For seeing points of view:

I believe we are about to become a “Retraining” economy. Everybody is trying to predict the next big career move for kids graduating from college – healthcare, data science, artificial intelligence – to name a few. But perhaps the real big opportunity will be teaching people how to keep pace with a rapidly changing employment landscape. So, let’s take artifact intelligence for example. When that gets roaring, what will be the most likely outcome? It will eliminate human jobs, and even entire industries, and it will do it over shorter and shorter time periods than ever before. The US economic world crashed for many when the so-called somewhat lower paying “Service Industry” mega business became the hot button for MBA’s. Now it’s getting to that point when service jobs have become a salary burden for Wall Street progress. Let’s be honest, in most cases it is the cost of people that dictates business model changes. AI will be accepted and people will need to look once again at career changing. And this phenomenon will occur at a more condensed rate over time. Retraining will become second nature to daily living, and restrainers will be in high demand.

From a friend: “Do not touch” must be one of the scariest things to read in braille.

The Supreme Court was entirely correct in supporting the baker from Colorado. The case was about freedom to practice religion, and in my estimation, stopping social network lynching’s.

From this culture observer’s point of views, factory cut-out knees on jeans is one of the all-time lamest fashion trends.

The Question:

What was the name of the author and the novel which was first to win a Pulitzer? Bonus: Who was the first astronaut to walk n space?

The way I see it, Mueller is just sitting back watching the White House change stories. Prosecutors love it when their targets have two or more stories for each suspicious scenario.

Isn’t it interesting how in America legal citizens are routinely called Nazis and racists, while illegal aliens are called dreamers.

Uh-oh, I think I have a problem. The Tids issue I send to myself yesterday wound up in “Spam”. They’re onto me. Check your spam.

Find your talent where you can and pursue it. An upholstery company in this state was essentially founded on the battlefields of WWII. The founder, a member of the 82^nd Airborne, learned to sew to save his life, mending parachutes. He mastered that talent to the point where he established one of the premiere businesses in that decorating industry. You never know what you have inside.

I’m playing golf these days like I’m getting ten bucks for every shot I take.

The “Pearls before Swine” comic strip proposes a new economic theory. Instead of big tax cuts for corporations that may trickle down, give the big break to the middle class and let it float up. They are calling it the Up Yours economy.

In the brief before the Supreme Court, several justices were upset by the statement of one Colorado commissioner, Hess, who said “Freedom of religion used to justify discrimination is a despicable piece of rhetoric.” Kennedy went on to imply he felt the comment demonstrated hostility against religions.

Coincidently, a week or so ago I received from a reader the following quote from William F. Buckley: "Liberals claim to want to give a hearing to other points of view, and are then shocked and offended when they discover there are other points of view." I wasn’t going to use it, and then I realized that was basically the essence of the Baker SC case.

Did you hear about the guy who planted bird seeds and within a few weeks had a garden sprouting birds? Now he doesn’t know what to feed them.

Baseless opinions become facts in this new era of rapidly disseminated hearsay journalism. You may have read opinions by Philly Eagles players Lane Johnson and Bradon Brooks stating with “Authority” that the new England Patriots’ players have no fun, and that it isn’t a good place to be a football player. The fact is that neither of those spokespersons for fun have ever been near any New England Patriots training session. Yet, intrepid news people race to the spotlight to condemn something based on nothing knowledgeable. It happens every day it seems in many fields.

Economic Volcano? Department:

50% of US home prices are considered overvalued. Car debt is piling up, as are repos. The stock market has daily “new highs”. I think we are peaking. Is boiling over next?

What if there were no hypothetical questions?

The Answer:

The first novel to win the Pulitzer was “His Family” by Ernest Poole in 1918. Next in 1919 was “The Magnificent Andersons” By Booth Tarkington. The three following that were “The Age of Innocence” by Edith Wharton , “Alice Adams” by Tarkington and “One of Ours” by Willa Cather. Other author winning in the 1920’a were Margaret Wilson, Edna Ferber, Sinclair Lewis (He declined the Prize), Louis Bromfield, Thornton Wilder and Julia Peterkin. Bonus: Edward White in 1968 left the orbiting space capsule for the first walk in space. I wonder what he was thinking as he moved the latch to open the hatch door.

I’m listening to you. I know you are human, as am I. We err. Do we understand?
