Rant #3,260: What I Want

Well, I want a lot of things as we go full throttle into 2024, and I do think that most of the things I want are fully attainable.

I want to walk again.

I want to drive again.

I want to contribute to and help.out my family again.

I want more money coming into my family's coffers.

The last one actually is happening, as minimum wage went up to $16 an hour where we are, which gives my son a nice $1 an hour increase.

The problem with this is that employers are going to have to find the money to.pay for this increase, which means some lower-wage workers will certainly lose their jobs and the cost if goods and services will increase.

And Social Security payments are rising 3 percent or so, which directly impacts myself, my wife and my son.

The problem with this is thst with things going up as they have been, the increase doesn't cover much of anything, and will be eaten up by these increasing costs.

So it is nice to see a little more money in the coffers, but the money won't cover very much of anything.

I want the war in the Middle East to end, but being realistic, the ball has been in Hamas' court since Day One, and being terrorists, they go by their own playbook ... meaning thst everything logical is just the opposite in their minds, so not much is going to happen of a positive nature until they are obliterated.

I do believe that Isrsel darn well knows what it is doing, and damn those who support terrorism over freedom.

I want my life back, and slowly and surely, that is going to happen.

I had physical therapy yesterday which pretty much wiped me out, but I am ready for the next stage of my redemption, and I will do whatever I can to get better and back to where I should be.

And I want AXS TV, the cable rock.outlet that was recently removed from Verizon Fios TV's channel.lineup because they could not come to a carriage agreement.

As I have been recuperating, I have watched about two hours a day of AXS TV's programming, but more importantly, the station carried TNA Impact Wrestling, which my son enjoys immensely.

With the channel gone from the lineup, we will have to go to ridiculous means to watch the pro wrestling show each week, but we will do the best we can.

And those are a few things that I want ... 

Pretty please?
