Netflix Redo of 'Little House On The Prairie'?

I sat yesterday and read through the story.....yeah, there seems to be willing nature to bring up a updated LHotP.  My view of what is to come?

1.  Indian Chief Blue Cloud has kidnapped 'Ma', and found that she's a pain-in-the-ass...releasing her two days later.

2.  Mrs Olsen is screwing around with 'Barney' (the stable-hand).  

3.  There's a small tribe of six Indians living north of Walnut Groove....oddly....all guys, no women.

4.  Halfway through the first season....the school-teacher is found to be an idiot....who can't read/spell, and hallucinates a good bit.

5.  Some local trader comes through and sells some bottles of high-content cocaine-like stuff...that drives Walnut Groove people crazy for  24 hours.

6.  Mr Olsen opens up a saloon.

7.  Mr Olsen leaves his wife at the end of season one, but returns to  her by end of season two....admitting he needs to be controlled. 

This Trump-Guantanamo-EO

 Yesterday, Trump indicated that there will be a situation where the bad-boy illegal guys (with serious charges), will be picked up....taken to a plane, flown into Guantanamo Bay's military facility, face charges/conviction there, an probably spend their sentence there (unless their home-country takes them back).

How many?  Well....no one says, but there's some indication that several thousand will end up there.

A shock for the bad-boys?  Oh, I'd say once the guy lands in Guantanamo and figures out the whole landscape ahead of him (maybe the rest of his life there)....it might be pretty dramatic.

What I think will develop here?  Trump will eventually offer countries like Libya or Chad....some deal.  If you take thirty of the convicted bad-boys....here's 30-million dollars.  

People getting bothered by this?  Oh yeah, but basically....these weren't like 99-percent of the other folks who are trying hard to make it.

Trump 'Deal'

 What President Donald Trump has laid out....if you work for the federal gov't....you can get a buy-out....worth seven months’ salary....if you opt-out to leave the job by Feb. 6. 

So you have a week a week....more or less...to take the deal.

If you remain past 6 Feb, and get terminated.....your deal will be a lot less than seven months of salary.

I would imagine at least 100k folks are sitting at the table and talking to their spouse about the deal.

If you were on a GS salary of $110k a year? You were making $9100 a month (before taxes/social security).  Trump's deal would get you $64k roughly.  

A plan?  Well....you are probably existing in a job-situation  that begs  questions. If you were around 62....you'd take the cash...retire early and sell the Maryland/Virginia house....escaping off to Tennessee or Iowa.

If  you were age 55?  This would scare the crap out of you....you need five to seven more years to reach a safe point.

If you were in your 30s? Absolute fear.

My humble guess? I'll suggest that 10,000 take the deal....with another 30,000 waking up in June....grasping their job is gone and they can't get a 7-month  deal. 

The Reverse On Kicked-Out Military Folks?

 President Trump issued an E/O....which basically says....if you were kicked out of the military (2022/2023) because you refused the Covid vax....you will be offered a chance to re-enter, and paid all lost wages.

I sat and contemplated the wage stuff.  For an E-6 (figure 12 to 16 years in)....with housing figured....three years minimum to be paid....so in the $120k-plus paid out. 

A smart guy will take the re-enter deal....put the $120k into a IRA/stock, and work three to six additional years...then retire (collecting his pension).

How many folks?  Well...for active duty folks....up around 8k to 9k.

Some bad blood lingering?  If you were one of these folks and come across the commander who pushed you out....it's not going to be a friendly matter. 

The smart guy here?  If you were approaching age forty....ready to clear out and retire with 22 years of service by 2030....that $120k invested wisely....by age fifty....could put you into a terrific early retirement position.  

Four Observations

 1.  If you are a California resident....owning property, and paying taxes yearly....you kinda figure that the money will go your safety and security (the fire department and police).  So when the money ends up in homeless 'free-money-pits' or going toward migration programs....you lose trust.

2.  Various social media sources in Washington report that psychologists are being invited in to explain how to handle Trump-stress....within political figure groups. I would imagine therapy and shots of whiskey are being offered.

3.  Senate seats flipping to Republican in 2026?  Georgia, Michigan.  Republican  Senators likely forced out by primary action....Cornyn of Texas, Graham of SC, Tillis of NC, and McConnell of KY.

4.  There's some statistical data showing car accidents rate increases....if you have sleep apnea.

Reading Level Story

 I read a piece today....saying from across America...that 54-percent of Americans read at the sixth-grade level OR BELOW.

I paused over this.  

Lets be honest....if you lined up 100 kids who graduated high school in the last year.....probably half of them are in the 6th-grade level.  

This making them risky at grasping instructions?  Well....yeah.

Easily BSing them, giving them fake stories?  Well...yeah.

One of My Military Stories

 It was a ironclad rule of the  Air Force....you show up for a military-contracted passenger flight....you had to be in dress-uniform (Army, Air Force, Navy)....it didn't matter. 

I showed up in St Louis, for one of these passenger flights....early 1990s.  Military folks doing tickets/boarding.

Air Force couple shows up in uniform, and gets their boarding pass....boards....then goes to the plane toilet.....changing out of the uniform in jogging pants/t-shirts.

Around a dozen passengers (mostly junior officers) go berserk....'you-can't-do-that'.

The couple refuse to comply (they were both E-6's from what I could figure).

Contracted stewardesses refuse to get into this....telling the whiners to shut up.

Within a year....the regulation had changed so on these military-contracted flights....you could wearing civilian clothing.
