Uranium firm lobbied Trump administration to scale back Bears Ears National Monument | Droolin Dog dot Net

jamie

I was wondering which resources were hiding under #BearsEars, that #Trump wanted to “free up” for some buddy who wanted to make shit tonnes of cash by ripping apart federal lands.

Now we know: #Uranium

Suppose for a second we think of all the GOOD uses for uranium we can list. Go…

1.

Um. Nuke power? No. Nuke weapons? No. Nuke Powered subs and ships? We’ve got plenty for that. Nuke Powered Android Sex Dolls. Oh Gawd No.

Yeah. See…that’s the real crime here. #Money is the only reason, and #WeThePeople, who own that Federal land, will never see a penny.

Pentagon announces first-ever audit

jamie

I think the important point to think about here is, never…NOT ONCE, in the entire history of the US Military has a financial audit been performed. NEVER.
I’m sure the tales of the $700 toilet seats of yore are soon to be surpassed, and considering that military expenses are the single largest budget item in the bloated US Government budget, this could be a step in the right direction.
But I would seriously hate to give Trump any credit for this…so let’s wait and see how good a job they do finding waste before we toot anyone’s horns. #PentagonAudit

Share of national wealth held by America’s 1% hits 50-year high

“How long will it take
To see this grand mistake
We have less & less to survive
Only The Wealthy enslaving to thrive.”
~jg ’17

It’s #TaxationWithoutRepresentation when only the voices of the wealthy are heard by Congress. Not really any different than when we told the King of England to “Fuck Off”, we need to tell our new corporate overlords and their wealthy controlling board members the same. #FUCKOFF Your business is NOT a big, powerful, rich person with an actual say in our government. That is the right of citizens. Actual human people.

Funny how the wealthy often express contempt for Labor Unions which protect the middle class, meanwhile defending corporate exploitation through government protections…it’s really the same thing, just that the Government is protecting only the RICH, at the expense of 99% of the rest of The People.

Why you can’t always resist running yellow lights

jamie

This seems an overly complicated explanation for a very simple phenomenon.
I run ALL yellow lights because I CAN. Why the fuck should I sit there wasting time and gasoline when I can be moving towards my destination? There’s no decision to be made. GO. Duh.
Because face it…Normally, there’s a line of assholes in front of you, most of whom can’t seem to find the gas pedal or grok the concept that GREEN = GO, meaning you’re just WAITING for the light to turn RED in YOUR face at ANY SECOND.
Hell…I’ll run RED lights at times, right on the ass of the rude fucker in front of me. Learn how to be a considerate driver, or stay at home, asshole.
But I digress… #YellowMeansGO
