Tommi's, aka worst-writer's, prediction of the day and some lazy, pseudo armchair economics. But first, a question. Being home for a few weeks is both thrilling and daunting. Thrilling because I love it here--even though when I'm here I'm at the beach but all I do is work on Mom's house. It's daunting here because … Continue reading Do Not Enter Taxation

Work Worth It?
Going on fifteen years without a full-time job. Two reasons for that. 1) Baby Boomer generation proves that it's finally worth it to quit your job to pursue a dream (it's even worth it to fail at that pursuit). 2) Working, or as it should be known, compulsive behaviorism, is financially NOT worth it. Twenty years … Continue reading Work Worth It?
A Life Time It'll Take
Where is the most damage from thirty-plus-years of American't political conservatism? Is it the economy? Is it the federal budget? Is it the middle class? Surprise! Yes to all the above. But here's the thing. All the above could, if the political will (and knowledge) were there, be fixed. Seriously. With the wave of a … Continue reading A Life Time It'll Take
My Dotcom Book
As bad as things were at the end of the 20th century, the beginning of the 21st century is obviously worse. But there was some good in the 1990s that's easy to forget. Anyone remember the Dotcom boom? I'm still waiting for the definitive book to be written about why the new-economy was so easily gobbled up by … Continue reading My Dotcom Book
Afeared Yet
If you thought the war mongering and greed freakshow that is the beginning of the 21st century was scary wait till the reality sets in of who/what your parents really are. Indeed. There is nothing more scary than the infamous Boomer generation. No other generation in human history has taken so much and given so … Continue reading Afeared Yet
Useless Eaters All But One
Nothing in my useless eating worst-life will amount to an ounce of what Aaron Schwartz did. And that's a good thing. That said. The real sad thing about his demise is that bureaucrats and corporatists will never see how their compulsive behaviorism is at the root of what's wrong with everything. From the lawyers and … Continue reading Useless Eaters All But One
Creamed
If the Corporation is milk then there is proof that butterfat doesn't always rise to the top to give us... (guess how this ends)
Digging Wrong Holes
Buy books at a bookstore? Wait. Let me check my calender. Na. I'm good. The thing is, I've gone full digital as of 2014. Took me a lot of years to get here. Of course, the good or bad thing is, I can even remember the last time I went into a bookstore and bought a … Continue reading Digging Wrong Holes
Soap & Presidents
Still waiting. But. Will someone come along and replace him? Can't wait. Waiting is futile. Move on. I guess. http://youtu.be/z2hEMggPBmo
Who Taught The H-Word
There you have it. Less than sixty-thousand voters in the rural-bourgeois south are waking up to the inalienable right(s) of life, liberty and stupidity. They vote-out an incumbent that only a few years ago they loved--when their bank accounts reflected better the lust for debt and false ideology--and vote-in a guy that's probably two-steps worse. Oh well. The only surprise … Continue reading Who Taught The H-Word
What? I Wanna Edumacated.
About time, dear worst-reader. About time someone step-in and finally let Das Volk know that getting an edumacation ain't about getting a job and making munny. No. Indeed. It's about filling the gap/chasm of never having to grow up and being raised by those who never grew up before you. And while you're at it, … Continue reading What? I Wanna Edumacated.
Creeps R Us
Just read this article dear worst-reader. And guess what? I'm more confused than ever. But I suppose being a fifty year old male in a perpetual state of forced early retirement made up of über-happiness where I live off the achievements of females who are much better at coping with this alpha world than I am--being confused is kinda OK. … Continue reading Creeps R Us
Automaton Demise Eminent
Oh look. Eurowasteland, under the führung from Germania and whatever random Munich trade-fair, is trying to bring some innovation to the continent. And how do they propose to do this? They choose what the Chinese have chosen so that the world can have tech products made with slave labor. Wait. That's not exactly right. Nomatter. … Continue reading Automaton Demise Eminent
How To Be King
How do you become king? Who picks you? What grants you the right? Nomatter. Half of Eurowastelands problems could be addressed (not solved, of course) by getting rid of the useless that claim thrones. But then again. It's 2014. That monarchs still exist says it all. Spain's King Juan Carlos To Abdicate After 40 Years On … Continue reading How To Be King
Know Known Knows Unknown
Don't forget to watch the vid to the link below. There might just be a few wows in there--especially when its admitted that Dubya committed war crimes. But I'm sure we all knew that, or? Otherwise you can buy the novel this guy wrote to accompany his story-telling about govt. service and such. (Sarcasm off.) Ex-Counterterrorism … Continue reading Know Known Knows Unknown
Up Till The End
He does a great job up till the end. Because. There's no need to ask the apathetic to do anything. For if they did do anything. Then there wouldn't be apathy. Or something like that. http://youtu.be/fpbOEoRrHyU

Confused Success
As a locked-in take-my-money Apple slave (not to demean the real slaves putting these devices together), I have no fear in the following claim: there is love to be found for Microsoft's Surface. Last year, with my 2010 MacBookPro reaching it's limits, I had to make a decision. First, even though a new MacBookAir was in the plan, I … Continue reading Confused Success
Worst Question #287
Dear WorstWriter, It seems as if the move in corporate america is to host clouds that do NOT access / use the public internet. I would say all the technology that has made the internet what it is means it is time to employ this technology "off internet" for the future movement of data. Leave … Continue reading Worst Question #287
Laugh It Off
Why I indirectly use Facebook and other FB wannabees. For me, FB first caught my attention because of all the share links available on whatever website I was reading. Those buttons were initially a great way to manage bookmarks as up to that point I had been using Delicious, which is cumbersome and monotonous. Share buttons have subsequently been replaced … Continue reading Laugh It Off
Prank The Automaton
http://youtu.be/EyaZlt-Xr_A Activist group The Yes Men nail it again. These guys are so awesome they're beyond funny. Seriously. It's as though funny starts at a certain point with them and 180 degrees later it's still funny but then again it's not. Dark humour? Dark Parody? Dark... You know what I worst-mean. But then again. Wait. Nomatter. Check … Continue reading Prank The Automaton

A: But sirrah, I say to you, I'm not intolerant. B: You are, you just don't know it. A: Therefore, this feeling I have, this inner burning sensation, means that I hate everybody? Short pause. A: But sirrah, that can't be. B: Oh it can--just as you were born. Short pause. B: And now I … Continue reading Newz #002
State Sponsored Injustice
http://youtu.be/joRl9r_cC2U Been following the case of Jeremy Hammond? Or are you just another American't following the butthole of the dollar that rules your measly life? I know. I'm being a bit harsh (for I, as an Expat, follow the butthole of the €uro which ultimately is the same stinky, smelly thing!) What gets me about … Continue reading State Sponsored Injustice
Getting Blurred
http://www.democracynow.org/embed/story/2013/11/14/tpp_exposed_wikileaks_publishes_secret_trade Interesting debate between/among workers-for-the-man. But what is such a trade agreement really? On the one hand, this particular trade agreement has to do w/copyrights and all that that old chestnut entails. On the other hand, the environment is mentioned in it as well. All worstWriter can say about that is, why now?, why in … Continue reading Getting Blurred
Other Means
Digital dark ages in Germaninland? Or as Angie likes to put it (and I'm paraphrasing): To Germans the Internet is Neuland. With that in mind, I've been considering getting a tablet for a while now. But a few things have been holding me back. For one, my experience with a third gen Kindle hasn't been all that … Continue reading Other Means
