Last night was the start of the new The Voice season. There were some pretty good singers and the judges were at their upbeat best. And I will probably bore you again with my reviews and criticisms, but that’s what I do: Fill space with anything I can find. I suggest that this year they have wone program devoted to favorite Love Songs. It’s what the world needs.

 

The commercial real estate markets may be hurting as so many people now work from home, and most likely will in the future.

Speaking of all sides of the story, Stanford University has completed a new study that proves students have trouble judging the credibility of information on line. It says students, even theirs, are duped by sponsored content and don’t always recognize political bias of social messages.

 

I told My doctor I broke my arm in two places. He told me to stop going there.

 

Actually, I don’t think a lot of people young or old don’t recognize political bias if the message is one they want to hear. Prez Trump is one of them.

 

I hear people saying that this Covid thing is getting them down, that being sequestered is hard. In fact many people are selling homes s because they think they need more space. You don’t need more space for love.

 

“Our economic crisis is as brutal as our health crisis.” That is a quote yesterday form the Smartest woman in the Universe, our governor and chairman of the Dem Governors Committee. Of course, many intelligent people said back in March and April that if we can’t balance managing Covid with managing the economy will be in a bad place in the fall. But of course Dems were seeing an advantage with a decline in the economic situation.

 

I had several emails yesterday following my short squib about the Navy guy giving up sports, because the athletes just don’t understand respect for the military. The emails all supported the Navy man of many battles for the freedom and perseverance of the USA.

 

A man tells a his doctor,  “Help me. I’m addicted to twitter. The doctor replies, “Sorry, I’m not following you.”

The Answer:

The six non-WS winners are Colorado, Milwaukee, Texas, San Diego, Seattle and Tampa Bay. Go Tampa Bay. Bonus: Amazon spends $22 Billion on R&D. The next four all above about $15 billon are Alphabet, Volkswagen, Samsung, Microsoft. The next five all over $10 Billon are China’s Huawei, Intel, Apple, Roche Holdings and J&J. Tis kind of investment over time will add brand new industries and many new jobs, Also adding lots of jobs are large companies spending on Capital Investment. Alphabet spent $20 bil there follow by AT&T, Verizon and Microsoft. Big business is still the engine. That’s how capitalism works for all.
