Why NOBODY Wants To Work Anymore

I've written a few books on moving to a more cooperative economy, taking employee-ownership to the next level, to include consumption, finance, housing, human services and cooperating on local infrastructure with other cooperatives.

The Future is Calling: It Wants a Better Job

Personal to Trump 47

Half the country thinks you are an idiot. If you had better staff, it would make you look good. You paid homage to your side, but you need to quit doing it. Call me if you want to be great in everyone's mind, not just your own.

Keep doing you. I can help you play to your strengths as a CEO in government, rather than the caricature of a CEO in government. It is good to have introverted feeling, introverted intuition and extraverted sensing. But you need to be aware that your extraverted thinking is not your strong suit. It does not have to be if you get the right people. Someone whose Extraverted Thinking and Extraverted Intuition will make you look Great. Not Good, Great. But you have to fire the people who let you play the fool so that people keep talking about you. At some point, bad publicity really is bad.

Call me when you are ready to quit looking bad. I was doing public policy before you met your first super-model. I will tell you how to move from tariffs to VAT and why that will work out for the nation. Do you want to start winning? Prove it. The Ways and Means and Finance Committees have my digits.

P.S. In this video, I detail how the COVID deaths were on what W.H.O and C.D.C. did wrong. Your only fault is that your staff was too busy making you look good rather than finding out what was being missed - which was their job and they failed at it.

DOGE Bright Shiny Object

DOGE could have been an opportunity to do basic reform, if it were well staffed with serious people. It is not. Getting civil servants back to the office is all optics, which is what is expected from CEOs rather than real experts. 

There are many problems with how business is done in the federal sector, but most of them have their roots in Congressional dysfunction. This appears to be off of DOGE's play list, so expect little. It is all we will get from DOGE.

Two bad options for John Roberts

Chief Justice Roberts has a choice to make (or not make). Jack Smith put him in the situation. He stated that the people chose to elect Trump and DOJ policy prevents him from prosecuting a sitting president - and it was not his job to prevent Trump from taking his seat.

Clearly, John Roberts could go along the same path, claiming that swearing in Donald Trump is a ministerial activity over which he has no discretion. 

Both took or will take the easy way out, but doing so is a break in their oath to protect the Constitution against, according to Smith's report, a domestic enemy of that document. 

If you frame the decision in terms of supporting democracy, Trump should be sworn in. If you frame it in terms of the rule of law, Trump cannot be sworn in. 

Saying something does not help me personally. Going along may yet give me a seat at the table, or at least in the chairs behind the people at the table, to point out certain things about the economy and tax policy - such as how inflation really works (prices follow the median dollar, not the median wage earner) or how to get control over the debt (switch form capital gains taxes to an asset value added tax). Even if I don't get credit for saying it, someone else will surely notice - either because they see it too or because they heard it from me.  I have gotten things done both ways.

Going along is safe, but is it true. At this point, it is up to Roberts. If he is going to say something, however, it should be this week rather than at noon on Monday. If anyone wants to bring this matter up, now is the time.

If you see something, say something.

No, Glenn. Read the 20th Amendment

John Roberts can stop Trump, no one else

Who decides whether a president is eligible for office. Congress certainly can on January 6th - but that is not the last possible moment. Anyone with standing can seek an injunction in the DC Federal District Court to stop Trump from being sworn in. Ultimately, it is up to Chief Justice John Roberts to decide if his constitutional oath to protect the Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic, includes not swearing Trump in. He can do so the very moment he is to swear in Trump, instead swearing in Vance under the provisions of the 20th Amendment. He could even notify the House Administration Committee of this issue, which would force them to require a 14th Amendment vote for the president-elect to be qualified. Regardless, there is no way that the electoral vote count can be used to elect Kamala Harris as President-elect. The key provision is 20, not 14.
