Things I Think About

"Get Woke, Go Broke" (aka "Go Woke. Go Broke.") is a phrase coined by the internationally bestselling author John Ringo to express the opinion that when organizations “get woke” to politically correct actions, those same actions usually result in a massive loss of income. There are a LOT, and I mean a LOT, of companies that have fallen into this trap and yet they proliferate ad nauseum. In this episode, I share several examples of a lesson that some companies are refusing to learn. Enjoy and pass it on! Please and thank you in advance.

What is critical race theory? It is a movement to make racism socially acceptable. Critical race theory supports the logic that all whites are born racists and oppressors by nature. They are to be viewed as a collective threat to non-white people and beyond redemption. This sentiment is already infecting the American workplace via racial sensitivity and diversity trainings. Despite the obvious controversy, such trainings are being accepted as just and fair and at an alarming pace across Corporate America. At best, critical race theory is counterproductive and at worst it destroys the fabric of society by prohibiting community. To apply its tenets to the workplace is to commission a slow rot to your enterprise. In this episode, I give 4 reasons why companies should ban critical race theory from its workplace.

A big thank you to my readers who keep me sending me interesting breadcrumbs to follow online because they lead to my more interesting rants. The latest curiosity presented to me was the Trusted News Initiative (TNI). Who are they? I had no idea before today, but now I wish I knew less about this radical bunch motivated by hubris. Tune in for the details of a powerful group dedicated to censorship for the greater good.

The reference to the “mark of the beast” comes up often in tech forums, especially in relation to biometrics. Now I had heard of the possibility of digital tattoos a while ago but did not think we were close to anything resembling the “mark of the beast” mentioned in the book of Revelations. That is, until I did some research and oh, boy! What I discovered made my jaw drop. So much so, I decided to produce this episode commercial free. Stay tuned for what will be streams of conscious thoughts and speculation which I hope will make you think as well.

Racism is never right, no matter the origin. Black people can be just as racist, if not more so, as the white people they complain about. Ironically, that type of racism is acceptable in the mainstream. I discuss the phenomenon in this episode.

Here's a quote from the NY Post, "As protests broke out across the country in the name of Black Lives Matter, the group’s co-founder went on a real estate buying binge, snagging four high-end homes for $3.2 million in the US alone, according to property records." When this inconvenient fact hit the tabloids there were accusations of fraud and calls for an investigation into her finances by one of the BLM leaders. As shocking as this all is (I'm shocked. #sarcasm), this news will not hit the critical mass that it should. Indeed, it will all be forgotten and in the very near future. I'll explain why in this episode.

To quote Washington Examiner, "According to the latest Rasmussen Reports survey, this one on the George Floyd murder trial of a white Minneapolis police officer, 40% of likely voters said race relations have deteriorated under Biden. About 3% of respondents said they see no change, and 22% said they are better."

When I read that I wondered how race relations are measured in our country. Typically, there is a survey or poll of some kind, followed by opinion. It occurred to me that if someone really wanted to know the state of race relations in the USA, three data points would be undeniable: the rate of interracial marriages, interracial families and the rate of interracial adoption. What better measures could there be of total acceptance than that? I think it would be hard to find a more convincing argument. In this episode, I share stats on what I found.

What happens when a city decides not to prosecute crimes? Specifically, crimes like drug possession, prostitution and defecating in public? Chances are people will stop calling the police since they know help will not be forthcoming. So, when 911 calls go down is that really proof that not prosecuting those crimes is resulting in less crimes. Umm... NO! But, that won't stop cities like Baltimore and Los Angeles from doing it. Tune in to hear me rant on the issue.
