Weather Takes A Backseat

October 6th, 2008 · 1 Comment

It’s so wild the number of intense and far-reaching issues that have taken up news time lately. Just a little while ago we had a hurricane problem. Then a war with Russia possibly looming. And then at that point Sarah Palin took all the focus. What she experienced enough to become [...]

Product Shrinkage

April 28th, 2008 · No Comments

I heard about a thing with Cadbury Eggs, where they had gotten smaller this year. I figured it was because of the weakened U.S. dollar, and the slower economy. So my guess is that certain items, instead of increasing in price, will shrink in size.
This was evidenced at the store the other day. [...]

Microsoft + Yahoo, Delta + Northwest, Arby’s + Wendy’s!

April 25th, 2008 · No Comments

It’s time to merge. Fusion!!!
I guess since things are becoming tough, economically speaking, it makes a lot of sense to consolidate various businesses. When two companies come together in a good way, they are both stronger for it, and each can now better handle former weaknesses. Two heads are better than one.
In [...]

Big Oil And Deforestation Make Sense

April 8th, 2008 · No Comments

In a certain frame of mind.
I was wondering about the really rich guys high up in the food chain with million/billion dollar stakes in the Oil industry.
I realized that if you’re living in a selfish mindset, then it makes perfect sense to extend the reign of oil and pollution as long as possible.
Similarly, it makes [...]

Could Wealth Be Causing Economic Problems?

March 28th, 2008 · No Comments

I remember hearing a few years ago that at the height of the Dot Com frenzy, people were becoming millionaires overnight left and right. The basic idea was that a lot of people were getting rich really fast. So where does that leave the rest of us?
I guess you could look at it [...]

Some Predictions Are Coming True

March 5th, 2008 · No Comments

Looking back on what I’ve written over the months, it’s interesting to see that some of the issues I was hearing about in the media last year are still around, and have intensified. I think about the economy, and it seems like things are worse than they’ve been in a long time. Then [...]

Who Shot Mr. Burns And Big Oil

January 22nd, 2008 · No Comments

Recently Fox aired the first part to “The Simpsons’” “Who Shot Mr. Burns” cliffhanger saga. It obviously forces Mr. Burns down an aggressive and dangerous path merely for the sake of the plot, but his actions do seem in accord with the forces behind Big Oil.
First he steals oil from the elementary school, and [...]

Scammers Use “Go Green” To Attract Business?

December 4th, 2007 · No Comments

I guess a good rule of thumb in business is to stay fresh and up with the times. When a new catchphrase comes out, try to use it from time to time. I guess sometimes this idea can be abused.
On Random Waves of Insight, there’s a post called “Black Friday Goes Green:” The [...]

The “Green Reich”

November 30th, 2007 · No Comments

There’s a post at Misinterpreted.org about how Global Warming is spurring us to act, while Big Oil keeps our actions slow and steady. Apparently, the theory is that as long as we prolong the hybridization phase, and stave off total technological solutions, Big Oil will be happy. It makes more money that way, [...]

Oil: $200/Barrel Soon

November 20th, 2007 · 1 Comment

It seems like “it” is really happening. Oil prices are climbing higher and higher. Eventually there could be massive gas station crowding, long lines, and long waits.
It feels like there’s potential for things to smooth out, but now hearing about the rising cost of oil, it feels instead like we’re in the calm [...]
