Humble Observations

 1.  Doom over news networks.

I'll just say that as you view CNN, Fox, MSNBC, NPR over the next four years....all will be in a spiral with fewer consumers and continued inability to draw people back. 

In the case of MSNBC and CNN?  I would suggest at some point....they probably will merge (as the value of CNN continues to drop).  

It will be a remarkable period where even big name newspapers reach a status where no one quotes their 'crap'.

2.  One of the last times that I rode a NY City subway (before Covid)....in the midst of some ride....some gal gets up in the middle of the car, in a high-pitched voice....announcing that she was a NY City school teacher and virtually on welfare pay-scale (at the 10-year point, they make $86,000, if you were wondering).

She had some bag and wanted folks to throw either coins or bills into it.  My German wife was with me, and questioned me if teachers were this poor.  

The thing that struck me later (after I had exited the train)....this was a school-day and early afternoon.  If she were a real teacher....she should have been at school.  So this was probably a fake narrative.  

3.  Just an awful lot eccentricities over teenagers and college-age kids going on....where they want you to support their behavior as a nutcase.

4.  Remember CNN-plus?  I had almost forgotten it, and someone brought up the crap stuff.

5.  This mandatory gov't regulation....where if your plane-trip is delayed or screwed-up....they have to provide food and hotel?  

All it's doing is rigging the cost of a regular airline ticket to go up by 50-to-100 percent.
