I didn't mean to, though. I just didn't think the government could be THAT inept. Oh, how naïve I was. What followed was 200-ish days of political posturing and pandering, day after day of hopeless signal after worthless indication, with empty promises and deadlines without meaning. We heard from has-been ingrates from all over the executive and legislative branches of the government about help being right around the corner, or just a few days away. All the while, people suffered. And if you thought at the end of it, some well-earned respite was warranted, well that would be wishful thinking. In fact, the last few weeks of the year proved to be some of the most chaotic, yet utterly wasteful and ineffectual periods of time out of the whole 6-7 months of "negotiation." All of this...for half of the first direct payment, half the unemployment boost for a fraction of the time, and sub-trillion dollar package after months of negotiation down from $3 trillion. And yet, some members of congress still believe in the fairy-tale, fugazi narrative that they have done MORE than enough to help throughout the course of the year, even when faced with the fact they were effectively MIA between the passage of an interim stimulus package following the CARES Act (1st stimulus checks) in May and the recent $908 billion deal in December - of course, on the taxpayer's dollar, as well. Despite the vomitous nature of the United States government and the decrepit state of its legislative procedure, I feel as though I've witnessed an awe inspiring, record-breaking year of pathetic inaction and stubborn refusal to move in the face of economic crisis by one of, if not THE most dysfunctional congressional sessions in the history of the country. At the very least, people are opening up to the clear truth of the matter: the fact that left, right, up, or down; strategic superiority, political leverage, and special interest are always favored over actual action in assisting the people. Left, right, up, or down, they don't give a shit about you. Well, that got deep, huh? Anyways, I hope you enjoy! Thanks for watching. Here's the original video where I called it.

I'M BANGING AT YOUR DOOR, JUST LET ME IN! I've been formally invited to a shindig at Silver's place, but the feline fuck can't hear me! I figured that once I clocked out of my full-time jank ghost hunting gig, the audio glitches would stop, but apparently not. I do hope this gets sorted out quickly; I wanna get the costume party started. Topped with pickles, onions, ketchup, and cheese; my hamburger outfit is sure to please.
