Duh. World population, 1900: 1,700,000,000. 2021: 7,900,000,000. You'd think we fight wars just for the Baby Boom action. What, she's gonna say, no? I don't think so. Alice, where are you going? Alice?

Nobody wants to talk about the population crisis. Each of us is about 60% water. Each year there are more and more people. Each year there is less and less water. Something has to give.

Now, the maniacal Cappies will keep pushing us to rabbit on because our pandemic of morbid obesity means economic growth to them. F*ck the Amazon rainforest, they say. Buy something on Amazon -- say, Rainforest Cologne. A little dab'll do ya. Then hit on Alice again. What's she gonna do, say, no?

I know the poles are melting, so theoretically our children's children children will have fresh water in principle -- unless they f*ck it up like that Kevin Costner movie, Waterworld. But we gotsa lay off the ploughing and the seeding and live within our chillens means. It's a favor to the future generation.


Nationalize Banks, Utilities

Fight back. Don't take any more, Lefty. Cold cock the Far Right Darwinists on the cheek. Thus far, we've had nothing but words to take back the night with, but they've pissed on the Constitution and now we'll have to fight (let's fight). Because the psychos who control things have figured out they are the Lucy link to AIs and fear they'll be rounded up and made to serve the Good for a change. Or worse, Silicon Valley psychos are building AIs in their own images. When the dust has cleared, we probably won't have a population problem anymore. Let's hope it's the T2 Schwarzenegger ending. But it could be the dreadlocked Predator. They're savagely ironical like that.


Form A New Political Party

It's really a no-brainer. We keep being reminded that political parties are private. They don't owe the public anything but their promises. We found this out when the Democratic Party told a lot of us to shut the f*ck up about Bernie and his disenfranchisement from the nominating process. Really, Hillary might as well have given us all the Finger. Herb private server at home was also another finger. Don't f*ck with Hillary Hanson. Look what she did to Daffy Qaddafi. But they rolled her anyway.

No, it's time to consolidate into a voter block all the disenfranchised groups into a political party: uni students, Blacks, Latinos, Injuns, and women. What are they gonna do, say, no? As good friend Greg Palast has pointed out innumerable times, these are the people who get mail-in or provisional votes, who Republican state secretaries arrange for catastrophes to happen to their polls -- all of it behind their backs without them knowing. Palast writes, in his immensely entertaining and illuminating book, How Trump Stole 2020:

...on Election Day 2016, a giant hunk of the student vote simply ... vanished. And the Milwaukee Black vote also plummeted...And so, Trump is President...And Wisconsin's student vote evaporated. Nationwide, only two states recorded a drop in student voting. Wisconsin's drop was breathtaking. In-precinct voting by students declined by a third, from 67% to 49 %.

Is it any wonder that Trump thought that a simple phone call or two in 2020 could sort things out? Trump lost (narrowly) because the traditional missing votes showed up this time.

Let's gather these voters who don't get counted (by the millions) and begin a new private party, The Disenfranchised Progressives. Balance of power. f*ck 'em.


Make Water not War

In the Milley Vanilla War College Report on Climate Change (see my review) the Army revealed plans -- indeed the need -- to come up with a gizmo that will extract water right from the air. War in the desert, they said, makes you thirsty. They wrote:

One of the most recent developments is in the area of atmospheric water gathering. Some researchers estimate there may be as much as 13 trillion liters of water in the air," the Report tells us, and "we" just need to come up with "a device called a water harvester.

I once picked apples with Jamaicans in a New England orchard. I wonder how the rain drop picking would go, and what would count as 'fancy'? My boss said I picked nothing but juice; maybe that would be a good thing this time around.
