Demand Diversity

While companies are struggling to diversify their ranks, it now appears the feds have the same problem. Diversity without inclusion damages a company’s performance. The way to build inclusion is to alter how we all respond to people who seem different.

Being around folks who are different makes us more creative, extra diligent and harder-working.

This past weekend's baseball brawl reminded me of the need for civility in sports, or just plain AMERICAN CIVILITY. Our nation's favorite pastime should be RESPECT for one another's rights.

Forgotten Revolution?

Submitted by ub on

The Peoples Republic of China keeps trying to forget its Cultural Revolution. Today marks the 50th anniversary of the day Mao Zedong issued the order that began China's Cultural Revolution.

This was a ten-year period of violence and chaos when more than 1 million who were perceived to be counterrevolutionaries were imprisoned, killed or committed suicide and the economy was left in a shambles.

The hurricane season begins 6/1/16 and ends 11/30/16. Is your mitigation and if that fails, a disaster response strategy in place? If you've experienced a hurricane, then you know why I am posting this.

Hurricane season officially starts next week for storms that form in the eastern Pacific Ocean, but more notably, it's also the start of Hurricane Awareness Week. The National Weather Service says is the best time to prepare for a potential hit from a tropical storm or hurricane.

Today above all other days is the time to issue the following warning. Be afraid, be very afraid.

For example, according to scientific studies Friday 13th is unlucky for some. The risk of hospital admission as a result of a transport accident may be increased by as much as 52 percent.

Wrong Restroom?

Gender neutral signs posted outside bathrooms flushes out debate over transgender toilet access, as the issue spreads nationwide.

The feds are telling schools to let transgender students use bathrooms and locker rooms that are "consistent with their gender identity." This does not wipe out other laws, but since Title IX is seated into federal education funding, the implied threat is to follow the federal guidelines or risk losing those funds.

The Roaming Empire?

Submitted by ub on

GOP conservatives, who we will call Ceasar and Defiant Donald, who we will call Brutus continue their flip flop danceathon. Around and round they go. When the music will stop, nobody knows.

Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears;
I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him.
The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with their bones;
So let it be with Caesar. The noble Brutus
Hath told you Caesar was ambitious:
If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
And grievously hath Caesar answered it.

US NATIONAL DEBT

Submitted by ub on

United States' national debt is the amount owed by the federal government of the United States. The measure of the public debt is the value of the outstanding federal securities at a point of time that have been issued by the Treasury and other federal government agencies.

Neither one of the politicians who have announced their candidacy for the nation's top position has been willing to say how they will solve the national debt.

According to Congressional Budget Office projections, a $534 billion deficit for 2016 is $100 billion more than in 2015.

Accentuating Negatives

Submitted by ub on

Whatever happened on political platforms and talking about issues? Instead, we hear taunts and insults for The White House race.

This camp pain has been vulgar, vile and perhaps we need to sugar coat it a bit, What do Clinton's affairs have to do with the pressing issues facing this country today? Instead of traveling up the information superhighway, politicians have chosen to stay down in the gutter.
