How to tell if you’re a mindless partisan

November 22, 2019 by Joe

“Would a person who identifies themselves as “progressive” be more likely or less likely to agree with someone, if that someone was the host of a Fox News show? Most likely, they’d have their mind made up already when they turned on the channel.”

January 31, 2018 by Joe

What is the cost of a bad hiring decision?

Cost of bad hiring

Does increasing the minimum wage work in the long term?

December 22, 2017 by Joe

economy, minimum wage

”

So, if you bring lower wage jobs into the same wage range as other middle-class jobs, does that mean that the two groups are now in competition with each other?  Does this mean that qualifications and standards for employment in those once low-paying jobs will go up too?”

About Me:

A little about me…I’m Joe. I like to learn, and I’m interested in just about anything.

You can usually find me outside- Maybe fishing on a lake or beach, hiking with my dogs, camping in the woods, or trying to sail.

Or, trying to learn a language (mostly unsuccessfully) or reading about who-knows-what.  Quite often, you’ll find me out working on the car or building something in the garage.

Read on…hopefully you’ll find something here that interests you.
