Subject: Just so and retcon
TT my brother because things are going on and he seems to think they (Musk) are just trying to get the right ratio of money to people in the Gov. Sounds like a "just so" story to me, and there's a new slang word - retcon - short for retroactive continuity.
Just So Story:
: a speculative story or explanation of doubtful or unprovable validity that is put forward to account for the origin of something (such as a biological trait) when no verifiable explanation is known.
Retcon:
(in a film, television series, or other fictional work) a piece of new information that imposes a different interpretation on previously described events, typically used to facilitate a dramatic plot shift or account for an inconsistency.
So Dope is now retconning that we've been in a weak economy for some time to fit the "it's Biden's fault" plot, but I just talked to another fellow whose partly MAGA and he agreed with me the looming recession is all Trump's.
