WHAT I DID ON MY SUMMER VACATION

The park was filled with lots of guys who should have kept their shirts on. A barefoot blond dreadhead perpetually hopped from foot to foot whilst stroking and tapping a Pringles can like a Tibetan singing bowl. A bearded guy drummed on buckets. This really skinny kid did skateboard tricks while displaying a constant plumber’s butt. Don’t you have to be fat for that?

Food Not Bombs was all set up but not many partook. Feeding people is always better than blowing them up but no one seemed impressed. They would rather wait in line for a ten-dollar bowl of macaroni and cheese at Noodles.

All in all, it seems the general public will only accept food from earthy, nose-ringed, lime-haired leftist hippie punks if it’s inside a shiny co-op with sneeze guards.

A group of guys nearby were chatting entirely in Greek (at least that’s what it was to me) until they suddenly all started inexplicably singing (in English) Mad TV’s “Lowered Expecta-ations…”

There’s always a small group of youngsters, probably from a nearby unincorporated village, led by one guy all punked out with a mohawk, never-used leather cockrings around his wrist, and fresh razor slashes in his brand new jeans, swaggering around while the other incredibly normal keeping-the-status-quo kids follow behind at a respectful distance. I don’t really have a problem with poseurs. At least they’re trying.

And appearing as ubiquitously as always: the Cro-Magnon monkey lady in the dirty red Capri's and grey head scarf whose only activity seems to be purchasing cigarettes.

The same skinny black guy rode by three times: each time ON A DIFFERENT BIKE.

I looked around the smoke-free patio at all the people who probably wouldn’t have sex me and drank a warm half glass of beer that somebody had left. The guy sitting at the table next to me still hadn’t turned around or taken a break from his rapt attention on the single Pringle drum circle so I drank his beer, too.

The bucket drummer seemed to have come equipped with a bunch of the same song played at different speeds. It was okay but he had some really good musician sex faces.

Nobody in the small crowd seemed all that worked up, except the one guy who started looking around for his beer.

I made my way to the restroom and bought a whole bunch of novelty condoms. Just in case.

The dreaded hippie had just started the next version of the last song when I dove back into the sparkling hot city and dogpaddled away.

So we're all familiar with the diversity and gender quotas being forced on companies through ESG, by BlackRock and State Street. We all know it's supposedly in the name of Diversity/Inclusion/Equity. However, when it comes to gender quotas specifically, I suspect it's also another facet of the New World Order depopulation agenda.

Women who work outside the home tend to seek out jobs in certain fields. Careers which are considered male dominated are that way because women often don't want them. It's the reason you don't see women garbage collectors ever.

Now if those careers that women aren't interested in are forced to have a 50/50 split between men and women to comply with ESG, the companies involved seem to have two options. 1) They can either incentivize women to apply for the position by offering much higher pay than they normally would - impractical, and possibly illegal. 2) They can stop hiring men untill the gender divide is even. Regardless of the strategy used to maintain a 50/50 gender split, it will result in few men working.

What does this have to do with depopulation? Glad you asked.

Men being denied employment to maintain quotas will have a direct impact on their romantic and sexual relationships. Women tend to prefer dating men who make more money than them. If gender quotas are keeping men unemployed, those men are going to be seen as less sexually desirable on average, meaning less opportunities for relationships or reproduction. And the population declines.

Jordan Peterson Interviews Presidential Candidate Vivek Ramaswamy | EP 341

Dr. Jordan B. Peterson and Vivek Ramaswamy discuss ESG investing, the culture wars, the upcoming US presidential election, and Vivek’s recently announced candidacy. 

Vivek is an American business leader and New York Times bestselling author of “Woke, Inc.: Inside Corporate America’s Social Justice Scam,” along with his second book, “Nation of Victims: Identity Politics, the Death of Merit, and the Path Back to Excellence.” 

Born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio, he often recounts the sage advice from his father: “If you’re going to stand out, then you might as well be outstanding.��� This set the course for his life: a nationally ranked tennis player, and the valedictorian of his high school, St. Xavier. He went on to graduate summa cum laude in Biology from Harvard and received his J.D. from Yale Law School while working at a hedge fund, then started a biotech company, Roivant Sciences, where he oversaw the development of five drugs that went on to become FDA-approved. 

In 2022, he founded Strive, an Ohio-based asset management firm that directly competes with asset managers like BlackRock, State Street, Vanguard, and others, who use the money of everyday citizens to advance environmental and social agendas that many citizens and capital owners disagree with.

We need more regulations in the housing industry to insure that investors aren’t buying up properties.

16 million residences are sitting empty in the US, if they are building more without addressing the issue of how they are being bought and sold, they are just handling over more assets to investors.

Homes are expensive because of landlords hoarding them for profit, not because of regulations.
