Happy Wednesday,
April is in the review mirror and May is around the bend. The buds are on the trees and some of the
annuals have already bloomed. The weather has been nice, cool enough for no mosquitos but nice
enough to be outside until the street lights come on.
Part of the daily job at the salt-mine is working on quotes and interviewing sub-contractors for
projects we are working on. It's amazing how a good percentage of them are of similar mind-set
of "us" here on this page.
Once we discuss the project scope or lead time and availability of hardware / electronics
the conversation usually will include comments like:
"What the hell is going on in the world?"
" We can't get help"
"No one wants to work"
"The chips for the boards aren't do in for 6 months"
"My supplier can't get stock"
"I've downsize my business"
"I can't believe the prices of houses"
etc....
I'm sure many of you probably hear a lot of the same thing.
We got a quote for a customer's upgraded generator, 48 weeks, "if you're lucky".
VFD drives, motors, valves, all of it long lead times.
Then you have the corporations that are buying up other smaller corporations and fucking them up.
A couple examples:
One manufacturer, been around for 100 years, moved out of their Shitcago plant after buying another
competitor's plant on the east coast. All the years of experience were left in Shitcago. The new plant
is having all kinds of issues due to lack of experience. Duh, no shit MF's.
I talked to someone with 25 years experience working in a company that got taken ove
by a large holding company. They are now having to train a diversity hire
that makes a lot more money with no experience.
You get the drift.
I have no idea whats coming or what the NWO has planned but I sure as shit know they ain't going
away because musk bought twitter or trump has truth social and some rallies.
I seem to remember, trust the plan, things are in place, blah blah blah.
They, not the current admin, but those behind the scene, are not stupid.
They know time is running out.
They have too much invested to this point, years and years and probably trillions of dollars.
They need to keep those that are aware , placated and docile.
Throw a bone to conservatives, let them think it's gonna be "this time".
Drag out investigations.
"They" will be prosecuted soon.
Arrests coming....
aaaaaaand..... nothing happens.
Like the pig trap, the last gate is being prepared.
I'm glad I've been busy.
It's nice only worrying about shit once in a while when I decide to take a look.
Be safe out there.
And they have the attitude of a spoiled nasty kid that loves to break and burn toys because THEY CAN.
ReplyDeleteKeep your eye on the ball friend. Family first. God Always. 1st Timothy 5: 7Give these instructions to the believers, so that they will be above reproach. 8 If anyone does not provide for his own, and especially his own household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
2nd Thessalonians 3: …9Not that we lack this right, but we wanted to offer ourselves as an example for you to imitate. 10For even while we were with you, we gave you this command: “If anyone is unwilling to work, he shall not eat.” 11Yet we hear that some of you are leading undisciplined lives and accomplishing nothing but being busybodies.…
I am reminded that foolish and lazy suffer in proverbs but The Man of Integrity Proverbs 19
…16He who keeps a commandment preserves his soul, but he who is careless in his ways will die. 17Kindness to the poor is a loan to the LORD, and He will repay the lender. 18Discipline your son, for in that there is hope; do not be party to his death.…
The few that are willing to work I will try to help. The foolish and violent not so much.
In a year or so we will be calling today The GOOD OLD DAYS.
Praying for wisdom
the way I see it is we just marching time until the shooting starts. long ago, I gave up on anything on the "news".
ReplyDeleteway back in the early 1970's after I came home, I knew they where lying. nothing I seen since has changed my view on it.
I find my blood pressure is a lot better when I sit on the porch with the dog and drink a beer or coffee with some Irish in it
watching the sun set than thinking about the stupid shit going on today.
nothing is going to happen to the pricks that earned it so bad. either the magic D besides their name or some cash will change hands and again, NOTHING WILL HAPPEN.
take care of you and yours as no one else will.
Some articles on the Taki Mag are very similar to your tone. Very good insights into the "strategy" of the elites. Their consensus is that the elites are constantly fiddling with "the world". I wonder if maybe they only have to push one event and then they just sit back and watch.
ReplyDeleteThe spinning plates rpm's are declining no way but through. Praise the Lord and pass the ammo. Heard a lot of stories of which you speak, believe it's the same all over the world but especially in the the good ole USA, still the greatest country ever.
ReplyDeleteps That was me new system, forgetful older person
ReplyDeleteAs far as the business comments go, it's all the above. I'm trying to upgrade production lines that have been neglected for 30 years, near impossible to do so with supplier issues. So I kick the can and hope that we're not in busy season when it fails or that the overhaul parts come in.
ReplyDeleteCustomers needing stuff refurbished or replaced, been slammed all year, don't see an end in sight. We are hand to mouth on production, desperately need to restock, but can't. Even if we put a stock item in process, we end up selling it before it's done. Customers complaining prices went up, can't help it when inputs are soaring, too small a company to eat it.
but, but, aren't all the bad people going to be "held accountable"? That's what hillary used to say all the time.
ReplyDeleteI remember reading somewhere about the sense people had just before WWI: they knew something big, and ugly, was on the horizon, but didn't know where or what would happen. Guess we're all getting to "enjoy" that feeling now too...sucks. Here's hoping that we're all going to make it...

Really really can't decide if I need to ignore all of this and go on with life, or whether these are indeed the warning signs that the end of liberty is near and the best investment is more weapons and ammo.
ReplyDeleteThis is (*all*) "Measure the shadow". So you don't have to look at the thing.
ReplyDelete(Let alone [*shudder*], get up, and *measure* the thing.)
If that's good enough for you, that's good enough for you. If working with people that's good enough for, is good enough for you, then that's good enough for you.
Same as it ever was.
Right on.
