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’m sure it used to be young adult (18-25) and middle age (40-60) but now it seems young adult has become 18-30 and middle age 35-55.

As a child, 10 years seems so long. Now at age 30, it seems like 10 years ago was like yesterday.

I just learned 3 people I used to volunteer with at the rescue squad are dead. 2 out of 3 of those people were key people/high-ranking officers at the organization. They all died within less than a year apart and all three were in their 50s! Some of them had kids around my age that used to volunteer too.

Then I was reflecting on how my hometown in Tennessee has changed so drastically in just this past decade. This place is not recognizable anymore! All these damn northerners and Californians are flooding in and warping the culture of the area and driving the cost of living up astronomically. The people that did grow up here are dispersing and leaving. I am thinking about leaving with my fiance when I have the money and means to do so. We'll of course be married by then.

I am completely burned out.

Ever since I was a kid, I was passionate about careers. For a long time, my career was a huge part of my identity, but having worked 25+ jobs and not being able to hold a job down for at least a year, it really just unmotivated me.

It isn't just going to work and working hard anymore. You always have those co-workers or middle management that throw you under the bus. You have to navigate through all the workplace politics and drama with colleagues. You have to appease your co-workers and deal with micromanagement and co-workers that want to boss you around so they get promoted. There is also this emphasis on being the right "personality fit".

I have already changed careers once. My industry has been decimated and is now oversaturated. I am just tired at this point, and I have been happier lately collecting NEETbux (social security disability). I get $1,800 a month after deductions!
