Problems Solved. Available for hire.

I solve problems. I believe have a solution to everything. It’s who I am at the core, I suppose. Please don’t judge me if I try to solve yours.

When I look at the absolute mess in Washington DC, I see problems that need solving. Unfortunately, politicians aren’t very good at solving problems…at least not without creating more problems. Bigger ones usually. Expensive ones, dangerous ones, that cost us all.

“The US Capitol stands for what We The People are willing to sacrifice for the greater good.” ~jg

To me, things seem simple. There are gray areas, but by and large, there are simple, obvious solutions to every problem we face. We know must face them, but thanks to our bullshit pay-to-play political system, we usually choose to wait until it’s a fucking emergency.

Because God forbid we take one unnecessary fucking penny of profits from our corporate overlords. The economy will come crashing down and everyone will lose their jobs, if Amazon stock doesn’t continue to rise.

Well, Bezos can blast himself into space and fucking stay there, as far as I’m concerned. He’s a fucking pirate. No one should make billions of dollars in a pandemic. Even if it’s not TAXABLE income (so it doesn’t really count anyway). Give it BACK!

“Bezos can blast himself into space and fucking stay there, as far as I’m concerned. He’s a fucking pirate.”

I truly believe we can solve all of our problems. But the American people need to become engaged in our government. The People should vote for Solutions, not for people who make those choices for us, based on bribes (that’s what political donations really are) from powerful people and businesses.

We can hold Congress accountable to the vote of the people on those ISSUES. Right now, career politicians only REALLY answer to the fat cats who bankroll their elite lifestyles, and pay for their manipulative political propaganda.

And…Oh yeah. We gotta stop electing lawyers and career politicians. Congress should be people like you and me, who serve a term or two and do the best job they can for ALL of the Country (not just their party). Then they go back to their lives as teachers, truck drivers, and chefs. Lawyers shouldn’t make laws. They can write the laws AFTER regular people tell them what we want the Law to MEAN.

Bottom Line? We’ll solve a fucktonne of problems with TWO easy fixes. Get rid of political contributions, and implement term limits for every elected office. Simple shit, man.

But what do I know. I’m just a guy on a couch. ~jg

Kids in the bar? As long as they aren’t a nightmare.

#IMO I don’t think adults should be barred from most bars due to the presence of their offspring (UNDER SUPERVISION BEHAVING WELL).
Parenting is hard. Mastery of substance abuse is foundational to your success.?

As a caveat, there are some places kids just don’t belong. You know the places I mean. There are also some simple courtesies that must be followed.

Take responsibility. And take your screaming babies outside while I’m eating, or especially if there is live music. It’s just rude. Overall, control your fucking kids. They should behave like human beings, not crazed pack animals…and keep them away from the booze. They are YOUR responsibility, and the bar is within their rights to kick you and your unholy brood to the curb if anyone gets drunk or stupid, so DON’T.

And if you don’t have kids, don’t be a dick to people who bring their beloved block chips to the bar. Treat the little fuckers like they deserve to be there until they don’t. At least treat their parents like the thirsty fools they are, and cut ’em some slack for taking the hard road.

Parenting is hard. Alcohol and herbs make it softer and easier to swallow.

Jamie’s thoughts are his own.

Authors Note: All opinions expressed here are just that: opinions. If you don’t like mine, I probably won’t like yours either. Let’s just nod, and walk away. Maybe come back with solutions instead of opinions. Because of the two, only solutions actually matter.

Growing weed indoors is bad for the climate.

Truth. Help save the planet. Grow weed outside. Grow hemp outside. We must use these crops and all the gifts they provide us, while at the same time pulling tons of CO2 out of the air and turning it into clothing, power, and a dank buzz 4 all!

Growing cannabis outdoors is much better for the planet.

Time to Legalize it NOW. Legal cannabis a huge part of the #GreenNewDeal, both economically and for the health of the planet!

Mandating Indoor #Cannabis Cultivation Is Bad for Environment. https://bit.ly/3cwWfx8

Nothing is OK, Mr. Trump

Seriously. 120,000 Americans are dead. That’s how many the experts predicted would be dead in AUGUST if we did NOTHING at all…but today is only June 23rd!!!

25,000 Americans are being diagnosed with COVID-19 EACH DAY. 40+ Million Americans Are Unemployed. The economy is on the verge of breaking. Completely. We’re supposed to believe that the Stock Market going UP means everything is OK?!!

But it’s NOT OK. Not OK at ALL. Nothing is OK.

Mr. Trump, you are NOT doing a good job at ANY of this, and yet you are acting like the pandemic is over, the economy is great, and you don’t care about anything anymore…except your reelection.

You are censoring and silencing government scientists, denying the extreme health crisis exists, while watching as 1000s of Americans DIE…and for some fucking reason you are CELEBRATING your VICTORY?!?! This is NOT a VICTORY, asshole. You are FAILING HARD and people’s lives are being lost due to your ignorance.

What the ever-loving fuck is WRONG with you?!?!?

Bad presidents. We’ve had some. While both parties are guilty of poor presidents past, #GOP has truly outdone themselves this time, their own leaders even horrified by #Trump unpresidential and unconstitutional behavior. THAT says SHITLOADS in these way partisan times.

I publish lots of links to articles, & I even read SOME of them. It’s usually the headline itself that sets me off on a rant, and I need get shit off my chest…you feel me?
So I don’t care if you read those articles. It’s all about what I’M SAYING. Feel free to agree.

Think about this for a sec…why does @Facebook want to control your feed?
You know they do because they COULD give US control of what we see, let us curate our own feed. That would make #FakeNews OUR fault, not Facebook’s.
But they don’t want THAT.
Why do you suppose not?

Dear #Facebook
Your apps suck. Why do I need 3 Facebook apps anyway? They all suck. Like the #PageManager app where it’s IMPOSSIBLE to edit a scheduled post.

Maybe if you focused on making ONE app that fucking works, you wouldn’t have 3 pieces of shit apps pissing me off

Dear Web designers with your heads up your asses,
When pop-up ads on mobile leave me no obvious choice but to click them, I will leave your site. I won’t come back. I may avoid your site in the future, & stop sharing your content.
It’ll hurt you, AND I won’t buy anything.
