   Perhaps you shoud read about the Enron scandal. When asked what happened to all the money after Lay was arrested and charged with fraud, his wife said “It’s gone, Alll gone.”

   Lay and his wife were worth around $400 million. Lay earned over $220 million in cash and stock from Enron between 1998 and 2001. He wss found guilty, but the judgment was vacated when he died of a heart attack before sentencing.

   Really dangerous! I mean, under Harris/BIden we have the largest and strongest economy in the world! Fastest growing GDP of the G7. Among the lowesyt inflation rates in the world – the lowest rates are running just below 3%, and we are right there at 2.5%. The largest producer of both oil and gas in the world. For at least the last year, wages have grown faster than inflation, and household income is up 7%. Unemployment hit a new low in 2023, and has stabilized at about that level. I mean, DANGEROUS! Who in their right mind would want four more years of that!!!! Especially when we coduld have a lying, cheating, racist misogynest who tried to overthrow the government instead!

   Oh, and for those who think Harris is a communist or a socialist – get a Dictionary, becaues those big words don’t mean what you think they mean. And while youre at it, try reading Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith, the Father of Caplitalism, and see what he thought of monopoly and oligopoly and how those entities should be regulated.

   I saw a comment from him a while back that he was retiring in something like 2 years. It’s been about that. I’ve been reading the strip for over 40 years, so it the day is coming. I figure Arlo and Janis moving is the end of the story line and the beginning of retirement…

   Malls are going out of style because they kicked kids out – they had mall security tell them to “move on and stop loitering” and kids had purchasing power – they let their food courts deteriorate, their rest rooms were dirty, and their rents were high so prices were high. Meanwhile, the anchor stores cut customer service, rolled back departments as places like IKEA, the Apple Store, and specialty shops offered better selection. Even Whole Foods took away their specialty food shops. Changing tastes closed their gift and china departments, They failed to keep up with changes in consumer tastes. Shootings at malls are rarer than shootings at schools…

   I saw a post he made a while ago about his planned retirement. At that point, it was still like 18 months off – and that was a while ago. I always thought that they would eventually move, be starting a different life, and that would be the end of the strip. So yes, I think that is coming. Lots of uncertainty leading up to it – the boat, the condo, the guests house – where they would live – cleaning out the family home, and the challenges – and this is still a “trying it out” because they won’t leave Ludwig behind But these are exactly the things you work through as you think about retirement…and yes, that day is coming.

    I know! Inflation under 3%, consistent new jobs growth, increased manufacturing capacity, increase in small business start ups, historically low unemployment, real wages are finally growing, and stock market hits new highs! Absolutely wrecking the country, lol. Not.
