Friday Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

Cisco Systems revenue came up $1 billion short of forecasts and supply chain issues with China were mainly to blame. Specifically power supply components. Gear can't ship without power supplies and revenue from software that is coupled with the gear can't be recognized until after the units ship. One would hope that today Cisco is looking at alternative sources for their powers supplies because you can't trust China - China is asshole... What are the odds if you see a person driving alone still wearing a mask that the person also has a Coexist bumper sticker? Pretty high I'd bet... Speaking of assholes - Bill Gates launches a baby formula company called BIOMILQ in June 2020 and now we're experiencing severe baby formula shortages. Not saying this is a case of post hoc ergo proctor hoc but I am saying Jeffrey Epstein's buddy Bill Gates is making it extremely hard not to believe in conspiracy theories... Speaking of conspiracy theories - the DHS's Disinformation Governance Board is being paused as proposed head Nina Jankowicz resigns. Afraid that the creepy 1984 come to life government oversight board is not dead though but just hibernating until Progressives wait for a more opportune moment to foist it on the American people "for the greater good"... Think you'd have to put me in the camp that believes expanding NATO at this time by adding Finland and Sweden is unwise. I'm more of in the camp of shrinking NATO perhaps by asking Canada to either comply with their NATO obligations or hit the bricks... Rejoice! The Boston Red Sox are no longer in last place in the AL East. Thank God for the Baltimore Orioles... The original Progressives in US history from the early 1900's were motivated by a liberal interpretation of Christianity. Today's Progressives don't have a trace of Christianity and it shows... In Spanish speaking countries is Dracula considered a feminine character? Wouldn't the Spanish masculine character be called Draculo?...
