Please PLEASE – Clayton and Bruce, be SURE to get your boosters this fall. You too, Potato Head and Julie Landrum. You were the ones screaming at everyone to get the jab. You were the ones with the idiotic filters on your social media, like this moron Grady Lucas:
Because LOTS of 11-year-olds have heart attacks……
Those boosters TOTALLY help you! Just watch the video and see…
This ought to make Mandy feel better about PhoLicious slipping through her fingers.
As you’ll recall, the LEDC listed “PhoLicious” as one of their one of their “about four” serious prospects for their $7 million Business Pork Project earlier this year.
Oh damn! The Big One got away! Think of all the many high-paying jobs that are now in Houston instead of here in the Business Pork! What a missed opportunity!
Or was it……?
My goodness! Wow. One job at $13 an hour and no bennies! LOL. That could have been OUR one job at $13.00 per hour!!!!
Pretty sure the McDonald’s around here pay more than that. Good luck filling that position in the Big City, where they probably hire “sandwich artists” at Subway for $18/hr to start.
I’m not saying this to shit on Joseph’s head. When you run a small business, your balls get squeezed by everyone and you end up working 80 hour weeks and paying yourself last, if there is anything left over after the vultures have their fill. Meanwhile, clueless assholes like Clayton Tucker, Bruce Haywood and that fat fuck Heath Bishop spend their days on Facebook demanding everyone get $30 an hour on their first day of work, when they have never run so much as a lemonade stand.
I say this to point out how stupid the LEDC is and how their high hopes are going to be dashed over and over again. If/when they ever get anyone into that park, the jobs won’t be any better or high-paying than if they had never built the park and wasted $7 million in the first place.
Remember: that 152 acres has been sitting there EMPTY for TWENTY YEARS!!! Nobody has been paying taxes on it, because the non-profit LEDC owns it. If they had just done NOTHING back in 2002, that land would have either (1) been paying taxes this entire time by the original owners or (2) already been bought and developed by a private company and be up and running.
In the 70s, you could have a beer and enjoy some quality bro time with your orangutan. He might even help you drive your rig around while you fistfight for supplemental income.
It all made sense to us at the time.
You’ve got to be durable…real durable. And most ain’t
EVERYONE…friends…producers…directors…BEGGED Eastwood not to make this movie…they were all convinced it would ruin his career. Until Unforgiven THIS was the highest grossing film Eastwood had ever made.
Back again from the depths of the toilet bowl. The Eco-Strong turd that refuses to be flushed!!
It’s ‘better for municipalities’ because they are the only ones dumb enough to pay 5x more than a traditional fence
I have no idea who TJ Wright is. From what I see on-line, he seems like a respected businessman who runs several companies from fencing to pools and other stuff. I don’t know how much of all those are HIS businesses and which are other businesses he just pushes in some kind of reciprocal agreement.
I hope to god he hasn’t put a dime into Eco-Strong because he will likely regret it down the road.
First of all, these fences are priced WILDLY higher than a normal fence. If you ask for a price on Facebook, you will not get an amount posted publicly, because it is outrageous and they know people will shit their pants and never pay that amount.
How outrageous?
Well, a 500-foot fence will cost you about $47,000 if you want it to be six feet tall. That is over $90 PER LINEAR FOOT.
They try to justify this cost by telling us it “lasts a lot longer”. Really? Does it last six times longer? Can you prove that? Are there any of these sitting around that were built ten or twenty years ago that prove this concept?
Or will Mike Cour (the scumbag who runs Eco-Strong) decide to disappear or go bankrupt before your fence turns ten and you need to collect on that warranty?
“After years of experiments with different materials and iterations of rubberized sidewalks, the city’s not sure the idea will work. “It has not panned out from a maintenance standpoint as we expected,” says Sylvester Mabry Jr., manager of Street and Fleet Services for the city of Santa Monica. He says the original impetus for investing in rubberized panels was their estimated 7-to-10 year lifespan, which would have calculated out to be cheaper in the long run than the regularly required tear-outs and re-pours of concrete sidewalks.Mabry says many of the rubberized panels lasted just two years, and the city has stopped installing more until they can achieve the desired lifespan.“
Clearly TJ has never read here. So for his sake, I’m going to link to some Eco-Strong articles I have written in the past. Feel free to use the search function to find more. Just search for “Eco-Turd” or “Eco-Flex” or “Mike Cour”.
Poor Mike Cour. Trying to push fences that cost 5x more than normal in THIS economy! Good luck with that, buddy.
** UPDATE 12/5 **
Ruh roh. Rolling out the discounts already. So that $46,000 fence is now only $32,000? What a deal! I think I’d stick with the old-fashioned kind for about $10,000. Plus, these things are fugly as hell…
I’m seriously wondering if those are Photoshopped. Reminds me of the scene in Fargo where he buries the briefcase with $920,000 in it and looks both ways down the fence line and it just goes on and on for miles. Nobody would possibly pay $90 a foot for a half mile of this shit.
