What I wrote last year<\/a> is more true than ever. It’ll be multiplied if Trump’s emergency tariffs are overturned.<\/p>\n\n\n\nI am disappointed that Sears didn’t win. But she wouldn’t have done anything at all to address the serious fiscal problems that exist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do I expect Rep. CIA to fix Virginia’s broken revenue system?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I do expect there will be more token things passed. (see: ERA ratification, push of capitol punishment to the Federal Government, decriminalized weed, etc.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For me, personally, it actually means almost nothing. My contrarian votes will have exactly the same effect as they have for the past thirty years. Again, I live in a locality that’s been “Blue” since the Yankee aggressors vacated in 1877.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That said, I am going to dispense with the politeness I’d previously used. If you, or the party support, do something disgusting, I’m going to call it exactly what it is….if asked. Others, I will just deprive money as I can to make sure your plans fail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What’s that mean, practically?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’m going to avoid spending money, as much as possible, with businesses in the places that went “full retard” yesterday. Buying local isn’t going to be much of a concern for me going forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
See how this much affects my spending towards the end of the month, but I’m sure I can find things I might want from small businesses outside the Commonwealth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Further, I will do as much shopping as I possibly can elsewhere. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For NYC, I’d stated before the election that I was planning to basically stop spending money with NYC-based entities while he’s there. Sorry NYC retailers. There’ll be no money coming your way. If I change trains, I’m not leaving the station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Deal. This is what you wanted. (And, clearly, you didn’t want my money….so you won’t get it.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Going to be fun towards the end of the month; is there going to be a small business near me that makes it worth my while to give them any money?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We shall see.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
I didn’t have a prompt planned, Burt I think a lot of that was in anticipation of writing about the election results last night. OrangManBad lost. The Democrats passed a bunch of things that may make it possible to Gerrymander further…impeach, then publicly execute him. Whatever.
