In Time of Great Distress
It boggles the mind that I can buy a fully functional kitchen appliance... say a "hand blender" (a horrific moniker if I've ever heard one), for less than $20. The sheer amount of energy that goes into creating such a thing.
Feels like I'm buying it on credit even if I pay cash.
I'm immersed in the errata of industrial life. Basically have to blind myself to it to even get passed the first thirty seconds of my morning. Must step around the 16 ton gorilla to reach the toothbrush.
We are ripe for change. Deep, meaningful, change. The kind that makes electing a president akin to a new haircut.
And... what the hell is a bilge pickle?
