Undeniably Right

Too much, too little or not at all?

There is so much going on in our world that every now and then I feel like a random thoughts and observations column can at least touch on a few of the things that we can't get to in our daily lives or for me, on the radio show.

Lisa Cook was fired from her position as a member of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve. In addition to what are now normal claims of racism, the left wing believes the president does not have the authority to remove a member of the Board of Governors. Despite the fact that there is this pesky little thing known as law. The relevant statute gives the chief executive the authority to remove a member for cause. Ms. Cook now has three investigations into separate claims of mortgage fraud. Neither charges nor a conviction is required for the president to have cause.

What happened to Bud Light and IHOP is being taught in textbooks handed out to college students in business classes. Both brands tried to reinvent themselves. Bud Light was the most widely consumed beer in the United States, and it wasn't even close. IHOP was one of the leading breakfast restaurants but decided to rebrand themselves as a burger joint. Bu Llight now barely registers sales that would put it in the top 10 beers consumed by Americans. And let's not get started about Jaguar.

This should be interesting!

I heard a new commercial on the radio for Skechers sneakers. These particular sneakers are for kids but the commercial definitely targets parents. What sets these sneakers apart from others is a hidden compartment underneath the insole of the shoe. Parents could put an Apple air tag into that compartment. If you don't know what an air tag is, it's a device that allows you to track the location of whatever the air tag is attached to. A lot of people like to use it for their luggage.

The clear implication is that you can now track your child's location if they get separated from you or maybe if they are playing in the neighborhood and don't come home at the right time. It's not a bad idea. In fact it seems like a pretty smart marketing campaign.

Good question. Let's find out.

Left-leaning intellectuals and politicians who sometimes believe they are one and the same, like to tell you that poverty is a moral issue. I'm not sure how morality will solve the problem, but they seem to equate morality with spending government money on handouts. It also makes the assumption that the rest of us are an immoral people and don't really care about our fellow human beings.

The simple truth is that from the beginning of time, mankind lived in abject poverty. Our entire existence consisted of trying to find food and shelter. It often meant that we followed food sources as they migrated to follow their food sources. But interestingly, at some point some segments of the human race figured out how to get out of poverty.

I wonder why?
