Please don’t state my name Hey Rod, I’m sure this topic has been beaten to death, but I just had to finally weigh in. I’ve written emails before and then deleted it because I felt like it was too wordy and didn’t want to get roasted for how long they are hahah I’m sure you will now hahah. anyways I’m listening to your most recent feedback show where you’re talking about the Blake lively situation. So when all of this started, the whole thing seemed weird. Where you would see all types of people even now if you read the comment section, you’re going to see the exact same comments where people will say that they’ve never liked her how she’s rude to the press. And I remember thinking I’ve never heard these types of accusations regarding her before the only things I’ve ever heard is how beautiful she is and her great fashion sense. Even when people were attacking her for promoting her hair care line and they were like oh this is such a serious movie. How dare she? She’s not taking this Subject matter seriously and I thought once yes this is a serious subject matter, but she supposed to be showing up in black and mourning and sad? like yes promote because for the most part as far as I know, she has semi retired from acting to raise her family so who knows what her Future would hold.
I thought it was weird then just seeing so many people really just come out of the woodwork hating her. It seemed like I would occasionally see others tearing down on Ryan Reynolds and how he was never funny. It was very weird to me so understanding that he hired a PR firm makes sense because like I said every single one of these comments all have the exact same excuse of oh she’s rude to journalist which I’ve never heard before, but I’ve never heard anyone care about that as to why they hate a celebrity. Made me think about the voter bots. The whole thing was really weird so similar to the Amber thing. I definitely do think it was to tear down her character in public to be on the offense so that if she came out about anything then people would already kind of be like oh isnt she kind of already problematic because you’ve already had the smear campaign regarding her Beforehand before she could come out with any accusations.
I haven’t finished the feedback show so I’m not sure if you’re going to discuss which I don’t think you are but anyways just wanted to get your thoughts regarding this new executive order with the return to office. It is causing mass confusion and chaos which I know is the reason. reading from others is exactly kind of what you’ve stated of the Republican playbook of Dismantle a government agency so that it is as inefficient as possible then point at their inefficiency and say see this is why we need to cut cost because they’re inefficient. I don’t understand why so many veterans are Republican and pro “orange one” especially when he is very publicly anti-veteran. I know many, who are also federal workers who do work remotely who will be substantially affected. I know one who is going to take an early retirement which they are now apparently offering for those who do not want to come back into the office. The point is to make things as uncomfortable as possible, get as many people to quit while also implementing a hiring freeze and cause it to dismantle. Not sure if you’ve heard what he’s doing to the IRS, which seemed very personal then I remembered his whole tax debacle. But to take your personal grievance and dismantle a whole agency? The republican public thinks “yes!! Clean house!! Wasteful government!” While praising him, who is literally working with his friends to privatize the government so his fellow businessmen can get the contracts and charge double ?! They want to get rid of regulation so they can siphon as much money as possible all while with the blessing of the people who will inevitably have to pay for this. It’s like watching a horror movie and is insane. The amount of unprofessionalism and even gramatically incorrect with spelling errors we have received as “official guidance” is insane to the point there are whole meetings wondering if the emails are spam. This whole thing is Complete chaos and it’s only been a week. I am not looking forward to day by day week by week, the amount of chaos that we have to look forward to…
The only thing I’ve seen locked up at my local stores is baby formula but when I’ve gone into the city I see the most ridiculous things locked up like toothpaste and personal hygiene needs. If people need to steal that stuff, then go ahead and let them have it because some people are funky, why subject the rest of us to the stank? It’s a tax write off for the company.
Last time I was in the US I needed a razor and some other things. I went to Walgreens or CVS, don’t remember. I got some sweets to bring back to Japan and some other stuff, then went to grab the razor… it was locked up. I put everything back and walked out of the store. I would rather get things at a store that doesn’t do stupid shit.
I was never on my space, because when it was popular, I thought, this stuff is dumb and has no future.
( I meant social media in general)
Follow me for other great predictions. Maybe just on the street. Because social media is obviously over as per my prediction.
“We will be upping the drinking this year because we’re going through a lot of shit” bitch me too!
