Idle minds produce useless squabbles

One of the by products of the lockdown or shutdown and plunging of millions of Americans into unemployment or reduced hours and wages is lots of idle time. This explains some of the stupid and inane arguments we have in this country and city over monuments, murals, rallies etc. Busy people who are productive and happy (generally speaking) don’t engage in this sort of chatter and nonsense or Bubbea Meises. In Ladino (Judeo-Spanish) which is the language of my mothers parents it’s Bava Jathas.. there’s a stronger term for it but I want to share this post with a wide variety of people.
