Donald Trump is promising everyone $5000 after the midterms, if they get elected.

Sounds like the same promise about the tariff refund cheques, the same cheques that were never issued, but the tariffs only inflated the cost of goods for the average Americans, and then a couple people made Billions of dollars.

OK OK. That sounds really fucking stupid, how did that happen. Well, grifters gotta grift, so here it is.

The US tariffs essentially work by certain products and goods having a “tariff” on them. Say, for instance eyeglasses. Some blind bastard buys a pair of glasses from Canada for $100, and has them shipped to them in the USA. There’s a 50% tariff on eyeglasses, so now they paid that $100 for the glasses, but US Customs imposes a new $50 tariff charge before that person gets them. That person has to pay an additional $50.00.

The “idea” is that if foreign shit is more expensive, you’ll buy locally. Only, the USA doesn’t produce a lot of things locally, or when they do they cost way more. Or you can’t get what you want. So you are forced to pay tariffs.

Those tariffs in 2025 cost the American consumer between $216 to $287 BILLION dollars. That is up from approximately $80 Billion in an average year. Quite the jump.

So, what happened to all that money you ask? Well, the big corporations that were affected got massive refunds to offset their additional spends (aka, they made money on the tariffs), where-as the everyday consumer had to pay more for their goods. And, that’s still a shit load of money.

Only, there’s a fly in the ointment.

Getting any sort of refund can take months, more likely years. And it can be held up in red tape and god-only-knows-what else, so this creates a secondary market. In steps a company called Cantor-Fitzgerald who bought up the tariff refund receipts for approximately 25% of their value. They’re basically buying up debt at 1/4 of what it was worth. And, all the people who got fucked by the tariffs now get at least SOME money back, so they’re kind of happy, even thought they got ass-raped by Trump. But, Cantor-Fitzgerald gave them a little kiss on the forehead after they got gang raped, so I guess it all evens out.

That’s when the supreme court ruled that the tariffs were unlawful. Woah woah. Insane stroke of luck for Cantor Fitzgerald! They just made a really cool 300% profit on their investment all by one supreme court ruling. The same supreme court that was stacked with Trump loyalists! What a great windfall for Cantor-Fitzgerald!

Wait a second. Who exactly is Cantor-Fitzgerald? We should take a look into that. Well, it’s chairman as Howard Lutnick from 1996 to 2025, when Howard stepped down from chairman so her could be the 41st US Secretary of Commerce (you know, the exact person in control of what is/isn’t tariff’d, and oversees any sort of investigations into that kind of thing). Well, that’s a good thing, because we wouldn’t want the U.S. Secretary of Commerce having any sort of conflict of interest with tariffs, would we? Except, he then appointed his two sons, Brandon & Kyle Lutnick as the co-chairs of Cantor-Fitzgerald.

Woah woah woah. I know that name Howard Lutnick. Where have I heard that before? Perhaps it was because he was named hundreds of times in the Epstein files, and got caught lying about going to pedo island, and taking his kids with him to the rapist resort. The same Howard Lutnick who bought the house next door to Jeffery Epstein in the upper east side. The same Howard Lutnick who co-sponsored Project 2025? The same Howard Lutnick who lost 658 of his Cantor-Fitzgerald employees to the 9/11 attacks, and then immediately froze all paycheques and health benefits for the missing and desceased employees? The same Howard Lutnick who stole the entire Cantor-Fitzgerald firm thought a bunch of bullshit lawsuits against Bernard Cantor’s wife Iris? The same Howard Lutnick who has consistently violated the Hatch Act advocating for specific political candidates, and also promoting specific private assets on TV while in public office? The same Howard Lutnick who is entangled in a ton of crypto-scams? The same Howard Lutnick who keeps promoting AI datacenters that have direct ties to his children? The same Howard Lutnick who got $135 Million bucks from American Airlines for property damage from the 9/11 attacks, which were supposed to go his employees, but instead he kept it all himself? Ya, that Howard Lutnick.

So, effectively Trump put in a bunch of tariffs, this extracted a fuckload of wealth from everyday Americans, and that money went right into the hands of Howard Lutnick’s two kids, who definitely, in no way shape or form have any ties what-so-ever to Jeffery Epstein, and Donald Trump.

Oh wow. What is that? Those Flock cameras that everyone was warning us about aren’t just being used to track rapists and murders? Colour me not shocked in the least.

Nearly every expert ever told us that they would be used beyond the confines of the law to track our every move. Innocent people. And, there’s thousands of examples of this happening. Turns out it’s not the conspiracy that all these ignorant people claimed it was. Turns out those Billionaires lied to us. Again.

