Reps Barzaga and Leviste will soon sit up straight; the big ones will whip them with sticks to make them behave

It is more fun criticizing

The two very famous opposition reps may soon quiet down -  Rep Barzaga because of the P100 million cyber libel suit filed by mogul Enrique Razon and  Rep Leviste because of the P24 billion fine from DOE.

Their adversaries who are apparently hurt by their noise will use the arsenal at their disposal to make them stay quiet.    What will happen next?  Will they continue to be brave and fight on?

Why is Jakarta is sinking?

It is more fun criticizing

Could this happen to Manila?   It is not because of flooding or forest denudation but because of over use of ground water by  deep wells.   Jakarta sinks at the rate of 25 cm per year, far greater than say 5mm per year at Venice.   Indonesia tried putting up an alternative capital in Borneo.    Who knows what happpened to this?

The thing is the river passing through the city carries with it pollution and filth

Could it happen or is it happening to Manila     

California preparing for economic downturn?

It is more fun criticizing

There is a possibility of an economic downturn and critics say this is not hypothetical nor prophetic  It is happening right now.

1.  California residents are exiting the state because of high prices of homes commodities, gasoline and in general high cost of living.    They are joining their companies now exiting the state;  estimated number about 800,000.

2.   High tech companies those in Fortune 500 have exited the company.   Reason:     high cost of regulation, fines, high cost of fuel, and not so friendly  to business any more regulatory environmnet

3.  Exit, transfer of high value individuals (billionaire) due to the yearly tax on wealth (subsequently repealed.  The billionaires put up a fund to wage war vs the measure using political and legal means   The Gov eventually folded up and ordered the repeal)

4.  Regulatory over reach affecting:

      1.  Fuel supplies

              1.  Huge fines to refineries.  Two refineries accounting for 16% of CA fuel supplies closed                           down due to huge fines that were imposed;

              2.  The shortfall is being replenished by imports from Asia:   Korea, Singapare and India

                    resulting in higher prices due to freight cost, which takes a month from the port of

                    origin.

              3.  Fuel prices have skyrocketed as result surpassing the projected $8.43 per gallon.

              4.  This has affected fuel prices in Arizona and Nevada which buys fuel from California

                   refineries

Minneapolis USA mayor involved in crimes?

It is more fun criticizing

A traffic stop led to one thing after another leading to alleged involvement of local officials in many crimes:   drug, human trafficking and many more leading to arrests and investigations.    We only thought that this could happen in distant places or in 3rd world countries but not in USA.

Impeachment raps filed vs the Pres PBBM

It is more fun criticizing

An impeachment rap has been filed before Congress.  Some quarters say it lacks form and substance and can easily be dismissed  It was filed by a former lawyer of the first family.    A ploy to pre empt future filing of impeachment raps?
