And so; how much less corrupt is the new “democratic” govt of #SouthAfrica. Like;as far as I know, no major hospital has been built in 30yrs. Infr projects are ignored. There’s no mgmnt of anything needing mgmnt. Kids have dark ages pit toilets. And ATROCIOUS teachers/curriculums

Jails haven’t been built; or nowhere near what’s needed; that’s for sure❗️And illegal immigrants reign free in the untaxable underbelly they don’t care about. And it’s not coz they’re stupid. It’s a system to hide corruption in. And to keep voters where they were!
ie: Unable to think critically; without enough information/education. #ThoughtControl And we ALL, the victims of the other side of the SAME placeholder blame game racism card. Still. Like in #Apartheid. Actually.
And then it’s “Afrikaners” who are a problem. Well; Mandela wanted a new start for everyone; his message was the vision of a rainbow nation. 1995 was an euphoric year filled with hope❗️And then as soon as he was out the way, BEE etc started; and the campaign
to blame whites for the STATE NOT DOING ENOUGH. Like if you’re a whizz kid you’ll be hired. Duh. Who doesn’t LOVE a whiz kid. I was never able to resist them. Across the colour spectrum. Folks weren’t not hiring blacks because of racism. It was coz of the lack of
qualifications/know how etc. then Indians, *better education*, became targets of you’re no longer black, as they were starting businesses/getting the jobs. From humble beginnings too; but BETTER education. And now; 27yrs later; the white minority feel threatened constantly,
& *guilty* for their “ancestors” and young black kids are now “fighting the apartheid” they know not much of. Coz of propaganda. Just like the #apartheid police state. You can’t have this policy/that law/restrict this and that to mask that you actually get NOTHING WORTHWHILE DONE
Just jump in and do the bloody work to raise up your people ALREADY, #Tsotsis: and reconciliation/true Ubuntu will rise up with that❗️How can it not❓It’s all about OBLITERATING POVERTY & IGNORANCE. NOT TENDERPRENEURS “fake”BEE scams benefitting politicians wives’ shelf companies
and the mega corporates buying them a beer at the #SaxonwoldShebeen❗️Like; did you read about the city council who are understaffed but they can’t find ANY skills. Like; how ridiculous❗️ #EducationTrumpsItAll

Like; HELLO: why are you fighting #Apartheid when it ended 27yrs ago❓

More from Government

Let me take a stab at this after years of reporting on Marine One, HMX-1, Continuity of Government, etc. None of this is definitive, but it could help explain what folks are seeing:

1.) HMX-1, which flies the VH-3D and VH-60N 'White Top' helicopters used to move... 1/X


the President and VP around, those helos being called Marine One or Two when either is onboard, need to train. The urban landing zones, including WH and VP Residence, are not simple to get in and out of. So, crews need some currency training. They are not just tasked with... 2/X

moving POTUS and VP to get them around the region and to Andrews AFB for long-haul flights, they are essential to Continuity of Government operations. This means that if a threat were to emerge, they need to be ready to snatch POTUS and VP in minutes. This is partially... 3/X

why they have a full forward operating location at Naval Support Activity Anacostia, just 3 miles from the WH. As such, practice is important and considering the state of things, it is critical now more than in any recent memory. 4/X

2.) Considering what happened last week, including mobs of Trump supporters screaming in unison to hang the VP for doing what the constitution states, absolutely despicable in every way, security has been tightened just as it has been all over. Using the helicopters instead.. 5/X

I’m torn on how to approach the idea of luck. I’m the first to admit that I am one of the luckiest people on the planet. To be born into a prosperous American family in 1960 with smart parents is to start life on third base. The odds against my very existence are astronomical.


I’ve always felt that the luckiest people I know had a talent for recognizing circumstances, not of their own making, that were conducive to a favorable outcome and their ability to quickly take advantage of them.

In other words, dumb luck was just that, it required no awareness on the person’s part, whereas “smart” luck involved awareness followed by action before the circumstances changed.

So, was I “lucky” to be born when I was—nothing I had any control over—and that I came of age just as huge databases and computers were advancing to the point where I could use those tools to write “What Works on Wall Street?” Absolutely.

Was I lucky to start my stock market investments near the peak of interest rates which allowed me to spend the majority of my adult life in a falling rate environment? Yup.
