The machinery has been put in place and hardened over the last 100 yrs. The institutionalized corruption is nearly complete with both branches of government (legislative & judicial) both completely compromised and complicit. The only thing left is the Executive Branch and that will fall in the next election. The…

Arm Yourselves

Just read another false analysis designed to move us away from the gun discussion and focus on the problems facing young people in our society. Oh please! It’s not about juveniles and mental illness.

okay, so let's play this out. Assuming that Putin is trying to justify his decision and actions. This is not too dissimilar to the same playbook that the US used to support the decision to invade IRAQ. China used the same approach to taking over Hong Kong and now Taiwan…

The issue is with the concept of management not work.

The issue is with the concept of management not work. Every company defines work activities along similar lines focusing on productivity and in rare cases innovation and value delivery. Most managers are still trained to manage people not proceses, so they have to have the people in the office so…

Should we Unionize Tech Labor?

It’s about Women and it’s about Time

I recently came across a post on LinkedIn that raised concerns about the dramatic loss of women in the workplace due to COVID. It strikes me that there is a much larger issue about women, mothers, family, and the future of our society. We keep putting the issues of equality…
