  • THE FEDERAL GOV'T GETS AWAY WITH IT

    "I paid overdue utility bills and insurance for my car that I can't even afford to put gas in. Nevermind that I don't have health insurance and my teeth are rotting out. Thanks to Federal Reserve Bank! People, the federal economy is a joke. The real stimulus will come when people decentralize the cities and relocalize economic activity. BUY LOCAL EVERYTHING!"

  • Accessories for Viola

    "Well, technically I haven't gotten my stimulus check yet...because I just moved. Someday I'll actually find them. I'm pretty sure IRS owes me (I only made $16K last year, I claim 0, I'm a student, and I own a house on which I pay LOTS of interest) so I'm not worried. When I do get the check, however, I will be buying LOJACK for my bike. Or a throttle-assist mechanism for those long cruises on the interstate (@ 50+ miles to the gallon! W00T!). Or maybe both (though just the LOJACK is WAY over $600). Either way, Viola (my bike's name) needs some accessories to protect her, and my throttle hand, from damage."
