There’s so much that’s so serious, would poking fun, a little, relieve stress?
For me, it may be working, already. I’ve been poking fun, some, and I’m getting some relief.
Maybe I should consider requesting an emergency use authorization for my stress relief remedy? Like those big pharma companies have been doing, with their vaccines?
In the Daily Post, I poked fun at businesses merging with one another… when a merger is said to be ‘a merger of equals.’
I poked fun at the Sunshine State, with my headline, ‘Be Thankful You’re Not Florida’, in an article I wrote, recently, about Florida politicians going after Disney World.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis got the state’s lawmakers to pass a bill stripping Disney of its privileges of self-governance. This was “in retaliation for its opposition to the so-called ‘Don’t Say Gay’ law,” according to an article in The Hollywood Reporter.
“A lawsuit challenging the law was widely expected… The complaint also takes aim at Florida lawmakers ‘threatening to take thousands of jobs’ from the state in retaliation for protected speech. It argues Florida is violating Disney’s constitutional rights.”
Like golfers on Florida golf links, teed off taxpayers are about to tee off on the state’s lawmakers.
That ought to be amusing!
Kidney stones. There was something about them, the other morning, in a story suggesting what folks should consider eating – or avoiding – to keep kidney stones at bay.
‘Shrinkflation’ was in the news as well.
With Russia’s war on Ukraine and the COVID pandemic still stirring things up and causing inflation, some food companies are doing what they’ve sometimes done before. They’re putting less grub in food containers and packages, that are made to look about the same size as containers and packages shoppers have been accustomed to seeing on store shelves.
That’s some deal for shoppers! Less food, but more air in bags of food. At least eating air shouldn’t cause kidney stones… unless, for some reason, it might?
You know those spam emails and phone calls? I got a real doozy, an email saying I could be the beneficiary of some big money… if I’m not “one of the deceased.”
Poking fun, some… at an email, kidney stones, shrinkflation, and Florida taxpayers taking a big swing at Ron DeSantis, and the other Florida lawmakers… shouldn’t a little stress relief be on the way?
