Reply #10: This morning my alarm clock didn't go off. [View All]

because it was made by Chinese workers paid 5 cents an hour using poor quality parts and no standards, then sold for pennies to Wal-Mart, where I bought it for $20. Luckily, I have an internal alarm clock and I woke up at 4 am anyway. It was powered by the TVA, an electric company built by the government during the 1st RepubliCON Great Depression and sold for pennies on the dollar, at a loss to the government, to a corporation. The corporation has failed to keep up maintenance on the plant and existing distribution system so that the electricity goes out whenever there is snow, rain, or high winds.

Then I took a shower with the water barely trickling out of the shower head because the water company bought up the local government built water distribution system and yet again a water main had busted (because they failed to put any money into maintenance).

The house I live in built by Centex Homes, sold to me by a Century 21 real estate agent, and mortgaged by Citibank. Will soon be owned again by Citibank because it's value has dropped over 30%. I owe more than it is worth. I'm mailing off the keys to the bank in two months and will be renting my neighbor's first story apartment for a third of my current mortgage payments.

After that, I turned on my Panasonic television but the electricity went out two weeks ago and crashed the cheap Panasonic, it hasn't worked since. I purchased it for $500 with a Washington Mutual credit card but they suddenly jacked up my rates and now what had been a $40 charge has grown to a $150 charge and I canceled the card. I wanted to listen to a local NBC Corporation affiliate to hear their team of hired meteorologists read from the NOAA weather forecast but I looked out the window instead.

While watching the birds freeze from the sudden frost in May, I ate my breakfast of eggs and bacon, both produced by a local farm and sold to me a the local Farmer's Market. The local grocery store had to recall all it's bacon and eggs last week because of salmonella poisoning. I took my prescribed medication and immediately got sick to my stomach. The doctor claimed it would help my ulcer but it only seems to make it worse. I wonder if Pfizer, GlaxoSmithKline, Astra-Zeneca, and Novartis bribed him to get him to prescribe a drug not designed or tested for ulcers.

When my Motorola-manufactured Cable Set Top Box suddenly and for no apparent reason, stopped working, I knew it was time to go. I got into my Toyota vehicle and set out to throw boxes at the Wal-Mart Distribution Center because my previous employer, a graphic design corporation had moved their offices to China. I was going to stop to purchase some gasoline refined by BP, which had destroyed all the beaches affected by the jet stream, but the accelerator got stuck and I drove right by the station. On the way to my workplace, I crossed the picket line of striking workers to drop off a package at the local UPS store for delivery, and drooped my children off at the local elementary school. The school is hard to find because it looks almost like an abandoned building, ever since the Charter School corporation took it over. There are rumors that the corporation is skimming off funding and not maintaining the buildings.

Then, after spending another day not being maimed or killed at work thanks to a recent lawsuit by former Wal-Mart workers that forced management to follow safety standards, I drove back to my house which had burned down because I forgot to unplug the coffee pot and it started a fire. I was able to rest easy knowing that I had an Allstate insurance policy which I thought would cover fires. But they had declared bankruptcy last week and the likelihood of them ever paying my claim were nil to none. The agent on the phone said they wouldn't have paid anyway because he claimed coffee pot fires were not covered by the insurance. He even quoted a recent Supreme Court ruling claiming coffee pot fires were exempt from general fire protection clauses.

I moved in early with my neighbor and then tried to log onto the internet, but Comcast cable wasn't working, rain don't you know, how rain affects underground cables I haven't figured out yet but that's what my neighbor said the woman on the phone told him when he called to complain. After 2 hours, I was able to log on to DU and found some freeper, probably paid by a corporate front group, posting, "Corporations are wonderful, corporations are good, corporations are people too."
