today Larry Ellison (oracle) had his net worth increase by 100 billion dollars. There are less then 20 people on earth even worth 100 billion dollars… I’ve never heard (or seeked out) anything bad about him, his company appears to make money by offering valuable services and products unlike social media or other tech companies…
Truths
Laboring Day not Laborers Day
It occurred to me this year that workers have to show up on labor day but management got to take a day off. Not strictly of course but way too much. How the hell have we gotten to this point? If we had any guts next year every worker, laborer, and abused employee would refuse…
Burn it all down?
At what point does a society get so bad for the majority that destroying the system becomes preferable even at the cost of what little you have left? It’s happened time and time again in history so it’s not just some impossible event. At some tipping point the majority realizes that things will only get…
Progressives and Antifa
those are dirty words to roughly 50% of the country but why? All of human history has been a march of progress. And being anti fascist is about as American as it gets. So where do we get the constant drum beat that these things are terrible or even liberal leftist insanity? What (or more…
Thank God the rich got more tax cuts

WHOA thats too…

You might think I hate all rich people or want them all to die but its not true and statistically I love more rich people than I hate by far. So what’s a “good rich person”? The person who builds a business that makes things or performs a service where honest work and care for…
Private equity
On paper it makes perfect sense. People with money to invest pool their funds and use it to make larger purchases than they could individually. With savvy selection profits can be made for business revenue or increasing a company’s performance to illicit a higher seller price. I love everything about it. But of course thats…
Why all the bunkers?
If tech billionaires are so adamant that their platforms and products are making the world a better place and are building a brighter future why are they all building doomsday bunkers? its because they know they are contributing to the degradation of society and they have the (false) believe they can buy a comfortable path…
Perfect, the enemy of Good
Polarizing is a word we hear often and for a good reason. Purity tests, black and white positions, extremism is not just a random issue out of nowhere. We are pushed to these positions and opinions, by who? It’s as easy to figure out as stopping to think of who benefits from it? The status…
