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.
