28-Percent Story

 ABC TV news went out last week and polled folks.

What they said?  "Just 28% think that President Biden has the mental sharpness to effectively serve for another term."

I pondered over this.  Who were the 28-percent?  

So you start with 100 folks:

- 16 of the 100 are probably 80 and older....seeing nothing wrong with President Biden's behavior.

- 12 of the 100 are probably on serious medical-cannabis use.

- 13 of the 100 are brain-damaged folks....from farm-accidents, NFL football and combat action.

- 32 are woke-enthusiasts.

- 2 are probably dead (still registered to vote).

- And the remaining folks just want to see a crazy old guy do crazy stuff daily.  

In The Old Days Speech

 Back in the old days...meaning when Greeks were supreme race on Earth, and were contributing vast amounts of knowledge....they had a habit of inventing 'Gods'.

I won't say that it was a big deal or discussed that much.  You needed to have some element of 'protection' and you had a list of Gods created (in the fictional sense) to correct the woes that you ran into.

One of the more interesting Gods that the Greeks created....was Dionysus.

Dionysus was a unique creation.  He served around 7 purposes:

1.  When you needed entertainment or humor....he was the God of theater.  You'd pray to him for singing, a good laugh, or stoic words of inspiration.

2.  When you needed top-class wine-making.....he was the God of wine production.

3.  When harvest came up for apples or pears....he was the God of orchard harvest.

4.  When things seemed dull, and you needed some crazy stuff to happen....he was the God that you generally sought.

5.  When you needed hot passionate lust stuff....he was the God to deliver.  I should note....in those days without a bunch of chatter or woke-stuff...LGBTQ-stuff just occurred along with 300-odd fetishes, and everyone seemed happy.

6.  When the yearly ritual talk started up....he was the God you sought hope for a successful ritual or party.

7.  Finally, when you coupled up with some Greek gal and hoped for a kid or two....yeah, he was the God that you had quiet discussions with.

I'm not saying Dionysus was a guaranteed thing....just that people seemed to believe in things not accidentally occurring. 

Hiring Chatter

 I sat and read over this story...admitting, there are not lot of details or facts. What the FAA guys basically say.....they will make some effort to hire that typically....they would hire.

Level of position?  Unknown.  Manager-status?  Unknown.  Security clearance?  Unknown. People with a IQ of 85 or below?  Unknown.  People  with paranoid schizophrenia, or having invisible friends?  Unknown.

The problem I see....people tend to have a level of trust in the FAA (like it used to be with the FBI or National Forest Service).  If you said that 300 FAA employees will exist in the future....with some 'Forest Gump' label/status....I doubt that trust will be maintained.

But this begs the question....why couldn't the CIA, US Army, Border Patrol, or Secret Service....hire up intellectual misfits (maybe even with a PhD) or psychiatric disabled people?  Why can't the House/Senate mandate  at least one or two members of their crowd fit into this category?  Why can't we get a President who is mentally disabled? 

It just seems like something bad is going to evolve out of this....where you'd advance far in life....if you had a FAA job and had an imaginary friend.
