Most unfortunately, governments at every level – federal, state and local – have grown to exceedingly obese size and status. Making them corpulent targets for bribes from monster companies – to ladle government gravy atop the monster companies’ biscuits. Governments are monstrously outsized. So too, of course, is the cronyism monster companies seek and are…
Big Tech companies – are monsters. Microsoft: Market Cap: $958 billion. Amazon: Market Cap: $853 billion. Apple: Market Cap: $840 billion. Google: Market Cap: $727 billion. The entire United States economy – currently is $19.4 trillion. Those four companies – currently represent $3.4 trillion of value. Or 17.5% of our entire national worth. Yikes. But…
Contrary to some seriously misguided dismissiveness by a great many allegedly informed people – there is such a thing as a Deep State. Made up of millions of unelected bureaucratic ticks – bleeding the life out of our nation. Each tick – wants to keep the blood flowing to them. And when any tick’s coziness…
I loathe the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). It is an affront to the Constitution – and anyone with an IQ above nine on a warm day. We have in the Constitution a little thing called the Fourth Amendment: “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable…
One would have to be deaf, blind…and living in a cave in a cliff on a remote Pacific atoll – to miss the obnoxious amounts of incestuous cronyism that exists between monstrously huge tech company Amazon and the Department of Defense (DoD). Amazon Web Services (AWS) is looking to crony its way into a $10…
God bless the military and all who honorably serve her. We the People are incredibly fortunate to have a million or so men and women willing to volunteer to defend our nation. It is an incredible sacrifice on their part – for which we should be exceedingly grateful. As mind-bogglingly wasteful with our money as…
I am beginning to wonder if Amazon has ever done anything straight-shooting and/or above board – to acquire its massive market dominance and cash cap ($744 billion). Amazon Retail for nearly two decades has submarined and strip mined brick-and-mortar competitors by selling nigh everything during the retail-make-or-break Christmas season – at a loss. Amazon: Nearly…
We have oft documented the decades’ worth of really awful trade deals in which the United States has participated. Chief country amongst the many with whom we’ve cut really awful deals – is, of course, Communist China. Our very stupid trade deals have bled millions of jobs from US to China. China in some instances…
God bless President Donald Trump and his Administration for all they are doing to protect Intellectual Property (IP) from the world’s wolves. Of course the largest of all the wolves – is China. Trump To Toughen-Up On China’s Intellectual Property Theft Trump Administration Goes after China over Intellectual Property Trump’s Actions Send a Clear Message:…
Like most people, the mysterious world of digital currencies remains for the most part…well, a bit of a mystery. I’ve occasionally dived into some readings on cryptocurrencies – and found the water to be a little chilly. I do get the basic gist. And I certainly understand the desire to end run governments – with…
