Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

Is it possible that people will flee certain large cities like NYC to the point where the rent control apartments will be above market value? I can see that happening... If you vandalize a statue of Stevie Ray Vaughn in Austin you aren't a protester - you're an ignorant fuckhead criminal... Prediction - someone will come out with a fantasy football app where if an NFL player on your roster kneels during the National Anthem then that player is not eligible for any points that week. Not saying this is right or wrong but I am saying there would be a market for such an application... I would love to see Tesla come to some agreement to purchase the rights to the now defunct Pontiac brand. I think there would be a market for Tesla power trains, batteries and engines housed under a classic Firebird Trans Am body... If the NBA gets it going in the Orlando/Disney "bubble" it would be nice if the NBA and Disney allowed anyone staying there to accrue any loyalty program benefits even though the teams and the NBA will be paying the bills. Won't mean much for the millionaire players and owners but it would be a nice touch for the team and league personnel who have to be away from their families... Given recent world events I wonder if Alan Moore has changed his mind and dislike for the HBO adaptation of his graphic novel Watchmen... "Sometimes success is 3% brains and 97% not getting distracted by the Internet." - Shane Parrish...
