What’s up, everybody! Here’s my latest report. It’s Hurricane Season, and we need Governors to step up their leaderships because Trump isn’t the man for the job, and may have too much pride to let Mike Pence in charge of this topic. California continues to fight fires. An issue we ought to raise is the jailed firefighters who only make like $2/day doing the job. That is simply unfair and they need adequate compensation, especially since we don’t want California to burn. We had a short drizzle of rain, but we need a rainstorm over California. Let’s hope we get some in September and we don’t have to wait an additional month.
Some of you think you are “too cool for school.” Stop with that mentality. The hustle industry does not come with a 401K nor a health plan. You can work on your side projects, but you need to have your education. It’s vital. You need to keep your cool. It is very hard to keep your cool. It takes time. It takes years of experience. When we complain about “sitting at home” or “wearing a mask at the groceries store” there is a grunt right now in the military, and he’s walking through mud. Do you know what it’s like to be knee-deep in mud? It’s not pleasant. So I am tired when I see so many youth complaining that there isn’t anything to do. You have access to so many gadgets. When we were your age, we didn’t spend all day on Fortnite, we were on the playground. Just because you can’t go on the playground doesn’t mean you should stop physical activity. I find a yoga mat very pleasant. Even during your Netflix watching, you can simply lay on your yoga mat and do some crunches. Everybody made fun of that Peloton bike, but now even I want one.
I also want to address the fact that we need to investigate this COVID-19 crisis about the 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, and WalMart family. They have increased their wealth by BILLIONS, while the rest of us are making little crumbs. This is not fair. Everybody deserve fair compensation. Everybody deserve a paycheck. That’s why Universal Basic Income is such an ingenious idea. It’s not that people are lazy, they just don’t like doing work for free. In fact, people in UBI were very motivated to work. When you don’t have income, you are stressed out, you cannot pay your rent/mortgage/bills/food/etc. As a result, working becomes stressful. That’s why when you have a salary, you’re emotionally better, and you can perform well. When you see someone’s resume who is applying to a job, don’t consider them overqualified. We are living in a PANDEMIC. People desperately need jobs to put food on the table. Don’t deny them a chance to be an asset to your company or organization just because you think they’re overqualified.
Black Lives Matter. Stop shooting black people like hotcakes. This is ridiculous. You can’t let a white kid walk around with a AR-15 while a black kid gets shot for a candy bar. Obama isn’t a substitute teacher, he can’t just come back to the White House temporarily and give y’all a lecture. Everybody that hates the Trump Administration but still need to work needs to hold down the fort for less than 70 days until the next Administration (Biden/Harris) takes over. Then a lot of work needs to be done.
Stop thinking Democrats are unpatriotic. There are plenty of people in the Military/Intelligence community who are Democrats but wouldn’t dare to say so for fear of losing their jobs.
We gotta stay steady for less than 70 days. We can do this. Find a hobby that keeps you sane. You can do it. I believe in you. I’m going through my entire to-be-read list.
Thank you for making a videogame documentary on Netflix (HIGH SCORE). I hope there are more. There are so many unofficial ones on YouTube, but it’s nice to see them on netflix.
I was wondering if Spectrum could put all the seasons of “Mad About You” on Streaming, not just their app. It’d be greatly appreciated. I think it’s a wonderful story.
Dear Joe Biden, please get your staff to write a new National Security Strategy (NSS). Americans are super stressed out about this Jenga game of T-MINUS 70 DAYS UNTIL THE ELECTION. You need to really put on paper a plan that shows how you will truly get us out of this mess. You also need to show that this time, it’s gonna be different for people of color. They can’t deal with this amount of discrimination and violence on them. We need you.
Until next time!
