Over at the Atlantic Magazine, they published a great article detailing the latest bit of economic larceny that is being inflicted on the average consumer and stockholder. Written by a guy named Jerry Useem it chronicles the ways that companies used their windfall from the 2017 tax cut bill to let CEO’s line their own… Continue reading Economic lies and the liars who tell them.

Fun facts
I subscribe to several daily business newsletters via e-mail. One is called Morning Brew. It is a trendy and very visually exciting newsletter that is focused on millennials but is also kind enough to let older gentlemen such as myself subscribe and read its content. In their June 11th edition I stumbled onto this, not… Continue reading Fun facts
Throwback Thursday Slogans and Cliches
My apologies for the site being down for a bit. We were doing a server upgrade and also doing some “under the hood” tinkering. But it is back up now. There is a lot to write about this week – and very little of the news is good. So I thought for this TBT, I… Continue reading Throwback Thursday Slogans and Cliches
This is as close to a mission statement that I can find.
I apologize for the lack of posts. I have been living out of a suitcase for the last 6 days and had to take delivery of a new CPAP machine before that. Starting this week I intend to resume my series on America’s descent into darkness. But for tonight I wanted to post this set… Continue reading This is as close to a mission statement that I can find.
Just in under the wire
It is the end of March. The end of that oh so wonderful time of the year known as women’s history month. Long time readers know that I don’t like Women’s History month although I do like women a lot. There are a lot of past posts that you can read here. I like them-some other… Continue reading Just in under the wire
200 Dollars well spent
If there are only two news outlets you can subscribe to, I recommend the following: The Economist ($139.00/yr) and the products of STRATFOR ($99.00/yr). It is money well spent and when you think about it is just a years worth of Netflix and Hulu. STRATFOR recently published its 10 year forecast for the decade through… Continue reading 200 Dollars well spent
Stateside Things.
Well, its day two on the other side of the Atlantic. Waking up in an upper hotel floor and having to make myself ready to go work and not having the usual things around. In an acknowledgment to advancing years, I went to bed last night at 10:40 pm. My younger self would have me… Continue reading Stateside Things.
Coming full circle
Back in 2008, I wrote two posts about the subject of gay marriage, coming down rather firmly against the idea. The recent events in Indiana, coupled with the somewhat disturbing efforts of people like David Green to enforce their screwed up views of right and wrong have now convinced me that I was wrong and… Continue reading Coming full circle
The madness is spreading…….
I was a Republican for a very long time. Over 26 years to be exact. But the party I supported was the party that tried actually to improve the lot of average Americans in many ways. The Republican Party used to be a center-right party, conservative but mainstream. Now it’s the home of extreme views. The… Continue reading The madness is spreading…….
An open letter to Mr. David Green.
For those who don’t know, Mr. David Green, he is the worthless, religious zealot who runs Hobby Lobby. Today, in a decision that highlights just how political and out of touch with the law the Supreme Court has become-and how dysfunctional the American government has become-he was given a free hand to fuck over his employees.… Continue reading An open letter to Mr. David Green.
