China Problem

 Last week, I read a piece over 'leftover' Chinese women.

Generally, when you refer to 'leftover' Chinese gals....it means they are over 27 years old, still single, still looking for a 'decent' guy, and fairly frustrated.  The statistics here?  Unknown, and the Chinese government certainly doesn't want to go and collect this data.  If you browse around....it suggests that one in five women over age 27 are single.

The real issue here?  Well...a lot of these women are educated, somewhat successful, and really don't want 'losers'.

So the piece I was reading came from the director of a Chinese think-tank that looks at social issues.  The guy says that these women should go out into the rural regions of China to find a guy.   

I sat and pondered over this suggestion.

Generally, I suspect that Chinese women are going to laugh over this guy's advice and comment that rural guys are way down on their list.  If you stayed around the farm or rural area....you probably didn't advance that far in life (at least that's the way that things would seem).  

Where this will lead onto?  I suspect in the next decade, a few of these 30-year old Chinese women will finally take the plunge....looking for non-Chinese guys and leave China.

Optics Story

 So the whole reason for marginal or minimum security on the 6th of January....was a decision by Rep Pelosi.....concerned about 'optics' of having the National Guard in place?  

Yeah....more or less.  That came out in yesterday's news.

I'm one of those people who believe that you hire people to be in charge of things....who have responsibility and tend to see beyond 'optics'.  None of this business should have been left for Pelosi to handle.  

What happens now?  The chatter is that 1,000 additional Capital Police will be hired....with a security fencing deal to be put up around the Capital building. 

Having been there and walked around the structure....you probably will spend well over one-billion (Washington DC rates) for this stupid 'wall'.  

Renaming the Capital building 'Green-Zone, DC'?  It wouldn't shock me if the fencing or wall is green, and this immediately comes up.  Giving Trump ammo to continue chatting over border walls?  Absolutely.

The optics of this?  It's best not to even talk over that problem.
