Why Isn’t This Income Inequity An Issue?
A baseball player…let me repeat that…a baseball player…and I love baseball…is going to be paid $300 million over 10 years:
On Tuesday, we found out: a 10-year, $300 million contract for Manny Machado to play for the San Diego Padres, a small-market, low-spending team that lost 96 games last season and […]
What IS Your Privacy Worth? And Who Is Big Brother?
When I was a child…or should I say…back in the day (or is that totally passe’ now the boomers use it too?)…Big Brother was a gray cloud on the horizon and understood to be a warning about future government intrusion.
But that day is here NOW and boy were we naive. Big Brother is Amazon […]
Yes Donald, There Is A Difference Between News Coverage and a Comedy Show!
Every fifth grader knows that!
I acquired this screen capture from a third party. I couldn’t find an active version on President Trump’s Twitter account. This would be sad if it weren’t quite so scary. But confirmation of the Tweet is included in the link above.
Economic and Income Inequity rears its ugly head in Wisconsin!
I am sorry Green Bay Packer fans…but there is no one…not one man, woman, or child who is worth $33 million a year for doing a job…any job…unless every man, woman and child is worth that. This is the epitome of income inequity.

Oh Cripes: Twitter Diplomacy!
And no, this time I am not talking about President-elect Donald Trump. It’s the Russian Embassy!
President Obama expels 35 diplomats in Cold War deja vu. As everybody, incl people, will be glad to see the last of this hapless Adm.
