Does that not mean they’d have to crush progressives?

(And, as always, the satire portion becomes less and less relevant given we are talking about progressives.)

Yet another reason I would never live in a city.

I love your semi-satire articles.
Keep up the good work!

I used to read John's Semi News/Semi Satire because I though it was wickedly clever social commentary.

Now, in the “you just can't make that stuff up” farcical absurdity of the current political climate, I read it as a challenge to sort the news component from the satirical side.

It's kind of gotten to be like those picture puzzles in the newspapers where you try to find what is wrong or different between two drawings and some times takes some very close scrutiny to discern the which is the satire component.

In a sense, that makes John's work even more of a valid social commentary on the increasingly Kafkaesque and bizzaro world we currently find ourselves living in where reality is far stranger than any fiction we could have imagined pre 2008

The garbage perusal comment is only semi-satire. I read a while back that in England, they accept tattle-tale tips from neighbors on substandard trash sorting.

Remember Michelle 0’s idea to set up cameras at school cafeteria trash cans so they could track what students throw a away? I wonder if they ever followed through on that project. They had set aside a ridiculous among of money to fund it.

City will empower trash collectors to examine a family’s discards to determine whether any items found could have been recycled.

Isn't that already a practice in some places?

What if the said food could also be considered toxic waste? Not to disparage any one in particular cooking but some individuals have been know to produce such items.

I can see some conflicts of interest for many liberals here. Should go after people who throw away food they would ban given the chance?

Would this include large vats of lard from a person seeking a healthier live style?

What if a prepped has seen the true blue liberal light (went a fell in love with tree hugger) and has become a full blown vegan. Would they be forced to give their100 cases of ding dongs ( a food know to cause irrational behavior much like twikies ) to a less inform citizen of this earth? Would it not be a crime against humanity to give them to a homeless shelter?
