There's an old expression about how you really can't understand someone, unless you walk a mile in their shoes. That comes to mind, as every once in a while we become aware of something that we didn't really know. Like the food in prison is bad. Most of us have never been in prison, so how would we know? But now, thanks to Mark Agnifilo, P. Diddy's lawyer, we know. It's P. Diddy's major lament. The food is bad. We'll bet you thought his major problem was no "freak offs", no drugs and no baby oil. Anyone want to grab a sign and protest? We didn't think so.
And the Polls, the political Polls are close. But you already knew that. But then they are always close. Doesn't matter which election or what candidates or what office. The Polls, are always close, at least in this century. Bet you didn't know that? You could look it up. The only exception in this century, was Hillary Clinton. She was always leading in the Polls, especially the Presidential Polls. Even when she wasn't running.
And here comes the Robotaxi and the Robovan or so says Elon. Do we really need to use his last name anymore? Elon says they'll be operational by 2026. It will only cost 20 cents a mile for you and only 5 cents a mile to operate. And you won't have to worry if your driver is a serial killer or some other kind of miscreant, as there won't be a driver. These cars will be completely autonomous. Of course, they'll be all electric. This is Elon. This is Tesla. And BTW, they will be recharged by induction, whatever that is. But no one will have to plug anything in. Of course Elon had said he'd have robocars out and running around by 2020 and they're not here as yet... But we'll bet you didn't know about any of this. Maybe you did but we didn't.
Oh that's Jimmy Cagney at the top of the column. He's playing Cody Jarrett in the classic film 'White Heat'. Cody is in prison here and he's eating dinner. As you can see, he doesn't like the food either.
