The disparity of political partisanship has seemingly reached a boiling point in the United States; though, it is truly unjustified. Continue reading “Taxation, Land, and Pareto”

Data Dollars
The idea of getting something for free has begun to trickle into our daily lives via technology. We can scour the app store to download free versions of games and prog
rams. We can peruse the internet at our leisure clicking through sources of information without so much as paying a penny (especially if we surf the web at the library). We can communicate with individuals via email, Facebook, Twitter, and the like from across the globe with near instant connectivity without cost. Continue reading “Data Dollars”
The Folly of Anti-Price Discrimination
We are taught throughout life the evils of discrimination (rightfully so I must add); however, the social construct of discrimination has led us to see the idea as wrongful in all senses of the word.

Seeking Perfection
Perfection is to life as comfort is to transatlantic economy class; literally impossible. Without perfection, there are always arguments to make, always fights to pick, and always complaints to be had. Though we consciously admit there is never a perfect solution, we still, time and time again, strive for the ridiculousness of perfection. >
How to Achieve Your 2017 Resolutions:
If the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over while expecting different results, then why do we bother setting New Years resolutions (NYRs)? USA Today estimates that 80% of NYRs fail while Forbes magazine and New York Magazine both estimate a bleaker 92% failure rate within the calendar year. The failure is not only unsurprising, but is preventable!
John Maxwell and Big Brother
I just concluded rereading George Orwell’s grim novel 1984. The book painted a bleak picture of our future; however, such a future filled with “Big Brother,” “Thought Police,” and criminalization of nearly everything we enjoy, never came to exist (and I will venture to guess that it never will). Thought the fictitious world will remain fiction, one pillar of the made-up governmental structure remains terrifying to me: “Ignorance is Strength.”
I Can’t Wait Until Thursday
We all know that in 48 hours millions of Americans will head to the polls to elect our next President. We all know this election is important. We all know this election boils down to choosing polar opposites. We all know that our country is divided. However, with all of this knowledge, I am guessing that many Americans feel how I do, we all can’t wait for Thursday, November 10th.
Are We One?
The 2016 election season has been one of the most unpredictable rollercoasters in the history of our nation’s politics. However, on November 8, 2016, the craziness comes to an abrupt halt as voters head to the polls and finalize their decisions about who will lead our country. America, a beacon of hope for millions across the globe, is going to be placed on two radically different tracks depending on the outcome of the presidential election. However, as America decides who will lead, we must ask the question: will the rest follow? Continue reading “Are We One?”
Comfort Killer
I am the comfort killer. I sleep very little. I work out to the point of being sick to my stomach. I push myself to do things I hate. I take cold or lukewarm showers. I read books that are agonizingly slow and are sometimes less exciting than watching paint dry. I assure you I am not a masochist or Sysphean. However, many of you are probably wondering, “what the hell is wrong with you?”
FOMC Impact
What if there was a way for investors to not only know a specific day in which stock prices will be moving, but the exact minute? What if that stock movement occurred on a set, predictable, and even published, schedule? You will really dislike hearing that this movement in equity prices has already occurred five times this year, and will happen at least three more.
