AOC-Reverse-Index-IQ-Scoring

 This week....AOC said: "Elon is one of the most unintelligent billionaires I've met or seen."

I pause over it, and realized that we need a opposite-approach to IQ.....where ZERO is Elon-range....and '10' is AOC-range.

The lower the score.....the more intelligent you  are.

Five Things That Have Reached A Failure Mode

1.  Car loans for $75,000.

The idiot who decided that cars would be sold at $60k to $90k on the lot....getting banks to agree to a 8-year loan payment plan.....has a mostly failure state in existence. 

2.  A Vegas weekend (3 days)  costing  in the $4k range for a couple.

After Covid....room prices, beverage/food costs....all escalated to such a degree....that it'd be actually half this $4k cost to go off to some Turkish 5-star resort for 10 days.

3.   Mailing a letter to a business establishment 10 miles away....requiring a 600 mile trip.

Once you pop the letter into the box....it has to be picked up and carried to state distribution point, then rerouted back.

4.  Kennedy Center.

Attitude developing....lot of folks suggesting that 'it' fund it's own renovation/repairs....let the fed-dollars just stop.

Look.....the cost of BS-work in DC is such...you would have to charge $500 for crappy seats, and $1,000 for a great seat....for the place to have a income level to pay for stuff.  

This is probably the literal end of the Center.

5.  High-speed rail in California.

Getting obvious....it'll take 70-plus years to build a 700-mile track.  Even if you hire Mexicans....I doubt that you can improve the outcome.
