Tuesday Flotsam and Jetsam
Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.
Used to be a journalism staple to “follow the money” to see to the root of most issues. Yet this doesn’t seem to be followed in most stories about Apple’s announcement of a $500 billion investment in the US. Apple is simply announcing this in an effort to avoid tariffs which would hurt their bottom line… If you are honest with yourself you have to admit one of the reasons NBA ratings are down is not just because of player movement but because of the politics of many players and the league office. Viewers were sick of the black lives matter messages and basically stopped watching. Watch to see if NHL and NASCAR ratings improve over the next 4-years as a proof... If the Trump Administration truly wants to get rid of the income tax think the right spin would be for them to say they want the US to be less dependent on the taxes of billionaires and millionaires and more reliant on free trade across the global. How could anyone be against that?… Business idea: T-shirt saying "Joy Reed was fired by MSNBC and I never got to watch her show"... Tomorrow Amazon is set to announce their new AI assistant “Rufus.” Think shortly every cloud hosting service or communications device manufacturer will have their own signature AI. I blame you Siri for starting the trend… Mitch McConnell was good at first but then he just went too far... So where is the Jeffrey Epstein client list already?… Kind of funny that MSNBC is eating their own over the firing of Joy Reid and her dozens of viewers. I mean I’m not going to watch the network or anything but funny nonetheless… Saw a headline reading “Only Fools Think Elon is Incompetent” but I read it as “Whole Foods” and I wondered what they had against Musk? Maybe because Jeff Bezos owns them?… Has anyone fallen further? Eight years ago people were asking if Obama was the black Jesus. Now they’re asking if Michele has a dick. Sorry but it’s true…
