Observations

 1.  This past week, Senator Warren came out and said there ought to be a federal investigation of oil companies CEOs and executives.  After pondering over it....I'd welcome a federal investigation of all Senators salaries, investing habits, and actual wealth.  

2.  This Senate bill passing....making items built/assembled by Chinese slave labor illegal to be imported into the US?  In the end, the Chinese will just re-label the labor folks....calling them 'free-men' who owe a debt to the Chinese government.  As a token of their good will....there will be an extra bowl of rice soup each day, and a half-glass of beer offered on Thursdays.

3.  Is Afghanistan about to collapse?  Well....if you go and glean through all the news sources....there's a slowdown in the flow of food within the country.  Over the past twenty years.....they commercialized their market system, and the Taliban has failed to grasp how the system functioned.  A massive mess spiraling into a January 'rescue-us' mess?  Probably.  US cargo aircraft will be demanded to tons of food will have to be brought into the country.

4.  If Build-Back-Better fails....what comes next?  For 2022.....I might go and predict a second agenda effort....renamed of course.  The fact that various Democrats are in a fear mode over the campaign season arriving shortly?  Yeah.
