Homeland Security

I recently looked at a map of the world and it reminded me of why the United States of America is a super power. We are not to be taken lightly on a wordly scale, we will kill you. Now that being said, I have come to a new conclusion about a problem I have been having with the way our economy has been working. We are New-Rome. I am obviously not the first to have said this, but I think I am taking this from a different angle.

Our economic system is ridiculous. Without getting into intimate detail I will say that our economic system is ridiculous because we base a lot of it on China and other foreign countries. We ask China to do the grunt work for nothing money, as we stand by not thinking twice consuming their goods. Every American is guilty of this. Therefore my big conclusion is not that our economy is ridiculous and unsustainable or that we are New-Rome due for a collapse, but that Americans are bad people. At least on the East Coast. I feel guilty buying things at great low prices knowing that money is really funding corporations that are funding Chinese factories when that money could be helping people here.

Now I am not going skitzoid, I love my country, fuck you I am American through and through, but I can't help to feel just a little curious about how long all of this will last. I don't mean recession wise, I mean how the US is untouched by major disaster and problems in comparison to other countries. I am not going to feel bad for being successful and doing whatever I need to be well off, but I feel that our country is full of people who just want to self-indulge. Again, at least on the east coast.

I love going to Aventura mall, not to shop, but to watch the show. The show of all of these gaudy, flaunty and selfish people parading around with shopping bags as if it is some sort of competition as to who can be the most show-offy. I don't like or really trust people at first glance who dress like boat riding assholes.

Offshoring or Outsourcing

You take your pick of the fucking word you want to use to describe this. It doesn't matter because it always comes back to the same thing, an American is losing their job to someone else outside the country. This is a shit strategy and it isn't helping anyone. Often times offshoring jobs is actually a losing strategy because the people receiving the job don't do it well out of spite or they don't have a fucking clue as to what they are doing so it is done wrong or poorly.

I have heard the goddamn arguments for shipping developers' jobs to India too many times.

It usually sounds like: "For the price of one developer here I can get 2 or 3 Indian developers."

I always respond with: "Yeah and you will have two pay twice because you will have to pay for them to do the job wrong and then pay for someone to fix their shitty code."

I have decided that it makes more sense to offshore the jobs of CEOs because using the same asinie logic we can get a billion indian CEOs for the price of 1 American CEO.

It should be illegal to offshore our goddamn jobs, that way we can get our economy back on track. Fucking assholes running the big corporations in this country only care about their fucking wallets. If the middle class ever collapses, there will be civil war. We will fucking kill the Aristocrats of America for vengence.

I think I want to move away from Florida at one point, just to GTFO. I am so fucking tired of idiots running this state. It is painfully obvious that Florida needs to be broken up into North and South Florida. The North is ruled by biggoted white republicans, where as the South is ruled by a mixture of people who lean more towards Democratic ideals. The fucking idiotic republican Cubans down here can go back to Cuba for all I care.

I am now registered as nothing, I belong to a political party because both parties suck. I am a true Democrat, which is not what you see in our government today. Blue dog democrats are fucking republicans, so they don't count. I think our Government needs a party cleansing, this bicameral shit isn't working obviously. Then maybe we can regain our senses and think twice about outsourcing crucial American jobs.

There is a storm coming and that storm is a shit storm that is right in front of us. It is called CHINA'S ECONOMY. Just like there are housing bubbles, there are other types of economic bubbles. China is artificially controlling the power of their currency so everyone outside of China can get their shitty pieces of molded plastic at a lower price.

Think what you want, but it is approaching. How do you stop this kind of problem? The whole world is in trouble...

Health Insurance

I have Aetna POS health insurance which you would think really stands for Aetna Piece of Shit health insurance, but it stands for Aetna Point of Service. It is basically a HMO in disguise, the only real difference is that you can go to any doctor you want without a referral from your primary. So aside from my heart problems, which apparently aren't as bad as I thought anymore. I have Bradycardia and my heart stops in my sleep every now and then. Aetna cock blocked me for a Sleep Study because they are assholes, their criteria I kid you not is that I must be near death.


