I covered some of this already in this post. But the links just keep coming. So let me remind you, dear worst-reader, a bit of what I wrote about before. One of the last corporate job interviews of my life was with Amazon in Germany. Talk about going out with a bang. It was the worst, most insulting job … Continue reading Law Suits The New Unions?

It's Like The Moon Disappearing. If The Middle Class Joins It, Will You Miss It?
Not sure why I care about this. But I do. Having said that... Having grown up in the suburban hell of lower middle class #americant and now hearing academics describe (that) hell's demise, I sit back with a dopey grin on my face and sing the lost torrent song that was once an anthem, an … Continue reading It's Like The Moon Disappearing. If The Middle Class Joins It, Will You Miss It?
Tech Doesn't Progress Because
Great article below. Love it when tech writers nail it. Also love it when they don't. That said, it's good thing I'm not a tech writer. Or does the tech world need worst-writer? Nomatter. Here's the one thing to keep in mind when considering whether or not business can progress. It can't. If it progressed … Continue reading Tech Doesn't Progress Because
Forget Sheople. You're Really Cattle.
It's that time of year again, dear worst-reader. Travel time. Destination: India. Egypt. Ocean City, MD. All before xmas. Which reminds me of that movie Network when the guy says "We're as mad as hell and we're not going to take it anymore"? Boy was he wrong! No one is mad and everyone is gonna take … Continue reading Forget Sheople. You're Really Cattle.
Jimmy Carter: A Five-Nation Plan to End the Syrian Crisis – The New York Times
While worstwriter tries to figure out the meaning of birds tangled up in whatnot, our 39th president has a few things to say. Even though I'm not quite sure what he's saying, it's pretty amazing that he's still on top of things. Go Jimmy! Rant on. -t "Bashar and his father, Hafez, had a policy … Continue reading Jimmy Carter: A Five-Nation Plan to End the Syrian Crisis – The New York Times
What Things Are Really About
https://youtu.be/jqKEJTFYgEE?t=1h59m18s Failure. That's what things are really about. Or maybe not. §Gotta throw this out there in the digital ether. Something strange happened the other day. It hit me hard, dear worst-reader. Yeah. Something strange and hard hit me the other day while I was watching TWIT #532. I mean, I listen to podcasts daily. Most … Continue reading What Things Are Really About
Oh No. #Yahoo Sucks.
First. Full disclosure. I really dig Yahoo. And I don't mean no disrespect with this worst-post. With that in mind. I've been using Yahoo email ever since I lost my password for CompuServe back in the early 1990s. Which brings me to the following question: how can something that was once so good get so screwed … Continue reading Oh No. #Yahoo Sucks.
The Working Poor Shall Inherit The Earth
Get a load of some of these stats, dear worst-reader. There are times when even I, the grand stat-viewer, milk some tears when I read such things. And as we know, my tears are not like those of mermaids. Indeed. There will be no cure for these ails. So let's just run down to reality … Continue reading The Working Poor Shall Inherit The Earth
What Lies Under Your Doms
"We do not have to visit a madhouse to find disordered minds; our planet is the mental institution of the universe." (-not sure but I think this is from Goethe) What will they say in the comings days, dear worst-reader? Not sure. Or am I sure? As usual, there will be comparisons to various … Continue reading What Lies Under Your Doms
Now That's A Protest
The inevitable is at your front door. Perhaps not unlike the grim reaper. Remember the reaper? He came along just after you had the canned salmon. Nomatter. As I've stated here & there, TTP and TTIP are inevitable. Obviously protests like the one in Berlin will have some sort of effect on it but I don't think … Continue reading Now That's A Protest
Digging The Ditch Of Irony
There is, of course, a horrid irony about recent scandal of a US congressman unable to take the job of the 2nd man in line to the presidency of the united mistakes of #americant. And my liberal ass is laughing so hard at this one that I might bust a gut. With that in mind, … Continue reading Digging The Ditch Of Irony
Nasty Rant Against Hillary Clinton Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things Or Maybe It's Something Else
Things fly by when one is perched upon a thirty-thousand foot expatriate stool looking down at the new-old world (order) with gusto and admiration and interest. Indeed. The show that is #americant politics is as good as any show there is. Yet some moments even turn my head--with or without The Donald. For the life of … Continue reading Nasty Rant Against Hillary Clinton Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things Or Maybe It's Something Else
VW says rogue engineers, not executives, responsible for emissions scandal
In the wake of all of today's economic chaos and a world governed as though it was a (bad-managed) corporation, people believed that diesel motors were "clean"? On that note. Did you know that Mercedes uses urine in their diesels to keep them clean? Gee. Anyone want to buy some south Florida real-estate from these German mangers? … Continue reading VW says rogue engineers, not executives, responsible for emissions scandal
Talking The Walk
What's that saying? Oh yeah. Walk the talk. Indeed. A tried and true American idiom. It is, in fact, a great saying because it goes so well with all the bullshit of consuming-to-survive in America these days--a country that for many is in a perpetual state of being caught up with buying your life from a … Continue reading Talking The Walk
Oh No! Window To Inner National Self Opened. Yet No One Panics.
