These are my Theories. They are rooted in a life well lived, at least I think so. They operate on the ROI platform and have done so for almost 50 years. Originally done for my entertainment, for my kids, and then a long line of others who gave me their theories. These are real and lived. My latest hobby, WSJ and NYT Comments … It is fun playing judge and jury.

(Such a first world way to live, embarrassing)


It is getting more ludicrous by the day.

Lets fire them, and rehire some of them. Lets put in place some tariffs, then lets not. Lets do it again, but then we can give a reprieve on the things that matter to us and our corporations. Lets fire as many probationary positions as possible. They can’t fight back. More Doge please, lets claw…


Charles Handy, early business management philosopher. 92 yrs old

Charles Handy, early business management philosopher. 92 yrs old. He was just trying to have a better life, make a buck, have a career, whatever that meant and enjoy his efforts… a kindred spirit. Handy’s 1989 book, “The Age of Unreason,” forecast faster and more unpredictable change—since then delivered by the internet, terrorism, smartphones, the…


They surround me everywhere I go.

For some reason, almost all conversations I have, whether north or south, all end in Politics. I am mostly known to these people as a Massachusetts Liberal. If I want to rile them up, I say “I actually was born in Connecticut”. The eye rolls, then the groans can be heard for miles. So they…


We have fully entered a new phase in the US.

Pardons – so very disappointing. What biden did for a son … pretty bad. What biden did for his extended family much worse. What he did for truly heinous criminals .. appalling. Preemptive Pardons seem ridiculous, but trump made threats against civil servants both in speeches and interviews. So that one is gray. What trump…


WSJ Commments Essay | What Happens When a Whole Generation Never Grows Up?

At first, I wrote a long winded bunch of words .. no need, my close ………….. too many people complain that it’s too hard or expensive, even older people my age or my youngest nephew, complain. It is true they and many other generations were “sold a bill of goods that was not quite right”….


WSJ – Comments … so much fun

My most favorite topic, demographics. I’m the last year, I was born in 64, I had mostly all older siblings and cousins, I cannot believe how easy most of the last 40 years really have been. Thanks to the monster demographic. All the stuff that had to be built created and transformed, the technology, low…

WSJ comments – When ‘Middle Age’ Arrives in Your 20s – Sorry it’s good for you.

Being straight forward, when you start having kids, middle age comes fast. No kids, middle age will come later. Moving on. Those feeling it at 37-38 -40, I would opine that, it is a little late. Your best working years, and spending years are 35-55 give or take. They are stressful. Hurry up. Marketing is…


The governmental hen house is now filled with at least 7 billionaires foxes. All who specialize in the art of pillage. The other choices are pretty on tv, and lack standard skills in the appointed positions. It might work.. but probably not.


A further update; it appears they would rather have a fox run the chicken house.

…. since most of my friends voted the way they did, I really had to get to the root of what they really were voting on. using my thesis that “you would never let your family do business with him or yourself do business with him or put yourself in a compromising position with him”,…
