They all came Tumbling Down

When businesses are ran poorly, they fail. They can file bankruptcy and restructure or they can pay all debts and close the doors. Many people who close shop lost everything this last year.  Their house, cars, and savings. Some people will rebuild bigger and better than before. 

Right now thousands of small businesses have closed their doors permanently. The government didn't help. They argued for 10 months and then sent money overseas. 

The government did help banks in 2008. Those banks should have been allowed to fail and restructure. The only thing we got out of the bank bailouts was more regulations and more debt.

What is happening in the stock market is the same. These hedge funds who can't cover their margins, need to fail. The billionaires who have short sold businesses into despair for the sole purpose of making money had the tables turned this week. Government and big tech rushed in to save their billionaire friends. If we let them fail like they should, people in DC will see a lot less money in campaign donations. 

This is one strange topic that has brought a lot of people together. Let the lobbyist fall, let the hedge funds fall, and let a real free market work.  The fact that the SEC stepped in at all is wrong. 

People need to be held accountable for their actions. All people. 

Once again the government is picking winners and losers. They have been for decades. The difference is for now, we can see all this on social media. In real time. We didn't really have that in 2008 like we do now. 

Social media has been interfering in people's lives since day one. They interfere in businesses and now even elections. 

This is all happening while our government took less than a week to write articles of impeachment. Yet say it's too complicated to pass single bill legislation. 

It's time the government stops hiding behind fences and face the truth. The monsters they have created to protect their way of life, are about to devour them and we will watch it all on livestream.

You are a special kind of stupid aren't you?

     I started this post the other day and it was titled something else and decided to change it since people never cease to amaze me. I know a lot of people. They either worked with me, were one of my employees when I managed people, or friends and family.  I like to follow a wide variety of people on my twitter account.  I think it's important to get a well rounded idea of what people think and believe.      There are some horrific tragedies that have occurred in our country.   They are tragedies that we have seen in the past and will continue to see in the future.  We as Americans come together and support each other, we provide support, food, money, and a prayer.  All are important to the process of rebuilding their lives that have been destroyed.      Theordore Rosevelt was fond of the West African Proverb "Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far." Pretty good saying in my book. ...

Clean your Windshield

It’s that time of year where people will have the “new year, new me” phrase going strong. For many that will last about 2-3 weeks.  For others they will last well into mid-year. I am of the philosophy that you should make changes immediately in life. If you need to start eating healthier then go to the cupboard and fridge and throw out all unhealthy food. If you are going to stop drinking, throw out all your booze. (Rest a sure this will not happen in my house.) If you are going to start working harder on your livestock, turn off your phones and get to the barn. If you are going to sit back and re-evaluate your life while planning for new adventures, sit down and make a list. Every one of these goals requires you to clean your windshield to see what is ahead of you.  As we go down the highway of life we have a big broad windshield in front of us. We can see great distances and have great hopes of what I'd to come in our lives. In-order to see down that road, you must clea...

It is Just a Show

  In the beginning I was not a watcher or a fan. There was a lot of talk. Chatter online. Then I decided to tune and check out all the hype. There is cattle, ranching, horses, politics, drama, and suspense. This show was a creation from the mind of a very creative horse jockey. The story is well written, the acting is superb, and the raw attitude is what brings people back each week. This show hits an audience that is hungry for real talk, real action, and real results. The bad part is it is all fiction.  The show is full of wrong information. Actions that make no sense. Calves do not jump up and start running immediately after being born. Most cattle ranches don’t take their hands and shoot them off a cliff if their employment has ended. They don’t brand their workers for show of loyalty. The good news is it is all fiction.  The characters in the show are people you either love or hate. They are characters that bring a lot of talent to the show. These people come from ma...
