Survey was done....using Americans....with 42-percent of Lay's customer/consumers....saying they didn’t know their chips were made from actual potatoes.
I paused over this...thinking....same crew would say they weren't sure where pork or beef products come from.
You could probably ask folks where beer comes from, and they have no idea.
I looked up the missile involved...President Maduro says he has 5,000 Russian-made (SA-24) shoulder-launched missiles to counter the US.
Well....these were made in 2008, and shipped to Venezuela in 2009.
There's a shelf-life on the container....mostly because of the battery on the system. Ten years is the shelf-life.
So around 2018/2019....it hit the peak.
Still operational today? You could open a hundred containers and find some working, but it's hit-and-miss. Out of 5,000, I would imagine probably 300-to-500 might still launch. Stored in a protected temperature situation? Unknown.
Possibility that some were sold out of the backdoor? Maybe.
The Hill (the publication dealing with politics)....says that guys/men/dudes are leaving the Democratic Party.
So I looked up the story.
It's supported by broader polling and registration data showing a significant shift among younger men (18-to-25) and working-class men...leaving the party.
I will NOTE here....it's not sudden....just a continuation seen since 2016.
This is based on identification while registering, and people switching on paperwork.
Hispanic American males? Yep....they are in the 'boat' as well.
If you asked.....most men feel Democrats emphasize women's and minority issues while sidelining theirs.
A big deal? Well....in 2028....there needs to be this evolution going on....where you drop the oddball agenda items, and go back to the way things were in the 1980s/1990s. Odds of this happening? Less than 10-percent chance.
Other issue brewing? Mid-terms will run along the same agenda problem.
I paused over this....pondering....does the top level of the party even realize this problem? I doubt it.
This DEI stuff still brewing and making a open-door for guys easier to open? Yes.
So it makes wonder....back twelve to fifteen years ago when the various agendas were written down in stone.....did anyone calculate a shelf-life?
