I guess it is inevitable, a civil war of sorts in Mexico, all around the cartels.
Elon Musk posted on " X" or Twitter or whatever you want to call it, that the President of Mexico is linked to the cartels. She has threatened legal action, trouble is, it is Mexico, who knows what in the world is going on down there.
I have not been to Mexico in years and years. I have no desire to go to Cancun, or Cozumel, or/and other resorts in Mexico.
Economically, I wonder if this will ruin the resorts there forever?
I know, that there were posts online that we need to vacation in Texas, trouble is, oldsters like myself have been everyplace in the state and well, I need to branch out. The only city I have not visited in this state is San Angelo.....And I ain't going there.
- This morning I see that the US Air Force has now sent 12 F-22 Fighters to an Israeli Air Force base.
The logistics for an attack on Iran are there. There are two carrier groups on station in the area. The Ford and the Lincoln.
From the USNI News.
"In addition to the naval buildup, the U.S. is also amassing dozens of fighter jets and other aircraft in the Middle East, according to Air and Space Forces Magazine.
The 48th Fighter Wing from Royal Air Force Lakenheath sent F-35s with aerial refueling tankers to the Middle East on Feb. 16, joining the 12 F-35As from the 158th Fighter Wing with the Vermont Air National Guard.
Multiple P-8 Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft and an RC-135 Rivet Joint signal intelligence aircraft have been spotted in the area with another RC-135 headed to Greek island Crete, according to the magazine.
The U.S. already has multiple F-35 squadrons in the Middle East, in addition to F-15Es, F-16s and A-10 Thunderbolt II attack aircraft. More aircraft are likely on the way to the region, according to the magazine".
Logistics like this don't happen often.
The question is, will we strike Iran?
I know the Iranians have received support, especially technical and radar from both Russia and China in the last 6 months. China has even sent anti-ship missiles to the Iranians.
Not going to lie, I hope cooler heads prevail in the Near East. I hope for no war.
- Was told by someone in the know that in Las Vegas, at least 50,000 people in the Casino, Hotel, Food industry have been laid off. No one is going to Vegas and to be honest, I have never been to Nevada. I am not a gambler. People have just stopped going to Vegas on vacation. It's too expensive and a lot of people do not have the extra money to gamble.
On that note, both Fanduel and Draftkings are both looking to lay-off people. No money to gamble is the cause.
There has been 16,000 technology lay-offs in February alone.
And lay-offs in companies like Maytag, Rovers North( Vermont company, I used to think I wanted a Rover II, IIA or III) and Jelly Belly candy.
Wendy's restaurants are closing several hundred store across America. I can't tell you the last time I had Wendy's. I think Dave Thomas was still alive. ( Dave founded Wendy's FYI)
I heard an economist say that there are more homes for sale, than people that can afford to buy them right now. ( We are still in an area where homes are somewhat affordable compared to other part of America. Look at major cities here in Texas for example.)
- Finally Buna Schools.
I am shocked at the messaging I have received over the last few blogs I have written.
People mad at me for saying negative about the district.
People whose experience is not so positive.
Like I said, I am shocked at the people I taught at Buna, their parents went to Buna, their grandparents went to Buna, and in some cases, their great-grandparents went to Buna....And they are looking to move, or get their kid in Evadale or LCM or even Deweyville to get away from Buna Schools. Many are looking at homeschool.
I had a former student I taught at Buna High write and ask this...."What happened since I graduated?" " Other than some test taking, my kid knows nothing." as someone wrote in my comments they reiterated, I am teaching my kids math and to a certain extent, grammar and reading. " " I may as well homeschool."
Again, let me remind you, you don't like the blog, don't read it.
