Planes, trains, and … corruption

Posted on May 28, 2025 by Steve Mahaley

The degree to which our government officials, who have sworn an oath to uphold our constitution, cave in to and participate in the corruption of Donald Trump and his regime is just staggering.

All the bad words

Posted on April 25, 2025 by Steve Mahaley

I’ve been cancelling various services (e.g. google workspace, WeTransfer, EZ360, Adobe Premiere, etc.) related to our business, since we are no longer working. When asked why we are cancelling such services, here’s an example of how I respond:

Our business was focused on diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging, and creating related immersive media experiences. Apparently, the Trump administration and MAGAs can’t stand any of those ideas, so now we are out of work.

You asked for it.

To those who voted for Trump and/or who support the Republican MAGA agenda.

My 401 K from Jan 1 to April 4, 2025

I took the snapshot above from my 401K, year-to-date. Notice the precipitous fall in January/February. A 401K is the capitalist version of a pension wherein money set aside from my years (and years!) of work is invested in various ways – NOT guaranteed income.

So – Trumpers this is what you get, and this what you have done to me and my retirement.

Facts: The US economy was the best performing western economy post-COVID in the world. We had the lowest unemployment in years, the highest confidence in the economy, inflation came down, and higher wage increases. Sure, housing was and is a problem, and the trade deficits need correcting. But remember – 16 Nobel prize-winning economists predicted that Trump’s plans would hurt (if not ruin) America’s economy.

And yet, I suppose arrogance + stupidity + cult + grift = here we are.

What happened to your outrage about egg prices???
