Timing Is Just Right for US Government to Create The Ministry of Magic

The good versus evil meme plays out over control of the Ministry of Magic. That's the delightful plot and setting for the latest sequel in the "Fantastic Beasts" film series. This one has the subtitle "Secrets of Dumbledore."

The good side is represented by Albus Dumbledore and the evil one by Gellert Grindelwald. What hangs this all together is the need to protect the mystical creature Qilin which can see into souls and foresee the future. Meanwhile Grindelwald has conjured up a fraudulent version of the Qilin. 

Magic, of course, is the way problems are solved and opportunities are seized in the film. Those on the Dumbledore team use white magic. Those on Grindelwald's the toxic kind.

But, white magic wins, thanks to the ability to get the Qilin to the election to select what leader is pure of heart. Along the way the displays of fanastic whatevers, including the beasts, are amazing. And, like a Shakespearean comedy, the film ends with a wedding. All's well that ends well. 

Perhaps the US government would be able to reestablish hope if it established a Ministry of Magic. It would symbolize extreme possibility. In the 21st century we have already been through:

The Terrorist Attack of 9/11,  followed by an economic downturn

The Deep Recession of  2008 -2009

COVID

Political Polarization 

A War in Europe

Wild Inflation

An Even Wilder Stock Market

A Possible Recession

What's been called "occulture" or a belief in other dimensions of knowing and experiencing has been catching fire. Timing is almost everything. And the timing may be just right for the Biden Administration to authorize the creation of the Ministry of Magic.

Sharks in the Water, You're Not Fast Enough

 "[Janet] Yellen was also out of step with the White House when it came to deciding what kind of penalties to impose on Russia as punishment for its invasion of Ukraine in February." - Bloomberg , June 15, 2022 The Yellen Brand is badly damaged. Since she is 75 years old her legacy is likely permanently in tatters. Even the best reputation-restoration experts probably will be unable to turn that around. Actually if they try the effort could be comical. This is a media era and we all know how that public relations stuff is put together. The campaign has to be done brilliantly and even then it can become the source of jokes. Look at Bill Gates all over the place in the news. There he is on pandemics. There he is on the economy. There he is on crypto. Smirk. We have already seen that Yellen's mea culpa about reading inflation wrong didn't move the dial. And now Bloomberg has provided a detailed inventory of her missteps. Other media outlets will run with that. Remembe

Elon Musk - Don't Underestimate His Business Side

 Among many other attributes, Elon Musk is complex. VISIONARY Obviously, the Tesla owner and soon-to-be owner of Twitter Musk is an idea guy. He thinks not only big but visionary. In purchasing the social network he wants to be a game-changer in the concept of free speech. That, he plans to make happen through disrupting the traditional ways content to monitored. USUAL PRIVATE EQUITY PLAYER But that's not mutually exclusive with his focus on financials. Bloomberg reports that sources indicate Musk has discussed cutting costs. That initiative will include jobs at Twitter. It could turn out that this visionary also develops the same kind of reputation many in private equity have. That is, for ruthlessly making lackluster financial performers extreme profit-generators. Those employees who could be put on the street could number not only the rank and file but also the leadership. Musk has been putting the knock on the latter. LEGACY OF TWITTER In the history of business Twitte

So, What Rights Are Next on SCOTUS Chopping Block?

 "A deeply divided Supreme Court eliminated the constitutional right to an abortion , overruling the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision and leaving the question of abortion’s legality to the states." - T he Wall Street Journal, June 24, 2022. The case was "Dobbs v Jackson Women's Health Organization." Essentially, 6 to 3, SCOTUS decided to uphold the Mississipppi law forbidding abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy. That's two months earlier than what had been specified in "Roe v Wade."  The decisions on abortion now are primarily in the hands of the states.  The anxiety among progressives is that this is the beginning of rescinding other kinds of rights. At the top of the list are same-sex marriages.  Progressive law firms have been aggressive in pushing against this extreme conservatism in the overlay of law in America. But they will probably have to create new strategies in order to move the dial. So far they are losing their influence. Meanwhile, t
