Thoughts from this past week

Just a few random thoughts that I wanted to document for future reference.

• I am sickened by the attack at the Chabad in San Diego and the NY Times' anti-Semitic cartoon.
  
• The size and scope of legal and illegal immigration to the US is an even bigger challenge than most people realize and there's no solution in sight.
  
• Many men were trained by society to not show fear and that repression manifests itself in other negative ways.
  
• Meditation is really great.
  
• In 100 years', Brexit will be viewed as one of the most important events in the history of the 21st century.
  
• Tesla may be undervalued.
  
• Amazon may go into the travel business. Order your tickets from Alexa.
  
• I would not be surprised if California seceded from the US.
  
• I have no idea how the proposals advocated by most Democrats such as Medicare for all, free college, and debt forgiveness could ever realistically be funded.
