No. Seriously. If you thought you were screwed before, you know, screwed by the lie of the open market, the economy or corporations wait till the near future lays its greedy paws in your starving lap. Anyone remember NAFTA? Well, if you feel as though you never could get that job or career that you were hoping for (yours … Continue reading The TPP Miracle

Uber Mittelstand
Two things today. One. I hate taxis. Two. As I said here and much worst here, the Germanian concept of Mittelstand is a misnomer. That is, it doesn't mean what you think it means. The Germanians and those that preach it think the word Mittelstand refers to the small and medium enterprises that supply big industry with both parts and … Continue reading Uber Mittelstand
In God We Post
It's time to come clean. I sometimes feel obliged whenever I read an article on the Interwebnets to comment on that article. It's a human thing to do--it's one of the reasons there is the Interwebnet. And worstwriter is definitely full of comments. In fact, I started blogging and subsequently learned how to host my own blog … Continue reading In God We Post
Democracy Abortion
It never ceases to amaze (worst-moi), dear worst-reader. Examples abound in my grand and well-missed united mistakes. Sometimes finding them, though, can be difficult. That is, finding the mistakes that really stand out. Well--today we have a doozy. But is it a mistake? Here's how it goes: in the great state of NH someone had … Continue reading Democracy Abortion
Herr Cheap Customer
When do you know when you miss something? I assure you, dear worst-reader, you do not know you miss something when you no longer have it. Consumerism has raised me and I've learned to live with that. But there are things that become part of life even if they stem out of the triviality of consumerism. … Continue reading Herr Cheap Customer
Über Reaction Sloth
The new Clinton scandal is winding down, dear worst-reader. (Sarcasm on.) Are you as disappointed as I how this has turned out? I mean, if you're a republican and/or US government hater, then this has to be a disappointment on a grand scale. Or? (Sarcasm almost off.) Nomatter. I'm sure the ideological nut-bags that have turned #americant … Continue reading Über Reaction Sloth
Female Quota
I know. It's not right of me to go around (these Interwebnets) claiming I've been able to semi-retire before fifty all on my own. I've had a little help in this deed in the form of my better half. Although we both agreed that she wouldn't be my benefactor, since I still pursue worst-writing as … Continue reading Female Quota
Nitwits Killed By Fire
http://youtu.be/tCPjfbXIDMg Nice long weekend on Spanish island in the Med. Weather wasn't the best but that doesn't matter. We were able to get out from underneath the darkness of Germania for a at least a few hours. Fernweh, baby. And the air is fresher too. Speaking of fresh-air. Did you know that the US and … Continue reading Nitwits Killed By Fire
Conversation In The Mead Hall
There is a horde of people all in the same place, all saying the same things, all wearing the same stuff, all eating equivalence, etc. Equivalence tastes good, btw. But there are also levels of good. More on that in a sec. For most this place of samethingeverything would be the ultimate collective paradise or … Continue reading Conversation In The Mead Hall
Children Of The Sandbox
The image today is of an unlimited number of children playing in an unlimited sandbox. It used to be called a sandpit but that name had to be changed because of the minds that prefer mysticism over science, the irrational over reality, propaganda over fact. For you see, the word 'pit' is to reminiscent of the pits of … Continue reading Children Of The Sandbox
Feminism vs Emancipation
Today a few thoughts on another movie (Fifty Shades of Grey) I won't see. This post is NSFW. Or maybe not. Good luck. Every generation has to have its own mainstream how-to fuck film. I say mainstream because the porn industry isn't really a how-to fuck industry, although that's probably a shame on account it does … Continue reading Feminism vs Emancipation
How To Firmware
Note: this is NOT an advert. Could careless which product you buy. Moving on. ¶Wouldn't you know it. Wait for the right moment and it never comes. Unexpect that moment and it does come. Recent debacle with planetary über-corporation Samsung lead to a firmware update (almost) debacle. As worst-stated in this post, Samsung's IT Volk need … Continue reading How To Firmware
Go Away All
