Time to get off my rocker!

This isn’t going to be pretty.

The purpose of this post is to motivate action.

The problem with an information-based economy is that everything focuses on software, not hardware. Yet, hardware is indispensable. But those who focus on software don’t want to make the hardware; they want it outsourced. And in America, where I’m from, we’ve become a country obsessed with software and services. Who’s building the STUFF? China. South Korea. Thailand, where I live now. India. Even big Chinese investments in Africa and South America. HARDWARE investments, you American dumbshits.

We’re building hardware elsewhere, and the only hardware we seem interested in constructing is war machines. Sure, let’s build a $100 million F-35 fighter plane. But who’s building competitive aircraft? Maybe a few, but how many do you need? And what good does that do for the average American? Sure, it provides some jobs, but if we had a manufacturing base in steel, shipping, concrete, microchips, and all those things farmed out worldwide, maybe we’d have a future worth looking forward to.

If you’re talking about defense, what sense does it make to have all the raw materials you need manufactured in countries that could be your potential attackers? It makes no sense. This is part of what my rants revolve around—the decay of America and the West.

I’m not going to spoon-feed you here. I’ll give you screenshots and links because I want people to get off their lazy asses, click over to X (formerly Twitter) or Facebook, and interact with the post. Like it, share it, do something. As a content creator, I’m looking for people of action.

I love my membership—a few hundred members. I have disrespect and disdain for the 3,500 who keep reading and apparently enjoying or gaining value from my work but don’t pay me for it. They’re freeloaders, leeches …devoid of self-resect or a sense of shame. So, at least redeem yourself a little by interacting with posts on Twitter and Facebook. Maybe I’ll shut the fuck up and look away.

You wonder why a guy like me talks about his readers this way? Because I don’t fucking care. I write and I accumulate smart people over time, and smart people get it. My retention rate is record breaking and I’ve talked to experts and shown them my numbers. Fucktards do not get it, never will, so this is a “bottom blow” in Navy parlance (that’s where under 1200psi, we open the valve in the drum tank of a boiler, and it blows out the sediment and scum accumulated at the bottom…it makes the whole ship shudder, and that’s cathartic).

Eventually, the smart ones like what I do. They read, get value from my work, and pay me for it like any normal human being would—except the 3,500 freeloaders. If that sounds like sour grapes, I don’t give a fuck either. I’m thrilled when any fucking freeloader, like Dr. Gary Moore—the fraidy-cat chiropractor from San Antonio—unsubscribes. He and all the rest of you are invited to unsubscribe forthwith, please. What in the fuck do any of you leeches do for me anyway?

You’re a net drain. Especially fucking Moore.

In essence, this is like chasing away shoplifters out of your store. Sure, I have some free stuff, but it’s for paying customers and for a bit of preview for total newbies (welcome). It’s not for you leeches for years, and it’s an offense and an affront that you steal it with no honor or shame.

So go the fuck away if you don’t pay. Have a sense of shame because if you are getting value and not paying, you are shameful. If you are not getting value, then you’re a fucktard or weird sociopath if you’ve read this far…

… So here’s my best over the last few days. No embeds. Gotta get off your lazy asses and go there.

… And that will be it today. Except for a word with my sponsors, i.e., people of honor and self respect. NON leech, freeloader, and freerider types. The types who couldn’t sleep at night for righteous concern over guilt and shame. People not deaf to the voice of their own conscience…
