June 30, 2020Supply Chain and Other Economic Oddities
Once the pandemic started, things got weird. Suddenly, everyone was out of toilet paper. Store shelves empty. People doing without. Probably a surge in home bidet sales too. And hell if I know why. Personally, I wasn’t dropping any more deuces than usual. The same happened with cleaners and other paper products. At least that made sense.
Then, it was ground meat. Around here, I couldn’t find it. Fortunately for me, I have a meat grinder and that and some chuck and fat make ground beef. And a Boston butt, with some seasoning, can be turned into breakfast or Italian sausage. It only recently resurfaced.
Eggs went through the same cycle but I couldn’t find anything to run through the meat grinder to make them.
Then, I saw signs like this:
Not that big a deal. Just meant I couldn’t enjoy my occasional caffeine-free diet Coke.
One of my kids’ dumb-dick friends broke the control panel on the hot tub. The replacement part
, I was warned, was taking longer than the usual three days to get in and that it would take 10 days or so. It was ordered in May. It got here yesterday.
Chicken wings. Kind of a tradition here that, once per week, I make the kids chicken wings. They love them. I haven’t seen a chicken wing in a store in two months.
A friend of mine is in the furniture business. In April, his business was 15% of what it usually was. In May and June, it’s 150% of what it usually was. My home sales have been through the roof. My theory is everyone was stuck at home and realized they didn’t like the home or the furniture and they had the time to look around.
But the weirdest one to me was the day I couldn’t find pickles. Particularly Claussen pickles. My kids love them. Personally
, I prefer to make my own and do. But I couldn’t find any Claussen pickles. Or any other pickles that are kept refrigerated. I didn’t check the non-refrigerated kind at the store because we don’t eat those. But, really, pickles. Makes as much sense as toilet paper, I suppose.
You can’t stop the virtue signal
I’ve been noticing it a lot lately. And, today, I decided to document all the virtue signalling I am subjected to. This started at about 8 am this morning and by 9:15, I saw all of this:
Wanting to be left out of all of it is not good enough.
PC Charger Update
Putting it together, I made a mistake of having the stock fold to the left side.
This seemed easier to operate but it also did the following:
*Hit the charging handle.
*Interfered with the sling.
*And it interfered with the grip.

Roberts, again
SCOTUS Denies Cert In Pending 2A Cases. Roberts is the gift that keeps on giving
, isn’t he?
The strategy of winning at the courts seems to be failing.
Good
In light of recent events:
“2,000 people joined NAAGA (National African American Gun Association – Ed) in 36 hours after George Floyd
,” said founder Philip Smith. “That broke our records. We’re getting a ton of folks from all over.”
Pathetic
The police show up to search an 11 year-old’s bedroom because some pearl-clutcher saw a BB gun during an online school meeting.
Leather
Graphic images at link, you’ve been warned. This looks more like a case against leather holsters to me.
Interesting
Joe went and visited Soymalia err Veganzuela err Emo Jiwa err CHAZ err CHOP and has photos.
In Chicago
, a new record. I’m certain the Black Lives Matter folks will pay serious attention to this.
Machine gun case advancing through courts
Good
Trump’s Bump Stock Ban Is Under Fire From His Own Judicial Appointees
Kavanaugh was critical of it too. This was a bad executive decision that
, in a reasonable world, could not stand judicial scrutiny.
Heh
The fastest socialists ever went hungry.
Meanwhile
, I’m certain all those going on about armed insurrection from right wing zealots are in a rush to condemn CHAZ, right?
Wrongthink
Noted gun expert Joe Biden
He has a history of saying dumb things about guns
, the latest:
Instead of standing there and teaching a cop when theres an unarmed person coming at em with a knife or something to shoot em in the leg instead of the heart is a very different thing
Unarmed and with a knife! Also
, if one has to shoot someone in self defense, you shoot to stop. Not to kill or to wound.
Ruger LCP 22LR
A look over at LuckyGunner. I’m sort of torn on this one. Given its size relative to the LCP 380, I’d weigh the caliber a bit. On the other, in 22LR, I don’t have to invest in another caliber. On the third hand
, the capacity is noce.
Life in the future
Elmer Fudd becomes a real Fudd because the “reboot” will not put guns in the episodes. Cannons and scythes
, sure. Guns, nope. Also, hunting rabbits with a scythe sounds totally realistic.
The future is stupid.
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
