THOUGHTS About The News.

Reuters: “Sweden passes 'good behavior' law to kick out immigrants.” Just by reading the banner pitch, you’d start howling wadda(!!!) right? Anyhow, Scandinavian countries are known, controversially known, for their strict immigration laws, most of which I concur with. Example: Denmark requires newly arrived asylum seekers to pay for their own housing and food. Under this controversial "jewelry law," police can seize cash and valuables over DKK 10,000 (roughly $1,450). The government justifies this by arguing that refugees must help cover their welfare costs, though sentimental items like wedding rings are exempt. Oh yes. Not all refugees are dirt-poor, you see.

      Hey, why do migrants, off the southern border, love America? They can nonchalantly cross the boundary, in and out whenever. Get government dole-outs etcetera. So regardless that many are delivered to farms and factories to toil as virtual slaves, the other amenities that the U.S. offers are enticing enough. (Nope, I am not talking about the cartel angle. That’s another huge subject.) 🇸🇪🏃‍♀️🏃

CBS: “Former SpaceX welder becomes a millionaire after historic IPO.” Elon Musk’s SpaceX completed its Initial Public Offering (IPO) on June 12, which resulted in an implied valuation of roughly $1.77 trillion. Easily, that makes Elon the first trillionaire on Planet Earth. Hey, I don't care about the super-rich or how their wealth measures to trillions$ or gazillions$, as long as their lowly workers become rich, too. So, yes! Elon Musk for President! LOL! 💰😎💰

People: “Just a tight circle gathered on Buckingham Palace's balcony for Trooping the Colour.” Just talking about numbers, okay? No judgment at all. The UK’s “Trooping the Colour,” which involves over 1,400 parading soldiers etcetera, costs an £10 million (or $13.4 million) to hold. Meanwhile, a U.S. review of troops or military parade is estimated to cost between $25 million and $45 million. Concerned? 

       Well, check out China. Although the CCP does not publicly disclose the specific budget for its troop reviews or military parades, security analysts from Taiwan estimated that Beijing’s version of such an event approximately costs 36 billion yuan (or around $5 billion). Uh huh? Yet China’s military budget of $277 billion is “spare change” compared with America’s unbelievable $954 billion, and exponentially spiking! 🙂🙃😉

Reuters: “UAE reportedly releases billions for Iran in major diplomatic shift.” Makes sense to me. Instead of handing arms aid to a favored side in this war, the UAE offers money to the other side. This war has already stalled so much economic activity and the fact is, the Iranian people need help. 

       Plus this: The total business investments across Arab League nations exceed $910 billion. These state-owned investment funds manage over $4 trillion globally. They invest heavily into technology, artificial intelligence, and infrastructure. Take note as well that although the UAE and Iran are traditional rivals or non-allies, they are both new members of the China-led BRICS trade bloc. 👍☮️👍
