Do We Really Need To See/Read the Nashville Trans Manifesto?

 No.

Lets just be honest...it'll be mostly the chatter (probably fifty to one-hundred pages, if we are lucky....five-hundred to seven-hundred if unlucky)....of mostly how the world is wrong....people are cruel...stamps cost too much....fast-food is non-nutritional.....Saturday Night Live hasn't been great since 1988....Madonna hasn't sung a great tune since the early 1990s....and vanilla is just an odd cake flavor.

Yeah, I don't really care to read crap like that for an hour....where I reach a stage of putting the manifesto down and admit the young adult was losing his/her gripe on reality.

The sad thing....over sixty journalists would readily read the hundred pages, and condense this down to a three-minute presentation and try hard to avoid saying this was the work of a insane person. 

The FBI?  I'm sure their manifesto department has three different guys reading a copy and will offer an hour of their humble opinion, and vouch....insane people write crappy material.

Just my two cents of humble thought.

Missing 7.2-Million Men?

 For several months, I've been following a business report that circulates....saying that 7.2 million men in America between ages 25 and 54....aren't working.  The PhD people are fairly sure of the number and business people talk about constantly.  I would imagine I've seen this discussed at least a dozen times since early January.

So it stays on my mind.

I've come to the conclusion where the missing 7.2 million men are.  So there are three explanations for this.  

First, I suspect that around a quarter-million just plain left the US.  They've gone to various other countries and established themselves in jobs or own a business where they simply aren't counted within the American work-force.

Second, I would suggest in the range of 5-million are addicted to booze or drugs, and can't readily pass a drug-test or be dependable at work.  

Third, the remainder?  Mostly guys who've failed at various things, and mostly live in dad's house and opt for pizza delivery or part-time work.  

Should we be worried?  Well....the work-force managers say they need the seven-million to fill empty slots and perform actual work.  I assume they aren't BSing us.

Does it say something about the gov't failure to get them back to work?  Maybe, but it's not the government's job.  And frankly, no one really wants the druggies working in their plant, or shop.  

Q-and-A

 1.  Should Tik-Tok be banned in the US?

I would suggest we'd all be better off if age limits were put on social media (Instagram, FB/Meta, Twitter) and you could only open an account if you had a legit ID of some type (even a credit card) and minimum age of 16 for an account.  

2.  What do you get if a open society has a high percentage of people with high rates of psychiatric comorbidities (two or more physical/mental issues) is given hormones without much review of reactions?  

You would almost get a tranquilized or hyped-up society that seems to have a fasciation with 'hatred' or frustration. 

3.  How should the student college loan mess be resolved?

Have some PhD guys sit down and analyze degree field by degree field....what you would make at the five, ten and twenty year point after graduating.  Then publish the results, and tell the 18-year old kid....no matter how important this x-degree is to you....we will only loan you x-amount of money because it will never make financial sense.  

Engineer and science degrees?  Those people will probably still get $100,000 of loan possibilities.  The lesser degrees?  Probably no more than $10,000 a year of loan potential.  

It's the only logical way to clear the mess.  Degrees are like cars....a Corvette-degree has value....a Ford Pinto-degree has marginal value.

4.  Is there some effort in California to limit profits of oil companies?

Yes, and if it advances....fuel companies will produce less fuel in response to this....thus affecting the entire west coast region.  The cost of fuel would then go to a higher level in a matter of days (if not hours).

5.  Pentagon says 'NO' to releasing video of 'UFO-shootdowns' from a month ago?

Well....yeah, without much of a explanation.

Either they shot down balloons....which was the order given by President Biden....or they shot down UFOs.  Just begs a lot more questions.

6.  Did Joe Rogan say: "Media ignoring uprisings across the world because it doesn’t fit narrative?"

Yeah, and he's fairly correct.
