Ten Things

 1.  There's a lot of chatter over the idea that CNN will be put up to sell (saying value at $5-billion.  But if you read other material....cable companies are discussing future contracts, and how customers don't want channel X, Y or Z....meaning that in the future of cable TV....people might be asking for strictly 20 stations/options.

In this scenario.....some people think that Fox, MSNBC and CNN would be discounted as options.  If so....is the true value of CNN $5-billion?  I'd argue if only one out of ten homes receives CNN....advertisers won't pay premium rates.  Then the true value might be only $500-million at best.  

2.  If you think about all this sexed-up business going on in schools....eventually...a fair number of teachers (men and women) are going to get a LE visit, and end up with three or four years in prison for physical relationships with kids.  These people (probably in range of a couple thousand)....will never pay off their college loan debt.  Job potential after a year in prison?  They'd be lucky to just flip burgers or do landscaping.

3.  Someone pointed out that game-controller used for the Titan-sub.....is discounted by 40-percent off in the past 24 hours.  I doubt if it has anything to do with the sub.

4.  If you are 12 years old and have gender dysphoria.....you probably haven't hauled hay in 100-degree heat, worked an honest eight hours of physical labor, or painted a barn roof.  More important things to worry about, instead of your gender.

5.  If you are pretty fragile at handling things which you disagree with.....you might want to find a 'safe' job in life (mowing grass, delivering newspapers, or selling ice cream).

6.  If you asked a thousand folks to define human rights.....you'd get a thousand different descriptions.  Some would even suggest that free email usage is a human right.

7.  If you are a certified crack user....it's pretty good odds that you can't tell the truth more than 50-percent of the time.

8.  Question of the day....is it better to be misinformed, or totally lacking of information?  

9.  As things progress with major news organizations at CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, ABC, Fox, NY Times, and WaPo....skepticism is at such a high rate.....that people aren't listening or reading.  Why bother even producing the news?

10.  I read this morning that a California poll was conducted.  Presently....four out of ten California residents are reviewing the option of leaving.  They aren't clearly saying 'yes, we are going'.....but they are reviewing options.

If this came true?  This would mean 16-million people total...are in some decision-making process.  Could the state survive with just 24-million?  I'd question how police, hospitals and regular functions would work.

Who would likely make up the bulk of the 16-million?  I'd suggest roughly one-third of this to be retirees and soon-to-be-retired people.  I'd also suggest that more than 2,000 of the Hollywood types would find no logical reason to stay (mostly because of taxes).  

Finally, once this 16-million were gone....there would be a catch-up factor (go ask Engineers for statistical numbers)....where the next group would say that they can't survive in a marginalized state.  I'd assume another 5-million would walk out within three years.  

Go do the 2030 Census and population count.  It's not pretty.
