The Ongoing Political Nightmare
I’ve been putting off putting my thoughts down with regards to the fallout of the election. However, today’s turn of events with the crazy protests over at the capitol have forced me to really take a look at what’s going on with the nation.

How I Would Solve the California COVID-19 Crisis
Apparently, LA Mayor Garcetti has issued an even stricter order that seems to leverage California Governor Newsom’s month long lockdown to effectively turn LA homes into cheap prisons for the state. I have some of my own theories on why he implemented this plan, but the bottom line is that I doubt this “plan” will…

My Apathy Towards American Politics
Anyone who really knows and understands me realizes that I don’t talk about politics that much. The biggest reason is that I simply don’t care.

The Reason Why America is Screwed Long Term
While Democrats celebrate their victory for avoiding the government shutdown, what was highlighted in all of this turmoil was the weakness in the way the government is run at the moment.
