READING THE TEA LEAVES 13Ba

LIFE IS A GAME OF CONNECT THE DOTS, IF YOU DON'T CONNECT ALL THE DOTS OR DON'T CONNECT THEM IN THE RIGHT ORDER YOU NEVER GET THE PICTURE READING THE TEA LEAVES 13Ba I mentioned two things last night. But why? At my age (almost 73), I am no longer impressed by the loud noises, not only that I no longer listen to loud music, but having been on tank gunnery ranges, listening to gunfire, being in helicopters, working on generators, on diesel engines, and such (not to mention speeches. Political and otherwise and the talk radio too), I am not impressed by noise or its source. I like to see the results, most of the time, I am not disappointed, I don't expect any. So it is in real life too. Many long years ago, I mentioned, I am not a fan of anyone, I don't idolize anyone, I don't worship anyone. You are free to disagree. When the music stops, and get off the "merry go round", nothing will have changed. Yes someone may lose there job, some may lose their healthcare, foodstamps and such, but the system will remain, it will only be more corrupt. What we forget in our unbounded excitement is, that there are tens of thousands of contractors, and millions of other "hangers-ons" that will not disappear, the Hydras will survive, be it Boeing, Raytheon, Blackrock, Frontier Resources Group or any other mercenary outfit. Even if we do away with the CIA and USAID, the FBI, then Palantir, Google and Musk’s own AI and robotics companies will do the surveillance work, (of no limits on domestic spying). There is no reason to believe that the government will save money, no such thing. Privatization only works for those that have the capital, you can take your 250k IRA and pound dirt. Children are easily impressed, a clown, a simple magic trick, a balloon popping can make them happy, a peek a boo, with eyes partially open is AMAZING. But such is life I WILL WRITE MORE SOON M. N.
