Friday Night Open Thread: Mad As Helots and Not Going To Take It Anymore

Virtouso-signalling, here:

Virtuoso expressions of righteous rage. Just a sample from the article:

A world, this world, where one can at the SAME TIME have insanely high unemployment numbers AND insanely high demand for labor, could only be created by either sociopathic Marxists who know good and well what they’re doing or well-meaning but economically illiterate fools.

Regardless, that’s the place we found ourselves at this point, a place where small and medium businesses are struggling for their very survival even as our ‘loving’ government pays workers to sit on the couch and watch Netflix.

Clearly, the Democrats’ plan, as per usual, is to create the crisis, then offer a ‘solution’ to said crisis that directly aids their quest for permanent political power.

In this case, the ‘solution’ is mass immigration, even as they purposefully keep American workers on the couch, er, bench by essentially bribing them to stay out of the labor market. It’s absolutely disgusting, but such tactics are par for the course with these jackals.

‘Crazy’ bird-killing ANTS that can fire ACID at their prey are removed from a remote Pacific island after aggressive invasive species was accidentally introduced from Asia
Daily Mail | 6/24/2021

US Fish and Wildlife Service said the yellow crazy ant has finally been successfully removed from Johnston Atoll National Wildlife Refuge

The atoll is in the Pacific Ocean, roughly 820 miles southwest of Honolulu.

The last sighting of a yellow crazy ant was in December 2017.

Yellow crazy ants, which originated in Southeast Asia, stalk seabirds on the atoll.

They spray formic acid on the birds, causing injuries and even death.

Yellow crazy ants are ‘scavenging predators,’ with diets that include grains, seeds and have been known to attack and dismember land crabs, earthworms and other insects.
