Ten Questions

 1.  Will there ever be a point over the next decade where you walk around and no one is wearing a mask?

No.  That day will not exist, unless you confine yourself to some ultra-rural area where you just get out to buy gas, pick up mail at some rural post office, and avoid civilization entirely.

2.  Is the Pentagon going to 'spy' on military members social media?

Well....the suggestion is there.  But the obvious question....if you have people monitoring....who are monitoring the monitors?  

3.  Could people get so dependent on the government....that they could survive without 'free money'?

That probably occurred in the 1970s, and has been on the agenda ever since.

4.  Did Obama basically admit UFOs are real?

Well....he gave a statement and just said stuff to prepare you for the next reality.

5.  Could 12-year-old kids successfully (using fake ID) trade stock?

First, you'd ask 'why', and after you settle that question....the rest of the answer is 'yes'.

But if the 12-year-old kid figured futures and trends....there's nothing holding him back from being a millionaire by age 21.  

6.  Why are more nutcases showing up at airports and on planes....triggering fights and assaults?

Mostly a trend with drugs and alcohol.  I might even go and suggest the trend will envelop churches eventually.

7.  Talk of this 4th stimulus check?

Yep, it continues on.  I'd prepare for another $1k to $2k each by August.  

8.  With home prices escalating....aren't we building up a problem with mortgage loan companies?

Absolutely.  But no one wants to deny the circus atmosphere from existing.

9.  Does anyone really care what Jeb Bush thinks?

I doubt it.

10.  Lumber prices going downward?

Well....lumber futures are trending downward....which means something is going on and prices should shift in the next month.  

Award Chatter

 Somewhere in the mind of Bill Gates....he had this ambition to get the Nobel Peace Prize.  Now, if you lined up a million Americans....typically, 99.99-percent would tell you this was on their priority list....way down to like item number 7,889.  

To reach this type of status, for whatever reason....Bill Gates got friendly with Jeffrey Epstein.  No one says what favor Bill did for Jeffrey, but around 2013.....Bill had this idea that Jeffrey knew the right people (Thorbjorn Jagland, then head of the committee who'd decide stuff like this), and some meeting was arranged.

No one says what was discussed at this meeting.  I would figure that Bill walked in and jabbered away for a full hour on his foundation.  In the end, Bill (of course) did not get the Nobel Peace Prize.

I sat and pondered over the story.  Across the US, there's probably ten-thousand folks walking around and in some mindset that they ought to win the Nobel Peace Prize for 'something'.  

Barak Obama, I think, really didn't have this ambition, and some idiots with the committee just wanted to say their appreciation that George Bush was gone.  After that episode....a number of folks made the observation that the award was generally worthless.  

If you did the statistical analysis....out of the ten-thousand Americans....there might be one every ten years who gets something done or just fakes enough people to say they deserve it.  

Bill Gates?  I admit....he did well with Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.  Beyond that, there's not much that I'd give him credit for.  

The thing you are left to ponder.....to get this meeting arranged....Bill had to do something for Jeffrey.  It might be curious to know what Bill did or arranged.
