The Intellectual Deficient Comment

 Is intellectually deficient....the same thing as retarded?

I sat and listened to a Trump Q-and-A, and  he said the intellectually deficient comment....avoiding 'retard'.

Typically, intellectually deficient means you have a serious learning issue, lack of problem solving ability and marginal ability to conduct judgement.

Based off all my years in school, and my military period....I can readily say that if you are intellectually deficient....it's not fixable or curable. If you are lucky....people around you will help along the way, and sometimes guide you make better judgement calls, or improve your results on problem solving.

Your identifiable IQ?  Typically LESS than 80.  

My general issues in terms of dealing  with such people?  It's hard to get these types into a focused vision.  They also make for the worst planners....always waiting till the damage is severe....before stepping in to resolve and plan your way out of a mess.

Putting such people into a job where decision-making is important?  No....you have to draw the line and just say that we need you....but we don't need you to be a manager or 'boss'.

It's just funny....after four years of President Biden....this topic now comes up.

Humble Views

 1.  I spent about 90 minutes yesterday....trying to watch MSNBC, CNN, Fox, and an assortment of news coverage over Elon and the Democrats shaking in fear.

It feels like some National Lampoon comedy movie.  

At the end of this Elon-adventure....I expect two things to occur. First, a bunch of lobbyists will begin telling Senators and House members....that the campaign-bucket is empty for 2026.....Elon 'swiped' the cash-flow.  Second, a bunch of people will appear on CNN and admit they were duped....some  kind of  attempt to say while they were robbing the gov't.....someone was robbing them.

2.  Google came out yesterday and offered up an 'exit-bonus'....for those who aren't committed.  

In a nice way....they are saying if you just showing up and marginally contributing....you might want to take the bonus and find real work.

The question is....are you smart enough to  grasp that for the past three years while you worked at Google....there's less than 100 man-hours that you really put into honest-work?

Then the last question is....once you take the bonus, and actually exit....then what?

3. Finally, you remember the TV show.....'Buffy, The Vampire Slayer' (1997-2001, 140-odd episodes)? 

Well....there's talk....it'll be coming  back.  

Somewhere out there.....there's probably even plans to bring Gunsmoke and Rockford Files back.
