Four Things I Expect By The End Of 2026

 1.  Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer convicted of second-degree unintentional murder for the death of George Floyd, will win a appeal asking for a new trial.  I predict the trial will start by the end of 2026.

2.  Most NY City residents will admit....the new mayor is useless....but doing what they want....bringing a 'stage-show' to city.  Some musical Broadway show will open up....over his antics.

3.  By the conclusion of 2026...roughly 3,000 Somali residents in Minnesota are in legal situations...requiring lawyers, and most lawyers admitting the lack of English-skills is making the situation difficult.

4. New truck 'trend' will start up....'micro-trucks'....costing in the 22k to 24k range....with almost no extras.

Yeah, She Said It

 Hillary Clinton: "We have got to stop demonizing each other... We have got to stop with the finger-pointing and the scapegoating."

I saw this in the AM today.

I probably read this over and over, and over.

What people need  is a App you load on  your cellphone....'Demonizer'....which reads news for BS....alerting you with some police-siren type noise.

SNAP Chatter

  I sat yesterday....watching a segment on SNAP....which the gov't is setting up a new rule...if you want SNAP benefits....you have to procure some type of temp-work...amounting to 80 man-hours a month.

Reporter asked some LA resident on their feelings about this....to which the person said: "I don't think it's fair. A lot of people don't have the resources to obtain new skills."

I pondered over this.

Shelf-stocking....McDonalds....gas-station clerk?  Is there really that much 'skill' involved?

I mean....if we were tasking you to be a nuke-plant button-pusher....it'd be different....but we aren't  going down that path.

But on the part of the LA resident...maybe they truly believe skill-sets are required for every single job.