So, while we’re on the topic of conspiracies that are totally fucking true, let’s talk about women’s rights, more specifically period tracker apps. When a woman has irregularities in her period it can trigger that she’s pregnant. But, she doesn’t want anyone to know. Except, now big brother knows. And, that data is correlated back to her identity because of course it is – because these apps, even if you don’t use your real email address, or name, or other info, still sends your personal info back to the app developer (And god only knows who else), which can be sold.

Things like your Google Play or Apple ID identify you, even if you sign up with bullshit. Then, they’ve got you. Look, Jane is preggos. Better track her to see if she leaves the state to get an abortion because we outlawed that in her home state. And, just like that they type your licence plate into a system and get all the hits of when it crossed paths with a Flock Camera.

And, wouldn’t you know it, there’s a Flock Camera positioned outside of every Planned Parenthood and doctors office, carpet bombed across every city, and at every highway on and off ramp. You’re tracked. Every single place you go.

Don’t believe me? Read the article below from the ACLU.

Flock’s Aggressive Expansions Go Far Beyond Simple Driver Surveillance

This shit is criminal. It’s a complete and gross invasion into our privacy. Don’t worry, Billionaires are being paid literally billions of dollars of YOUR money to do this to you. How? It’s municipalities which pay to have these cameras installed. That money comes from your taxes. You’re paying, bitch. And, when someone cuts one of these things down (as they should), you’re paying to have it replaced.

Congratulations, you’ve sold your privacy, yet again.

Have a fucking backbone.

This world cup stuff is disgusting. It’s one of the most corrupt organizations in the world and is directly linked to slave labour, crimes against humanity, and absolutely inhumane treatment of the most vulnerable. Hundreds of billions of dollars are being spent on this shit, some of which is being spent to hide the homeless and poverty away from the world.

Remember that time Brazil evicted 170,000 people from their slums just so they bulldoze it all to build some massive stadium, all while brutalizing and murdering a ton of the most vulnerable? Then erected huge walls so people couldn’t see the slums right beside that multi-billion dollar stadium they erected? Or how they have taken endless bribes from countries like Qatar and Saudi Arabia (who are definitely known for their ethical treatment of their citizens)? Or sending the World Cup to Russia, a terrorist state? Nice one! We love this!

Then, on Canada Day, the streets were overrun with Portugal fans crying and fawning over Ronaldo? Why? What the fuck is wrong with these people? You’re crying over a guy who couldn’t give a rats ass about you, and actively employs multiple body guards to explicitly keep you as far away from him as possible. And you’re fawning over this piece of shit? Get a fucking grip on life and stop putting these false idols on pedestals. Ronaldo raped a woman in 2009 then paid her off $532,000 to shut up. How about that time he did a little tax evasion, then because he’s a rich prick, was able to skip his 2 year prison sentence, and just quietly paid his $31,000,000 fine. The guy is worth $2,000,000,000, and you think he’s some god? Don’t ever complain about the cost of housing, or groceries, or life when you idolize and cry over some rapist billionaire. It’s fucking sickening.

Do we want to talk about the time Ronaldo was pissed off so he grabbed a phone out of an autistic boy’s hands and smashed it as he was walking back to his locker room? Great dude! You’re idolizing a guy who gets paid $200m USD a year from the Saudis and acts as a spokesperson for their great country, completely glossing over the endless list of human rights violations. Cool! Let’s not forget about him shilling crypto and getting hit with a $1B lawsuit after he scammed a bunch of people with worthless NFTs.

Back to FIFA. Toronto was supposed to pay $380 MILLION dollars for this shit, but that’s never accurate. Turns out it was more like $1.06 Billion, which works out to be $82 Million/game played here. For what? Traffic from hell? The downtown core locked up for a month straight? All so you can celebrate corruption on the largest scale? Don’t even start to bitch about property taxes and spending money to care for those in poverty while you support this shit. Did I mention that the City of Toronto was forced to close warming centers for the homeless because FIFA demanded these spaces for their “operations” over the winter, but then never used them? Or, how they tried to ban empty water bottles so you were forced to pay $8 for some shitty bottled water that’s imported when we have one of the cleanest and most abundant sources of fresh water on the planet just a couple hundred meters away from the fucking stadium? You can’t even make this nonsense up.

Did you know that there’s been a 13 fold surge in online abuse and racist vitriol during this 2026 World Cup? And there’s absolutely no safeguards in place to stop it? No consequences? Nobody gives a single fuck about that? They’ve identified over 100 cases of racist shit so vile that it passes the threshold for hate crimes at a legal level, but chose not to do anything about it? Go FIFA!

