USA - США - SAD

Таман онолико горе колико сам замишљао да је, или мало јаче. Већ је тада било пропадања на све стране - годинама смо виђали распродаје последње производње из околне текстилне индустрије у затварању, даске преко стакла на локалима, ал' све је то било по буџацима, не на главном друму. Последње три године (2008.-10.)  се убрзало, бивало је већ и на главном булевару да локал стоји целу годину неиздат, а малопродаја је већ била кренула да запошљава на гажу, „зваћемо те кад буде сати за тебе“.

Ma...

Сад прочитах ово за пожар. 
19 мртвих, више од 60 повређених, међу њима и деца која су се нагутала дима.
Како се ово догодило, Амери су познати по строгим противпожарним правилима?

Ова реченица ми није јасна:

>The fire was not believed to be suspicious in origin but the cause was under investigation.



Верује се да "пожар није сумњив" али је под истрагом? Не сумњају да је подметнут, него се ето тако догодио? Па то је још горе.

Pa dogodilo se tako sto Bronks nije Amerika.

Вероватно је неки прост узрок како је почео пожар, али мора да постоји неки озбиљан проблем како је било толико жртава. То се мора озбиљно истражити.

Електрична грејалица? Чешће су пожаре изазивале оне на петролеј, јер људи сипају свашта. Било код нас у крају, мада опет још чешће су оне од тигања док се игра Супербоул.

Управо сам нашао још један бисер од пре дванаест година. Пошиљка из Холандије је каснила у испоруци цео месец. Разлог? Нетачна адреса. Уместо „... 23452 Virginia Beach, VA“, „... 23452 Virginia Beach, VI“.

VI = Virgin Islands

Шта знају Холанђани... са тамо неког универзитета у припиздини.

Keep hearing of train burglaries in LA on the scanner so went to #LincolnHeights to see it all. And… there’s looted packages as far as the eye can see. Amazon packages, @UPS boxes, unused Covid tests, fishing lures, epi pens. Cargo containers left busted open on trains. @CBSLA pic.twitter.com/JvNF4UVy2K

Missing a package? Shipment delayed? Maybe your package is among the thousands we found discarded along the tracks. This is but one area thieves have targeted trains. We were told this area was just cleaned up 30 days ago so what you see is all within the last month. @CBSLA pic.twitter.com/43002DPyZa

A massive dam in Syria was on a U.S. no-strike list.

Tens of thousands people lived downstream.

When it was bombed, the Pentagon said the US didn't do it.

A general dismissed even the possibility as "crazy reporting."

The U.S. did it. https://t.co/AE3JcYZJ8Z pic.twitter.com/Odyb7Lu5c0

Let's talk about COINTELPRO for a second. People still misunderstand what it was, what it entailed, etc. This is important because today is the 52nd anniversary of when the #FBIkilledFredHampton. pic.twitter.com/esHJzMKaTy

Priča je skroz tipična: očigledno lud čovek šeta autoputem, zaustaviš ga, dereš se na njega pola sata da bude malo manje lud, i onda ispališ dvadesetak metaka u njega jer za tih 30 minuta nije stigao da se izleči.

Asked if he’d challenged them to square the contradiction, Scott lets out a snort. “I’m talking to this neo-Nazi and said, ‘Why do y’all hate Blacks so much?’ He goes, ‘They’re lazy, and they mooch off their family and the county.’ I said, ‘OK, so where you living these days?’ ‘Um, well, right now, I’m staying by my girlfriend’s mama’s.’ ‘Right, and what do you do for work?’ ‘Well, I’m kinda between jobs at the moment.’ I just started laughing and said, ‘Is it me, or are you the very thing you just described hating?’”

Ево нешто од пре 12 година...

This is depressing to talk about, but I'm in my mid-30s and a friend of mine recently died from an OD. the last post she made on FB was about others who were "taken too soon," one of whom was the woman to whom I lost my virginity. they were close friends and they died the same way, a decade apart. my friend who died recently, I remember we liked to drive around aimlessly when we were teenagers, and there was one foggy day when we went over a bridge to get to the beach, and she shot a Polaroid. Every time I would see her when I visited my hometown, she and I would remember that day together as the nicest memory of our friendship. I knew she had addiction problems but I thought she was getting better. A few months before she died, I visited my hometown to see my family, and just by coincidence she was working at the hotel I stayed at. I hadn't seen her in years at that point so it was a really nice surprise that we got to catch up a little bit and see one another. She had become involved with my cousin, so she even got the chance to have breakfast with my mom and talk about my cousin's issues with the law. Only a few months later and... she's gone. So many people my age have been dropping like flies to addiction. I don't know what the point of this post is other than to put my thoughts and feelings about it out there. But please be careful and remember with these sometimes-fentanyl-adulterated drugs, you're milliliters between life and death.
