What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 259 & BENKYO RADIO 259.

I’d like to once again give a big shout out to my DOGS, who work very hard, grumbling, obeying orders, while billionaires/millionaires make billions/millions which is total bullshit. It’s a fucking pandemic, and people at the top are exploiting it. I want you to invest $50 this week in Dogecoin and let it sit for 5 years. You will not regret it. Bernie Sanders is old, he knows, you know it. He will have to pass the baton eventually. But, for the time being, you need to listen to him. Listen to all his wisdom. We must help the common people. Millions of Americans are suffering. We need that $1,400 stimulus checks asap, then we need a $2,000/check every month retroactively since the pandemic, until the pandemic is over.

Why can’t Biden pass #FreeTuition?

Goddamnit, we helped you win the election. I’m hearing from students that they want $50,000 in tuition costs erased. Make it happen. You can’t tell these kids to get an education then drown in debts. Help them, please.

Dear President Biden, we will listen to you, but you must listen to us too.

We want Medicare For All. Take the fight to these goddamn insurance companies. Thank you in advance.

Please, when the COVID-19 vaccine is available to you, take it, if you want to return to a normal way of life. It’s been too long. We miss hugging our family and friends. Take the vaccination shot. We need normalcy. If the vaccine is available to me in March, I will take it then. It’s if available in April, I will take it then. It’s it’s in May, I will take May. Whenever it is fucking available, I am taking it. If the vaccine is available to you and you do not take it, you are being selfish. Millions of people around the world are impatiently waiting for their vaccination shot.

Wear a mask!

Dogecoin to the Moon!

Until next time!