Anyhow, the fine people at Aetna have just fucked me out of $1,500 because I need to go get a Colonoscopy and a Upper GI Endoscopy done. Neither are covered for me unless I am 50 years of age or older. Therefore I must pay my out of pocket deductible. I have the money to pay for this, I can regenerate this loss in 1 month's time, but that isn't the fucking point. I don't think it is fair that I must be penalized for the stomach problems that I am having before 50. I don't know what kind of problem I am having with my stomach, but I am doing this procedure because I have blood in my stool, the stupid part is the blood isn't even visible. No streaking or anything, it isn't visible. Apparently this is worse. I am doing preventative maintenance, but apparently that is a no no for insurance companies.


So I am going to take this opportunity to fuck my insurance company by doing as many fucking procedures as I can after this procedure. I am going to a Dermatologist and besides the co-pay, it should all be 100% covered after this. I will go to an Allergist to get a food Allergy test done.

ATM Banking

She was taking too long... Inspired this post.

I don't understand people who think it is okay to do 50,000 different transactions at an ATM while they know someone is waiting behind them. For this reason I have taken this picture of said person who took about 8-10 minutes of her sweet time to perform a deposit, a withdrawal and a wicked game of angry birds all on the fucking bank ATM while I was waiting.

 Not even a fucking courtesy gesture to me of: "Hey, buddy, I need to do a billion transactions here at this ATM because I don't know what the internet is yet. That being the case would you like to go first?" She didn't do that, therefore she will me immortalized on my blog forever. Congrats, I hate you just for this. Otherwise, I thought she was pretty fine looking.

I mean seriously man, I only needed to deposit some fucking money! Everything else other than deposits and withdrawals I do online because I am a hermit and I hate people. I don't like leaving the safetey of the internet where I can troll people anonymously all day. Actually I don't do any of that normally. I do bitch though :-D

Concerts, Events and Seating

When I go to certain events, I like getting specific types of seating. For example, when I go to a rock concert, I want to be as close to the front as I can go. When I went to my first Iron Maiden concert I realized this when I was in the nose bleed section. The band looked like ants on stage, it sucked. When I went to see NIN, I got decent seats because I couldn't afford anything better. Unfortunately the assholes down in front stood up the whole time which made it impossible to stay seated. No matter how much people yelled at them to sit, they just danced around in their stupid airheaded blonde fashion. I told myself next time I would upgrade so that wouldn't happen again. I went to a Anthrax, Megadeth and Slayer concert. Got Awesome seats. Well worth the money, still had to stand unfortunately because people suck. The theater was out doors not much we could do about that. Went to Iron Maiden again, got better seats this time. Unfortunately not good enough, idiots still standing the entire duration of the concert. Additionally some asshole poured beer on me from the level above me. Called security on them, but still ruined my experience. My point is, I am trying to get box seats so I can stay the fuck away from people. If it isn't box, then it sucks. I hate having to deal with the inconsideration of others. I don't care what kind of concert it is, if I am not on the floor, then I don't want to deal with juvenile behavior especially if my tickets cost me 300+ dollars. I am going to see Louie CK live in November. I tried explaining to my friend that box seats are better especially since they are the same price as all seats in this particular scenario. He didn't get it. I explained to him 3 times why trying to get all of our seats together wasn't worth it because we would be giving up box seats in order to do so. He insisted we sit together, so now we have shitty seats in the back. Since it is not a rock concert I didn't fight with him. If it was I would have bought box for me and told him to figure it out.

