Bus Stile Adventures - Diplomatic Cahiers

Bus Stile Adventures

Diplomatic Cahiers

By

Wes “ANON” Flexner

I don’t know if it’s supply and demand. I don’t know if it’s Covid.
I don’t know if Trump, and his friends are waging economic sanctions within our country for criticizing the January 6th attack. I don’t know if someone wants to punish Chairman of the Budget Committee Bernie Sanders for tweeting criticism of wealthy companies by name. I don’t know if this correlates with the raised wages at places like Kroger, and Walmart.

I don’t know if this correlates with the fact Russia invaded Ukraine. Our country is supplying Ukraine with weapons which appears there is some sort of conflict between our country and Russia.

I don’t know if Republican Governor Abbot blocking agriculture shipping which cost our country $240 million dollars had something do with with it.

http://www.cnn.com/2022/04/17/opinions/greg-abbott-texas-border-policies...

Texas governor reversed this costly block which Texas Agriculture’s Commission called "Political Theater."

I can’t call myself Rosie The Riveter if the guy sanctioning The United States of America's economy is the governor of Texas.

I pay 62 dollars for a monthly COTA pass. While I’ve looked at BP’s gas drop price from over 4 dollars to 3.65.
I don’t eat that economic sanctions from Russia, Trump or the Q-Anon shamen.

My Bus pass costs 62 dollars a month.

If I am out later than 10....

I Lyft, Uber or Dublin Taxi home.

My new Litterature Engagee is Bus Stile Adventures. I finally recovered from Resistance writing to admit my graffiti name is ANON….if you haven’t known me for 20 years…or aren’t involved with graffiti history.

Recently, I walked outside my house. I wanted to purchase Aspirin. It was over $5 dollars at a corporate owned store.

I looked at my phone ...Whole Foods aspirin was under three dollars. I took the number 1 to the 33 and purchased aspirin.

I was in a good mood. It was Easter.

Transmitter Fundraiser Success

A quick update:
Thanks to everyone who helped WCRS in our time of we need. We are now back on the air on 98.3 FM with a new transmitter that will be able to bring community radio to the airwaves of Central Ohio for many years into the future. It wouldn't have been possible without the generous outpouring of support from you our listeners.

WCRS Transmitter Replacement Fundraiser

WCRS is in need of a new transmitter. 98.3 has been off the air due to a transmitter failure. We are a non-commercial, listener supported community radio station. WCRS is a volunteer, non-profit radio station that relies on grants and donations from our listeners. If you support local arts and radio we need your help keeping our station alive. Any amount helps and we greatly appreciate you!
