It is about time for the stupid little people to buy at the top, hold until it bottoms and then sell. After all, they deserve to lose their money and the wealthy deserve to take it.

Do you know any "stupid little people" with the money to buy stocks?

I sure don't. And trying to get my hands on any amount of cash more than my tight fisted Conservator will allow me to have is like pulling teeth.

She has also bluntly told me she does not intend to review my account until after the new year. What utter nonsense.

I also need to ask what has happened to my Economic Stimulus payment. That was supposed to come directly to me so I could spend it into the economy. But it seems she has diverted it elsewhere. :-/

I guess that would be me. I was hoping to get a little better than the 0.02% the banks are paying. Let's Go Brandon!

Ah, I see you knew my late mother. She rode 2k shares of GM stock right down to the vanishing point against my advice in the 2009 crash.

"I need the dividends!" "As GM goes, so goes the country."

Here we are.

Braggart. Chase only pays me 0.01%. I've got what's called a 'liquid gold' account at a credit union at 0.80%. Cuttin' a fat hog in ass!

Should be no problem with inflation running only 36%+.

WTH? I'm makin' 100% on street juice/wk from the fentanyl dealers now that there's an unlimited supply coming in.

(Edit) Just don't loan 'em anymore money than you can afford to lose. It's like the stock market, except with guys that work. Eh, ya might have to grease a few palms along the way. Cost of doing business.

Same with places like K-Mart. K-Mart closed up a lot of their stores. ;)

I know a guy that is making .308 rifles. I asked him, "Where did you get the money to start that business?"

He said, "Good fellas." He took a loan from the mob. He must have paid them off since he is still healthy and above ground. But I'll bet he was paying 500% juice on the loan. Those guys didn't fool around. If you missed a payment they would send soomeone to break your legs.

The local gun dealer told me, "They are still making them but they are hard to get." Every rifle that comes off that line is sold immediately and they are back ordered.

The same guy sold the "bearded bandit" an Australian Semi-auto pistol (.223 cal) at a gun show. The bandit had tried out for rolling Meadows P.D. but washed out. Then he turned to the dark side. ;)

Sears bought K-Mart like 10 years ago, then ran both businesses into the ground. I hate to admit it, but I buy a lot of shit from Amazon (most recently, drive belt and clutch cable for Toro lawnmower, because I don't want to fuck around at HomeDepot for an hour and get stuck with the wrong part), but I'm pretty sure that if I check the expiry date on milk/bread/peanut butter I am better off going to Meijer or Family Dollar (F/D always has the freshest milk because of adjacent huge Section 8 apartment complex) than Amazon could supply. I rarely shopped at K-Mart, but I used to buy cartons of cigarettes there. Never liked Sears either, there was a Montgomery Wards that had much better merchandise, but they are gone too.

All that is left in the local mall is kiosks selling gold teef, baby clothes, and sneakers.

MonkeyWard is strictly mail order now, last I heard, but I don't even know if that part has survived. Sears should have been able to keep a rump remnant of their empire afloat via Craftsman tools and Kenmore appliances, but I think the last CEO managed to fuck even that up. K-Mart should have copywrighted their historic place in history as the Mexican National Anthem: "Attention K-Mart Shoppers"...

Lowe's owns the Craftsman name now, maybe the same with Kenmore, again, not sure.

You should've seen my recent foray into twitter and facefuck. My mechanical stopwatch only measures down to 0.10 second. I guess they hate truth propaganda.

Your keyboard's acting up a bit now (dissapear). I have to be careful about what I post at ZeroHedge. I'd hate to banned after 10 years or so. My social credit score over there is going up fast now that I'm dwelling there more.

I wouldn't have caught the spelling error without the red squigglys (that won't pass SpelChek, no suggestions). Whatever.

You'll always be my Karen, Bubba. Well, no you won't. The older gal named Karen that had her way with me 40 some years ago will be my Karen.

Sorry, but you come in a distant second. Don't even ask about Kathy. She was twice my age (I was 18). Really screwed up my relationship with her daughter, Kimmy. I've still got SX-70s of that deal, except the naked ones. Damned if I can remember what I did with those.

(Edit) Kathy. Think a half aged Dr. Jill Bidet, but without the leather mini-skirts and fishnet stockings. I'm just rolling with the crazy now. I'm tired of shoveling shit against the tide.

You'd be doing me a great favor if you could get over your disdain for BTP. We're kind of a family here, sure there's going to be disagreements, but calling folks mentally defective or whatever without knowing them personally the way I do is a little out of line. He's not a bad guy, he's just talkin'. From my conversations with him on the phone, I'm pretty sure he's a big guy.

Regardless, if you want to be a hardhead, take it up with me on the backchannels, might as well address it to ping too. He'll hear about it eventually.

Personally, I'd like to see you and B go mano-a-mano, but it's probably best to play nice.

If you don't have it, you don't own it. Therefore, it is her money to spend as she pleases, so it is not your money. You are just hoping she will give you her money but hat is not likely to happen.

She has an obligation to me to pay all my bills and co-pays for specialists. Part of her responsibilities are to see that any payments from the federal government are given to me.

I was getting $195 weekly stipend until retired Conservator took a butcher knife to it cutting it to $100. If I hadn't called her on that she would still be sticking it to me. She raised it to $150 but has cut it to $125. Now I am forced to wait for her to review my account until after the new year. So she sits on her hands while I suffer from lack of funds. I cannot afford fresh beef since it is so costly. I feel for those who receive much less than I do from Social Security. ;)

I told my immediate supervisor at work that when I worked concert security I got to beat the crap out of people all the time. And she slapped me on the hand.

I used to work the old Aragon Ballroom in Chicago. There we so many fights they called it the "brawlroom".

If the show was sold out and we threw out 5 or 6 people before the headline act came on, they would sell 5 or 6 more tickets.

You had to be pretty tough to work the Aragon.

One time I was talking with this chick in the NW suburbs about her moving in with me. Her BF was a hot head. He came charging at me. I tried to walk away but he wouldn't back off. I tried to get him with a back hand. but he ducked and went low on me.

I sat on him and grabbed him by his hair and bashed his face into the pavement a few times. That took the oomph out of him.

He told his neighbor I kicked his ass. His neighbor said, "He didn't kick your ass. He kicks peoples asses for a living." LOL

She has an obligation

An obligation that is not mandatory and backed up with penalties for failure is almost worthless. If she gets to make the decisions, she is going to choose what is best for her. She could care less about what is best for you. If she can postpone payments until you die no doubt whatever remains is hers because likely no one can say or prove otherwise.

I would look for a means to replace her which means she doesn't get paid or at least the threat of it. Better yet abolish her position and authority and take control of your money.

I want you to recall what Lady Justice looks like. She is standing and holding the Scales of Justice and she is wearing a blindfold.

Justice is blind and cannot see. Until papers are filed with the Court the Judge is unaware of a problem. The filing enlightens him, and if there are penalties involved, as in my case, the Judge has the power to levy them. ;)

The best way to get rid of her is for me to get a statement from my Primary Physician which says I am able to handle my own finances. Then Legal Aid will send a lawyer to file against her. This will work no matter who is in office. ;)

When I made flower deliveries as a young man in Chicago in mid to late 70s, the shop would get deliveries for Mayor Daley on south side.

There was an unmarked squad car in the alley. We would put the flowers in the back seat. I guarantee the Mayor never saw the flowers, just the card that was attached. ;)