Well, I guess it’s about the end of Mock a Socialist Week. We have a very fitting closing chapter today…
It is fitting and very ironic because in reality, Clayton Tucker and other scumbag socialists are actually the ones who think there is a Santa Claus. They think there is a Santa Claus who magically appears and gives them “free” medical care and “free” education and “free” food and “free” heating oil subsidies.
The name of THEIR Santa Claus is the Federal Government.
They view those of us who are fiscal conservatives as “meanies” who take great joy in depriving people of all this “free” stuff. That is because socialists like Clayton Tucker are morons who don’t understand the basics of how an economy works – even though his parents wasted $80,000 sending him to college.
The truth is, guys like me don’t care HOW much education or food or medical care you get…as long as you pay for it yourself OR it is given freely as private charity. We oppose and resent having our wallets raided against our will to pay for YOUR stuff. See the difference?
The federal government creates nothing. They don’t create wealth or food or medical care. They simply grab from one group and hand the loot over to another. That’s it. Oh, and they skim a big chunk for themselves before they hand it all back out again.
The federal government doesn’t magically make all these things appear – they are provided by doctors, farmers, oil workers teachers and other productive members of society. People who sacrificed a LOT of years learning their trade while you were sleeping in every morning and refusing to get a job yourself. People who get up at 5am every morning to get to the hospital and make life-saving decisions while you lay on the couch posting on Twitter about your latest fast. People out on an oil rig doing a dirty, exhausting job that a pussy like you couldn’t do for 60 seconds before you collapsed like a rag doll.
People who sacrificed years to become excellent at something and who get up and work 12-hour days do not take kindly to useless lazy bums like you grabbing 30% or 40% of what they worked hard to attain while calling them “greedy” for expecting to be paid for their services.
What have you ever done, you lazy shit bird? What have you created from nothing or built from scratch? How many people have you ever employed in your sad, pathetic little life? Hell, you haven’t even had a real job yet and you’ll be 32 in February! The high-school kid working at McDonald’s is more valuable to society in one day than you have been in your entire life.
Here is me looking at your accomplishments in life – which could rest comfortably on an eyelash…
This is what it would look like if local socialist Clayton Tucker of Lampasas had parents who actually insisted he move out of their house and get a job. It would not be pretty:
Of course he is “trans”. Of course ‘he’ is!
What’s wrong with this picture? Besides the obvious, of course?
Old man rant starting now….
This entire generation has spent their teen years plastered to social media instead of working a job to prepare them for the real world. I was out there making a buck at 11 years old on the local driving range. It was 1981 at the Zigfield Troy range in Florida. I wasn’t old enough to drive the big machine that picked up the balls (you had to be 13), so they gave me a bucket and a digger to walk around on that giant field and dig the balls out of the dirt that got missed by the machine and smooshed into the turf.
This was the early 80s, so there were no helmets or anything like that. I have no doubt that every guy on that range was saying “$5 to whoever hits the kid”. I was paid about $2.75 an hour and I thought that was the most awesome thing in the world. I wanted to work there every day and deposit money into my little passbook account to make interest on my cash.
On top of that, my Dad had non-stop yard work for me and my brother. Mowing the lawn, hauling trimmings to the dump, painting the house, painting his office, cleaning all the screens on the house. You name it. He paid me well, but it was summertime in south Florida. In other words – a sauna. I’m sure my brother and I bitched to each other, but we would never DREAM of bitching to the boss and I was happy to be making a buck. Making a buck gives you INDEPENDENCE – something today’s pussies have no desire for.
2. This pussy is making videos during work hours. I don’t have TikTok or any of that other shit but I see these stories all the time in my news feeds. It’s ALWAYS some pussy making a video about how hard their job is and what jerks the customers are while AT THEIR JOB!
Newsflash, fucko – there have ALWAYS been asshole customers for the last 200 years. I had them too. If I was a boss and saw some pussy kid making videos when he’s supposed to be bussing tables, I’d kick his ass to the curb that second. I see it all the time at restaurants – some pimply kid in huddled in the corner on their phone while the dishes pile up.
You see this with local socialist Clayton Tucker, too. He’ll take a picture of himself doing some mundane chore like it is some huge accomplishment. Who does that?? Today’s soft and spoiled pussies, that’s who.
Of course, he wears safety goggles while shoveling shit.
So that’s “ranching”? OK. I’m a rancher too, then. I’ve lost count of the times I’ve shoveled pig shit, goat shit, and chicken shit over the last 10 years. But I don’t think I have a single picture of any of them.
