Five Humble Thoughts

 1.  On the Haitian-Springfield story....I've done some pondering.

The way this is rigged-up.....a bunch of folks (differing on number from 6,000 to 20,000 depending on who tells the story...'arrived' in a community of 60,000, then suddenly find housing.

I question this.....you can't find housing in any community to say a community of 'X' being able to accept 5-percent  of incoming folks (you can write a mathematical  formula for this).  If you had a town of 3,000....it's likely that you can't exceed 1-percent....meaning 300 new people.  To say more than 1-percent....there's something 'shady' going on.

So this housing?  If you say these were all Haitians without any real technical background....making minimum wage....the only way that you could fix housing is to offer up new house-trailer situation (figure $50,000 in costs to buy, deliver and set-up).....for a guy/gal/family who makes $1,800 after taxes/social security.  

This brings to the huge problem....there has to be fed home-vouchers influencing all of this to happen....where the Haitian family is getting $500 to $800 a month to cover cost of the home....maybe even $1,200 a month to cover the car business.

Did the mayor/city council all know of the vouchers ahead of time, and rigged housing/cars?  

If Trump arrives in January and halts the vouchers?  Well....that's the thing I reached last night in pondering this.  If the system collapses....with no vouchers, they'd all be hitting the street....probably leaving Springfield in a matter of 90 days.

2.  Diddy-climax?  I suspect when we get to early spring of 2025....more than 300 Hollywood types will be under some investigation.....connecting back to Diddy. Another curious thing....being in jail, I suspect this is the first time in 30 years....that Diddy has gone drug-free, and it's 'hellish'.

3.  To be honest, I'm at the point that I'd prefer appliances NOT to have SMART features.  I just want a stove that has some on/off button and a dial on temperature.  Same for a TV, radio, and dishwasher.  I counted on my washer....it's 32 settings on the stupid thing.  I have a living room fan, which offers a remote control situation (for my tab), and at least 40 different settings.

4.  I watched yesterday around 4 video clips of VP Harris from Friday....different locations/talks during the day.  In all four....she seemed either drunk or medicated.  You just can't get up at 6 AM....sipping a glass of wine by 9 AM, and accomplishing this six times throughout a day....to keep a buzz on.  Has to be cannabis or medication.

5.  Based on events I see unfolding over the past five years....I'm reaching a point where I don't see Charles Manson as that crazy.
