This is a historical essay.
My people (from the family of descendants) left out of London around 1640....never looking back.
This is a listing for the city of London....identifying everyone who died that year, and how they died.
1. Basically, if you feel some anger or ill-feelings about something that someone said.....'mute' the individual. If you go and spend hours getting all hyped-up....what purpose does it really serve?
2. Out of every dozen things that you typically read on Twitter....one comment will be witty and clever....five or six will be somewhat thoughtful, and the rest will be garbage-talk that some immature adult threw together in 60 seconds.
3. Prior to Elon, there were probably two-hundred topics that moderators would cross out or terminate your account upon. Presently....zero. It's not something that I'd regard today....as the end of the world, or leading to massive chaos.
4. It just looks like that 50-percent of the manpower....wasn't really needed, and begs the question....how did they keep expanding.....with no real defined work-load?
5. For all those folks that walked out....fired, then bad-mouthing Elon Musk.....they are basically saying they wanted less management and less supervision. They also showed that they can only work for certain people.
6. Twitter being a magnet for fake-news? It's always been a magnet, and even with Elon's work....it'll still be a magnet. But generally, people have some BS-meter in their mind, and as time advances.....get wiser about propaganda.
7. Finally, this level of portraying Twitter as a demon (under Elon).....lays out this crazy discussion....can people handle rational discussion or disagreeable topics?
A lot of baseball freaks want to openly discuss the DH-rule....in place since 1973. Some still want it gone. Some folks want to openly discuss fatty food being sold at McDonalds or Burger King....with the idea that it can be ceased. Some folks want to discuss climate change, global cooling and global warming.
I don't have a problem with a open handed discussion....at least being agreeable that talk doesn't destroy society or culture. If you reach the point where censorship is the only way ahead.....we have a serious problem.
1. If you won't engage upon conversation or debate, or offer honest counter-chat....making the only fix to problems or society, then you are left with only two tools....either silence your 'friend' or censor him.
It's childish behavior, but thats the modern world we live in.
2. FTX (the crypto currency) relied upon believers....to see value in 'nothing' (literally nothing). For some reason, they had no problem in selling this belief.
3. We've reached some stage that if you uttered the word 'whore'....someone would ask for it to be defined, and the party uttering the word would have a hard time defining it in a way to make the question-guy understand the word. The same problem probably exists for 'slut', 'hussy', and 'harlot'.
4. If you ever wake up in the middle of the night, with a uninvited guest in the house....wearing just underwear....then you call the cops.....meeting them at the door (that you opened)....don't walk back toward the guest if they are holding a hammer.
5. If you paid half-a-million to some university, for them to accept your dim-witted son or daughter....getting them a degree at the end....don't go expecting a lot out of your kid later in life.
6. The realistic expectation for a 70-to-80 year old guy....on heavy concentrated work....is probably no more than three hours a day. Once you push them past that point....they get loose with facts and figures.....remembering less and less.
7. Without risk, there are no rewards worth discussing.
8. People that use round numbers in their 'chatter'.....probably are wrong more times than they are right.
9. If you are continually dragged into arguments with people....is there any useful results? If not....just don't engage.
10. There are probably ten times the number of people walking around today, compared to 1976.....saying they are bullied or serving as victims. These people need to reflect upon who they are and how they got into such a lousy state of mind.
CBS News: "With the holiday season just around the corner, the U.S. Postal Service is looking to hire about 28,000 seasonal workers and is installing 137 new package sorting machines in an effort to avoid shipping delays. But postal worker representatives say Americans could see after-dark or even nighttime deliveries."
I paused over that.....after-dark/nighttime delivery.
I can think of three-hundred urbanized areas in the US....where a doorbell ringing at 8 PM.....might alert some guy to open the door, with a shotgun in his hand.
A 10 PM doorball ring, in downtown Chicago?
I see this as a big mistake. A bunch of hoodlums dressed up in postal gear.....faking an appearance at the door....robbing the guy.
