A few random thoughts

[Troy]

Kamala Harris was in a relationship with the dude that was 40+ years her Sr. I can’t help it, but that strikes me is kind of wild. The brother was downtown Willie Brown he’s 90 now.

 

Mellody Hobson has a new book out as I was looking up information about her to add to the website. I saw that she was married to A white guy ( George Lucus) that is 30 or more years older than she is. again, people can love who they wanna love it would be like me hooking up with a 90 year old white lady. That would understandably raise eyebrows right?
 

So I’m in a bar and a guy next to me is from Fort Myers.  He told me that his firefighter buddy said they ordered 1000 body bags. He said they needed 1000 more. He says more than 2000 people were killed in the hurricane Milton. I did not believe him because the news did not report nearly that late. I asked him why did the news report that many deaths. He says you can’t believe the news. I was like if there were that many deaths they need to report it. that way people would actually leave when they tell him to leave.. I said well maybe they did report those deaths because they don’t want people to leave the state….

If she's 59 as they say, there's only a 31 year age difference between them.

 

Decades age difference not uncommon when it comes to old dudes dating younger women. Been happening since the beginning of time.

 

However, there's a double-standard when older women date younger men.

 

I think it's great for older women to get their groove on with a strong back cat.

When she bought into the sports team, I recall it mentioned that Hobson was married to a white dude. 

 

No surprise. not easy for rich sistas to find rich brothas. No shortage of white men and others who are well off though.

It would raise eyebrows but shouldn't. People need to mind their own business instead of  judging who meemaw chooses to share her pie.

The media is reporting less than 50 people. That's a huge difference. The secret won't last for long if folks are spreading it in bars.

Short of threatening to arrest them, some people won't leave no matter what they're told. Gonna ride it out.   

 

Not necessarily a bad thing that people take their chances with natural disasters and other risky behaviors.

 

Some folks aren't afraid to die. As long as it doesn't endanger anyine else, they should have a right to choose how they die too.

This places the first responders at risk as they go in to try to save those people.

 

It is starting to become frustrating as I look at people continually rebuilding in the same places that get pummeled by hurricanes every year, twice a year. The argument I keep hearing for this is that “this is my home“ practically speaking that is a pretty weak argument, but it is a emotional one and emotional arguments generally win.

I dunno maybe, maybe not. Do you draw the line at any age difference 31 years is cool. What about 41 or 51 years?
 

Let’s say it was your senile 90-year-old father and some 30-year-old woman (or man)  was talking about they was in love with pops. Surely the attraction is not sexual. You wouldn’t think that they were interested in his pension, his house, and any other material possessions that he might have that they would get when the old man  croaked next day?

[Pioneer1]

I was thinking the same thing.
She just turned 60 and he's 90....so there is a 30 year age difference.
Although he does look good for 90

You're starting to sound a little like a CONSPIRACY THEORIST with those FEMA body bags...lol.

Do you mean the death toll was around 2000 for Milton...or did you mean Helene?
I haven't heard of much damage from Milton, but they're STILL finding bodies from the damage Helene did.

Just like the military, first responders signed up to do that work. Nobody forced them.

Rhetorically, the question is *why* are folks allowed to build homes and live in swamp land, flood plains and other areas prone to natural disasters. Follow the money.

Neither the age difference nor what happens to the pension is anybody else's business. The old man earned it. Hopefully he has a Will.

Of course it is. If the familial wealth is supposed to be passed down to the family and some grifter comes through to take the old man’s wealth away from his descendants, that’s a problem.

 

Now I’m not trying to say that Hobson and Harris are grifters, but they ain’t F’en with no broke Niggaz either.

Lol true
 

I was relating the story to my kid last night who is a nurse and a fellow nurse told her the same thing I told her that’s how conspiracy theories start.

By the same token, I’m in no position to prove anything. I can only rely on what I’m being told. But I consider the source. And both of mine is basically gossip. It seems to me it would be hard to hide 2000 American deaths from a storm — Surely reputable source would investigate this and cover it.

My point is paw-paw should have tightened up the inheritance business with a Will or Living Trust before he started tricking for  young coochie.

 

The problem I have with grown azz heirs (folks over 35 years old) is what the f8ck were they doing to secure a bag instead of waiting for their parents, grandparents or other family members as old folks to die and leave them an inheritance. 

 

Don't get it twisted....I'm not writing that old people deserve to be tricked. They should have their business straight.

 

Right behind reading books, Black folks seem to h8te paperwork especially when it comes to their mortality. Hard getting them to codify their business affairs.

[Pioneer1]

I support both the RIGHT to prostitute and the RIGHT to gold dig, as long as both parties are consenting adults.

If I really loved a woman or was infatuated with her sexually and couldn't get her any other way EXCEPT with my wealth, I'd absolutely use it!
And be GLAD that I had the wealth to use!

Back in the day when I'd buy something and then later on kind of regretted that I spent so much money on it although I DID want it, a wise person would tell me to stop regretting and BE GLAD I actually HAD the money to spend!

Right. The main reason most.Black men try to make a lot of money is to 1) live comfortably and 2) pull the type of women to whom they're attracted.

 

Heterosexual men don't need a lot. We mainly want that bomb box from a woman we don't mind looking at and listening to on a regular basis.

[Pioneer1]

When I was a teenager, I was told by a few of the OG's that I will eventually come to realize that there is more to a good woman than just a nice body and pretty face or even sex.
They told me that the older I got, the more her attitude and behavior would matter.

I relish the wisdom some of those bruthaz passed down to me.

I've come to enjoy the sound of a REAL woman comfortable in her femininity.

One of the reasons I like foreign women is hearing them talk to each other.