Think about this: who took that picture?? “Hey mom! Come take a photo of me shoveling so I can put it on my social media! Mom! MOM!!”
I’m trying to imagine what would happen if I got a flat tire on the highway and as I was changing the tire I yelled to my girlfriend to come take a picture of me so I can put it on TikTok. She would rightfully call me a pussy and dump me on the spot.
3. This soft-as-baby-shit kid can’t even work EIGHT HOURS??? When I was this kid’s age, I had three jobs. One of them was in the catering business. That was NON-STOP work. Unloading the vans, setting up, serving asshole customers, clearing tables, washing dishes, mopping floors, re-loading the vans, taking out shit tons of trash. I don’t EVER remember whining about “being tired”. I was 23 years old and had all the energy in the world. Our boss was cool as shit, so we wanted to bust ass for him. We got leftovers and he’d toss us a case of beer for free – a case of Miller Lite was about $9 back then but it seemed like a fortune. I worked with 2 or 3 of my best friends and we all broke our backs and loved it. Then we’d go out drinking until 1am and I’d be up at 6am for my REAL job.
You know why? Because I didn’t have a smart phone and social media shit to waste 20 hours a week on. Fuck you and fuck your phone.
4. If you are too big of a pussy to work at LEAST a 40-hour week, then you should stfu about not being able to afford rent. Clayton Tucker does this too – presumably to explain why he still lives with his parents at age 32. He complains about “inflation” and how “rent is now $2,000 and it was only $800 back then”.
Average weekly wages in 1973 were NOT $873. Not even close. Many people commented on this to Clayton Tucker and told him he was wrong, but he ignored all that. He has to somehow rationalize why he lives with his parents. Not to mention, EVERYTHING is “unaffordable” when you work zero hours a week, like Clayton Tucker of Lampasas.
We could have complained about inflation in the 80’s too, you moron. Do you have any CLUE how bad inflation was in the 1970s? I could have said “oh man…my Dad could buy a car for $3,000 and now they cost $20,000! Not fair!!”
You know what you do when you are a guy with no wife and kids, like Clayton Tucker? You get a buddy or two and SPLIT rent! Crazy, right? We also picked up extra hours. You work 50 or 60 hours and you get some roommates. I had three roommates in my 20s. We split rent, phone, cable and everything else four ways.
Then again, I guess you have to have friends to pull that off, right Clayton?
Not today. Today you think you’re entitled to an apartment (or house!) all to yourself and you cry if anyone expects you to actually work eight hours at a time.
I seriously think the government needs to treat smart phones and social media like alcohol – banned until you are 21 years old. Smart phones and ESPECIALLY social media has fucked up an entire generation of kids and turned them into pussies and zombies and morons who vote for socialism. TikTok should be banned completely.
Insecure, 14-year-old ones with eating disorders, mostly….
Also, only a young chick would need an app to tell her to start at 9pm and end at 9pm the next day.
Wow…an 18 hour fast every day of the week? Impressive. Then again, it is easy not to eat when you don’t have a job or anything else to do so you can sleep til noon and then just sit around at Mom’s house all day on your laptop.
[Not to mention: it’s all bullshit like many pseudoscientific fads that chicks believe in like gluten-free diets, fibromyalgia, long-Covid, palm reading, wearing masks to stop Covid, etc.]
I do a 15 hour fast every fucking night between dinner and breakfast the next morning, now that I think about it. So you basically eat a late breakfast and early dinner. But it sounds so much better to call it a “fast” and put it on an app. Just more evidence of the most pussified generation ever: patting yourself on the back for cramming all your meals into six hours.
Millennial pussies: never have lives less-lived been more-documented.
What’s next, Sally? Maybe a juice cleanse before grabbing mom’s Thigh Master? Or maybe post some photos of a dessert you had while out with the boyfriend? Maybe a strawberry daiquiri?
If I was Clayton Tucker’s dad and had this unemployed pussy living under my roof at age 32, I’d be over at Lampasas Beer Market getting hammered every night. Then I’d stagger home wasted and challenge her to feats of strength while poking her in the sternum and calling her an embarrassment to the family.
I might also yell at my wife for mollycoddling him and turning him into such a pussy in the first place. Mom probably gave him presents on OTHER kid’s birthdays when he started crying.
The guy who claims to be a rancher is going to fast to lose weight! LOL. You know how REAL ranchers lose weight? Doing their job everyday and busting their asses out in the real world. They don’t lay in bed at their parents’ house all day complaining about how faint they feel because they haven’t eaten all day.
Oh right. Because he’s in the pocket of scumbag politicians like Maxine Waters, Elizabeth Warren and donated $40 million to Democrats during the midterms. Funny how all the revelations came just days AFTER the elections happened and it was too late to influence the outcome. Kinda like Pfizer revealed their “vaccine” just a week AFTER Trump was up for re-election.
