Today's Tids Issue 4,796
Fairness, Honesty, Integrity:
I put up my Christmas tree over the weekend, so that means I officially have the spirit, right? That should mean I can now officially avoid the incongruities of a media driven world and concentrate solely on the hearts of good people.
Have you noticed that lots of people test positive for Covid, and serious complications only seem to affect a few?
I noticed that the big state newspaper here Saturday Morning was gushing over the 3 RI Electors for the Electoral College. Hmmm, I remember four years ago they were climbing aboard the train to abolish the Electoral College. Media people hate readers and watchers and listeners with memories. If it wasn’t for the Comics and the Sports, and a few puzzles, I wouldn’t need a newspaper at all.
Did you realize that China’s Chang’e 5 Lunar probe is heading home with the first moon rocks in 4 decades; after docking with a spacecraft orbiting the Moon for the last 7 days? The probe made trips down to the surface where it collected samples. There’s a lot of things going on around us, unseen. You just got to wonder.
This morning I clicked to open my Tids Blog page and a Google page opened saying, “We are unable to retrieve. We don’t know why?” So, I Googled it to find out what was happening. And… it still didn’t know why. Weird, I thought, and then a little later I read that the huge Google Company had a mass Outage. Yikes. The world stopped, and we didn’t know it. You just gotta wonder what’s going on out there.
If I was Defense Secretary, I would be spending a lot of time beefing up Cyber Security. You’ve heard about the attack on the US Treasury by hack job that circumvented the best security systems of The USA, governments and biggest businesses. Cyber is scarier than nukes and hordes of soldiers marauding. You gotta wonder what’s going on that you cannot see.
The Question:
The huge entertainment events Touring industry say they have lost $30 billion in total revenue due to Covid cancellations. But in just a few months some of the biggest performers hauled in some big piles of dough. Name the top ten Haulers.
The Headlines:
--Stocks Jump As Vaccine Rollout Begins; Talk Of $908 Billion In Stimulus Again Adds Juice To Healthy Monday Start.
--Brexit talks To Resume After EU, UK Leaders Say Sime Progress Made; Bris says To Are Still Far Apart.
--First Covid Vaccine Doses Ad ministered InUS.
--Electors Meeting To Choose Biden As Prez.
--Russia Suspected Of Giant Hack Attack Against US Treasury.
--Trump Sending Mixed Signals About running In 2024.
--Firer Aid Accuses Gov Cuomo Of Repeated Sexual Harassment.
The irony of ironies is that if Trump wanted a favorable decision from the Supreme Court about flipping states election victories, the Conservative court with strict adherence to established law and original intent of the constitution (States absolute rights), would never over turn decisions made at the state level according to well established voting laws.
Have I told you lately how great I think Brahms’s first symphony is? To this tin ear, it rates right up there with the very best ever.
What non-risk people don’t understand about Covid, Department:
The old, “I’m too young to get sick, so let’s party” idea has probably caused more spreading of CV than anything. Consider that last Feb before most were aware of the insidious infectious disease, a company named Biogen had two-day brainstorming meeting involving100 of their managers from 29 states and many foreign countries from Sweden to Australia. You may remember the incident from the news of that time, but in a new scientific analysis report, 300,000 Covid cases were traced strain by strain to have originated at that meeting. This was not a meeting of bar hopping 20 somethings or teens in a house party, but at a fancy hotel involving some of the most knowledgeable Biogenetics people in the world. Think about all those naïve running around thinking this won’t hurt me, but totally don’t realize how they are bringing it home, or to workplaces where parents and grandparents, and people seriously at risk may come in contact with a misguided carrier. I know this idea of naïve carrier is not new, but the research that magnifies the how extensive Covid spread can go, is.
How can you tell if you’re are getting a leopard skin or a serval skin coat? hat’s something you may never have thought about.
“There’s a spike in Covid cases because there is a spike in testing. If we had more IQ testing, there’s be a spike in morons too,” From a factual Scientific mind, and Tids reader too.
One of the things I’m missing quite a bit due to Covid is not going out to eat at places that serve Schrod and haddock. That I am definitely missing.
Joe’s cabinet is taking on a distinct Obama flavor. That may mean he made a deal the 0-Man for a few endorsements, and/or it is just the nature of Government these days. The swamp is always there, and the same old people re-emerge -- despite the fact that they have never been elected, hey have a profound influence on the workings of the government. It’s like professional baseball and football, where managers and coaches are recycled, despite the fact they have proven to have been ineffective for decades.
The Answer:
Elton John’s “Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour” pulled in $87.1 Mil (Nov 2019 thru March 2020. Last year he took in $212 Mil for the year). Celine Dion didn’t do bad with $71.2 M. Next was Trans-Siberian Orchestra ($58M), U2, Queen and Adam Lambert, Post Malone, Eagles, Jonas Brothers, Dead and Company and at #10 – Andrea Bocelli.
One of the saving graces of the US is finding SC Justices with the honesty and integrity to remove themselves from the politics of situations. So far Kavanaugh and Gorsuch have proven that they will not march with Trump or any other president. I like that.
Two months to Valentines Day.
