I am sick of the politicization of everything and infuriated by those who continually do such, their lack of awareness when it is inconvenient "for their side" + utter hypocrisy. The latest is the vaccines-some examples of the flip-flops purely based on politics...
About half-way through, the "informing" of everyone how long other vaccines took and not to fall for it...
Those who were for it are against it, those who were against it are for it and everything is said with political motives. Just f*cking stop already. Politics isn't a religion.

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.

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.