Even in rural areas (like Alabama)......you probably might fear the guy at the door is some meth-head or nutcase.
Well....first, they avoided using the term Special Independent Counsel.....since the guy picked....already worked for AG (Garland).
Second, the problem demonstrated here is that the White House players (Biden and probably twenty other folks)....kept asking penetrating questions to Garland over various investigation ideas, and he (Garland) just finally folded and said this other guy....is the guy you can talk to and share your vest criticism stuff. This frees him from 20 man-hours of BS work each week.
Third, they wouldn't have done this if they felt that they could deliver a 7-million plus difference over Trump in 2024. I suspect that Trump and his players will go and find another 8-million 'extra and new' voters...to lay over his 2020 results (74-million).
Finally, if they can't find an angle to attach Trump to the 6 January chaos....this is pretty much a hopeless case for the Special Counsel. Maybe Trump will admit he ordered the Capital Police to open the door for the protest crowd to enter....to which the question will arise....if Trump didn't order them to do so, who did?
All of this simply makes DC look more like some comedy show.
1. When the smoke clears on 'who' lost money.....a fair sum will people who don't want to admit they had money made beyond the US shores, and were hiding a fair sum from tax revenue.
2. This guy (Sam Bankman-Fried) who was the CEO....appears to me to be fairly non-clever, and lacking the skills to be a CEO of a company. So it begs the question.....how did he rise in such a short period of time?
3. Money-laundering currency via Ukraine? I believe at some point....some of the funds we shipped to the Ukraine....ended up coming back to the US....re-converted from FTX to dollars. How and why? Might be interesting to know.
4. This guy (SBF) was a simple honest swinger, and the crew around him (the core of the enterprise) were also that type.
5. Bankman-Fried doesn't have the ability to take on stress....so I would imagine he's drugging-up presently, and probably will end up in a suicide situation before the end of November.
6. Any pension fund that invested money into FTX.....was royally screwing their people.
7. There's a massive amount of 'propping-up' that occurred, from NFL football types, to Hollywood types. They all seemed to flock to some 'Jesus-like' personality.
8. I think when the White House handlers finally approached Joe Biden on the situation....he asked what the hell is crypto-currency, and they spent two hours laying out the gimmick. Then Joe probably said....that's malarkey....what idiot would invest into 'nothing'?
9. When you look at interviews of the past year or two of Bankman-Fried....he gives dismal performances, and just makes you wonder how anyone would be convinced to buy into his 'product'. If I pulled into a Jiffy-Lube for a $29 oil change, and this was the kid at the counter....I might buy the service. But if this was a $10,000 situation? No.
10. So I gaze around at the Wall Street Journal, CNN, Fox Business....just wondering....how did you guys miss the fake nature of this?
Until you have a sit-down with the political players and agenda people.....to agree to categorizing people....none of this will be resolved and you will just throw money into a pit.
How you categorize people? Well....into four groups:
1. Drug addicts.
2. Mentally unstable.
3. People with no drug issue and no mental issue.....having a valued job skill.
4. People with no job skill, no drug issue and no mental problems.
Group #3 are the ones that you'd want to help relocate into a low-cost housing situation, some job coaching, and some life skills jobs. They will require a year of serious attention but can come back.
Group #2 needs a one-way ticket to a facility that has a fence, and don't really need a real urban environment.
Group #1 can be offered a one-time rehab deal. If they fail....don't waste time or money....just shuffle them into a fenced area and hold them in a prison type environment.
Finally, Group #4....this is the group has the highest cost....you need to provide twelve months of real job training, and a boot-camp atmosphere. They also don't require a highly urbanized atmosphere.
Yes, what I'm hinting is that you need to remove around fifty-percent of most of these people from SF, Portland, or NYC. They can be put into a pretty remote place and forgotten about.
If you don't have any willing nature to do this.....just write a simple rule that no more than $1,500 a month can be spent on any homeless guy/gal, and limit the public 'pain' involved.
