South Korean Chatter

 I follow a lot of international news.  This week, I learned that South Korea went and changed the age limit on politicians....so if you were 18-to-25 years old....you could run for office.

So, it's rather shocking in South Korean politics now.....record number of 'kids' running for local office.

Big deal?  Well...some analysts have sat there and suggested something crazy....that the older guys (the folks over 50 years old)....were OUT-OF-TOUCH with society and problems.

Shocking....huh?

A severe affect on the election outcome?  I would go and make a prediction that probably half of the youth candidates will win and walk into local city council meetings....shaking things up to a degree.

Would we ever allow something this crazy in America?  I doubt it. We prefer the out-of-touch folks....to keep things stable.  

Poll Story

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

 31-percent of people are open to the idea that he can run again. 

Will the number lessen as we get to the fall of 2023?  I'm of the mind that 90-percent will say 'no' to him running again.

In fact, we might reach a stage where people say....for any elected office....you are cut off from running again after your 65th birthday.

That Hate Mentality

 "What is the left's worldview beyond criticizing freedom, capitalism & America? They hate racism, but have no belief system that would end it. They hate capitalism, but their economic system leads to misery & poverty. They hate America, but want a world run by much worse powers."

-- Kyle Becker, via Twitter

I sat and pondered over this comment.

In some ways....over the past twenty years....society has evolved into a full-time whining  'crew', and wanting your attention around the clock (via the news or social media).

When people talk about the evils of capitalism....they always seem to be wearing $90 jeans, $100 Chuck Taylor tennis shoes, and some logo jacket that runs $200.  I just keep wondering how they'd fit in....with zero capitalism...for fashion.

The ones that complain about racism?  They never seem to want to move to a happier country in life.  

Shooter 'Kid'

Around a dozen photos of this Illinois shooter 'kid' on the internet now.

So blue-red hair?  

Any resume?  His claim to fame so far....he's a rapper.  Beyond that....it's awful weak.  

Would appear he still lives in dad's house at age 21, and no 8-hour a day job.

Cannabis smoker?  I look at the photos, and it just reminds me of potheads.  

Here's the thing though.....there must be 300k 'kids' (age 15 to 30) in this category across the US....without any hope for the future.  They can't handle modern Cannabis-ultra-strength stuff....alternate reality.  

Social Media Commentary

I saw this today.  Someone did a parody of how Twitter manages to 'alert' people and educate/propagandize the public.

If you are a Twitter user....there are continual reminders about Twitter wanting to correct your topic/chatter.

It's a graphic that you spend several minutes analyzing and realizing just how far society has gone in the past decade.

In some ways, we are unable to use logic and reasoning to full value.  (Well....some of us).

 

You Ever Wondered How 'Birthing-People' (BP) Got Created?

 Well....it comes down to this.  Once you have Trans-Men (former females) who've done all the surgical stuff, hormone business, and mental therapy to get over the 'hump'.....then what you have is a man who still has potentially the functions to get pregnant.  At some point, these 'men' will find some method to get pregnant, and ease into a situation where a man delivers a kid in nine months.

Medical science will just keep its mouth shut, and most logical people will suggest that it was the woman who conceived and delivered.....not the Trans-Man.  

So BP's need to exist somewhere in reality....if you need to make sense out of this.  All this hormone stuff affecting the kid delivered?  Well....you can't say this until you get a couple hundred delivered and some have 'problems'.

I know it's tough to understand, but this is reality in 2022.  

Logically, you will ask....shouldn't non-birthing-people (former men who got over the 'hump' to become a Trans-Woman).....now exist as well?  Any day now....NBP's will be designated and will exist for the official record.  

Florida Ad Campaign

 I sat and watched the 30-second AD that Governor Newsom (Cal, D) put up in Florida....slamming the Republicans and Governor DeSantis.  You can do a review over at this site.  

His basic statement?  California has freedom, energy, no banning of books, and Florida is made it hard to have an abortion.  Yes, come to California.

I paused over this for a while (watching it at least five times).

There's probably around forty reasons I can think....NOT to relocate to California.  

There is the taxation rate, the over-abundance of homelessness, open drug policy (for fentanyl, crack, and meth), and a crazy rate of pay for police and firemen.  Odds of the state being bankrupt in the next decade?  Probably over 50-percent chance.

Why waste funds on this ad?  I'd say he wants to interest some people in Florida to flip to the Democrats, and moving to California....but out of a thousand potential people.....I doubt if you can cite a single case occurring. 

If you review the numbers.....Californians in the mindset to move?  I would imagine one out of every ten is considering the move presently.  If you just go into SF alone....there's probably 20,000 who are openly discussing the idea of leaving the city as a minimum, and the state possibly.

Here's the thing....he needs to convince people outside of California that it's not that bad....if he wants a legit run in 2024.  We aren't talking Republicans here.....it's independents that he's aiming the ad at mostly.

If I were DeSantis....I'd line up three actors to be 'dopers' and do some 30-second ads about life in California and living under bridges.
