It's a blast from the past in this early morning throwback to a bygone era. Buck's got issues and now, you're gonna hear about 'em.
Being Essential
$50k Paperweights
401k Taxes
Walk-In Tubs
The grass is always greener, for one of these co-hosts is essential and one is not. If only they could switch places. Seriously though you'd think that no one has ever delivered a pizza before, but while we suck off Amazon driver's who are spitting on your stuff when yesterday you wouldn't have even looked them in the eye and said "Thank you" there are whole shadow industries of "Essential" employees you don't even know about, where's there facebook felation?
Every time some hot new technology comes out companies and especially the public sector has to get on it. Remember smartboards? We needed to spend a billion dollars to put smartboards in schools. Then remember how the smartboards just weren't used? Yeah fuck you guys, instead of spending a fortune on robots that don't work just hire a human for the price you paid for a robot.
In yet another way boomers have absolutely ruined the world and deserve this virus that is wiping them out, 401ks are the biggest bunch of bullshit there is. Boomers completely wiped out the function of savings accounts and money market accounts, but they wanted their free lunch so they invented 401ks. You pay in and your employer matches just a little bit. Then 30 years from now you pay a shitload of taxes at the new tax rate on money that only barely stayed ahead of inflation. But they made it even better, because boomers can't wait to spend the money "THEY EARNED" they made it so you could early withdraw. Boomers at financial institutions were losing big bucks by letting you spend your own money so they lobbied congress and now Buck owes $5k in taxes. Thanks Obama.
Walk-In tubs, Buck and I couldn't disagree more on this one, I want a walk in Tub but I want it to be a standing shower where you fill it to your neck and just slightly float. If you just rinsed the thing out before your first go round this would have been a do-get but instead it's a don't.
All that plus I get way too drunk, condolences for Buck in the voicemails, and the a news story full of crack. Plus your very last chance to vote for April's Quarantine Commentary!
