BALANCED SOLUTIONS

The best solutions can be created by taking the best ideas regardless of the stereotype surrounding an ideological group. For important issues like how we fund our government, protect our communities, defend our borders, and more can have balanced solutions. Please experience the episode above to see how.

WHAT IS NORMAL?

A great deal of effort is done with the intent of influence what Americans view as normal, which can be subjective to each individual experience. I hesitate to ever view something as weird without trying to see the actual impact and the idea behind something. In the above featured piece, I discuss normalcy in society as the main topic.

THE PROHIBITIVE COST OF EDUCATION

The debate over higher education is a broad and complex one. Should certain fields really require college degrees? How should access be fairly allocated? The one thing we cannot deny is the importance skills have in our economy. Attaining the set of marketable skills changes over time. Personally, I support the college experience, but also believe alternative paths are more than suitable ways to pursue a viable career. In the above, I offer ideas to try to lower the cost of college attendance beyond redistribution so a person can make a real choice.

SMALL BUSINESS MATTERS

Our economy has the room for and needs businesses of all sizes, small, medium, large, and global organizations domiciled in our borders. There are advantages of all, but challenges when public policy unintentionally gives one type an unfair advantage over other forms. In the above, I discuss reasonable ideas to protect small businesses.

ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY

The ability to plot your own economic path, determine how to live your life, and retain the rewards of your hard work and skill is important. The reason why people all across the world want to become Americans is because of the opportunity that we have here. Restricting choice and opportunity is not good economic policy. Economic opportunity protects our freedom and democracy.

THE PREVAILING VIEWS

Many of the things our society believes or is cajoled to believe are not truly what each individual person follows. There are many societal and political constructs maintained by influencers like the media, political punditry, community activists and word of mouth ecosystems. Some of which is not helpful. There is an importance to know what is being message and why you accept or reject something.

OUR POLITICAL BRANDS

The state of a brand is not only judged by the actual results and performance, but also the perception around those results and narratives that exist. In the world of politics, there are really only 2 main brands and the big elections determine how the public views each. In 2024, the brands are in a much different state than what many would have thought and one may have done irreparable damage to itself.

THE POWER OF INCENTIVES

The one aspect of humanity many people overlook is that we all are influenced by rewards and punishments. Generally, people are averse to risk and negative outcomes. So, the behaviors and choices you reward are more likely to grow. Although people are shying away from negative reinforcement for bad behaviors, we must not completely fall down the slippery slope where bad behaviors is encouraged and society is sympathetic to the whims of the bad while overlooking the plight unfairly placed on victims.

THE FLOW OF INFORMATION

The most difficult part about watching what is generally regarded as mainstream media is the fact that you know that the content is curated and biased. There is an underlying position that they want to project and promote and the reporting is going to be crafted to fit that. Even in the morning news or local broadcast, they want to promote a construct of how you should view the subjects. Hard not to question what is being left out and what the whole picture really is. Because when you actually do basic research, you find out there is a lot missing that should be accounted for.

EMPOWER THE PEOPLE

Our American democracy is one that is intended to be built by the people, for the people, and of the people. Our system of government is not only hearing the voices, but also allowing people to be the deciders of their future, their outcomes, and their way of life. People drive our economy through their innovation and consumer behavior. People shape our communities and culture. We should let people choice their course in life and they must accept the outcomes.

WILDCARD WEEKEND

OUR FELLOW AMERICANS

There are many of our fellow Americans impacted by the wildfires in Los Angeles, California. Please keep all those impacted and all the people responding to the situation in your thoughts and prayers. Hopefully, it can be fully contained sooner than later.

While there are many reports of the celebrities impacted, I am sure that there are many average people not blessed with excess funds that are in need of help. If you are able to, please consider assisting those in need by visiting the Red Cross and other services.
