Which is Dying? Globalism or Corporatism?

Corporatism. See you guys Wednesday… You’re kinda addicted to the detail thing, aren’t you? Oh well, can’t accuse me of burying the lead. So, here goes: Like every good little political scientist, we start with definitions. Since I’m a cranky old political scientist, we skip all the boring stuff and just hit the highlights. When I am talking about globalism I’m just talking about the economic version. The political version is probably not nearly as long for this world as … Continue reading “Which is Dying?

Systemic Racism is Only in One System: Elitism

Racism: Idiotically hating someone for their skin color. Systemic Racism: Idiotically listening to someone with an Ivy League degree. “Human sacrifice! Dogs and cats living together! Mass hysteria!” Somehow, none of us believed Venkman was predicting the future when he was ranting in Ghostbusters, but here we are. Comedically Orwellian didn’t seem like it would ever be a thing way back in ancient times – you know, the ’80s. Has anyone else noticed that any time rationality gets in the … Continue reading “Systemic Racism is Only in One System: Elitism”

Dear Ivy League, America isn’t Racist. You Are.

Seriously, $450,000 a year is a lot to make for simply surviving four years of sorority life. How many of those loyal Bud customers can afford a place overlooking Central Park? Their hard earned money purchasing billions upon billions of cans of an arguably subpar light beer paid for that lifestyle. $450,000 a year is $450,000 more than any sane company would have paid to have their cash cow sacrificed on the altar of Woke. But nowadays, CEOs have Ivy … Continue reading “Dear Ivy League, America isn’t Racist. You Are.”

Dear Disney, Southeast Asia Isn’t Racist. You Are.

In a surprise to no one with a pulse, Disney’s race swapping, live action klunker of a movie has sunk. The Little Mermaid, a purported remake of the great animated classic, has tanked at the box office. Golly, who’da thunk? I mean, besides every fan of the original and all the Disney observers that have been screaming into the void. But they’re all just American conservatives who hate creepy computer animated fish. Disney, in its infinite lack of wisdom, knew … Continue reading “Dear Disney, Southeast Asia Isn’t Racist. You Are.”

Is Russia Having a Civil War?

Probably. Don’t know if it matters yet. Boy, you people are detail junkies, aren’t you? I share Jake Broe‘s opinion that we’re seeing a civil war within Russia. Don’t get all excited. Civil war just means a nation-state is having an internal conflict with significant potential to do damage to the regime. The key word is potential. Just because Russia is having an internal dust up doesn’t mean Putin is out of a job. Not yet, anyway. We get all … Continue reading “Is Russia Having a Civil War?”

Be Customer Free! Go ESG!

Wake UP Corporate America! Letting bankers and bigots manage your marketing is a one way trip to bankruptcy. Stop blaming the victims. Your loyal customers have been putting up with asinine marketing for decades. Do you ever see sales go up for Black History Month or ‘Pride’ anything? Niche, sure, but general sales figures? Probably not. Memorial Day and Fourth of July? Marked uptick in anything patriotic or that can be slammed on a BBQ grill, amiright? Your customers have … Continue reading “Be Customer Free! Go ESG!”

Why are we Still Using the Wheel in 2023?

It’s the 21st Century! We’re supposed to be driving flying cars and walking our pet robots. Out with the old, in with the new! I hear this stuff a lot. One of my favorite YouTube creators was irate that he had to confirm his identity with a – gasp – mail in card. It’s the 21st Century! Why can’t we just hop on a Zoom call? He had a point because he had a slew of videos to compare to … Continue reading “Why are we Still Using the Wheel in 2023?”

Can Anheuser Busch go Broke?

Yes. Oh come on, this one is obvious! Okay, okay, so why do you think that a company can’t go broke? Too big to fail is a myth. Try again. Only 25% of their sales were lost is better, but how healthy were their finances beforehand? Expenses are a thing for any business and a lot of very large businesses are floating up to their eyeballs in debt. It doesn’t take much of a loss in sales to sink a … Continue reading “Can Anheuser Busch go Broke?”

You Can’t Come to the Peace Table Empty Handed

It amazes me how dumb young people can be. Mostly because I realize I must have been a moron when I was their age. I always thought the brain grew in around age 25. Now I’m beginning to wonder if any one under forty has one. Yeah, yeah, cranky old lady is being unfair. But I keep seeing the same stupid thing and from my own side of the street. Usually we expect the inane from the Left but the … Continue reading “You Can’t Come to the Peace Table Empty Handed”

Deep State and Cancel Culture: Is a Day of Reckoning Coming?

Yes, what a silly question. You want details again, don’t you? One of the most common and stupidest arguments commonly made for the NarrativeTM is that the public is some amorphous giant imbecile that can’t really handle the TruthTM. I swear, I think Washington gets Hollywood’s rejects to do their writing sometimes. Regardless, it’s moronic. I can prove it. You, yes you, You know who you are, reading, listening or watching this commentary. If I told you that there was … Continue reading “Deep State and Cancel Culture: Is a Day of Reckoning Coming?”
