The status of the pandemic is key, Citi explained, because the pandemic demolished the idea that global supply chains were fully optimized. “Until the pandemic, the broad consensus was that supply chains were ‘optimized’ and functioning smoothly,” the strategists wrote. “Firms were thought to have broadly solved the riddle of […]
The Gas is too Damn High
Interesting Factoids We’ve all seen the prices at the pump? I think a lot of people have asked “WHY?” and besides things like “Biden”, “Ukraine”, “Whatever”, you don’t actually see the real reason. This report is interesting in that it whispers it, but it tries to hide it as best […]
Whoa…
No sooner than I wrote that last post did the info leak about the repeal of Roe vs Wade. The interesting thing about that is that within that is the diatribe of the workers rights, contracts, and the 14th amendment concept of the “right to privacy”. Which also conveniently details […]
History Repeating
You’ve probably heard of the “Gilded Age” and it’s notorious robber barons or probably remarketed today as “captains of industry”. One of the intriguing things that is occurring today is the similar rise of the “tech titans” that seemingly control vast amounts of wealth in the same respects as it […]
Who Was here First?
One of the interesting things I see, as a card carrying Native American, is typically a post or an interesting article about land being given or taken away from Natives. While a lot of people have misplaced guilt and possible repentive feelings towards the issue, there’s another vocal minority that […]
A poem on a beautiful day
Somewhere in a sea town, There’s a shanty by the beach Where seagulls call out loud, And you can taste salty air. The Main Street is old and worn, But comforting just the same, Remnants of yesteryear with brick and stone, Shops of coffee and sandwiches, Fish and chips like […]
You can count on NYS!
I’m obviously biased here, but the recent dealings with NYS and the SNI casino issue are interesting to say the least. It’s a good study in negative PR from just about everyone’s perspective. Firstly, the SNI apparently failed to secure a solid account or protective way to prevent NYS from […]
Wheat and Commodities
I saw a few interest articles out there, and the most interesting thing about them is what ties them together. The Russian-Ukraine war sucks. Besides unnecessary death and destruction, and the underlying need for greed and something else, there’s some new details emerging. Since this war is prolonging by the […]
Beach Day
I wrote this poem on the way to the beach, so naturally I had to film something for it. It’s improptu, but I’m definitely writing a children’s book now….
The Ultimate Call Back
So I’m working on some limericks, and the pentameter always reminds me of Looney Tunes. I’m unsure why that is, most likely the way the pentameter falls into place, and I’m sure it’s not wholly original. In any case, the song that I hear is from the 1946 cartoon, “Daffy […]