Compulsive Behaviour: doing something to the point of an obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) or other condition leading to self mutilating behaviour. Yeah. I'm a fuddy-duddy. I stopped laughing at Jon Stewart years ago. I might have even lost touch with comedy on account I hate comedy that only nit-picks, makes fun and relies solely on … Continue reading Go Away All
Skittles Is Newspeak
http://youtu.be/jU4m_KNS0Js Another fantastic piece of journalism? Indeed. And it doesn't matter that mindless television spectacle should remind people of the last efforts to stall the fall of the Roman empire. You know, like they did with those coliseum games way back when. Just watch the vid, dear worst-reader. Three issues of #americant neo-fascism and corporatism are addressed. Wife beating … Continue reading Skittles Is Newspeak
Just Living The Dream, Dude
Seriously. Don't know what everyone is so giddy about. But then again I reckon waking up is hard to do when you live both in the intoxication and the hangover. Indeed. Such is life. And so. Whether one is facing the demise of her/his dreams or the reality of seeds (obviously everyone has) sown, what … Continue reading Just Living The Dream, Dude
Side Of The Trade
Curiosity has hit this Ausländer a wee bit more than usual since Jan 1. The beginning of 2015 has offered up a lot to consider. First, the Swiss unpegged their precious Franc from the Euro. Second, East Germans, most of which were educated under the auspices of Margot Honecker, presented their intellect in the form of … Continue reading Side Of The Trade
Twice As Much
Worst-thought of the day on how the world really works. A fairy appears to a worker-bee of the western world while that worker-bee is taking a break in his cubicle and dreaming of a better life. The fairy says: I will do anything for you that you want but remember whatever I do for you I will … Continue reading Twice As Much
The Slime Ball Cometh
Oh my. Unbelievable. Only in #americant, baby. In my post Barrel of Fun I had a few not so flattering words to share with worst-readers everywhere about Mitt Romney. And if I may toot my own horn, I rather like the post, especially the part where I wax philosophical on what Romney's father did to … Continue reading The Slime Ball Cometh
Get A Grip On Your Monsters
Never forget the moment right after #americant started bombing Afghanistan in 2001 when the Taliban leadership went on the telly and called my grand united mistakes a bully. There was also a time (in the not so distant past) when a simpleton named Rodney King got caught up in the severity of being a simpleton and thereby thought he could mix wits with the … Continue reading Get A Grip On Your Monsters
What Is Money #27
Money? In most cases. You can't really earn it anymore, you can only work for it. Or something like that. Rant on. -tgs-
How To Stop The Dominoes
Have this behind me: the frustration felt during the wars-of-choice that have sent #americant into its current spiral of empire delusion? There are a few things that will always remain from those years. The first is the fact that the people who didn't vote joined the ones who did vote and all elected Dubya (twice!) The price for this apathy … Continue reading How To Stop The Dominoes
As Time Doesn't Go By
Two things this morn, dear worst-reader. There are the many who don't know the Interwebnets. There are the few who don't know the Interwebnet. Let's begin w/ the first, shall we? As a consume-to-survivor I made a major end of the year purchase on 29.12.14. It took worst-moi a few weeks to finally make the … Continue reading As Time Doesn't Go By
Hack-chu Gesundheit
"If everyone doesn't see this movie, the terrorists win." -from a shameless Hollywood promotional article here. No. Seriously. This is a joke, right? I mean, this hack on Sony Pictures is a joke. If it's not a joke, then it must be the weirdest promotion of a film ever. Right? (See link above.) Ok. If none of that … Continue reading Hack-chu Gesundheit
Comedy, Ether and Cosby
Subtitle: The Opposite of Comedy Is Sexual Repression There’s this thing about comedy that has lingered with me for a long time. I’ve often wasted a thought or three trying to figure out what it is. With some recent realizations/rationalisations, there might be worst-progress. For example. Is there something behind comedy? You know, something more than just … Continue reading Comedy, Ether and Cosby
House of (Discrepancy) Cards
What do you do, dear worst-reader, when the only choice you have is to not sneeze in a house of cards where the air is filled with feathers and pepper dust? Yeah, baby. With that in mind, let's worst-write today--after such a long hiatus of nothingnesss--about discrepancy and derivative trading. What is discrepancy? How 'bout … Continue reading House of (Discrepancy) Cards
