Tuesday Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

Daniel Penny found not guilty in the subway choking death case. The country exhales as a hero walks free... Reports are that 100 Navy Seal veterans will march on Washington DC in support of Pete Hesgeth. The senators from each state of these veterans should be asked if they too support Hesgeth... This isn't wrong... Reports also say that Israeli air-strikes destroyed Syria's chemical weapons, air force, missiles, and air defense systems (which obviously didn't work). Supposedly this was billons in Iranian assets that were destroyed - if you were wondering where Obama's Iranian deal money went... People complain that educators are "teaching to the test" or that health care providers are only recommending what they know the insurance covers not what's necessarily right for the patient. In both cases it's because the incentives are messed up and need to be fixed... Why Syria is so important to many... Roar on the Other Side of Silence would be a good name for a book on the 2024 election and the return of Donald Trump... Reminder... The one change I'd make to the 12-team playoff field would be to still give conference champions a spot but give the 4 byes to the top 4 rated teams in the field. The current way is like giving Holy Cross a bye to the round of 32 in the basketball tourney for winning the Patriot League... Learn something new every day... Elon Musk says that many of the computer systems the federal government uses are so antiquated that those could be the reason so many departments can't pass an audit. Sometimes you need to spend money to make money. This could be such a case... Cornpop was a bad dude…
