I recently visited the Recorder of Deeds in my county and the office was one old white man taking forever to service each person and three obese black women sleeping in their chairs. I'm not exaggerating, two of them were actually sleeping. One was fiddling with her computer. Probably scrolling BookFace.

He was trying to do a good job by going slow. Haste makes waste. Or as the Romans used to say, Make haste slowly. The Black women? Their bodies slept, but their hearts were awake.

Ever watch the progression of a public works project such as roads? It is almost comedic how many of the workers are actually doing anything. It is another form of public welfare. Remember Newt and BillтАЩs workfare? Whatever happened to the idea?

We shouldn't have public roads at all, obviously. In this new age of FORD (Trump), I'm going to get a job in a toll booth/shooting tower. I'll spend most of my time reading, my rifle propped up against the parapet. From up there, the whole city will be filled with similar towers, one for every street (at first). We'll have fun talking to each other when not shooting people who try to jump the gate.

Later, City Lords will consolidate whole regions and you won't have to pay more than once since each Lord owns that whole part of the city. Hopefully by that point, I'll be higher up the chain of command and won't lose my job.

Their hearts were full of hydrogenated seed oils and Funyuns.
