Saturday Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

Big news: Vladimir Putin reportedly agrees to Ukrainian war cease fire but first wants to speak with President Trump. Who could blame him for wanting to make sure this was a high profile announcement... Think the simple solution would just to be to adjust the FDA's GRAS list to the roughly 400 ingredients Europe has already approved as being safe. Every other ingredient needs to undergo the normal testing. What wrong with that?... Supposedly Johns Hopkins University has had to lay off 2,000 because $800 million from USAID has been cancelled. All that time those journalists were writing about Jim Harbaugh supposedly buying a Michigan recruit breakfast on his own dime while millions in taxpayer funds were going to another school and I didn't see anyone writing about it... By the same token - I'd outright ban all chemicals in our foods banned in other countries. There's nothing wrong with doing that either... Once you see it… OK I’ll say it! Donald Trump saying he wants to eliminate income taxes for anyone earning less than $150,000 a year as soon as the budget is balanced reminds me of the joke about the guy who asks a genie for immortal life and is told the genie can’t do that. The guy then says OK I just want to live until Congress is made up of all honorable people… Simple rule in life - farmers not pharmas... Reminder… Now some Democrats are urging AOC to primary Chuck Schumer after his caving on shutting down the government. That’s what I want to see - some blue on blue violence. Get the popcorn ready if that happens… Speaking of getting the popcorn ready - interested to see how Disney tries to spin its latest woke disaster live action Snow White to investors…