Having lived in a fraternity once, this example of collegiate behaviour comes as no surprise. But the key thing to remember, dear worst-reader, is not what takes place but the fact that it takes place all the time, always has, will never stop. Which brings me to the following memory. I got into a heated … Continue reading Oh No! Window To Inner National Self Opened. Yet No One Panics.
A World Of Stupid
TPP is on its way to becoming law--and no one knows exactly what it's about. VW admitted to lying about exhaust emissions of its wildly popular TDI cars. Air France execs get their shirts ripped off because, well, they are in the process of ripping off their workers. Yeah, baby. Another day, another small fry … Continue reading A World Of Stupid
The Bigot Meter
Trillions of dollars have been spent. Habeas Corpus has been suspended--along with Bill of Rights. The government has the right to spy on you. You can be put on a no-fly list. We now have a government institution named homeland security. We also have a patriot act that cannot be dissolved which guarantees all the above. Seriously. Can … Continue reading The Bigot Meter
Buffoons Ticking On And On And On
https://youtu.be/pcPIvFUEMbQ?t=2m50s What's to be done when everything is leveraged? Where does one go when margins are so thin? How do you get credit when all there is is debt? How do you get water from a rock? The answer to these and many other questions, dear worst-reader, is simple. You mis-manage your company like no … Continue reading Buffoons Ticking On And On And On
Separation Of Church And The Gullible
There is a reason you can't get divorced in a church. There is also a reason a church can't issue a marriage license. Beyond the fact that worst-writer thinks marriage--as a state sanctioned institution--should be abolished, there is the age-old question of what came first: the chicken or the gullible? I won't argue the issue … Continue reading Separation Of Church And The Gullible
Deregulate That Fraud Baby!
https://youtu.be/0iPb9xhogoY?t=19m30s Once again, just like here, Michael Hudson nails it--and his book, Killing the Host, is going on my to-read list. Allow me to quote (or is this called transcribe?) the part from the interview in the above vid that really struck me. "They make their money for the same reason they've paid billions in civil … Continue reading Deregulate That Fraud Baby!
All In A Days Workplace
Note on the pic above: this is a screenshot from my iPad4 of the initial post of an article that appeared on salon.com. Clicking on the pic will enlarge it. The author of the article mistakes Dustin Hoffman as the actor in the movie Taxi Driver. An honest mistake--I guess. The post has since been corrected, … Continue reading All In A Days Workplace
American Economy = Debt Deflation
https://youtu.be/mzp7NiI0SUU It is astonishing to hear/read stuff like this. Man, does this guy (vid) nail it. In fact, Hudson just about sums up the whole shebang in a few words within a fifteen minute video. Most important part of the interview, in worst-writer's opinion, is in the quote below. Reading about Monday's "stock crash" because … Continue reading American Economy = Debt Deflation
Road To Nowhere
German car consortium is buying Nokia's Mapping technology for three billion dollars. Wow. Amazing. Unbelievable. Now. Is it me? Am I missing something here, dear worst-reader? Why the F are Germans wasting their money on this krapp? Oh well. Even though they make stuff real well, it doesn't mean that they can innovate. Or is … Continue reading Road To Nowhere
Your New Best Comrade Friend
https://youtu.be/OewBDIwy-O4 There really is something to being worst-writer, the grand expatriate, viewing home (that I miss so much) from these thirty-thousand feet(s). Or as others may put it: I view my home from outside its bubble. Yet. It always pains me, even after all these years, to watch--from this view--my favourite place in the world go down … Continue reading Your New Best Comrade Friend
The Great Smoke Screen Of June
As the great conspiracy theorist worst-writer-ghandi said, and I'm pseudo-paraphrasing, "first they snark at you, then they flip you the bird, then they make lots of bad bathroom stall jokes about you and then... you lose". Or something like that. What a month June 2015 has been, eh worst-reader! I mean, what a month it's been for … Continue reading The Great Smoke Screen Of June
