Too
Subtle?
In 1973 inflation was at 6.2%, beef was hard to find
and prices were sky-high as a result of an earlier corn
blight, and fuel prices were through the roof thanks
to the Arab oil embargo.
Oh, and the President at that time was a Republican crook
who tried to trash the Constitution. He forced his Vice-President
to use a loophole in the law to stay out of jail.
The more things change...

Historical Precedent For This Comic or Why I Hate Conservative
Media
For you people in the future whose neural-transmitters
inadvertently led you to this web page I'd like to take
a moment to explain what this cartoon is all
about.
America at this moment in history has a relatively small
population of individuals who introduce poisonous chemicals
into their bodies,
a process which make them feel momentarily happy but
eventually ruins their lives.
We call them "drug addicts" though sometimes
they're also called "Olympic athletes".
The drug-induction method of choice for many of these
people is to heat a small concretion of these hazardous
chemical substances, often manufactured in bathtubs,
in a pipe
made of glass until it vaporizes whereupon it is inhaled
into the lungs. (Do not confuse this with the more socially
common custom of smoking cigarettes. That is an entirely
different way of drawing the heated vapors of dangerous
chemicals into the lungs in order to provide personal
enjoyment and/or cause cancer. Those particular chemicals
were created by global corporations, not in bathtubs.)
As though destroying one's lungs and/or brain by inhaling
such chemicals wasn't disastrous enough users of these
drugs would often share the glass pipe with one another
which, as a bonus, also spread any diseases they might
have. Our President at this time, the last legally-elected
President, Joseph Biden, in an effort to staunch such
transfer of disease,
allocated
a small portion of the undoubtably, by future standards,
quaint sounding sum of $30 million in public monies to "safe-smoking
kits" to be provided free to drug users. Other countries
have provided these kits to their citizens and found
that they have worked very well in reducing the spread
of disease.
Conservative media and the lizard-people, governmental
entities known in short as "The GOP", view
the current iteration of the First Amendment as a legal
right
to
lie about
everything if the result benefits them financially.
They have reacted to the President's program by describing
it as "giving
$30 million dollars worth of crack pipes to drug users".
Though categorically untrue this notion is currently
viewed as "bad" by anyone who would seriously
consider it, but only it if was a Democrat.
(Democrats are now what you might call a person who still
fires warning shots.)
The conservative media and
the lizard people chose to describe
the President's program
this way because their viewers/voters are a pack of ignorant,
hooting loonies whose brains are only capable of transient
thoughts, apart from their inborn adoration of firearms
and a similarly inbred violent dislike of anyone with
noticeably darker skin.
Thus, by
keeping the aforementioned loonies heads constantly
filled with such disinformation
they
were
easily
convinced
to
vote for
reality-TV con men who eventually turned your country
into the dystopian Hell-hole it now is. If you doubt
me please deactivate your neural-transmitters and read
the history of
America
from
2000 to 2022 and you'll
find [MESSAGE REDACTED]
