Observations

 1.  I sat and watched around 30 minutes of video from the riots in NY city from two days ago.  What basically happened?  Some influencer came on social media.....said he was going to give free stuff to juveniles/teenagers, and around 10,000 'kids' showed up in bad form....doing stupid stuff.

The funny thing? The cops tried their normal routine and got pushed back.

Yeah, just like in SF, Minneapolis, Seattle, Portland and various other cities over the past five years.

I have this opinion....anyone (even right-wing types) could go these days and do a a riot episode, and probably crap all over the police, with nothing much happening.  Oh.....I wouldn't do this inside of a building....like the capital structure.  But I don't think the police have any ability to control rioting anymore.  

2.  If you went and spent $80,000 on a E-car.....to reach some break-even point where cost and electricity all made sense.....I think you'd need around 44 years to reach that point.  

3.  West Virginia AG pressing to have the DC court case moved over to WV.  Might be an interesting turn of events to have both DC and Virginia disqualified to hold the circus case.

If LawEnforcementOfficials cannot control 'youths', why pay them.
If Border Patrol cannot control the border, why pay them.
If congress-critters are in it for the grift, why pay them.
If the resident of TheWhiteHouse cannot form a coherent sentence in a dozen-and-a-half attempts then just helplessly gives up, why pay him.

Well...we run a welfare system, and it's designed to look legit, even if it can't perform at the level you expect.
