20/20 Gonzo 44: Freak Out And Scatter


The aftermath of the landslide will be full of shocks and fits and depressions.  Like the last landslide.  Self-righteous snickering mixed with deluded minds, shaming tactics, and disrespect.  Lots to snore about for now, but the day after election day is under 100 days away.  The rats will freak out and scatter, rodents are fairly predictable.

The intelligence of the overall American population has been insulted.  Eyes, ears, even smells, senses don't lie to people with sense.  Most see, hear, and smell bullshit when they see, hear, and smell bullshit.  The current mental note scene seems very active, people generally hate being taken for fools.  They will land, they will slide, they will vote.

Curious about economics and the reality of the big Cincinnati Tennis Tournament, weirdly scheduled to be played in a NYC 'bubble' next month, set to pay the winner $280k instead of the $1.2 million paid out last year.  Sign of things to come perhaps, professional sports is in for a reckoning.  The naming of stadiums won't command the same price, TV revenue will decline, no expensive warm beer, no parking revenues, no ticket sales, no swag dollars.  Demand will determine the supply, balance sheets will be balanced, Laissez Faire is in our collective economic genetic code.  For now, we rest up, for now we snore.
