I hate work.
I only ever went to work to get money for food, housing, car.
Unless you're the boss...most of the time all that happens is you get  "used and abused", "bullied and harassed".
No wonder the suicide rate is sky high.

You are such a sad sack, Bambi. It's a wonder you made it to your 70s.

I'm sorry you hated your work and saw yourself as downtrodden. Pretty ironic that you, of all people, would be so virulently opposed to socialism, though.

I sure am glad that a biophysicist (with a Nobel for Chem because our science divisions no longer make much sense!) has decided that all the epidemiologists are wrong. Add into it Mr. Justin "I can prove that masks don't do anything" Hart and you  end up with fatuous observations like "We see this in HI, NZ - strict lockdowns - the virus is gonna do its thing."

He can say that until he's blue in the face, but it's not what we're seeing. Nor has Dr. Leavitt's model proven to be accurate. Or as Mr. Hart says, "I did not see that southern wave coming."

If I can be bothered, tomorrow I will explain what the problems with his assumptions are, which led him to erroneous conclusions. But the Gompertz model, as developed and applied 5 months ago, has totally failed in its predictive capacity when one tries to apply it to the lands to our South, Kid, not just to HI and NZ (among others).

Plenty of people get used, abused, bullied and harassed in the workplace.
I hated commuting, and the whole workplace environment.
I liked staying home...washing, ironing, cooking, and cleaning, shopping.
Mrs bambu hated all that.
Mrs bambu, on the other hand, loved working, loved the workplace environment. Loved the 'war'.
As luck would have it, many men my age then, at the beginning of the 90's were made redundant, paid 2 to 1 that they had paid into superannuation account, and waved goodbye.
I then did yard work for widows in the wealthy north shore.
Yes, gentleman bambu the gardener....part time.
Social capitalism is best.

So, you were a whinging malcontent and you like being a domestic worker. How fortunate for Mrs. Bambi that you like doing that stuff. I wonder if she thinks you do it well - or do you make her do it at home?

Don't bother answering - your judgment about what she likes or not strikes me as unreliable, at best.

And Monday brought Trump's claim that China is promoting the protests around the country to help Biden. These would be the same protests that Trump has claimed are damaging Biden's chances, but why bother with details, right?!

Two Aussie journalists have been rushed out of China...via their embassy they managed to reach.
Foolish to have ever set foot in China, IMO.

I am sure that this, too, will bring swift condemnation from President Trump.

This is me holding my breath.

Trump dumps "White privilege" classes.

Good.

She chose to dress in business attire and go to the office fulltime. Foreign multinational...paid well.
The washing, ironing, cooking sort of, cleaning, grocery etc shopping caper and working til 1pm is not as easy as it sounds (doing it properly.)
A house-husband's work is never done.

I confess I had to look up the meaning of gender reveal party.  I had visualized something shall we say way more interesting than what it turned out to be.   Anyway,  people setting off fireworks (blue or pink) during a severe drought should be severely punished.
