Contagion of Stress


The “clusterfuck” contagion continues unabated, and it’s getting worse. The global bond market is collapsing, and going down with it is the IRA bond fund in the personal investment portfolio. The fund NAV (net asset value) is down over $3 per share, so $8,000 (about $170 per day) has disappeared so far. Oh well.

There was ample opportunity to move the entire balance to the IRA money market fund when the NAV was at its peak. However, no effort was made. Why? Surely, the loss was an affront to the miserly ways? Apparently not.

A $20 charge appeared today from the FOIA agency. The original FOIA request was not lost in the ether after all. So, there are now two expensive copies of the same FOIA document supposedly scheduled for arrival within six weeks. Contact was made by e-mail again with the associated agency to query whether one of the charges can be reversed.

As can be imagined, stress is now at an all-time high. There is no guarantee that the FOIA document will arrive in the stated period. It could magically appear six months from now. At that point in time, the existing claim on the annuity payout will be nullified.

Well, the only reduction in stress was the fulfillment of the maintenance request last Thursday for the mausoleum at the “old folks home” in Waikiki. Thank Molech!

The coupon discount for Subway® expired on Friday, a day earlier than advertised. There will be a return to Panda Express® for dinner at Ala Moana Center commencing tomorrow. Wheee!

Congratulations to whistleblower Edward Snowden! He received full citizenship in the Russian Federation. He will live a better life there while the “West” collapses. Few people in empire even appreciate what he had exposed. That kind of insouciance has brought the Fascists to power.

Apple® has removed all Russian social media “apps,” as if that act will settle the Ukraine conflict. A technology corporation should not peddle its “woke” agenda upon its customers.

Miscellany: The remaining stock of face masks have been donated. Good riddance!
