Thanksgiving at the Defense Contractors
It was eleven years ago when the retired generals officially took over the place I had been working. They announced that the regular Thanksgiving dinner celebration would not be like it always had been. Formerly, it was a pretty chill event with everyone bringing in food and setting up their contributions next to the break room. You could wander freely back and forth to the big conference room, sit at the conference room table, eat...

The US public will not and cannot know exactly where last year’s deceased are from because, shockingly,...

Today I was thinking about how over 50% of the people in America now get some kind of government check every month. Sure, people can justify that they deserve the money, sure. But at some point, the checks will have to stop. And what will happen then? The United States is BANKRUPT. I know it’s hard to fathom, but it true. Seriously we are not even running on fumes. We have been this way for a while. The US’s own financial...
