It’s early November, and so an event almost as exciting as the Super Bowl is taking place-elections for our federal representatives and local leaders! In the spirit of fostering a good conversation about our candidates, I thought it would be fun to do a quick look at a handful of those running and aContinue reading “Election Time!

Election Time! Senator Edition
It’s early November, and so an event almost as exciting as the Super Bowl is taking place-elections for our federal representatives and local leaders! In the spirit of fostering a good conversation about our candidates, I thought it would be fun to do a quick look at a handful of those running and aContinue reading “Election Time! Senator Edition”
We Need to Silence “Quiet Quitters”
Bang! You’ve slammed your laptop shut and already grabbed your bag. You are shutting off your work phone as you make your way out the office. This afternoon, you might beat your personal record, and be in your car just two minutes after your day ended. You had a full day of doing theContinue reading “We Need to Silence “Quiet Quitters””
Capitalism is Green Living
Yvon Chouinard is a name I was not familiar with at all until the last day or two. I was more aware of his brand Patagonia, though if I recall correctly I’ve never been a customer. However, the recent news regarding the future of the company is very interesting and exciting. It wasContinue reading “Capitalism is Green Living”
Avoiding Energy Crises
We all know the concept of self-sufficiency, and practice it to varying levels of intensity. This concept stretches from our home life and career to our governments. While our government has made a recent step to ensure our self-sufficiency, the folks across the Atlantic are feeling the pain of not preparing properly. We canContinue reading “Avoiding Energy Crises”
More Big Band-Aids
The White House announced President Biden’s new student loan relief plan on August 24. This plan is designed as a three-part plan to alleviate the outstanding student debt across the country. Off the bat, it seems either poorly designed or on track to have negative effects. Get your mental seatbelt on and let’s takeContinue reading “More Big Band-Aids”
We Demand LESS
Each and every day, I feel that the Mayans did predict the end of the world back in December 2012. It was not a physical end, but an end to rules, logic, sanity, and reason. Since the end, we continue to deteriorate and live in this world of make-believe and new science. I amContinue reading “We Demand LESS”
Poor Protests
In the wake of the SCOTUS decision over-turning Roe v. Wade, there were (predictably) protests all over. Just like always, these protests were done poorly and for the wrong reasons. Naturally there were folks on both sides of the protests that make them look like fools and take away from their credibility. Sounds likeContinue reading “Poor Protests “
Life, Love, and Legal Logistics
FINALLY something new and interesting to write about: the rat in the Supreme Court leaking a draft decision regarding Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey. Of course, abortion is a hot topic and will always be amongst us. Will the Supreme Court roll back Roe and Casey or are we simply gettingContinue reading “Life, Love, and Legal Logistics”
Don’t Say Gay
We can always count on Florida to keep things interesting when the media runs out of new stuff to print. The state’s latest contribution is the “Don’t Say Gay” bill which was passed earlier this month. Some people have taken offense to the bill, leading to actions such as walkouts from some employees ofContinue reading “Don’t Say Gay”
