Ten Things I Believe Today

 1. Illiterate people are just as 'smart' as intellectuals.....when crap hits the fan, and chaos reigns.

2.  Trying to be respectful toward any politician today.....is demanding a lot of patience.

3.  Anyone wearing a sweatshirt 'hoodie' in 90-degree heat....is nuts.

4.  The minute you identify yourself as a fact-checker....I'm doubting whatever you say by 50-percent.

5.  In mafia-chatter, the minute you say the 'big-guy'....it automatically means he takes a 10-percent cut....even if he's just there to sip a coffee.

6.  If common sense was indexed-out....the majority of people would never get past '5' (scale of one to ten).  

7.  Who is supposed to utter 'God save the Queen'?  In 99.9-percent of cases....only British subjects, in case you were wondering.

8. Two decades ago, if you'd ever uttered the term 'provocative'.....you did it with a slight French accent, intending to identify some 'slutty' gal, and you probably only uttered it once a year (usually after four beers).  Today?  You might utter it ten to twenty times a year, and it has nothing to do with 'slutty' women..

9.  I think at least one-third of viewers to ABC/CBS/NBC nightly news....will mute on occasion, and it's reaching a point where locals do the same to their local TV news of the region.

10.  Without a pistol/rifle 'brace'....if you fired ten rounds (say in ten seconds)....I'd give pretty good odds to whoever/whatever you were aiming at....got hit on the first round, and the next nine missed.  I'm not saying this was the government intention in outlawing the 'brace', but firing the next nine rounds are a total waste (in my humble view).  

After Viewing All Of Season Two Of Yellowjackets

 I binge-watched all of season one, then went into a once-a-week viewing of season two.  I have five serious problems in watching it.

First, the fact that the young ladies don't see a necessity really in leaving the crash site....makes no sense.  You can take any group of a dozen people, and once you reach the seventh day of staying at the crash site....exit would seem to make perfect sense.

Second, why no rescue crew ever came?  That part makes no sense.

Third, season two seems to remind me a lot of Desperate Housewives (I quit watching it by the end of season two).....being too soap-operish.  

Fourth, no matter how you lay the story out.....virtually every single character by the end of season two...is a nutcase.

Fifth and final....this Kevyn Tan/Misty Quigley character duo....as detectives....are a five-star duo, and they ought to bring the two actors/characters into their own TV series.  

Will I watch season three?  Probably, but on the weirdness scale (1-to-10).....this is already maxing at '9' presently.  

Ten Things I Expect To Occur Over The Next Decade

 1.  At least one state will mandate all state employees to have a sidearm on themselves, as part of their public duty.  Gun safety will be mandated and conducted by the state as part of the agenda. Even the governor will carry a sidearm. 

2.  The LGTBQ will reach a crisis stage where 32 letters are considered the norm....with at least one news agency forcing it's people to go and use all 32 when discussing a news item.

3.  At least 100 regional TV stations will have eliminated either their morning or evening news because so few locals watch it, and advertising refuses to pay a premium rate. 

4.  A new medical disability will be established.....'fragility' will be 'branded' in some way where you can't handle real life situations, and you are allowed to collect disability/social security early on in life.  More than 40,000 Americans will be identified as disabled by 2033.

5.  Sam Bankman-Fried is convicted on minor charges...spends less than 100 days in jail.  Over the next decade, he will recreate and fail two additional crypto-currencies....all having some donation to politicians, and each time being arrested/convicted for a max of 100 days.  

6.  Americans start uttering President's Biden's words 'God save the Queen' in all public appearances, and it becomes such a popular phrase....that at least five bands over the next ten years....will make songs with the phrase.

7.  Some weird cult-like fasting will start to occur where people fast from Saturday evening to Sunday evening, with some scripture read.  Five-percent of Americans will be participating.

8.  Some psychological group will identify over 5,000 movies which can't be viewed by fragile people.  Among the titles: Caddyshack II, Action Jackson, Tropic Thunder, and all of the Indiana Jones movies. 

9.  Twelve-year-old American kids start identifying as neofascists, complete with badges, rank, and symbiology.  Teachers will suggest that it's highly dangerous now in schools....even more dangerous than in the previous generation.  

10.  Bud-Lite will have been renamed/rebranded, and five years into the rebuild.....repeat the trans-mistake, and have to repeat the renaming/rebranding a second time.  

The Teacher Story

 Yesterday AM, I read through this story.  The way it goes....a fair number of LGTBQ teachers....in Florida and Texas....are resigning, and heading toward California/NY in the summer.

It's an NBC story, and to be honest, on my BS-index....it's ranking near an '8'....meaning it lacks a lot of facts.

How many are resigning?  Unknown....it might be a couple dozen...several hundred....couple thousand.

Reason/logic?  Well....they say the agenda laws are forcing them to restrict their LGTBQ chatter in classrooms. They aren't 'free'.

So I've sat upon the idea, and come to four observations:

1.  These are mostly people who graduated out of college in the past five years.  These are not forty-and-over teachers.  

2.  I don't think they were teaching much of their daily requirements, and their instruction time probably meant a quarter of their day based on indoctrination....instead of normal mandates.

3.  If you were looking for new jobs in California/NY over the summer for school situations?  You are freaking screwed.  If this were 3,000 in numbers....you just won't find school districts that desperate....unless they had violence issues in the schools.  Frankly, taking your LGTBQ agenda from a quiet Texas town where you taught 3rd-grade kids....to gang-infested Bakersfield and 10th-grade kids....will be a huge drop in personal happiness.  I also think if you showed up in upstate NY....you might be shocked how conservative they are there.....compared to Texas.  

4.  Finally, if your move results in no teacher job....what exactly is plan 'B'?  Remember....you have a college debt situation brewing and if you can't find a happy school situation where you lecture people on LGTBQ stuff....then what?  

Maybe I'm wrong, but I think in twelve months....the LGTBQ teachers who left....will come back and ask if they can have their old job back (the answer will be no), and there will be a news media story of these poor LGTBQ unemployed folks.....people without a profession....existing.
