Ten Things: 26 Jun 2023

 1.  Oddly, with the 'deal' that Hunter Biden got....no one in the IRS cares about who paid Hunter money or what service they got for the money.  This odd way of arranging the deal...makes the whole thing into a comedy.

2.  It's currently figured that only ten-percent of Americans (max) read newspapers.  I think if you asked the ten-percent....other than the front-page, the local news page, the crime blotter, and obituary page.....that's about all of the 20 pages that they read.  

3.  It's now figured to be physically impossible to write any state law banning drag shows.  At best, if the establishment has a liquor license.....you can ensure kids don't show up.   Maybe you need to force people in liquor license activity, and then say it can't be opened unless the license activity is being achieved.  

4.  Chris Christie's moment....probably never existed, in terms of getting national attention for the 2024 primary.

5.  I expect at some point within five years....a vast twist on handling shoplifters, and people get three months of jail for taking a dollar of value.  

6.  A Delaware town (8,000 residents) has invented a commercial company-right-to-vote out of thin air.  Strictly local elections.  So far....one company....one vote.  Makes one wonder....if you were a guy with one company....why not split it into 30 sub-companies (maybe one employee each) and get 31 votes?  To be honest, I think if a company is paying $10k in tax revenue (property taxes too)....that ought to be worth one single vote.  For each $10k after that....give them additional votes.  Course, hookers would eventually get into this, and claim $100k of revenue, and would want ten votes.  

7.  Some political group talking about regulating artificial intelligence (AI).  I suspect AI is already reviewing options and looking for ways to regulate political groups.

8.  I noticed the death count (for 2022)....pedestrian's death count (being killed by car)....highest in 41 years.  Begs questions but I doubt if anyone will dig into this.

9.  Some video came up of RFK Jr in work-out form.  This guy has zero fat on his body.  Has to be spending 60 to 90 minutes a day working out.

10.  I think if you asked a hundred Americans if they live in a prosperity situation, less than 20-percent would agree with you.  If you opened their freezer and looked at the steaks, or asked the value of their $1,500 big-screen TV, or the cost of their new car....the bulk (majority) would then admit being in a prosperity lifestyle.
