Four Observations

 1.  I noted in AM news today....from NY City.....Zohran Mamdani plans to spend around $230 million to purchase and refurbish this run-down old grocery store in Brooklyn...owned by his cousin.

Odds of a ethics violation?  Near 100-percent, and likely to draw fed attention.  

2.  Over the past month, I've heard the term 'oligarchy' uttered at least 200 times.  If you asked  a thousand Americans...most would say it's a Russian thing, but can't readily define it.

An oligarchy typically....is when a small group of people, like a few rich or powerful or top-religious-tier folks, make all the big decisions for a place, and most other people don't get much say.

Yeah....when you slant it like that....it does sound like the House/Senate folks.

3.  Odd Mamdani story....he is under fire for charging people $13 per beer at his ‘victory party’.  Workers arrived and thought the party would feature free drinks.  They were charged $13 per can of Bud Light.

4.  Wendy's (the fast food shop)....will apparently close several hundred operations....business is way down.  This used to be my top place (1980s).  Haven't been to one since 2010.
