#5 The theater reminds me of the misbegotten Strode family that Oprah paraded on her show a few years ago, just to spite christians and insult evangelicals.

#7 AM 870 KRLA has a radio show Sunday night where
California Taxpayer’s Union, Mike Alexander,
California public employee and union wage grift.
There are public employees who have annual salaries above $200K who get to retire at young ages with full %100 of salary pensions for the rest of their lives.
These huge future financial liabilities are not reported in any budgets because they would explode the budget.
Many California cities are going bankrupt during good economic times because of these huge pension liabilities.
No one talks about it as the true financial crisis that it is.
Rather they want to talk about some other bogeyman crisis of another name, e.g. "climate change".
Any crisis can be used to generate funds to help backfill the pension crisis.
But these other revenue generators will never be able to fill all the holes in the public purse.
The financial crisis is basic math that our children will for certain inherit our huge credit debt.
Global warming predictions are based on very complicated forecasting models that can be easily fudged to produce outcomes in either extreme.
The bottom line is we don't know the future.
I believe only God knows the future.
Anyone claiming to know what the future is or who believes man alone can change the future is playing God.
No weather forecaster warned the Bahamians that hurricane Dorian was going to stall over their islands and and wreak great destruction.
I did not hear any weather forecaster apologize to the Bahamians for failing to recommend evacuations.
If only Thunberg would rip the politicians for not donating their huge pensions to help fight climate change.

#22 The financial crisis is basic math that our children will for certain inherit our huge credit debt.

Visiting with trailing daughter #2 and her husband, now thoroughly grown up. Td#2 mentioned she is very privileged — her colleagues at the big international company — university graduates, all — not only have absolutely no idea about saving for retirement, but they know nothing about limiting spending to match income, nor have any concept about budgeting at all. They didn’t grow up working for their spending money, they not only had no idea what their parents made, they didn’t even know what their parents did for a living — if they wanted something their parents either bought it or gave them money. She has been gently educating those around her, because the need is so clear.

I am flabbergasted. I never knew what my parents earnt or the household expenses — they thought that children had no business knowing such things —but I knew what they did to get paid for it, and sometimes was drafted to help; we had to do chores for our allowance; and I knew at least that when all the money is spent, stop until more money comes in, which it always does eventually. They tried to teach us to save, but as that wasn’t a skill either of them had, it didn’t really take. I was clever enough to let Mr. Wife teach all that to the tds, starting with setting up three piggy banks for each as soon as she could count — one each for spending, toys&presents, and university (short term, mid term, and long term goals); and then their weekly allowance came in three coins — and later multiple coins that divided evenly into the total for the math of the thing — which they got to deposit properly, then count up totals until they were large enough to open savings accounts with. When they started earning outside money as soccer referees, they divided it similarly.
