Contracts

Posted on December 17, 2025 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, our present paradigm, where you and I are held to every nuance of a contract but those we sign them with are not, and in fact have the ability to change them as they … Continue reading →

Merit vs. Favor: The Hidden Cost of Corporate Politics

Posted on January 19, 2025 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, every human interaction has an element of politics, and as such, political favor as well. Which goes a long way to explaining the Pareto distribution. Where upwards of 80% of managers provide negative equity … Continue reading →

Regulating Prosperity Away

Posted on June 14, 2024 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, almost everyone undervalues the destruction that regulation causes to the economy. Think of an economy like an onion. Each layer representing an industry. The most profitable ones at the core and the least profitable … Continue reading →

Solving Societal Problems

Posted on May 29, 2024 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, if it’s true that, “You can’t solve a problem with the same mindset that created the problem…” as Einstein said. Then all the problems we have, that were created by government, cannot be solved … Continue reading →

Facilitating Regulations

Posted on May 8, 2024 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, most people misunderstand the fundamental role of laws and regulations… they are supposed to facilitate, not hinder. That they hinder and don’t facilitate is because it’s much easier to make rules that hinder than … Continue reading →

Attitude Leads Outcome

Posted on April 21, 2024 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, attitude leads outcome, most think it’s the other way around, but they’re wrong. Good attitudes lead to success and poor attitudes lead to failure. Oh, there are examples of those who’ve got ahead with … Continue reading →

Who Supports Who?

Posted on March 17, 2023 by john

Dear Friends, It seems absurd to me… when someone says the government supports the economy. It’s like saying the roof of a house supports the foundation. It’s confusing the role of government with the role of businesses. Everything has a … Continue reading →

Labor Unions

Posted on March 17, 2022 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, the basic idea of unions is good, the problem is in the implementation… because of the pernicious incentives created by political favor. I would never argue that a higher standard of living for the … Continue reading →