FIFA didn’t pay a dime for any of this. YOU did. FIFA just said “we’re coming and our dick is so big and glorious you’re going to get on your knees and suck it”. And, like the good little consumers we are, we not only sucked them off to completion, but paid handsomely to do so.

So, when you’ve paid your $2000 for a nosebleed ticket to support this shit, don’t even start complaining about the cost of living. Or cry about a damn thing when it comes to your taxes. You’re a fucking hypocrite, and an ignorant one at that.

Giving people of colour, or the LGQBT+ community, or women, or whomever the right to marry, or vote, or have autonomy over their bodies isn’t privilege. It’s equal rights.

Privilege would be something like “gay people don’t need to pay taxes”.

Kind of like the Catholic Church doesn’t have to pay taxes.

I’ve heard it from at least 4 people now in the past year. “Dubai is amazing, it’s so incredible! It’s nothing like you see on TV and the news!”. Ya. I bet it’s not.

Do you really think a bunch of billionaires are going to let foreigners see the same torture and crimes against humanity that they routinely and continually commit? Of course not.

Of these 4 people, 3 were women. And, I asked them all the same question : “Aren’t you worried about your lack of rights as a woman”. Not one of them even blinked before saying “No, I feel incredibly safe”. Ya, I bet you do. They’re not going to pull this shit on Western Women, because it’d be an international incident.

Yes, there’s ample job opportunities there. Why? Because Western people have money. And, your money is going either directly or indirectly to slavery and crimes against humanity. How do you think all this shit gets built? With well paid labour and sites with the utmost safety regulations? Fuck no. We won’t even discuss the World Cup in Qatar where hundreds of forced labourers died from unsafe workplaces, lack of water, and pure exhaustion.

No no. We don’t like talking about _THAT_.

This image is from one of the many labor camps in the city of Dubai, just far enough away from the glitz and glamour of the city so you don’t see where construction workers are crammed into tiny rooms, often with up to ten men living in each room in squalar conditions. Most construction workers and laborers survive on less than $500 a month in income, which is setup as a daily wage. Their passports are taken ransom from them so they can’t escape.

Further, they’re effectively bonded laborers. What does this mean, you ask? They have “agents” back home, either in India, Pakistan, Nepal, or Bangladesh, which charge them roughly $3,000 to $4,000 for placement services to get them these jobs here in the Middle East. They’re promised well paying jobs, where they can send tons of money back home to their families, money they could only dream of making in their native communities.

Sound familiar? It does to me. Remember the movie “12 Years A Slave”? It’s the story of a freed black man in the north of the USA who was a talented violin player. He’s approached by 2 white men who offer him a very well paying gig travelling with them entertaining the masses – something near anyone would take. To celebrate, they get him shitfaced drunk, and while he’s intoxicated, sell him off to a slave trader who beats him within an inch of his life. Next thing you know, he’s working on a plantation in chains.

Well, that’s more or less what’s happening here. These modern say slaves are forced to pay back this “loan” they take from these “agents”. But, it’s near impossible to pay it off, and doesn’t allow them any of the promises savings. Further, they can’t leave until the debt is settled – creating a situation where they are now working for nothing – and the “agents” make all the money selling slave labour to the Dubai billionaires.

Pretty cool, eh? Fast cars, exotic adventures, the best food and drink money can buy, lavish resorts, and all the most wonderful things in life at your fingertips. While you’re there, maybe you check out the Riad Blood Money Comedy Festival. While we’re at it, fuck Bill Burr and his two faced bullshit rants. I used to respect you, but now you’re nothing more than a fucking farce.

Oh wait, I forgot to talk about all those Instagram models!

Those covergirl looking women, just living a lavish life, jetsetting around the world. Do these women work? How the hell can they afford this? Their entire Instagram profile is just them doing exotic things, in exotic places, looking as hot and sexy as ever. I should definitely like this photo!

So, how DO they afford it? It’s all pretty simple. Super rich middle east men pay them a couple thousand dollars. They’re more or less escorts. They send them on some fancy trip to hook them in. Then, they’re flown to Dubai, or Saudi Arabia, or wherever. Then, once they’re in a country with no women’s rights, they’re forced into being sex slaves. And ya, they’re paid fairly well, but it’s still (largely) being done against their will. Why? Because if they say no, who’s there to protect them? It’s hard enough having law enforcement believe a rape victim in North America – what about in a country where women have no rights at all? Good fucking luck.

