DST is unhealthy, but we return to it on March 9th

Standard time matches our body’s internal clock. The daily cycle of natural light and darkness is the most powerful timing cue to synchronize our body’s internal clock. When we receive more light in the morning and darkness in the evening, our bodies and nature are better aligned, making it easier to wake up for our daily activities and easier to fall asleep at night. Daylight saving time disrupts our internal clock, leading to sleep loss and poor sleep quality, which in turn lead to negative health consequences.

On Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

One knows the idea behind DEI was total bullshit when it was never ever applied or incorporated in professional sports such as baseball, football, or basketball. Can you ever imagine watching an all-inclusive Super Bowl? Think about it!

On Zelensky

Similar to Pence, I don't think Zelensky is aware that his political career is over. Of course, Pence's ended on January 6th, 2021, and Zelensky is hanging on by a thread, but it's definitely over.

Tax cuts?

Don't believe all you here. Shockingly, the tax cuts will most likely be given to all. Don't doubt the IRS may even be eliminated one day soon. They were supposed to have been a temporary thing anyhow. Of course, the Supreme Court will most likely have to review the 1916 decision.

Art or something else?

I only watched the first quarter and part of the second last night (Super Bowl). I hear the half time show was the worst ever. Again, I didn't watch, but I am always skeptical when they give lots of awards to an artist and tell me they are popular and what I should be hearing. Agendas are spread on all levels.

On DOGE

DOGE isn't even scratching the surface yet. I don't see what the fuzz is about. The corruption is and has been beyond rampant.

On protesting

People have a right to protest! However, they do not have the right block public streets. Why? Blocking a street is trespassing on public property and a violation of the rights of fellow citizens who need to commute for many purposes including access to health, which may include safety, and life and death situations, among many other reasons. .

Why Canada would be better off being the 51st state

I am not going to provide the specific numbers in this brief post. Do the research to confirm my argument. I will simply compare and contrast Canada with the state of California to make the case.

Canada and California have basically the same population, give or take a million citizens. California, however, has almost twice the GDP of Canada. Yet, California is only around 14 percent of the United States' national GDP.

Becoming the 51st would reduce many of Canada's expenses such as military, which would help their economy grow almost immediately. This would also increase greater potential for future growth. I will stop here. I do have an MBA, but I am not a genius. Of course, obviously, Trudeau hasn't gotten this yet.

Disinformation and common sense

One has to use common sense! Disinformation is spread by sources that lie and often don't provide a name for the specific source that gave them the said information. 

With relevance to Cuba

With relevance to Cuba, I've always found some of the past U.S. policy difficult to comprehend, or perhaps hypocritical. Why? We went to...
