Sky Watching:
One
of the things that makes life seem a little less
squelching and irritatingly progressive is that we still have seasonal openings
of businesses near to the heart, like ice cream stores and coastal seafood restaurants.
And,
you don’t need an app to use them.
Anybody
who has been looking for ancestors has been using census
reports of the 19th and twentieth centuries. And, you have noticed
that “Are you a citizen” is one of the standard questions. So, to say that
asking that is some new demonic idea form Trump is just plain deceptive politics
usual.
There
are so many methods of mass messaging and reporting, that
news becomes old hat in about 8.645 minutes. If not sooner. So now instead of people
who forgot history, we have millions who just forgot yesterday.
The
Question:
Last night a great NBA basketball player, Russell Westbrook
, accomplished the 20-20-20 feat. That’s’ Points Rebounds and Assists over twenty.
His actual line was 20 points 20 rebounds and 21 assists. Only one other player
in history has accomplished that. Who was it?
The
Headlines:
--Investors Like Weaker Than Expected Jobs Report
And Improved Trade Numbers; Markets to Open Higher.
--Illegal Immigrants Cramming The Border Has Reached
A True Crisis Stage.
--Bermuda Chasing Crypto Currency Business.
--Trump To Lay Off Health Care Until After 2020
Election; Says It Will Be A Campaign Issue; Repub Senate happy.
--FEC Issues Complaint Against AOC Campaign And Manager;
Campaign Manager Charabarti Said To Have Run Secret Subsidy Schema To Hide Illegal
PAC Conurbations.
The
problem with illegal immigration could be curtailed at
two sources of proliferation: Countries wo make it impossible for their citizens
to live there, and US employers who hire them. As steady readers of Tids know,
we have promoted both over the years. Trump’s threat to forfeit US doles to dictators
is a step but so far poorly presented.
A
kidney is a young goat’s leg joint.
Sometimes
a good story just writes itself and a good writer
will follow it to the end, helping with adjustments for forks’ in the road or yield
signs.
Every
person holding a smartphone while standing on a city corner
looking up and down the street is easy prey for a fake Uber or Lyft driver.
After
the first week of the AAF (Alliance For American Football) it
looked like at long last n alternative professional Football league had a chance
to make it. Yesterday they announced they were shutting down. Somethings have
been proven as just not having the ability to work. But there will always be somebody
who thinks they can do it better than those who have failed before.
Talk
about bad business timing. Pony Express was announced to the
public with Huzzahs and excitement. Pei0ple were happy: It shaved ten days off
of coast to coast delivery of messages. Holy Twitter, Batman! Alas 18 months
later it was out of biz after the telegraph went transcontinental 1861.
Based
on what they know and see, CFO’s of American are predicting
a slowdown by the end of 2020. But the good news is that almost all don’t see a
recession. Major concerns are trade policy and tariffs, political turmoil and
rising interest rates (Currently tempered).
The
home, cars and life style of the pharmacist triggered
accusations of ill-gotten wealth.
Of
Dem Candidates reporting money raised totals. So far, Bernie
is on top with $18.8 Mill, followed by Kamala Harris with 12M and the surprising
Pete Buttigieg (The bane of Spell-Check) at $7M and Beto at $6M. The DNA Indian
princess isn’t telling yet, but will have to by April 15th, when all will bare
their souls. And, dropping out will become the major consideration.
Trump
said yesterday, “Having fun yet, Joe”. The battering of
affectionate Joe is just one more example of why intelligent people are reluctant
to run any longer for President.
The
top three companies where people want to work are Amazon, Facebook
and Alphabet. The question Is -- why? Why would anybody want to work under super
High pressure 18 hours a day? The answer is simple. To pad their resumes. Earn
a few scars while you are young for the big payoff as you move towards maturity.
In tech land, maturity is about 35.
The
neighborhood of several authors was known as writer’s
block.
The
Answer:
The only other NBA player to hit 20-20-20 was the Wilt
Chamberlain who holds many records for over abundance, on and off the court.
I
think that Thoreau had it right, sitting in a tree, by a
placid pond. No twitter, or even Pony Express.