Middle of the Road

I don't like encountering people who want to stay middle of the road for just about any topic. I hate that shit. I used to be like that and it just got to a point where it was IMPOSSIBLE to be middle of the road. Trying to make everyone happy is not a possibility, especially professionally, religiously or politically. Someone is going to get the short end of the stick and you need to know that and embrace it. Trying to be the nice guy in certain side oriented scenarios is just STUPID. Fuck that shit. Everyone has a stance whether they want to admit it or not, even the people who want to play middle of the road have a stance but don't want to fess up because they are afraid of what others might think of their stance.

That is why it pisses me off to meet people who are middle of the road on certain things. You can be ambivalent which is NOT the same as middle of the road. Being ambivalent about a topic is literally not giving a shit which is okay in my opinion. At least you are being honest in saying that you just don't care what happens to your country when you don't pay attention to current events cause you are a fucking retard. That is your right to have. If you don't want to consciously admit that shipping jobs off to India or China is bad for the US economy and stupid because India code is inferior code just because you met a few Indian programmers that were competent, then you are still a juvenile and are in denial of the truth.

If you can't just take a fucking stance, then what the hell do you stand for. Your opinions are meaningless and you will be left out of decision making.

Religion is a great example where a religious group demands that they are right about something. For example let's take the simple argument of the existence of god. Religious (Theists) people believe in the primitive concept of a god and Atheists do not. I haven't seen a smart Atheist go around preaching that god doesn't exist. I can't say the same for Theists. Now how can you be middle of the road on that? You can be Agnostic, but in my opinion I lump Agnostics in with Theists. So that aside, how do you get both sides to get along? Simple answer, YOU DON'T. Someone is wrong here and I decided that it is the Theists. My point is that you cannot be middle of the road about this, it is BLACK AND WHITE.

It amazes me that there are still adults who want to play nice with stupid ass arguments like this.

I am bitching about this because I was speaking to an ex-coworker of mine and at his office they have been outsourcing jobs. He asked me if I was happy with my decision of leaving, I said hell yes I was miserable there and they started to outsource the jobs I wouldn't be able to deal with that shitty India code. To which he has the gall to reply "I knew a lot of smart Indian guys." I'm sorry but does it take much critical thinking to realize that the fucking people I am speaking about are incompetent? This doesn't include all people from India, just the shitty operations who pull in any warm body with half a brain to do important programming work badly. So he was taking the middle of the road approach here because he is defending people he went to school with. Is this really a valid argument for saying that offshore code is good? Really? So just because he knew a few guys, all of the sins of these other ignoramuses is forgiven? I don't think so.

So he said we should talk later, it is obvious I upset him because I wouldn't letup on the point that outsourcing programming is a BAD fucking idea. It always is and always will be a bad idea because these fucking smug holier than cow attitudes that you get from India will always make those fucking rag head red dotted idiots think that what they are doing is "good" or worse yet, "excellent" code. These fucking idiots resent the fact that they make low wages and they take it out on their work by doing a quick and shitty job. They are fully aware of how bad their fucking code is. I've had my share of bad experiences with coders from India, fuck them.

Fucking ridiculous.

Gluttonous Coworkers

You ever work at a place where your employer will be kind enough to purchase snacks for the office? Yeah? Do you have coworkers who think it is okay to exploit this kindness by making the office snacks their daily goddamn breakfast, lunch and dinner? Yeah? That shit really pisses me the fuck off. So there are snacks in the office, but I can never get to them because by the time I want a fucking snack they are all gone.

On my floor I work with a total of 3 people, including myself it makes it 4. My direct colleague and I do not horde or eat shit tons of snacks. Out of the remaining two people, one of them is on a diet and will not touch any of the crap we have as snacks. That leaves one person... this one person continues to eat like a fucking pig every day and then complains that their side hurts... Their lunch and dinner consists of eating McDonalds or any other shitty food and then they have the glaring gall to complain about it. This fucking idiot is eating all the snacks by herself and not leaving shit for anyone else that wants it...

One more thing to just let go, small potatoes, but you know what? It is still bullshit.