They sound so feminine and happy when they're chattering to eachother in their own language.
I just sit in a corner on my laptop and just listen to them while engaging in my own business.

It may read cliche but ultimately, the best relationships are built on friendship first and foremost. Everything else is subject to fade over time (looks, s8x, health, etc.).

 

The *right* person to keep around long term should be someone who can be considered a friend too.

 

Otherwise, a man's failure to invest in a solid friendship with benefits could leave him ending up old and alone or losing his pension to a trick.

As cruel as it may sound.....some people SHOULD be alone.

When my female friends or female relatives talk about some man they're always trying to hook somebody up with, I point out to them (similar to what you suggested in the other thread) that there is a REASON that man is by himself and doesn't have a girlfriend or wife at his age.
Usually, there are MULTIPLE reasons.

I tell them to leave men like that alone and let them BE.

You never know WHO or WHAT kind of psychotic clown you may be hooking your friend up with...lol

 

 

On a more positive note........

Just because somebody is alone, doesn't mean they're lonely.

Some people are introverted and do just fine growing old and alone by themselves.
They manage to find help when they need it without the drama that comes with a lot of social relationships.

Absolutely. Not cruel at all. Some folks are  happier than a  pig in slop being alone and perfectly fine with it.

 

I was referring to folks who don't want to be alone bit too lazy for invest in companionship.

Maybe it is because of the other hurricane and they did not want the Floridians to leave the state. The media kept saying that the people needed to evacuate from certain areas like from Tampa but they urged them to go to other areas with relatives and such but in the state of Florida. The repeatedly said there was no need to go out of state and I thought that was strange at first. But then I thought that was because of the other hurricane hit North Carolina so hard that they did not want people leaving Florida altogether. So then the hurricane hit the east coast really bad with floods and maybe a lot of people were affected in regions like that. 

[Pioneer1]

Well this happens EVERY YEAR.
It's not like they were caught off guard or hurricanes happen once every 50 or 100 years.
EVERY YEAR you have hurricane season where atleast a half dozen major hurricanes hit some place in that Gulf region from Texas to the Carolinas.

The federal government along with the states should have BEEN had a contingency plan to mass evacuate people from any part of that region they have reason to believe will be devastated by an imminent hurricane.
Rail lines should be built along with high speed trains.
Thousands of busses should be on the ready.
Sites for immediate housing should be set up with food and medical supplies.

There is absolutely no reason why the wealthiest nation on the planet shouldn't be totally prepared for these type of disasters.
....except if the operation is being ran by White racists and they are engaging in a tactic called: ENVIRONMENTAL ERROR FACTORS


In that case, expect for any system they put in place to fail the people because it will be DESIGNED to fail on purpose.

There is no money in a cure, solving problems or preventing crisis.

 

Billions of dollars are generated through destruction and loss of life. 

 

Watch their hands.  Follow the money.

Just like they could make MUCH more money curing these diseases and keeping the human population strong and healthy to be more productive.....

I believe that if they spent the money to INVEST in building proper mass evacuation infrastructure it would not only SAVE more lives but it would actually make MORE JOBS for the engineers, construction workers, and local businesses that would cater to those train/bus lines.

When it comes to the White Racists, I'm beginning to think it's really not about money.
It's about control and mistreatment.

I've said many times that a lot of poor White racists CHOSE to give up the factory jobs and let them go overseas rather than continue to see Black men come up North, take them, and buy houses and cars bigger than theirs.
They didn't care about the money.
It was about the control and making sure they were "above" the Black men they were competing with.

Saving lives, increased population and folks and living longer doesn't equate to more money. Especially not when technology is taking over and doing the work.

 

China, India and Africa have over 1 billion podple. It doesn't make them more productive and wealthy.

 

Wealthy folks are trying to figure out how to decrease world population.

How do mass evacuation structures generate money when there's no disaster?

Control and mistreatment is one aspect of it. Protecting resources and wealth for themselves is another.

White men don't have to compete with Black men for jobs and opportunities. They can relocate to places where there's little or no Black people.

The population of the United States is bigger than anytime before.
And it's also at it's wealthiest.

 

The same can be said for most Western and Industrialized nations.

 

With proper government.......

More people = More wealth 

 

 

China, India and Africa have over 1 billion podple. It doesn't make them more productive and wealthy.

 

You may have to look at the QUALITY of the people rather than the QUANTITY, to figure out why, lol.

 

 

 

 

How do mass evacuation structures generate money when there's no disaster? 

 

The same way the military generates money even when there is no war, through selling fear and routine preparation drills.

 

 

 

 

Where did white racists go to work once jobs were out-sourced overseas?

 

Many of them didn't...
Many of them committed suicide.
Others became homeless and got on drugs and alcohol.
Others moved out of the city and formed trailer parks.

Yet others got more education and lived professional lives in the suburbs.

It was a sacrifice they were willing to make and are STILL making.
Look at how many are fighting tooth and nail against Universal Healthcare, to their own detriment.

 

 

 

 

 

White men don't have to compete with Black men for jobs and opportunities. They can relocate to places where there's little or no Black people.

 

If there is any spot in the NATION with an abundance of Black men with good jobs....they are considered competition because the women (especially White women) will be tempted to move or visit there, and can do so quite easily.

If Charlotte North Carolina was popping for Black men; best believe there will be White men in Portland or San Diego mad as hell about it and writing columns about it in the paper or trying to figure out how to stamp out the progress.

This is the reason why they moved most of the good paying factory jobs out of the nation all together.

Then after de-industrializing Detroit and Chicago; they proceeded to "gay up" places like Atlanta and D.C. so that you'd have plenty of PROFESSIONAL Black men but they'd be gay as hell and wouldn't be a threat.
