The temperature outside is over 100 degrees as we go into evening, and the wall thermometer in my bedroom reads “90 Degrees” — the air-conditioner seems to have crapped out.
So here I am at my desk in my office, where the air is somewhat cooler, but now I’m faced with the fact that I’m tired, but there’s nowhere to lie down where it’s cool.
You probably face a similar situation, if the temperature is abnormally hot tonight where you are, but none of this compares with the news tonight, that Roe was overturned.
That amounts to a declaration of war, and the division between red states and blue states can only be deepened. What that means for you is, prepare to try to avoid open conflict — at least try to stay away from the roving gangs and the inevitable storm troopers.
They always have storm troopers for the roundups to fill the labor camps with women, children, old folks, LGBTQ people and of course, Democrats and other socialists, making way for the New World Order, a christian tradition since 2022.
Don’t forget that this breakdown is what they want to have happen, so that they can be lifted up in the Great Rapture, which accurately describes the experience of being suddenly vaporized by a nuclear explosion.
That’s nothing compared to what it feels like to have to find somewhere to have an illegal abortion, or to openly associate with known gay people, or to go to the wrong church.
It could be worse. You could be in a synagogue, and I wouldn’t go around cross-dressing right now if I were you.
What I would do is sit at home with a guard dog at my side, but that’s the way I deal with this stuff — sell everything and run like Hell.
There’s no argument that’s going to get you out of conflict. No amount of reason and rationality will help here.
People tend to enslave people, in two groups, the victims and the victimizers, and there’s nothing you can do to prevent it from happening, but there IS a solution, which is to look away, ignore the whole passing parade, the meat-grinder of life itself, learning to accept the lesson: Stay Away From Earth.
Oh, well, what the hell, nobody thought it could happen here. A half century ago, I warned folks that this was coming, and I wasn’t the only one who said something — there were plenty of warnings and plenty of opportunity to avoid the crash, but now, here it comes, but don’t worry — I have a solution to the coming conflict:
Fashions For World War III
That’s right, fashions — and cosmetics, and toothpaste and footwear and scarves and cups and dinnerware and accessories.
World War III, piffle! Forget the friggin’ war! Roe v. Wade poo-poo! Red v Blue conflict foo-foo!
Forget all that! There’s fashion news to be made!
SlimeWars is a book, upon which this videogame is based. If you’ve read SlimeWars, written over 50 years ago, you’ll know everything you need to know to navigate through the next 25,000 years.
Everything that’s going on right now was accurately predicted.
No secret, no special scrying or crystal ball reading. I’m a history student from the 37th century, as I’ve said many times, and I’m just recalling my history.
Accuracy is not guaranteed. I pulled a “D” in history last semester, and I’m working hard on my Term Paper to make up for it.
I need at least a 2.5 average, or I don’t get my allowance. Without my allowance, I’d have to eat the local food. What a horrifying prospect, far worse than any world conflagration.
Here’s an example of how you could play this game. Suppose this dress design was yours.
Okay, let’s do the math. This dress is $77.42 when you buy it on zazzle, and they drop-ship directly to you — not sure what the postage would be, but it’s not prohibitive … yet. Just wait until that Trump postmaster does something as wacky as what he did when he first got there.
Okay — you’ve uploaded your design onto the product, and listed it for sale at $77.42.
When you get an order for this dress, it will be in one of several available sizes, as indicated by your client.
So now you SIGN the dress or you can have your own label attached or both, and pack the dress in a boutique box and then ship it with an invoice for whatever you’ve retailed the dress, say $225.00, which would be the boutique retail price.
This dress, if you found it in Yuba Blue, one of our local boutiques, it would be at LEAST that much, maybe more, and the same is true of all the other boutiques in town.
There is no absolute retail price for anything. It’s all a question of information. How many of these are they? How common or how rare? Does absolutely EVERYONE want one of these? Do people ask you where you got that dress?
Desirability.
That’s what it’s all about at this level, where you’re not trying to beat the price of your competitors, you’re setting your own worth and value, and your artwork doesn’t come cheap.
You want cheap? There’s plenty of it, no paucity of cheap anywhere. If it’s class you’re after, you’ve come to the right place.
That’s how you’ve GOT to think, if you’re going to survive the Third World War through fashion apparel, miracle cosmetics, and of course — accessories.
Even Cleopatra knew, “It’s not how you dress, it’s how you accessorize.”
All my zazzle prices are actually wholesale. I take anywhere from 5% up to 22% for most of the items on zazzle, which is less than I’d take if I did the actual manufacture myself, but I’m saved a lot of time and expense.
Zazzle handles the manufacture, storage of inventory, packing, shipping, invoicing and customer complaints services, all for about 30%, as it works out.
The end result is, to make money on zazzle, you can’t sell it on zazzle. There’s really no comfortable and predictable way to browse the site, but the way it’s commonly used, as a party planner, it doesn’t much matter.
There are no retail customers for your stuff, only for their own stuff. After a while on the site, you’ll get the feel of it, come to understand what it is, and what it isn’t.
Here’s a culotte that cost me $189 to have custom-tailored to my specs, so $275 is a little too close for comfort. Today’s price would be more like $389, with no apologies — everything is more expensive, especially luxury goods like these.
There’s more, much, much more, on zazzle, redbubble and other venues, but I’m headed toward creating a shop on my own website, taking orders for items, ordering them and having them drop-shipped.
My point is that you could do the same. There’s nothing preventing you from doing what I’m doing, except maybe you.
It’s hard to get started, I know, but once you take the first tiny baby step, you’re already well on your way, because the first step is the hardest.
Well, what IS the first step?
You’ll want a step-by-step guide for this, which you can get at our morning meetings.
See You At The Top!!!
