Wednesday Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

Think one of the reasons you don't see Jason Tatum listed in any MVP rankings is because last year many of the same voters had him as a longshot chance to be MVP and he let them down. They're not making the same mistake this year and thus no high ranking for him. Reminder despite making the NBA Finals last year he was just 24-years old... When it comes to stopping court or field charging I think that non-student ticket holders should face a permanent ban of having their seats revoked while students should face expulsion - especially if the home team is favored in the point spread. The school AD or President could rescind the expulsions but have to pay a multi-million dollar fine... First it was Mercedes and now it's Audi giving up on their pledge to go all EV. Who can blame them? Starting to rethink it too... This is real 1984-type language manipulation here… Teddy Roosevelt once quipped that, "The reason fat men are so good natured is they can neither fight nor run." There's no way he'd get away with saying that today (though it never stopped being true)... Reminder that if you're still reading the NYT - you've lost your way and should seek help... If Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez really believes that we only have 7-years left to us because of climate change - why is she wasting the rest of her life in politics? And why is she wasting her life living on the coast in NYC and DC if she's afraid climate change is real? We should vote her out of office for her own good...  Reason why I can't advocate for a team forfeiting a contest or losing a home game because of a court/field storming is we can't hold the team or coaches responsible for the fans actions... Charlie Munger once said that, "To me, saving was as natural as breathing: I knew if I saved $10 I was really saving $100 or $1,000 because of the future growth." If your aware of the power of compound interest - this is a pretty great mindset to have... Was going to write a post on Catherine Herridge, her reporting, and CBS News caving to the FBI that was protecting the crooked Joe Biden but thankfully many have taken up the banner of awareness. It’s time we put the “news” in CBS News in scare quotes because it stopped being real news years ago…
