Worthless

Growing up a few years ago things were different. People could be trusted and products worked

Today a major shift has happened. People have found that lying is easy and due to regulations products fail leaving one frustrated and irked

Oxford Languages defines worthless as “having no real value or use” or of a person “having no good qualities; deserving contempt”

What follows are occupations and products that are examples of worthless in spite of the occupations or solutions they attempt

Journalist: Once bound by a code of ethics, now bound only by publish or perish

Today simply publish a story based on hearsay or fiction and let the fact checkers sort it out no matter how garish

Obvious lies are published or broadcast for the sole reason of providing for the uniformed their daily doses of click-bait

The unwritten job description is to supply a fabrication designed strictly to create anxiety and hate

Intentional publishing the misinformation of today, a few short years ago would have resulted in a pink slip

Today falsifications can be blamed on Russian bots, an acceptable excuse as the mass media and the uniparty puppet masters are joined at the hip

Hurricane Expert: These people are considered experts in their field. The job exists only to sound the alarms on potential or approaching storms

Spewing facts about paths of destruction, tropical depressions, and what time of the year the Atlantic warms

When in reality all they do is panic the little old ladies into a milk and bread buying frenzy and cause homeowners insurance rates to inflate

A true expert would draw an X on the beach and state, “the next hurricane will make landfall right here on August 14th at eleven thirty-eight”

Cloth Masks: Perhaps the ultimate in worthless for disease control. Born from pandemic misinformation, legions of people took false hope behind the mask

It wasn’t questioned until actual experts over-rode the government orders and took the despicable gnome to task

It seems masking only worked with an airtight specific surgical mask but nothing was achieved by a purchase over the counter

The masking rule was all about government control and to create hate and distrust with any unmasked encounter

Gas cans: The new gas cans have morphed into a product that is virtually inoperable. The days of a metal can with a simple spout and air valve are a thing of the past

Now one has to support 40lbs of highly flammable liquid and push a lever with your knuckles while holding down the spout release with your thumb and hoping the gas you’ve slopped all over yourself and the mower doesn’t ignite a three block blast

A better idea brought to you courtesy of the deep thinking white collared elite on a government level

The fact they can change the rules as they seem fit doesn’t hide the fact the stupidity demonstrated day to day is monumental

The Masked Manger Scene

The rain splattered off the heads of the reindeer and the lighted plastic Santa
It was the time of the year when the faded decorations were pulled from storage as part of seasonal Americana

The Black Friday sales started in August as online shopping was recommended
Percentage discounts were offered for a minimum purchase and free shipping was extended

The Sears toy catalog wish book and layaway had become memories of yuletide past
The throngs of mall shoppers and walking through a mist of perfume in department stores were remembrances that were disappearing fast

Cards had become a well wishes greeting that could have easily been sent in June
And if one signs up for a charged monthly app the kids can watch a yearly Christmas cartoon

Christmas parties are frowned upon and are restricted to a gathering of ten
More than five cars in the driveway can create a knock on the door from the pandemic lawmen

Mistletoe kisses are thrown from across the room providing not too much air is moved
And eggnog is presented in single serve cups that are CDC approved

Finally the living Nativity scene has all the participants masked
Including the animals wearing modified muzzles in case anyone asked

The fact that joy is being squeezed out of the season by hysterical naysayers is a disgrace
But even the arbitrary restrictions vanish when one sees on Christmas morn the wonder in a toddler’s eyes and the delight on her face
