Everyone wants to see the quarterback throw the long pass, to see the running back dodge into the melee and pop out the other side for an eight second run. Or if your team’s on defense you want to see anyone with the ball dropped behind the scrimmage line. Did you see how that happened?… Continue reading Key Point: Ms. McDaniels, Have you started?

Inflation is easing. What Does That Mean for Your Grocery Bill
Key Point. Stop making these silly comparisons about lower inflation to a car slowing down or a car going the wrong way slowing down. So, if you were planning on spending, say $75,000 a year in retirement, on average you’ll be spending $93,750 to have the same quality of life. Call it like it is… Continue reading Inflation is easing. What Does That Mean for Your Grocery Bill
Succession
Summary. To preannounce, this is an essay with two bottom lines. What should one expect when dealing with electing governance, one cannot focus on a single cause. Beyond that, anchor to your core values.

Job One
Summary. The integrity of a country begins outside that country. The standing and quality of life of its citizens depend on the vision that the world has for that country’s values. Congress in 2024 needs to, desperately needs to, address US ability to protect its interests worldwide. Play to your strengths; start with the Military.… Continue reading Job One
Hold the Fone, Fani
Key Point. Once you establish a credibility issue, it’s hard to believe anything afterwards. Well, here’s another court case that has captured US interest; it’s sensational and there’s intrigue.

Getting IT DONE
Key.

Those Who Do Not Learn from History
We do not have to look far back in history to see that peace through strength is much more than a slogan. On the front page every day is the utter devastation and carnage of a developed nation not that different from ours where an aggressive country is decimating a neighbor – as Russia is… Continue reading Those Who Do Not Learn from History
Fake Housing Crisis
In California, there is not a “housing crisis” despite politicians’ statements indicating more housing is drastically needed. The programs set in place, and future programs to deal with this situation are unnecessary and an unneeded epense and regulatory burden on local housing authorities. Surprisingly, state politicians are ignoring significant factors such as drastic water shortages… Continue reading Fake Housing Crisis

When the pandemic hit US and we shut down the economy, around 20 million people became unemployed almost immediately and stayed that way for a couple months, and slowly crept back up. This included non-essential workers like middle managers and… Continue reading Is the Unemployment Rate Low or Is the Employment Rate Low?
