Getting Started

I’ve worked in a few situations where an outside consultant who purports to know more about your job than you comes in and makes everyone prove their value. It has never improved our output or efficiency and has ended catastrophically each time.

Republican lunatics and small government types haven’t been adequately sold on the value of public programs. Foreign aid shores up world stability and ensures we have some sway in inching things toward the values we profess. It’s so much cheaper than war.

I worked on a USAID project once. It was a tech incubator for Ugandan, Rwandan, and Kenyan girls, many of whom have no hope of economic mobility or even what we would consider a humane existence on this planet. It was inspiring work and cool to see the positive impact the US can have on the world.

In the last 24 hours, I have broken two (2) irreplaceable Tart Bryan frames from the 1960s. Good times.

People who are mad because they got pardoned for being insane is a very unexpected news story.

It’s interesting that in a group of some of the world’s wealthiest people, each has to act out to confirm their own specialness. One lady wore a bra, another a Hamburglar costume. One man did a nazi salute twice. And another refused to swear on his favorite book.

I miss the old internet. Trying to do this thing and it not be a non-stop lefty outrage machine. We’ll see.
