I’ve written in detail about the biggest, most ignored story-govt enabling the hugest wealth transfer in history from Main Street to Wall Street, enabled by govt deciding who would thrive and who would fight to survive, aided by the Fed, and corporate media won't cover it
For my book, as of today, I am scheduled for exactly zero morning TV programs + zero prime time shows on network or cable. None of the major newspaper outlets are reviewing or excerpting the book. We had one agree...
..., where the writer loved the book and thought it was “fascinating” and informed my publisher’s PR end of day yesterday that the editors pulled it. Not to mention the corporate gig getting canceled as well.
Just like the thesis in my book, this war against the little guy (small business, non-connected individuals) has been going on for a long time. When I wrote about the #APEARMY, #AMC, #GME and the retail revolution, Fox gave it a home, but I offered other major outlets who said no
It is prescient how I unintentionally proved my thesis- nobody in power cares about the little guy. And, I am doing exactly what the book says will fight back-going decentralized.
I appreciate all of the creators and others who are supporting this book & messaging; it is not for me, it is to show that the little guy is the majority of Americans and their economic freedom & opportunities are as important and vital as those in power.
If you support the book, you support getting this messaging spread and you tell those in power this is a movement and we will not back down or be pushed around.
The small biz owners and gig workers, crypto backers, creators and decentralized media, etc- we are all fighting for decentralization against central planning and power and we all need to stand together.
Thank you so much to all who have supported via their media platforms, spreading the word, purchasing the book and to those who have not yet but will support. This is a War on Small Business and on the non-connected individual and if we come together we will win.
More info on the book is here with a list of some retail choices; Bookshop.org gets money to the small biz and as @Timcast said when he hosted me the other night, bigger retailers help the rankings for others to see the book: bit.ly/TheWarOnSmallB…

When you stop to get a shoe shine, do you ask the person how many customers they have had that day and how much they need to live on, or do you ask for the price?
When you buy a loaf of bread from a vendor at a fair, do you ask the person how many customers they have had that day? Do you not care that they may not make a “living wage” that day? Are you not personally obligated by taking their output to ensure they can live? Of course not.
When you trade your money for others’ time or skills, that is based on the value you place on the skills, supply, demand, not an evaluation of their personal needs. This is no different than when someone applies for a job in low-skilled arenas.
First, is board diversity an issue. Yes. Boards in general are packed with cronies and people not willing to "go against the crowd".
Diversity is a good and important factor for corporate governance and otherwise, but quotas make me uncomfortable...
Diversity is valuable because it ensures a variety of perspectives, experiences, networks & thought processes are included in the company’s management or governance. This gives companies a richer pool of information to draw from and more thoughtful customer & stakeholder outcomes
Hey, @BridgetPhetasy, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but...
By the way, in Tom Arnold’s fantasy civil war, which side do you think has the advantage? The guy who is going to “borrow his dad’s hunting rifle” or the ones who have a bunch and know how to use them? Dude, seriously.
Let me run through this shoddy “CARES Act” math & strategy again (which should be called Congress really doesn't care about small biz)...
Small biz is HALF the economy- half the revenues, half the employees- in more than 30 million entities...
Despite being forced to shut down in many cases, they received less than 20% of the “CARES” stimulus, which required a free-for-all at banks (which, not surprisingly, seem to have prioritized larger small biz customers w existing relationships)...
...leaving most small biz, particularly the smaller & more vulnerable, out in the cold, all while universities, including those w big endowments, got billions & govt cronies like the Kennedy Center millions without having to do squat.
It is not immoral for anyone to have a lot of wealth that was created legally.
It is highly immoral for any individual or govt to decide they should confiscate that wealth to use it to fund their own preferred projects, items, desires...
Wealthy people don't swim in a big coin room like Scrooge McDuck.
That money is used to buy things which supports jobs/economy, to invest, which supports jobs/economy & for charity.
As the pie is not fixed in the US, the wealth was created & is not at someone else's expense.
The govt takes in more than $3 trillion at the federal level- that's more than enough $. Spending is the problem.
And if you didn't have people creating wealth and expanding the pie, there wouldn't be the ability to even spend at that level w/o more debt.
