The Vibes Economy 1: Beef it's for Christmas dinner unless you're Jason "Storm Chaser" Nelson of Texass

There's a stupid joke I remember riffing on the Teach a man to fish parable that adds this bon mot;

Teach a man to create an artificial shortage of fish and he eats steak...

On Christmas Eve, an All-Hat, No-Cattle Texas right-winger who claims to be 100% permanently disabled, named Jason Nelson posted an X-Tweet about the outrageous price of Prime Rib, 

No response from Nelson
$313.52!!!

Like all outrages from Republicans it's done in such Bad Faith you'd think Jesus would strike down all these modern day Pharisees.  But, since Jesus is busy being blown apart by the IDF in Gaza it was up to the remaining Twitter fighters to drag Nelson.  For instance, he  elided the fact it was a 16.51lb prime rib with 7 ribs attached or $18.99 a pound.  When this and other responses undercutting his bullshit was pointed out to him Nelson decided to Just Tweet through it and responded with spite, vitriol, childish your mom style insults.

Now, I am gladdened that Nelson spent his Christmas angry and upset, and not paying attention to his wife and 4 children, and instead responded to everyone who rightly questioned his bullshit. But, interestingly Nelson didn't respond to the people who absolutely dragged him for what he does as a side-business; selling freeze-dried beef at over $50-a-pound.

No response from Nelson
I've known a couple of dishonorable veterans who gamed the system to get a disability rating from the VA.  Did Nelson do this to get a 100% disabled rating?  Well, going by his disingenuous (at best) tweets and the bevy of other falsehoods he spouts it lends credence to the idea that Jason Nelson is lying about his "disability".

I also look askew at any Veteran who self-proclaims to be "highly decorated" while also having changed branches of service.  Nelson's pathetically failed congressional candidacy includes a picture of him as an Army Staff Sergeant.  And he might have had a completely honorable very brave time in the service.  But, I highly doubt it.  Nelson has signed himself up to be a solider in The Lost Cause, the eternal War on America conservatives gleefully sign up for.

It shows how much the Rightwing Media Chamber and propaganda comapign of the Republicans has warped and distorted the minds of so many, especially white men in America.  Nelson thought he'd be a good foot solider for the Republicans and fire a salvo in the Bideneconomics battle.  

It shows us that these people are not reachable.  Nelson spent his Christmas attacking libtards, #OwningtheLibs, and was ecstatic that Newsweek wrote a piece about him.  Don't waste your time trying to change their minds.  We have to utterly defeat the vile evil lying Fascist wannabes like Jason Nelson, because what they have in mind if they secure power is nothing less than the End of the United States and the ushering in of a NeoConfederate Slave State held aloft be the pillars of White Power and Fascist Fundamentalism.
