20/20 Gonzo 33: Yucky Medicine


The street cred of the day, nothing else to do anyway.  Music shows, sporting events, restaurants, daily activities--not alot going on.  The boredom is intense, months and months of lockdown, a place to go, a movement to join, a huge vent, people.  Shame as a weapon, guilt as a tool, the sit down and shut up treatment.  No taste for it, like salty in a bad way, like bitter with a shot of burnt char, like yucky medicine.

Payroll day will tell the story.  Fewer paychecks, fewer direct deposits, fewer bonuses.  The boss keeps it, actually makes money on the interest, the cash doesn't disappear.  Poor get poorer, rich get richer, true since money was invented.  The after math doesn't look good.

King size mattresses, cheesecakes, headphones, shoes upon shoes, iPhones, bicycles, stuffed animals, watches, prescriptions, a Tesla.  OK, now what?  The stores will most likely not be restocked.  Can only speculate, of course.  I don't know.

Sources Say 5: The Fool's Century

What does CBS stand for anyway?  Doesn't matter now, they've become irrelevant, a bleak reminder of last century.  The fool's century.  Duped and looped.  Now we know. We started in around the late 40's, picking fights, manipulation, sinister and crude.  Stealthy.  Spies with eyes in the skies.  Peace was never kept, it was invaded.  America was a TV show on CBS.

Sources Say 2: They Miss The Ink

  Related to manipulation abuse, but with a capitalistic twist.  They are paid by the manipulators and the victims of manipulation.  It's a winning business model until the walls come crumbling down on the street, until the curtains pull back.  You thought Oz was bad, at least they got you back to Kansas.  These journal jerks got nothing. Even a few of my sources have moved on, the wreck has left the place dim and disgruntled.  Evidently, what's-her-name stormed out of a staff meeting in tears, mumbling something about pills and booze and karaoke night.  Guess it didn't go well.  Everyone laughed at her when she left the room, seems a real toxic work environment.  They miss the ink. But that won't stop them from cheering on China, and for good reasons.  Ask the finance department.  Money's money, honey, and they got the name, the bull statue, the cufflinks.  They got smear jobs, insinuations, and an editorial board.  Somew...
