Yeah, normally I'm more reserved but arrogance and total disregard for the traveling public by the TSA just gets my Irish up.

According to Bart Johnson, who leads security for the TSA, travelers should prepare for longer wait times and more extensive screenings as summer gets into full swing.

My question: Why? If you know travel is anticipated to incease by 10% why wouldn't you staff up accordingly? Open up overtime or improve the efficiency of your screening processes to ensure the traveler (the customer) isn't inconvenienced? That's what any private company would do. They would have to otherwise the airport would fire them and hire another firm.

Instead, Bart has the balls to suggest "thanking and acknowledging the tough job TSA officers have will go along way in bringing down stress levels."

Are you kidding me! If you're trying to check out of the supermarket and they've only got 2 of 10 checkout lines open do you ever hear the manager come out and say, "You know, acknowledging the tough job our checkers do will go a long way to reducing stress levels."

No!! And you want to know why? Because people would respond with "F$*K YOU!! I've got a family waiting at home and dinner to get on the table. Get another checkout line open or next time I'll take my business down the street."

That's the problem with government monopolies. The incentive structure is completely messed up.

So much to talk about today. I'm excited!

First, I had an interesting ride back from the airport last night. It was the first time I'd taken a cab in years. It should come as no surprise that the experience was less than satisfying.

Then, wouldn't you know it, I see an article today talking about how terrible Uber and Lyft are and how they are destroying the once proud an noble profession of taxi cab driver.

I want to set the story straight and today I will

****A group of researches recently went before members of a congressional subcommittee to explain how marketing in the digital age is destroying "legitimate" news.

This group claims to be an expert on both analog and digital marketing but reading their statement proves they are nothing but political hacks who either know nothing about the history of marketing or (and more likely) are simply there to push a political agenda.

****Finally, Trump has decided we need a 'space force' to protect Americans from what I can only assume is the coming space wars.

Apparently, we haven't seen enough war hear on earth. We now need to spread it into the cosmos. God help us all.

I'm traveling today so I thought I'd give you a taste of the new success podcast I'm thinking about starting. These are shorter episodes that deal with the hurdles and emotional struggles we deal with on our way to finding success in life, business, relationships, and fitness.

My hope is that you will find inspiration in the ideas I put forward.

If you like the show please let me know. I'm anxious to hear some feedback.

Thanks,

Jason

Yes I know it's still a long shot but the question is now before the voters. If Californians decide in favor of the proposal it will start a long and contentious battle to split up the state.

****Should transgender athletes be allowed to compete against the sex of their choosing? There are a lot of people who say yes. I think you can look at it one of two ways. You can either segregate the sexes allowing for more equal competition and thus entertaining competition or you can put everyone together and let the best person win.

Both have their advantages but what I don't think you can do is let men compete in a segregated contest against women no matter what sex they identify with.

****Finally, 50% of millennials think they will end up millionaires. Statistically, we know only about 3-5% of them will ever achieve that goal so is it a good thing or a bad thing for them to have such unreasonable expectations?

Find out today!

We are always talking about how private citizens and companies need to provide for the less fortunate. We disagree with the notion that the government has a responsibility to provide for the poor and the indigent. "Taxation is Theft!" we cry.

But a recent experiment by Panera Bread to offer free food to anyone in need failed miserably. It was a concoction of capitalism and charity that was doomed from the beginning.

The question is why?

Today we'll dive into the specifics and I'll do my best to show where the failures were and how you could make it work.
