WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING THIS?

Because it's crowded under than bridge, Richter.  It's powerful crowded.  And whatever the world might do to my kids, at least I can keep them out from under that bridge, at least til they're adults.  Til they've had a childhood.

That's the finish line, Richter.

And that may very well be the most awful thing I've ever said here.

Actually i find it touching. My failing vocabulary cant come up with another adjective.

It was Hoover.

Here we go...

QuoteOn 28 July, 1932, Attorney General Mitchell ordered the police evacuation of the Bonus Army veterans, who resisted; the police shot at them, and killed two. When told of the killings, President Hoover ordered the U.S. Army to effect the evacuation of the Bonus Army from Washington, D.C.

At 4:45 p.m., commanded by Gen. Douglas MacArthur, the 12th Infantry Regiment, Fort Howard, Maryland, and the 3rd Cavalry Regiment, supported by six battle tanks commanded by Maj. George S. Patton, Fort Myer, Virginia, formed in Pennsylvania Avenue while thousands of Civil Service employees left work to line the street and watch the U.S. Army attack its own veterans. The Bonus Marchers, believing the display was in their honour, cheered the troops until Maj. Patton charged the cavalry against them — an action which prompted the Civil Service employee spectators to yell, "Shame! Shame!"

After the cavalry charge, infantry, with fixed bayonets and adamsite gas, entered the Bonus Army camps, evicting veterans, families, and camp followers. The veterans fled across the Anacostia River, to their largest camp; President Hoover ordered the Army assault stopped, however, Gen. MacArthur—feeling this free-speech exercise was a Communist attempt at overthrowing the U.S. Government—ignored the President and ordered a new attack. Hundreds of veterans were injured, several were killed — including William Hushka and Eric Carlson; a veteran's wife miscarried; and many other veterans were hurt.

I liked being a cog.  I went home at the end of the night (yes the night, because while there are many kinds of bullshit I can tolerate, rush hour is not one of them) and I knew what I had accomplished.  It wasn't glorious, I didn't make money or increase the stock price or any bullshit like that.  I just fixed things, gave a little grease to other cogs who didn't know how to do it themselves.  And I got *payed* for it.  I put up with fifty kinds of bullshit from The Machine for that, to get payed for doing something I'd have done for free.

It didn't last though, The Machine saw to that finally, just up and collapsed the whole pile of cogs in an effort to be more efficient.  It was like it wanted to die.  The control cogs, they knew exactly what they needed to do to keep things running but The Machine demanded they be more efficient, use less cogs.  So pieces didn't get replaced, others didn't get greased, and then the whole thing collapsed when the new work order from The Machine said to double output.

That was why we had all those extra cogs for after all, wasn't it?  The ones that hadn't been replaced?

So they tossed me, and everyone else, out, and I found out just how lucky i was to have been a repair cog.  Nobody else uses those anymore, not locally.  They'd rather send parts to Mexico for service.  Where instead of a quick service the part will sit for days, then get marked fixed and sent back with no work done.

I think The Machine wants to die.  Or else it just has this horrible disease thats killing it.  Like an organ transplant rejection.  which is really bad, cause they're *all* transplanted now.  Our cogs are transplanted from India and out parts are transplants from China, and the bosses are transplants from whatever bizzaro world spawned the idea that next quarters profit's can suffer as long as this quarter's improve.

So the machine is dying, or trying to kill itself, and I'm running out of places to try and fit into, as they collapse one by one.

There are always more cogs.  What you are seeing is The Machine™ growing, and assimilating nations where labor is cheap and life is cheaper.
