“That which government cannot force you to do because of Constitutional- or legal prohibition, it will force your employer to do on their behalf.”
Such as with the execrable “voluntary” wellness programs (whatever the fuck that means). Thank goodness I don’t work for Global MegaCorp Inc. anymore, or else I’d burn out the pic below (which I’d be constantly sending in response to their latest poxy diktat ):

I’m starting to enjoy this…
Here’s an interesting little snippet: about nine people a day are being arrested by British officials for the crime of posting “offensive messages online.”
Such “offense” is seldom actually defined (vagueness being the root of all tyranny), unless we include the qualifier “it hurt some ultra-sensitive asswipe’s feeewings” in the casus praehendum.
It’s a good thing I don’t live in the U.K., or else I’d no doubt get visited by the rozzers just for expressing my reaction to, for example, the South Yorkshire Police, who posted this bullshit:
Hate will not be tolerated in South Yorkshire. Report it and put a stop to it.
Here’s my response:
And that goes for all you little PC scolds, tattletales and snowflakes out there as well.
Hate, you assholes? I’ll show you hate. A pox on all of you.
…and every time a fresh unprovable accusation is made against Kavanaugh, I’ll print another one of these.
I may need a bigger blog.
“You may make a bad mistake; the company you work for can make an even worse mistake; but to really screw things up, you need government.”
Kim’s Corollary:
“…and the higher the level of government, the exponentially-greater the mistake will be.”
Hence the recent pronouncement which basically states that absolutely everything the fucking federal government has ever told you about health and nutrition, is wrong. Not just wrong, but catastrophically wrong.
As I’ve said countless times before: I longer believe anything the government — any level of government — tells me, whatever the topic.
And if we want to wander into the Tinfoil Hat Forest ever so slightly, we may note that in the above case, the beneficiaries of said bad governmental advice have been the pharmaceutical companies who, incidentally, hire lobbyists and donate barrow-loads of money to politicians.
Protip: if you ever look at the “Department” subheadings under my post title, and see the words “Advice” and “Gummint” appearing simultaneously, you’ll have fair warning as to where the post content will be going.
Still thinking about that elderly Brit who shot a local bureaucrat who’d come to have the old guy’s “illegal” cottage torn down, when I saw this cheery little snippet from Toronto:
A man spent his own money on building some stairs so elderly people could climb up this steep path. However, he fell foul of officials who tore them down.
Note the price difference:
I’d say more, but I first have to wait for the Red Curtain Of Blood (RCOB) to subside in my eyes. In the meantime, some kind soul should put a pot of tar on to boil and gather the feathers… I’ll oil the rope
