  • Over the last 10 years or so, some kinds of convenience foods have gone up a lot. Like some types of

    “value meal” is over $10. That’s a bad scene if you have several people to feed.

    You can beat that by cooking your own, but if you have been working a 12 hour shift that is a harsh scenario.

    It just seems like people, and I’m referring to the U.S., getting food should not be such a press.


  • It’s kind of hard right now, because food prices have gone up so much .

    But you don’t have to poison yourself

    Rice would be a choice, but I got type 2 diabetes a couple years ago after having pneumonia.

    What’s really bad is bread, which is annoying because it is relatively cheap.


  • I also live alone, and my kids are grown up and gone.

    I came to feel that “It’s not worth it to cook for just one person” was a pretty lame excuse to eat frozen food and other garbage.

    I’m trying to cook more stuff I can freeze or at least store for a few days.

    Still pretty lazy though.


  • It was kind of bizarre.

    REACH provided the insurance and the helicopter and then rejected the $143 grand claim.

    The funny thing was, I heard the pilots talking and they had to go to my destination to meet another copter’s pilots anyway.

    I will say it was one hell of a beautiful ride.

    I was in a coma the first time. There was a million acre wildfire up north and they had to commandeer a plane. All the helis were providing support to firefighters on the ground.



  • I have cancer and diabetes, and aside from the premiums insurance costs me a minimum of $4,250 every fucking year, plus stuff they refuse to cover.

    And I found out the hard way that you’re better off dead than getting air medivacced, a delightful experience I’ve had twice.

    The first time I told the ER head to just let me die. The cost of a hundred mile flight was over $80,000.

    The second time, this February was over $143,000, but by then I had gotten air transport insurance. Which of course initially denied the claim.

    In the U.S. you are just meat that is harvested for money.


  • I’m over 60 and not at all represented by these old motherfuckers. It’s partly their age and partly their wealth – they can’t represent people who actually work for a living.

    There are various theories of how age and term limits could limit this.

    Here’s my fantasy, which is just that.

    Set up an AI unit that’s been programmed to a 90 IQ level. If these assholes can’t beat it in chess three times out of five – or checkers for that matter – enjoy the rest of your life on the porch.

    Just a fantasy.
