The first one is short, but important. Yesterday was Primary day in NY. I did not vote. Sorry. I can’t stand ANY of the candidates. I do plan to vote in November. But trying to choose between them now just wasn’t going to happen.
And second….
W.T.F. is it with trying to monetize every single “holiday”?? It’s not bad enough that Walmart started a craze last fall for lighting up your house with green bulbs to “support a vet” (seriously, EVERY SINGLE retailer out there was sold out of green lightbulbs for months). Now it’s “Light it up Blue for Autism“, though I understand that this has actually been around for a couple years, but this year major retailers have jumped on the bandwagon after the money making scheme of Walmart’s green bulb campaign.
Buying a lightbulb doesn’t do a damn thing to help the folks who actually need help. It’s just a pretty light on your front porch to make you feel good. You REALLY want to help a vet? Find one in your local community and hire him or her for something. Or go find one of the good charities that help support the vets in need and donate to them. You REALLY want to help find a cure for autism, or help support the autistic kids who need extra assistance? Go find one of the good charities that does that. Do your research though, there are some pretty crappy “charities” out there, and some of them are pretty damn big names too. Don’t buy a lightbulb.
