Things That Don't Make Sense To Me Today

 1.  Family-friendly drag shows.  It's like talking about family-friendly stripper shows, or family-friendly bull-fights, or family-friendly swinger parties.

2.  Probably one-third of American society is today intolerant, and it's cranked up to the turbo level.....almost daily.

3.  Dog yogurt is a product marketed and sold for around $3.  How did dogs survive for centuries....without it?

4.  People seem to be graduating from high school.....who appear to be just as bright as  they were in the 8th grade.  

5.  How horrific will it be....if Maricopa County, Arizona....has to redo their entire election?  Will people be throwing themselves off their step-ladders, or hurling themselves against the pavement of their driveway?

6.  Oddly enough, the minute that someone utters that 'so-and-so' is a 'math-wiz'.....my BS-meter is probably pegging '7' automatically unless the kid/adult can give me a simple 10-word explanation for square root.

7.  When I see 'Jesus-status' handed to some political figure....I'm likely in a state of disbelief.  In 1980, this problem never came up.

8.  Being TRIGGERED in 1980 usually meant you dealt with something after downing a pitcher of beer.  Today?  TRIGGERED people need hours in some closet, a coach to unhinge you, and a vow to isolate the guilty party from your life.  

9.  Trying to spends tens of thousands a year on a single homeless guy, who won't clean up his drug problem, or put any enthusiasm into a 40-hour week.

10.  More polar bears exist today.....than 1960s....and a dozen times a year.....I get some woeful news that they are dying left and right.  

11. Society depends on rational human beings.  The minute that you start to have 50-percent in some irrational way....society won't last long.

12.  If you asked a hundred people to explain probability.....only those who took engineering courses, or statistical classes.....would be able to define the word.

13.  Lot of chatter in the UK.....up to four inches of snow predicted in the next week.  The suggestion is....four inches....will be enough to shut down the entire country.  Yeah, it's pretty comical.

What The House Will Discover About Donald Trump's Tax Records?

 Three things:

1.  A professional top-class accountant did them....something that 99-percent of us can't afford.

2.  Every credit....goes back to tax code written by idiot politicians over the past hundred years.

3.  Nothing illegal will be dished out....although we will probably get four hours of tax accountant chatter via CNN....which bores the hell out of us, and we end up at the point of watching a 1956 cowboy-love drama movie instead.  

Scam Chatter

 Defining a scam: basically, a dishonest fraud, that you fell into....either with your heart, your money, or your vote.

Was FTX crypto currency a scam?  Yeah.....without any doubt, and you could have identified as such....maybe even two years ago.

Is the democracy we live in (the US) a scam?  You have a bunch of dishonest frauds elected and serving there.....taking your money.  So yeah, it's scam.

Is the university system now a scam?  Twenty years ago, I would have said no.  Today, I'd say about a quarter of the people graduating (non-engineers, non-science types, etc)....are about as stupid or marginalized....as they were in the 10th grade of high school.  So yeah, it's a scam.

Is Covid a scam?  As a virus?  No.  But if you go and talk about treatment, the vaccine business, or any of the hundred connected topics.....it's a scam as well.

Is the food pyramid a scam (the one you had in 8th grade health classes)?  People are all different, and your diet plan ought to be individualized....what works for Joe, might not be the best diet for Marty.  It's a joke and you can flip it either way....as to being a scam.

We live in an odd world....where we have a new scam introduced probably every single week.