This is the place that’s so amazing? Really? While you enjoy all the glitz and glam, driving your $500,000 sports car through the desert, have you ever stopped for a fucking second and wondered how all this got there? Have you ever stopped to wonder how it all got built? How it’s maintained? Have you ever stepped out of your cushy resort into the slums only a couple kilometers away, where all those slaves are kept? No. You haven’t. Or, if you have, you’re a fucking monster for continuing to support this bullshit.

Seems people just love to reap the bounty that slavery brings, but they just don’t like to think about the actual slavery aspect of it all.

Fucking hypocrite.

I have a problem. I’m kind of addicted to Wendy’s Jr cheeseburgers. I get one almost once a week because I’m a fat kid with no self control. Yesterday I was seriously craving a Coke, and decided to change things up a bit. Instead of the usual 2 x Jr Cheeseburgers, I got a “Combo 1 : Regular cheeseburgers w/fries & a drink”.

So, I pull up to the drive thru and it goes like this…
“Can I get a #1 with a Coke please”
“Medium, or a large?”
“What does it come with”
“Small”
“Well, that’s what I want then”

As I pull up to the window a new conversation happens…
“Hi, so, I ordered a #1 with a coke, then you asked if that would be a medium or large, you never gave me the option for small, nor told me that’s what it comes with. Why?”
“Did you want a medium or large”
“No, I wanted what I ordered, a #1 with a coke”
“Yes, but do you want a medium or large combo”
“I want what it comes with. Exactly what I ordered”
“You can make it a medium or large”
“Why are you being deceptive?”
“I’m not”
“You are. You insinuated that it’s a medium, and I can upside to a large. Either way, I’m paying more”
“If you wanted a large you could have upsized to it”
“I wanted what I ordered, why is this so difficult?”
“Then you want a medium?”
“I just wanted what it came with. I didn’t ask for more. I asked for the combo. I didn’t ask to make it larger”
“That’s why I offered you a medium or large”

Clearly this person has absolutely zero critical thinking skills, or is so brainwashed with her corporate upselling message she can’t understand why I’m even the slightest bit frustrated right now. If anything, she’s probably thinking I clearly don’t understand.

I drive away thinking “This is where we’re at. Where I’m the asshole for asking for what I want, and getting frustrated when I don’t automatically allow myself to get upsold by default”. It’s just extract more and more money however possible, and should I say a damn thing about it, I’m the problem. How the fuck did the consumer become the asshole here?

And then I open the bag.

Paper fucking straw. Great. I can’t wait to suck up little bits of paper pulp with my Coke. But, I’m saving the environment, so I guess I need to make some sacrifices to keep this world beautiful for the next generation. I remove the additional paper on my straw and go to slide it into my cup, which is made of plastic, with a plastic lid.

Wait a second. Wendy’s used to use paper cups. For decades, those yellow paper cups. Now they’re clear plastic cups, with lids that are thicker plastic than they used to be. They’re not bio-degradable. In fact, there’s considerably more plastic in this cup & straw now than there was with a plastic straw and a paper cup. What the fuck is going on here.

Then I thought about something else. Taylor Swift, everyone’s princess and golden girl who can do no wrong in this world. She’s an inspiration to girls everywhere. So inspiring that she takes a private jet almost everywhere she travels. In fact, she takes approximately 170 private flights a year, and those flights average 80 minutes in length. Based on the environmental impact of jet fuel being burned at an average cruising altitude, she’s burning approximately the equivalent of 34,000,000 plastic straws per flight. That seems like a lot. I wonder how long it would take me to use up 34 million plastic straws.

93,150 years. 93 thousand fucking years of using a plastic straw every single day. That’s what she’s burning each time her little entitled ass steps on a private jet.

Yup. I’m the asshole. I’m sorry. I ruined the environment. It’s all my fault, and definitely all other consumers. It’s absolutely not the irresponsible corporations and manufacturing. It’s definitely not entitled celebrities and billionaires spewing whatever toxic sludge they want into the air and waterways.

I’m sorry everyone. I shouldn’t have ordered that cheeseburger combo.

Name one of the most famous chefs in the world. One of the most popular answers will be Ramsey. I have never tasted one of his dishes, but frankly I couldn’t give a shit about that. Why do we know him? Is he famous because he’s changed the culinary world? No. He hasn’t.

He’s famous because he screamed, yelled, abused, and belittled people on television. That’s it. That’s all.

You’re celebrating a man who abuses people for ratings, and you eat that shit up like it’s some sort of a good time.

“Oh, he’s only playing it up for TV”. Maybe, but he’s got a choice to do that. He doesn’t need to. But it’s his brand. His brand is abusing people. Screaming at people until they cry. Telling people they’re worthless.

Gordan Ramsey is a piece of shit.
