In today’s economic and political climate, protecting yourself means asking the right questions. You can’t ask the right questions if your mind’s encumbered. We’ve burdened government with all our problems but do they have the capacity to solve them? Do we want them to? What’s the difference between freedom “of” and freedom “from” and why’s it important? Why is this one of the most important questions you can ask? I’m putting out an APB for critical thinking skills. We need these skills at this important juncture in our nation’s history. Is our political division a permanent condition? What’s the one thing we all have in common? Information isn’t lacking these days, which is why our ability to sift purposefully through it is critical. Prepare to meet the future. It always arrives sooner than expected. Are you ready? |

Chandler Scott returns in book 3 of the series, Division. He teams up with an unexpected foe to right the listing ship known as the United States of America. The sinister revelation in his documentary unleashed a torrent of both anger and support for the president. America is a country tearing at the seams. Spending time with his love and hoping to be just a spectator in a convention deciding the future of the republic, Chandler is thrust into plots threatening to undermine the Executive branch of government and ultimately the entire country. Along the way, he must be a bridge between groups on opposite sides of the political spectrum — groups whose help he needs. His mentors also lend a hand, though they bring him unexpected news. The frenetic pace of events only heightens Chandler’s doubts about what is real and what is not. Can he overcome his doubts and save the country? |

After what seemed like a bad dream, the country woke up to find themselves in the Financial Land of Oz. The housing market cratered, stocks fell, and once venerable financial institutions were on life support. The economy struggled. The Wizards provided massive fiscal and monetary intervention. The economy recovered, but not for everyone. The social fabric began to tear. The dominant theme of the next decade will be the intersection of politics and economics. Economies naturally experience cyclic behavior though our financial system exacerbates the effect. A healthy economy and societal accord go hand in hand. We need to understand how we got here and how we will emerge.

Post-COVID America
@[Harry Goldstein](user:15520) I used the term in an article two years ago when I predicted the end of the financial bubble. Since then, I've consistently used the term in hashtags and other articles. Here's the article where I first referenced it....seekingalpha.com/article/4203745-end-of-omnibubble
Thanks for commenting.

And that worry is part of what I noted will hamper recovery. Thanks for commenting and reading.

Good one!
2020 Election - Too Early To Predict Winner?
One thing to consider with impeachment is that the Dems leading the charge with it are one side of that struggle within the party, think of the old, established segment (Pelosi, Schiff, Schumer etc.). This group was separate of the Progressive wing. The other side are the Progressives I noted. While they supported the impeachment also, they weren't at the forefront, so they're less "stained" if you will by what happened.

Thanks Adam.
Uber, Taxis And The Omnibubble
Wendell,
The purpose of the article was to show how expansive the Omnibubble can be, in this case, even in the world of taxis. My sense is there are some who don't know that a medallion is required (certainly not at $1M) to operate a cab. Those that don't know would question why someone would spend such amounts to operate a cab. That's the rational response, which is why bubbles form in the first place — those that aren't in the bubble (outside of NYC cabbies) aren't part of that herding.
Also, in the article I said, "I'm not claiming first use of this term though I've been consistent in its usage in many posts and articles since September 2018."
Thanks for your commentary!
