Wednesday Flotsam and Jetsam
Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.
You can't make these things up! A Democratic City Council Leader in Patterson NJ has been charged with stealing write in votes for the 2020 election. Safest election ever!... Two of the main differences between Tesla and traditional car companies is that Tesla does not advertise but relies on having a superior product and word of mouth. It also is non-union and provides workers the incentive of stock options which helps make that superior product possible. You can see the results yourself... It used to be if anything bad happened we would joke that the NCAA was going to do something bad to a bottom tiered team to make up for it. Now if Joe Biden if found to have committed a crime we joke that they'll have to indict Trump again. The Biden family corruption has become both a joke and worse than the NCAA... A little day after candy humor... Funny but when I was young Black Sabbath was considered a heavy metal band. Now they are considered classic rock or even elevator music... Elon Musk has said of California, "I came here when it was the land of opportunity. Now it's the land of litigation, regulation. and taxation." Ain't that the truth!... There is also an idea circulating that the $14.3 billion in aid to Israel could be paid for simply by taxing the endowments of universities. Not sure if that would work but I love the precedent... A PSA especially for librarians... Good luck to the Clippers on acquiring James Harden. That all I have to say on that... The Tesla robot Optimus is designed specifically to look like a "humanoid" - not something with wheels like others have done or with four legs like a dog like Boston Dynamics. These robots are close to replace humans to do boring repetitive tasks but it seems to be straddling the line where slavery resides. Probably very wrong about this but it somehow bothers me for some reason... The Christian Slater and Patricia Arquette move True Romance has been mentioned several times lately most as a Quentin Tarentino movie but to me it was really a Tony Scott movie (director of one of my favorite films Man on Fire). The movie is also well known as a breakout film for roles by Gary Oldman and James Gandolfini. Well worth a watch if you haven't seen it already (or if its been a while since you've seen it)... BTW - stayed at the Dover House in Delray Beach and would recommend it to anyone looking for a place to stay in Southern Florida... The Simpsons debuted on The Tracy Ulman Show in 1987. I’m so old that my ex-wife and I dressed as Homer and Marge for Halloween when we were newly married. The show is still going’…
