What?!?! A predatory-capitalist company who’s business is built on breaking local taxi laws isn’t doing what they promised? See the previous article about lying down with dogs: Uber driver: Company isn’t paying the full 80% of a fare that I’m owed.

Your Weekend of Weekends.

UnkaWillbur - May 26, 2017

Here' some links to nosh on, to start of your weekend. I hope everyone's weekend is great; me, myself, I'm planning on jumping out of a perfectly…

  TBH. Parenting is a benign dictatorship. Just saying that to any sonic youth out there. *waves to Unkawillbur*

The best response to Dean’s teaser about DNC endorsement. Sarcasm! Easy money is on Perez. https://twitter.com/botanicalowl/status/834261344488652800

I see why Unka likes the ABL blog. For writing like this (from a different article)…

“But enough about the future! Today we grieve in solidarity with the victims of Sweden while the official organs of American government ask that we kindly get over our hangups and just accept the simulation they prefer. It’s how we do things around here now.”

I like it.

Damn it don’t you hate it when you get the wrong thread?! **stink eye on Unka**

My life is back to chaotic now that I can do things! I been so busy.
Went to the Sam’s Club picked up MUCH needed supplies that had run out.
Went to doctor appointment for pancreas and found out it’s not quite as
bad as my Dr. thought it was (Awesome good news!) He figured I had
pancreatitis divisivism. (divided pancreas) and it’s not, the dye he
used shows a very narrow passage way in the shape of an S, and it’s
narrow enough it was completely blocked from draining. So what he wants
to do instead of full out surgery, he wants to put an other stent in the
S area and it should keep me good!! O.O

4 to 6 weeks from now he
wants to do that procedure! In the meantime I have to take Creon which
is suppose to help me with digestion. BUT I can’t take pills and I had
asked if I can crush or break open this capsule. He said I could but the
box says NO, so I have to call the pharmacy and ask them if it will be
painful or bad to do the crushing….

Then I have been summoned to
the Social Security office to account for my mismanagement of my
nephew’s account b/c I have been Out of Commission. I am hoping they
have an understanding policy. I don’t want to get into trouble, but I
haven’t had time to do his SS Payee Report. 🙁 Now I have to be
accountable. I am taking my medical files with me to show them I have
been OOC, and my daughter is going with me so I can prove she has been
helping me. God, what penalties can come from this? Any one? **very
uncomfortable now**

And on that note, MORNING everyone.. LOL Yes I know it’s 1pm. Shutup.. lol
- Unkawillbur
  
  LOL. Same reply as the other thread goes here!
  
  Love to hear that you’re doing well and that they’ve got a bead on what’s been wrong!
  - Shohanna
    
    Did you get the whole story? I am just fucking glad I may not need surgery! 😀 That is music to my ears! haha
    - Unkawillbur
      
      Yeah, I’d be overjoyed at the idea of no-surgery too! Not a fan of hospitals these days; the corporatization of medical services the last 30+ years has driven the levels of care to almost nothing. Might as well be a Henry Ford assembly line, for all the concern and personal care you get.
      - Shohanna
        
        You aren’t wrong. I had to go to 4 different hospitals until I found one that actually knew what was fucking wrong. It was horrible. But once I found them, I am sticking with them for my treatment. They have been awesome!

        A hospital is no place for a sick person. Or a healthy one!

“Is the Democratic party with the resistance? This weekend might tell”

At this point why should I care who gets the DNC chair any more than I care who is the RNC chair? Neither are my party.

The official DoD definition of ratline is: “An organised effort to move

.It’s Perfectly Fine If Rich Benefit From Universal Social Programs

If you support single payer health care, you support everyone from the poor to the super rich getting access to the same benefit. That should never be seen as a bug in any policy, that is a feature.

- Unkawillbur
  
  Yeah, I always though Clinton’s arguments in that direction, concerning education were hokum and more than a little evil.
  - FaunaAndFlora
    
    Same here. Also the people who argued against free college education on the grounds that it might benefit wealthy people.

      “Also the people who argued against free college education on the grounds that it might benefit wealthy people.”
      
      Yeah? Well see how you’ll like when the wealthy start forgoing Harvard or Yale for a free education at places like Bridgewater State University!

Why Russophobia in the US Will Have Limited Shelf Life

The first month of the Donald Trump presidency in the United States has been truly exceptional. A combination of circumstances created headwinds for the new president, unprecedented in recent American political history. At the epicentre lies the question of the US’ Russia policies, but on deeper reflection, it is the Trump presidency that is under attack.

  Russia this , Russia that , the media is going hog wild , yet there isn’t a shred of evidence to support their claims . It’s just bizarre . The boys over at the Kremlin gotta be asking themselves … WTF ?

” Uber driver: Company isn’t paying the full 80% of a fare that I’m owed.”

I wonder if Uber is giving this guy they use to tug on heartstrings the whole 80%. I am not religious, but this comes to mind.

  Yeah, this guy may be real but I am getting sick of having my concern for others used to manipulate me by creepy corporations. Corporations never do anything for the good of others. Nothing.

    The fuckers get sued for fucking over people so it is time for a PR campaign.

  UBlock (the adblocker) will take care of those pesky YouTube ads for you. Unless you’re on a smartphone, then, well, you’ve tacitly agreed to let random businesses know everything about you. 🙁
  
  And they are, indeed disgusting little criminal pricks, elevated to capitalist icons, because of their brazen criminality.

Fleas. This is it in a nutshell:
“This is what the US foreign policy establishment and, by inclusion, the Times are trying to avoid at all cost. The economic integration of Asia and Europe must be blocked to preserve Washington’s hegemonic grip on world power. That’s the whole deal in a nutshell.”
