Survival

The SARS-Cov-2 pandemic, specifically the inane government inaction and subsequent reaction, has left everyone to fend for himself of herself. There is no “safety net” for the rank-and-file peons, just shit and bullshit. In that respect, the exodus is still operative. Survival is now the primary issue. And, with the central bank of empire invoking ZIRP permanently, there will be no dividends to rely upon. Money will be disappearing rapidly. Survival triage is necessary.

The new hair clippers were deployed with great apprehension. However, the result was quite surprisingly similar to the authentic monk haircut. The formerly-homeless buddy had purchased high-quality hair clippers many moons ago and highly recommended self-barbering. He was right. At this time, the stint as amateur barber will most likely become permanent. The latter decision will save $255 annually. Grooming and personal hygiene are important factors for survival.

The hoarding of asswipe paper continues to this day. Many people have recommended similar actions. However, a reasonable and free substitute is ready available in the form of biodegradable paper napkins from restaurants and fast food joints. And, paper towels are easily procured at public restrooms. Why spend so much money on disposables?

Between professional dental cleanings, an inexpensive dental tool kit is used for removing tartar and plaque every week. Supplemental brushing with baking soda is also standard practice to reduce coffee stains. Preventative dental care is important for survival.

Mummification of any dependencies is another crucial survival strategy, including unnecessary medical supplements. Personally, only the weaning of psyllium is all that’s left on the agenda. Cost-wise, coffee and the cellphone wireless plan are the only remaining reducible expenditures.
