Election Day Flotsam and Jetsam
Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.
This election does seem more important but all the same you know some people will start claiming that 2028 will be the most important election in your life… Think it’s hilarious that NBC had to give Donald Trump 90 seconds of free commercial time during their NASCAR race and Sunday Night Football to compensate Trump for Kamala Harris’s appearance on SNL. The guy who programs sports for NBC must have been real happy with Lorne Michaels over that… If a politician promised to fire James Franklin after Penn State's loss to Ohio State on Saturday would that pledge win the politician votes from all the Penn State fans and maybe even the state of Pennsylvania?... If/when Bill Belichick is hired as head coach for some NFL franchise how likely is it he also brings back Josh McDaniels as his offensive coordinator?... Already said I'm voting for Trump no need to keep giving me reasons... Peter Lynch famously said "A dept free company can't go bankrupt." The same is true of nations. That's why so many are concerned with our bursting national debt... SpaceX and Starlink both because cash neutral and cash positive last year. No matter how rich you think Elon Musk is - he's much richer in reality... True then and true now... You know we've gone full 1984 language wise if someone describes Joe Biden as a "happy warrior"... Question that has to be asked: are the same countries that want to put restrictions on AI the same ones who signed the Paris Accords? Would a Venn diagram of the two just be a circle?... If the Russian justification for invading Ukraine is that part of the Donbas was historically part of Russia would that justification also work for China reacquiring parts of the 5,000 mile border they share with Russia? Just saying people shouldn't sleep on that chance... John Jay was the first chief justice of the Supreme Court but resigned after 6-years to become governor of New York. Don't think you'd see anyone do that today. Just the opposite... Make sure you vote today…
