Housing Story

 I noticed that Morgan Stanley (the money-people) did a survey and found that 50-percent of young adults....are still living with their parents (all-time record).  Highest rate since the 'great depression'.

This brings me to the thought....are we in a 'less-than-great depression'?  Since the Covid era....I've tended to believe that the old method of assessing the economy is crap, and doesn't work any longer.  

If you live in California?  Well....even if you cleared $3,000 a month on pay (after taxes)......I'm not sure it'd be enough to settle housing and general expenses.  Maybe in Tennessee or Mississippi....$3,000 a month would work.  

Where this is leading?  Disgruntled young people....with angry motivation on voting.

Defining Woke

 I saw this a day ago, and it's been on my mind.

Woke defined: 'A state of awareness only achieved by those dumb enough to find injustice in literally everything they see or feel.....except their own behavior itself.'

The problem is....if you have just one single guy in a group of five.....things only go to a single level.  If you have a dozen woke people in a group of 20....they tend to start trying to out-woke each other.  They may even reach a point where nothing can exist without some form of injustice being noticed....like suggesting having a afternoon ice cream....is racist.
