Where to start?!?!??! Like everyone else, I watch what the Trump Administration is doing not so much with surprise as with astonishment. Why anyone is surprised is puzzling. He’s doing what he said he would and what’s in the Project 25 document. And since the Supreme Court said he is above the law, he has no intention to abide by…
During the Covid shutdown in 2020 I was stuck home and writing almost every week. Now, not so often. We’ve been traveling a great deal. Now that I’m technically retired (I still spend a pretty fair amount of time on the Mathnasium businesses in which I am and investor with Jana and another partner) Debbie and I are traveling both…
I’m headed out of the country this coming week with Debbie and eventually meeting up with the kids for an extended trip so I won’t be writing again for a while. Before we depart, I am sending this one last message to you for the year. So much of what is going on now is causing a great deal of…
In the blog I sent shortly after the election I mentioned several reasons to not despair about the incoming Trump Administration. I mentioned that there would be Republican or Business support for continuing to implement the IRA, the EV $7,500 credit and to NOT “Drill Baby Drill”. Since then there have been several articles supporting what I said. Below is…
It’s hard to know where to start given the outcome of the election. That said, I think I’m just going to stay on message and report environmental news and my perspectives in this regard. While not unusual or surprising, climate change and the environment did not rise up to the top of issues that drove the decision of who to…
I was in Greece kayaking along the south shore of Crete and then visiting Santorini, Paros and Athens with Zack and Debbie when the back to back hurricanes Helene and Milton hit Florida and the SE US. We had a magical and fabulous time in warm, sometimes hot, but perfect weather. Meanwhile, so many people were suffering and some were…
I am going to follow two themes today. First, a series of headlines with links to the articles providing specifics about some consequences of global warming that we may not have been considering, or realized previously. Then, some others that reiterate topics that I have been following with you for some time. Secondly, I am going to cover the continuing…
For decades, I have been predicting the types of weather type repercussions that were going to happen that we are now seeing such as drought, fires, floods, hurricanes, excessive rain events, etc. These are happening so frequently every day that it is mind numbing. I’ve also tried to alert you to how all this is going to effect us in…
It’s been a while since my last post and I know I have been very irregular recently. As I’ve run into some of you, you bring this up. Not to worry. I’m fine. I’ve been traveling some and otherwise just enjoying the summer. And there hasn’t been a ton of pressing news to report that you aren’t seeing on your…
“A republic, if you can keep it.” –Benjamin Franklin’s response to Elizabeth Willing Powel’s question: “Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?” Being that this is Memorial Day weekend, I want to take a moment to reflect on this and recognize how fortunate we are that for almost 250 years Americans, and immigrants that were not…
