2+ y ago11:42

11:42

I just got an invitation to connect on LinkedIn from a guy whose profile headline is, “A preeminent expert in leadership development through inclusion.” Not just any expert, a preeminent expert! Are you as impressed by that as me?

American Politics - Division By Design 19:11

4+ y ago19:11

19:11

Trump’s ability to be an effective President of the United States of America and Commander-In-Chief is incidental to the primary goal of the Dems & Republicans, which is to ensure the ongoing growth and financial health of the Political Industry.

Quick Thought 62 - Sunset the CARES Act 3:31

4+ y ago3:31

3:31

All of it! It all needs to become null and void. The CARES Act got passed in a gigantic hurry. I’m OK with that. BUT... When the crisis is over, the CARES Act needs to end with it. If parts of it make sense, Congress can enact new legislation to reinstate those and only those parts.

Seems like I touched a few nerves with my “Whither the Post Office” episode a couple of weeks ago. Enough so that I feel compelled to respond to a few things that emerged as objections to my perspective.

What’s a libertarian to do? What’s an AMERICAN to do? 13:20

4+ y ago13:20

13:20

With politicians and bureaucrats using crises to suck up more power for themselves, we Americans must insist upon and/or take it upon ourselves to accomplish 3 things: ALL “corona-legislation,” that is, bills passed to address this black-swan COVID-19 event, must have a 12 month sunset provision. Relax regulatory restrictions - temporarily - to fac…

It was obsolete and dopey. And I never did wear it. But I still knew where it was after the 4+ decades and 11 homes I’ve had since my collegiate days.

I'm appalled that we allow our federal government to employ more than 600,000 people to expend 95% of their work effort to deliver trash to our homes; while annually burning 146 Million gallons of gas and cutting down 100 Million trees.

Pampered, self-absorbed, lazy, narcissistic, entitled, reality-TV-watching, participation trophy bearing, smartphone addicted, self-esteem obsessed ne'er do wells, still living in their parent’s basement and craving ever more respect from others that they never even came close to earning? Or those running the show?…

Not to sound too harsh, but... a good 80-90% of those wallowing in unpayable student debt are suffering due self-inflicted wounds. For sure, there is no need for one more individual to get self-saddled with student debt. Alternatives abound.
