Notes on a blug

All is quiet. Silence creeps through. Blug subjects absent.
Election results demand stun. Voters didn't vote. They were registered but not registered. Voters had to show their cards. Everyone hates cards. Voters hate politicians. Lotta hate.

The voters that went marked “x”. In school, teachers marked “x” to indicate the wrong answer. No matter who you vote for, they are always wrong then. Back in the school, I hated “x”. Hate and a wrong answer every election. This all points to something.

Canadian dollars crash into the tank. Oil prices collapse everywhere but at the pumps. Metal prices decline.

Yet all staggers along. Its one of those rare times when not having any money makes you the fastest horse in the race. One cannot lose what one does not have.

It is just another day to write into the blug.

Suffering a similarly embarrassing financial situation as yourself, I heartily agree with your analysis.

First, I also suspect all those 'X's' marked on all those ballots actually meant 'incorrect answer'.

Har!

Also, although I do feel badly for all of those people who actually had retirement savings at one time, this feeling of freedom at owning nothing of value and therefore having nothing of value to lose --- is somewhat exhilarating. Woo Hoo!

I knew there had to be some upside to abject poverty! Otherwise, why would I do it?
