Search Results: what do you wake up for

So, after all the drama about my patriotic kitchen knife (which got lost in transit, by the way), I figured I’d go ahead and trigger the Woke Quality Control Squad™ again—this time, with my garden watering can.

Yep. It’s made by a company that's right here in America, and it’s crafted from globally sourced, recyclable materials. And suddenly, because it’s not whittled from an American bald eagle’s femur, it’s apparently not really Made in the USA. 🦾🇺🇸

Similarly, these woke mobsters will humiliate us so-called "MAGA types," for buying our trucks from the Ford Motor Company, because all the parts are not sourced in America.

The internet has somehow decided that unless the dirt, the mold, and the molecules were all born and raised within U. S. borders, the product doesn’t count. Seriously? Chapin is an American company, employing American workers, manufacturing the product here, paying taxes here, and offering a sustainable product.

But, because they source recyclable plastic while cleaning up the ocean, I am somehow an idiot for buying American?

And, let me get this straight. You want to fight climate change, reduce waste, and buy from companies that are actually trying to do the right thing—but when a U. S. manufacturer does exactly that, you find a reason to complain?

I learned yesterday about the deaths of 3 people whom I used to volunteer with at the rescue squad back in 2013-2014. All three were in their 50s when they passed. I assume all passed from ailments. 2 died in 2024. 1 died January this year.

Most of them hated me, but I couldn't help but to feel somewhat bummed and saddened. Most of them had kids that are even a few years younger than me! It is a reminder that change happens and this world moves on while the departed is absent. A lot of people wake up unaware they may die suddenly that day or within the next 10 years.

If you knew the future and knew you would die within the next 10 years, would you be willing to embrace the grave?
