[Saigon, 6/3/24]
In a 11/4/24 email from Tacoma, Eric told me:
A few days ago, there was a 60-car wreck on I-5! I told a coworker that they drive like the bumper car rink of my childhood in my aunt's country town. These are not ACCIDENTS! Mass reckless driving anticipates pile ups!
[…]
The economy is slipping here too. I think that is why people are driving recklessly. Many, many people are working but falling behind in bills. So, they are angry. The state is full of newcomers.
Everyday several time during the day I get tailgated by a driver who acts like they want to run me off the road. Same happens to my wife. Every single day. Our white neighbors say the same happens to them.
I appreciate these reports. On a lighter note, I bitched to Eric about the Seahawks’ crappy play. (Tacoma was my first American home.) If not for climate engineered disasters, tent cities sprouting and spreading everywhere, toddlers already deranged by cellphones, youths attacking unsuspecting strangers, pranksters and streamers becoming ever more savage for clicks and likes, millions already dead from Jewjabs with no one prosecuted, Jews butchering innocents daily on American tax money, Jews threatening Samson Option and World War III too likely, we can all fuss over, say, why an aging quarterback can no longer hit a wide open receiver.
According to Restaurant Business, a trade magazine, 48% of small businesses couldn’t make rent for September of 2024. That’s horrific. Faring slightly better, 43% of independent restaurants failed to do so. Trump selected will not fix this.
Demanding higher wages, American workers can’t compete against Chinese, Vietnamese or Malaysians, etc., so jobs offshored by Clinton and others aren’t coming back. Plus, the US has been broke for decades. It’s a dine and dash society. Slobbering, retching and scale breaking Uncle Sam must leave the all-you-can-gorge buffet at some point. His last option is to flash his nuclear tipped junk while barfing, “I ain’t paying.”
