Brief CEO versus Worker Income Comparison and Value

Mostly about CEO wages with a comparison to hourly wage labor. No doubt, hourly wage workers have not kept pace with CEO wages or inflation.

Earth crosses first climate tipping point as coral reefs die off

I do not believe this requires much of an introduction or explanation. This event has been discussed and warned about for decades. Mankind does not appear to want to pay attention to the warming of the Earth. We can stopped the severity of what we are doing and take a lesser path. Or we can […]

Why are “Mikie” Johnson and Eli Crane Robbing Arizona of Congressional Representation?

New elected Arizona Congressional Representative Adelita Grijalva is blocked from taking office due to Mike Johnson delays in swearing her in to office. Republican Eli Crane is my representative. His lack of support for Representative Adelita Grijalva is causing Arizona to lose representation in the House. At what point does the political party politics stop […]

Unstable coins

Cryptocurrencies are a manifestation of The Greater Fool Theory of investing. A justification for cryptocurrencies is that they are unmoored from any government-regulated currency. Their primary utility, it turns out, is funding criminal activities. Stablecoins are a form of cryptocurrency linked to a government currency (the dollar, the rouble, etc).

Americans remain skeptical of electing a female president

Don’t forget – No Kings Day is tomorrow

There is nothing more important that regular folks like us can do to protect our democratic institutions than to show Trump and his congressional lickspittles that we oppose what he is doing and we will not be intimidated.
