I bought some cheap Chinese 2-way radios. The packing has a big American flag and a “Designed in the USA” claim, which I suspect is bullshit. Also, there are two Bible verses. This smacks of pandering to a particular slice of conservative Americans. All I want is cheap radios for skiing with my kids next winter, not a reminder of my country’s socio-political bullshit.
I can’t believe this wasn’t a satire project by some artist.
This might be weird but at 3-4 in the morning when I get off work and can’t sleep because I gotta take the kids to school in a couple hours, I day dream about some super power I acquire that allows me, in some form or another, to end the corruption, stop the wars, force every politician into a wage slave job.
Sometimes it’s teleportation and I scare the shit out of them enough to change their ways and fuck over their bank accounts everywhere. Sometimes it’s mind control. Sometimes it’s Jebus-like prophet bullshit.
Ultimately, I just want them to take all the money there is out there from us or in their coffers, and create the utopia we could have, or get close to, if the leaders or the world and those that pay them, didn’t fuck it up for all us little peons.
Then I wake up, rush around to put my house in some semblance of order before I go to work again, smile and laugh, whether I want to or not, for the legit people who struggle just as much as I do and tip me way too fucking much because they know it’ll put food in my kids’ bellies.
Most of them love Trump which hurts every fiber of my being. They’re still good people. They care, and they’re generous and kind. They will go out of their way for anyone, and I’m not exaggerating when I say this. It’s harder to handle them when there’s a dem in office because they never stfu about it and it riles me up having to listen to them but aside from the Punch and Judy indoctrination we’ve all succumbed to we’d agree on absolutely everything as long as you don’t use certain hot button phrases when you talk about it.
Don’t all americans love their precious rag?
It’s the bible verses on the side OP was focusing on.
That came after “also”, so certainly not what he was focussing on.
Also (see what I did) most americans love the magic man in the sky.

I think it’s funny that they put the verse on there, like I know what the fuck it says. I’m not looking it up.

Oh that is just QA engineer John, he stamped it at 3:16.
