendly to their Al Gore loving, hippie, baby boomer target market. This brings us to 2 and 3, the real reasons why P&G removed phosphates. The cost of phosphates has dramatically increased over the past few years. The other real reason why P&G removed phosphates is to simplify their supply chain. Why have two different detergents when you can just have one and enjoy the cost savings. The ban is just a smoke screen for P&G to save money and to charge you more. However what this mean for you and me is dirty dishes.

Dirty Dishes - Won't Wash Off

I learned this the hard way. A few weeks ago I noticed a white film that would not come off my dishes. I first looked on the internet to see what was going on. I quickly learned that the hippies got phosphate banned because it can cause algal blooms in our waterways. Granted we can filter out most of this phosphate before it gets in our waterways, but this did not stop the hippies from banning it because anything man-made is bad in their book.

At this point I called up P&G and asked them if I can still buy phosphate dishwasher detergent. They started to proudly say that they don’t sell any products with phosphate in it. I quickly interjected, by saying that I am not some eco hippie and I WANT phosphate. The P&G customer support rep was unsure how to answer this request. I think he was told not to answer my question, but he gave me two free coupons for any cascade product so that was cool. Granted I can’t buy anything that will clean my dishes with them at any retail store.

I did find one way around this ban. Because the ban only affects consumer products, you can buy the commercial detergent with the cleaning power of good old phosphate.

Click here to buy phosphate dish detergent wholesale from ReStockit.com.

My dishes are clean again. You can see if your P&G product still has phosphate by going to this site The MSDS Page Search.

Soon we will be told what cars we can buy. Oh I forgot that day is already here.

Please Don’t Bring Kids to Las Vegas

Please don’t bring your kids to Vegas. It is an adult town for adult people. People get drunk, gamble, use bad language, and have sex. The street is covered with hooker ads. Please do everyone a favor and drop the kids off a grandmothers house before you leave. I had to see a trashy couple change their kids diaper right in front of me at a buffet, fuck that shit.

Don’t Feel Like You Have To Get a Rescue Dog

PETA dresses in KKK garb outside Westminster Dog Show

Rescue dogs are great dogs, but don’t feel like you have to get guilt tripped into getting one. There is nothing wrong with spending YOUR money on purebred or on any other kind of dog you want. Just make sure you are buying the pup from a good breeder and you better know how and are able to take care of it.

Unfortunately, people will look down on you for buying a dog. They will tell you hey why did you buy a dog when there are tons of dogs that could use a good home. When did it come my job to bailout bad dog owners. I understand that the dogs are innocent victims here, but I wish that PETA and others would go after these bad owners as much as they try to make me feel guilty. Why must we bailout everyone now days? Banks, now dog owners, who is next? What happened to personal responsibility? I am not advocating that we should never help out people, but enough is enough and it is time for people to be held accountable and not bailed-out.

Cooking for Vegetarians for the Holidays

I hate having vegetarians over for the holidays. You have to make them something special when they come over, but they never cook you anything special when you come over. They think they deserve some special dish that takes you an additional hour to cook that no one else will eat besides that one vegetarian. Why do vegetarians feel that they are entitled to a special meal? A vegetarian would never cook their guess a “special” meat dish despite the fact that everyone there besides themselves eats meat. Then you have to listen to their reason why they don’t eat meat. You heard it all before. It is healthier, greener, and how can anyone harm a cute little animal? I can harm it by turning on the oven to 450 degrees and roasting it to a yummy goodness.
