Four Things

1.  This NY City Chabad 'tunnel' dug into the Jewish facility is a wild story.  No permit....probably there for years.  Some suggestion that it was for sex-trafficking.

2.  I sat and watched a Twitter video today....some 19-year gal....all hyped-up over her 40-hour a week job and it's not enough to move out of the parent's house.

I pondered over this....1979, I worked with a Air Force NCO who was married.  Between him and the wife, they had two full-time jobs, and three part-time jobs.  On Fridays after work, he'd pull a 12-hour shift loading pallets at the local airport for a cargo airline.  His wife worked three six-hour shifts a week at the bowling alley.  At least twice in the middle of the week....he'd run the base theater ticket stand, and the pop-corn operation.  

I don't want to dump too much on the gal, but this has been reality for decades.

3.  The craziest scenario I've heard for November?

Someone suggested that at least three states will openly allow non-Americans to register and vote.  The reaction will be a majority of states  who will refuse to certify the election and refuse to participate in January's state-by-state vote in the House.   

If this were to happen?  All out chaos.

The necessity in getting non-Americans registered?  Even if you posed this to 100 Democrats....more than 90-percent would say it's plain stupid.

4.  Just some odd medical study....saying that dementia in young people is starting to be noticed.  Probably a trendy thing.

What Mexico Wants?

 President Obrador of Mexico stood up and said that they'd really like to close off the border to support the US, then he said four conditions:

1.  $20-billion per year.  It would be dispersed to Mexico and Central American countries, on some basis  (they skipped over how the loot would be divided up).

2.  End of sanctions to Venezuela.  

3.  End of sanctions and allow full-trade to Cuba.

4.  Give work-visas to 10-million from the region.

To be honest, elections are so crappy in most Central and South American countries....that this gimmick of sanctions against Cuba and Venezuela.....makes little sense.

As for the $20-billion....if the migration was going to be fully halted....it might be worth the money.  But I don't see how Mexico can promise such an action.

This will be chatted over for a week or two....then dropped.
