What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 230 & BENKYO RADIO 230.

It’s Christmas month! Time to enjoy some good time among family. Due to COVID-19, it’s important to seclude yourselves, because this holiday might be worst than Thanksgiving. The good news is that, the vaccine is coming, and the WHO will make sure that it gets distributed equally to everybody. Only 44 days until the Biden/Harris administration takes office. There were so many people working hard to keep “running the ship.” All while Trump was busy watching Newsmax, and golfing. People who worked while you sleep. These people are tired. They want relief. They want a stimulus check. They are tired of Income Inequality. They want jobs that pay a decent wage. If we are “the greatest country on Earth,” why do so many of us need two or three jobs to pay the bills? This must change. This is ridiculous. Bernie Sanders already mentioned that most other western countries have offered assistance to its people. Did you know that Germany is offering aid to small employers and to freelancers — and freelancers in Berlin can get over $5,000 in assistance? This should be embarrassing to Trump’s Administration.

Everybody wants to have fun again, and in a little over 40 days, we finally will have a real President. Someone that reads his daily briefings. I’m so excited! You should be too, because that means we can focus on other things. Keep working on that education or sport or music or etc. Focus on your family and stay out of trouble (remember JR/BR 183 blogpost). Don’t let yourself feel down. You will face hardships, but remember, you will get over it. As someone who has experienced trauma a few times in his life, things get better in due time. If there was someone who didn’t take you seriously a few years ago, now they will, and all you can do is wait for their apology letter. Remember, if someone calls you a f*g, you tell them, f*g backwards is gaf, or General at the Air Force. Can’t wait to play NBA 2K21 on PS4 for Christmas!

Until next time!
