Still kinda thinking that Acela thing is a good idea. With BoJo Hospitalized does that mean she’s a reigning Queen? Thought Cromwell settled that. And it’s not quite- I have, myself, full confidence that if all do their duty, if nothing is neglected, and if the best arrangements are made, as they are being made, …

No Sports?

Our Current War
At the turn of the 20th Century there was a huge struggle between two Industrial Titans over the fundamental nature of our Electrical Power Grid. There’s a new movie with Benedict Cumberbatch now available on PPV but I think I’ll wait until it gets posted on Netflix or HBO (waiting on Ford vs. Ferrari too). …

Priorities
Here they are. Our country is now facing its worst crisis in modern history. We are in the midst of a COVID-19 pandemic that could lead to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Americans and infect millions of others, and we are entering an economic downturn that could be worse than the Great Depression …

Panic Buying
Well, not quite yet. I’ve been able to restrain the impulse so far but Amazon sales are skyrocketing and that’s not necessarily a good thing. They treat their employees like crap and are driving Mom & Pops out of business faster than Sam Walton. Don’t bother looking for gloves and masks, they’re out.

Forget Everything You Know About Money
Of course it’s about MMT. Ok, so this is a new source, and not a Nobel Prize winning Economist or former Secretary of Labor so I’ve had to review a sampling of material and while I’m not in 100% agreement it’s no worse than Samuelson (with whom I’m also not in 100% agreement nor any …

Double Down
So in Blackjack you’re dealt 2 Cards, one Face Up and the other Face Down. The value of concealment is absolutely nothing because you’re not playing against anyone at the Table, only the Dealer and they have to Hit on 16 and Stay on 17 (Goal 21, anything over immediately loses). But what about the …

Doomers
To begin with I’m 120+ Years old and have seen both halves of the Great War (1914 – 45) as well as people flying for the first time and then going on to walk on the Moon. And Civil Rights kinda sorta and some other positive developments but recently, as Marvin might say, I’ve sensed …

Not a Rant
Now this, this is a knife. This is a rant. I saw your adverts in the paper and I’ve been on package tours several times you see, and I decided that this was for me. Ah, good. Yes I quite agree. I mean what’s the point of being treated like sheep. What’s the point of …
