Fix For The Semi Recent Trump VS Acosta Drama

Fix For The Semi Recent Trump VS Acosta Drama

I was immediately struck by their sound system.

Technical fix:

Multiple wireless mics. (Say 3 or 4)
Each on a different channel on a mixer.
When your time is up, your channel is brought down.
Next person calls on gets a different mic and that channel is brought up.
If you know the order people will be called on, you can hand out the mics ahead of time and run things a bit smoother.

So, not need for a confrontation with someone who does not promptly give up the mic.

Now, it is a whole different matter as to whether such a fix would be in the best interests of the country or not.

Crazy Political Ideas

Bipartisan Influenced Term Limits

This idea came to me as a way to encourage bipartisan legislation. Basically, we set very short term limits for parliament/congress/the house/the senate. Then, we allow the term to be extended based on some ratio of bipartisan legislation passed and how *strong* a bipartisan effort it was.

New Lonely People

New Lonely People

Never before in the existence of the universe has a
Lonely heart found itself in such a state, seeking another
Person to touch, to connect, to sync with.
Breathe, breathe, breathe.
Sync, sync, sync.
Breathe.

Sports And Music In The Bahamas

Sports And Music In The Bahamas

Let's take sports and music as they exist in the Bahamas post high school. (This is from occasional personal observation and not from any systematic study.)

We have musicians who play in front of the public, or who would like to, complaining on a fairly regular basis that the financial rewards are too small and that they are not respected enough and etc. (I am not in any way saying that these points are completely invalid.)

We have athletes who also play in front of the public. Basketball, baseball, soccer, American football, cricket, and possibly others. As far as I know, none of these local athletes gets paid.

(We do have local athletes who go abroad and play professional sports to be sure.)

My guess is that local musicians earn more on average by "making" music than local athletes doing their thing. I don't recall local athletes complaining in the same way the musicians do. They seem to be playing for the love of the sport. I am sure some local musicians also play for the love of the music.

What is your take on this "situation" in your country?

Can you make the case for charity?
