Sunday Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

If you want a prime example of "Go Woke Go Broke" look no further than PayPal stock. Over the past year they went from a high of $271 a share to about $90 today... Sometimes I have the sense of humor of a 12-year old boy... Something I wonder about - Winston Churchill was a hell of a polo player but a chronic dislocated shoulder cut short his playing career. Dwight Eisenhower was a fantastic football player but a knee injury cut short his college playing career. I wonder if both being former athletes gave the two a sort of bond that allowed them to work so well together in World War II? Sometimes its the little things that help make a great difference... Great little household tip… New Jersey is 7,354 square miles with a population of about 13 million. Israel is 8,019 square miles in size with a population of just under 10 million. Fairly similar. Israel has a GDP of $402 billion while New Jersey has a GDP of about $562 billion. I point out these similarities because it help put attacks on Israel in perspective. Any time an attack on Israel is in the news think how you’d feel if that attack was on New Jersey instead… Pretty cool… Part of me wonders if OPEC's unwillingness to help Joe Biden by increasing oil output is because they simply don't like him and hope high gas and oil prices will put the Republicans in office come November (plus they make boatloads of money in the interim)... McDonald’s staff harvesting apple pie filling… Amused thinking that somewhere in Hollywood there's somebody pitching another reboot of Murphy Brown and honestly thinking its a good idea... Told you I have the sense of humor of a 12-year old boy... If New Jersey was a sovereign nation their GDP would rank 24th in the world between Poland and Sweden. Pretty impressive… As always if this column has made you smile or think - don't be afraid to hit the like button. Also please subscribe (it's FREE) and share with your friends. Thanks in advance..
