Q-and-A

 1.  This UAW car strike deal.....what is the 'hinge' or real focus of the strike?

Well....the union wants some guarantee of people staying, when the E-car thing takes off.  That won't happen.....E-cars require two-thirds of the 'parts' that a gas/diesel car has.  So from production, to assembly.....you can probably anticipate around 20 to 30 percent of assembly/production guys being 'let-go'.  The car companies will be agreeable to pay more, but the guarantee of man-hours won't happen.

2.  Janet Yellen was asked to explain why the public doesn't believe in the good economic times 'brand', and said she can't understand their feeling?

Yeah, that's the comment that she made.  If you shop regularly....you know the true inflation rate better than Yellen herself.

3.  2030 Census predictions for California being discussed?

Yes, and the current trend is that California would lose five House seats at present.  Redrawing the districts?  You can anticipate a massive problem in telling various current members of the House of the approaching crisis.  Adding to the burden.....the general areas of 'loss' are defined as the SF/LA central region of California.  

4. Columbia migration to the US in 2024 anticipated to be 1-million-plus?

I sat and read a summary over the issue.  Prior to Covid, Columbia had a population of 51-million (at least the government claims that).
