Fuck You Friday

I heard about a certain Galesburg area plumbing and heating company defectively installing a septic system.  They were able to get it approved by city of G-Burg and they nor the company will help this family.  The kids started to get staph infections by playing outside.  Apparently the yard is soaked with sewer water and were told it would take $25,000 to get it fixed.  Someone made me promise me not to use this company when my cabin in the woods needs service.  I don't know if all this story is true or parts of it, but lets remember that companies in small towns need repeat business.  Our first Fuck You is to the firm that may or may not end in "o", and the second Fuck You today is to G-Burg, both of which are leaving this family out to dry.

  

As long as we are in the G-Burg area, maybe not a full-throated Fuck You, but maybe more of a Screw You to the Central Congregational Church on the square for seeking money from two G-Burg entities and even a GoFundMe page to help with window repairs.  A spokesman for the church said they are not "heavily endowed" but endowed they are.  With the American middle class dwindling it kind of galls me that a church, a tax free entity, has to take from city coffers to help with building maintenance.  Do what everyone else has to do, pay for it yourself.

Fuck You right-wing media.  Yeah, you Tucker, my boy, and all the others who have been creating just enough fear for the vaccines that may reduce the possibility of creating the herd immunity.  No herd immunity, no back to normal.  OK, Johnson & Johnson may have helped this along with the blood clot thing, but some media have fanned the fires for vaccine hesitancy.  States are dropping the mask mandates and guess what will happen now?  These anti-vaxxers are Republicans.  I wonder why?  Stubborn fellows I guess.  

Fuck You Jim Jordan.  This guy attacks Dr. Fauci, attacks Demings, attacks anything that moves.  Fast talking dipshit who teams up with Matt Gaetz to form the Congressional Beavis and Butthead.  I hate Maxine Waters but when she tells him to "shut your mouth" I'm all "you go girl".  This is also the guy who had wrestlers approach him about another coaches sexual abuse but sided with the perv, back in the day.  He doesn't wear a suit coat because he's one cool cat.  No, he's a Trump-loving,  perv-hiding,  gimmick-embracing,  science-hating, national embarrassment.  If you like this guy, then Fuck You, too.

Fuck You, electric vehicles.  Yeah, I know fossil-fuel energy sources is bad for the environment and has a limited future.  But news this week that 2 people died in a Tesla when it crashed and they were cremated by those damaged lithium batteries, has me worried we are going EV too fast.  Most car manufacturers have already announced the year they will go all electric.  And its just around the corner.  What if I go get another new Ranger?  Will I have gas to run it in 25 years?  I have an old car.  Can I still go to car shows in 10 years?  You may be counting on your fingers the math as to my age then and rolling your eyes in mock sympathy.  Yeah, well.  

Fuck the New York Mets.  Gazzillionaire Steve Cohen buys the team over the winter from the coupon-saving Wilpons, then passes on all the big free-agents.  (Never mind we paid 340 million for Lindor, but he's a shortstop and doesn't count in this unreasonable blur.)  Cub lover up North asks me if I wanna bet a beer a game and series winner this week between the Cubs-Mets, and I say yes.  Then we lose the first game and then pull a Bad News Bears on the second with a loss of something like 114-4 or something like that.  Fuck me from making wagers on a fucking team that will always break my heart.

Fuck anyone who doesn't like immigration.  Ronald Reagan said they are the backbone of our country in his farewell address.  They bring workers, tax payers, brains, culture and in all but the rarest case, honor and integrity.

Fuck You Facebook.  In all ways possible.  Do some due diligence on this platform and you, too, will realize it is far more harmful to the American consciousness than good.  But, like Brokeback, we just can't quit 'ya.

Pre-form packaging.  I got something from Lowe's last week.  I had a hell of a time getting it open.  It took scissors, ripping, getting a cut with blood, until I reached success.  And how about that foil seal on the rare Southern Butter Pecan coffee creamer?  If I didn't have teeth I'd have to use pliers.
