Volume Three: Number Thirty-Nine




Urban Landscape
Charlers Leickert
(1856)

Head On
For some of us, we have seen this on rushing train before, take President Reagan.

He signed an illegal immigrant amnesty that included many control measures, including a wall. What did the country get?

Financally, ...

Lots of folks are buying stocks, bonds, gold, silver, real estate, and ... even Bitcoin. These assets are at high valuations, but lots of folks are in debt. Where did that lead?

Internationally, ...

Manics are threatening to destroy our countries. What happened next?

Nationally, ...

Our country is facing many counter-cultural protests, supported by the media. Where did that lead?

Technologically, ...

We are seeing huge companies controlling vast national resources. How were citizens and workers affected?

Remember President Carter?

He was elected to succeed criminal and inept presidents. What messes did his successor have to clean up?

Things You Might Want to Think About

$16,000,000,000
Illinois owes a bunch of folks $16,000,000,000, and they want to borrow $6,000,000,000 to pay off some of their creditors.

Read the article for the continued hilarity

Algorithms
Who would have though that Amazon was helping terrorists?

Dirtbag
So, ... He considers his lawyers as biological enemies.

Immigrants
You're not imagining it.

Mikhail Kalashnikov
You know him as the inventor of the ...

Signalling
Whether the police conducted a raid on a hemp or marijuana growing operation isn't the question. Whether they had a warrant for the raid, also isn't a question. Whether they wasted precious resources, isn't a question, either.

Rather, ... It's why they are serving notice to a suspected meth dealer.

Slavery
I was wrong.

Villains
Repeat after me, 'Villains will innovate. If the government allows people to carry box cutters on planes, they will use box cutters to take over the plane. If we store our valuables on a computer (bitcoin, bank accounts, medical information, and ...), villains will steal, destroy, ransom, and ... on a computer.'

Overheard

"This will not end well."

"Too few Americans are qualified for the jobs available. Male working-age labor-force participation is at Depression-era lows. Opioid abuse is widespread. Homicidal violence plagues inner cities. Almost half of all children are born out of wedlock, and even more are raised by single mothers. Many college students lack basic skills, and high school students rank below those from two dozen other countries."

"Rocket Man is on a suicide mission for himself and for his regime."

"So, yes — it has come to this. Every black man and woman should arm themselves now for self-defense! The last time I checked, the Second Amendment applies to us too and I’m sure the NRA will vigorously support our efforts."

"In this war, I’m cheering for my team."

"They're destroying themselves, and sabotaging their own propaganda operations, because they're just too crazy to think or care about such things any longer."

"According to Young, straight black men are overrepresented in social justice circles and racism counters...."

"The community has shown itself to be unusually adept at navigating the intricacies of politics and government."

"It was these kinds of stories that hooked Radovan."
