What Is Human-Trafficking Really?

 The Pentagon mandated some kind of human trafficking 'training' on personnel around twenty years ago.  The idea was.....no one would go and pay for hookers or pass money into the human-trafficking 'gimmick'.  

In the past week, I've noticed the term of human-trafficking used a good bit....mostly by people who don't understand the concept.

If you go and buy a seat aboard a train, bus, or airline....to transport someone somewhere.....with no return on your ticket cost, it's not human-trafficking.  

If no money is earned or expected on the expenditure of the ticket....it cannot be human-trafficking.  

Why this vast misunderstanding by the news people?  I'm not sure.  I suspect they want to believe something 'terrible' but can't explain how it relates.  

Four Things I Wonder About

 1.  Every time I see Governor Newsom of California on TV, I gaze at his hair and wonder how many tubes of gel he uses weekly for his greasy hair look.  

In the 1960s/1970s of rural Alabama, I would notice  adult guys who probably used a jar of gel weekly....to get the right 'swag' of hair 'look'.  Maybe around age 12, I even went to the gel-look for a month (apply a dab each morning prior to school).  It just felt 'wet' all day long.  

2.  On this Pennsylvania debate discussion between Oz and Fetterman....I've come to this thought that Fetterman probably was never 100-percent mentally up for much of anything, and that maybe a fair amount of Cannabis use as a young guy....got him to this 'level' of existing.

But on the other side of this.....Oz is pretty much the last guy on Earth that I'd want to send to DC for Senate work.  

3.  Rap artists in Atlanta getting political, and putting out their own message/brand.....which might disagree with established Democratic political brands?

Yeah, and you just have to wonder....where this will go.

The thing is, you could write up a 2-minute rap-jingle, and using Twitter or Tik-Tok....get it across to 100,000 Atlanta voters in a matter of minutes.  

The city ending up with a rap-mayor, and half the city council being rap-minded?  

4.  Study showing intense workouts.....causing more stress on people, and possibly trigger memory problems?  Well....it begs questions and makes you wonder about all these hyped-up folks who exercise twenty hours a week.
