Taking Care

I’m not a fan of unions. But companies must remember that you pay a reasonable and modest ROI to your banker, take care of your people, and ONLY THEN decide how to split what is left between yourself and re-investment.

That’s how my dad did it. That’s how I do it. And that’s how America did it until we decided that the assholes between the Battery and Central Park were more important than our own neighbors.

That’s what happens when you have the collusion between big business and big government. Maybe it is time for a big shake up!

Alt-Right & Antifa - A Plague on Both Their Houses August 18, 2017
Alt-Right & Antifa – A Plague on Both Their Houses Fighting Nazis is a good thing, but fighting Nazis doesn’t necessarily make you or your cause good. By my lights this is simply an obvious fact. Source: Alt-Right & Antifa — Both Bad Groups & Ideology | National Review View On WordPress

Right vs. Left in Charlottesville Let’s get something out of the way: Charlottesville is not about Confederate statues or Robert E. Lee or the Civil War or American history.
Silicon Valley's Political Culture of Fear August 16, 2017
Silicon Valley’s Political Culture of Fear Blind, an anonymous chat app, surveyed over 4,000 employees of Silicon Valley companies in the wake of Damore’s firing to see where they stood on it. Fifty-six percent of the Google employees who participated in the survey oppose Damore’s firing. True, this survey was voluntary, and is therefore scientifically meani […]
Airbnb's Pandora's Box August 15, 2017
Airbnb’s Pandora’s BoxFor the record, I believe Airbnb has the right to decide who gets to use their service. I would never open my home or property as an Airbnb place precisely because there are all kinds of people I would not want staying in my home (like, for example, neo-Nazis, but also no doubt some people who would pass muster with Airbnb corporate). T […]
The Upside to the Chaos at 1600 July 31, 2017
The Upside to the Chaos at 1600 An unnoticed reason for cheerfulness is that in one, if only one, particular, Trump is something the nation did not know it needed — a feeble president whose manner can cure the nation’s excessive fixation with the presidency.

What is the West? Broadly speaking, what we call the West are the countries and peoples formed by the meeting of Greek philosophy, Roman law, and Hebrew religion.

The president was boasting of the “great intel” he receives when he discussed intelligence provided by a U.S. partner. Source: Trump revealed highly classified information to Russian foreign minister and ambassador – The Washington Post I cannot help but think about the Gipper at moments like this. Ronald Reagan is spinning in his grave with such speed that […]
Salon and the Political Ad Hominem May 23, 2017
Salon and the Political Ad Hominem Sure, Mike Rogers and Trey Gowdy are low-grade partisan hacks. But John Cornyn stands out for sheer shamelessness Source: Who will be the next FBI director? Trump has many bad choices, but Sen. John Cornyn stands out as the worst – Salon.com I’m (almost) nobody’s idea of a liberal,* but I recognize that no political ethos h […]
This is No Longer about Trump, or Congress May 22, 2017
This is No Longer about Trump, or Congress I believe that many of them are deeply conflicted. That in the leather chairs of Capitol Hill at the end of each of these long Spring days, there is no shortage of Republican legislators sitting alone in their offices or committee rooms, drinking scotch, and cogitating on their futures. I suspect that there may be a […]
The (Bad) Liar in the White House May 15, 2017
The (Bad) Liar in the White HouseMaybe the White House is telling the truth here, but I don’t believe it. How can anybody believe it?The thing to keep in mind is that this Dumpster fire is entirely of Trump’s own making. Maybe Comey deserved to be fired. If so, you don’t fire him in the middle of this Russia investigation, you don’t fire him in a dirty way g […]
