I think there is a lot we can learn by examining how people in the desert “harvest” water. Everyone likes to cite how rough it is in today’s economy, but it seems we often forget that times of crisis can also lead us to innovative breakthroughs and new ideas. Sometimes, we just need the proper perspective.
As I look forward, I can’t help but feel things will get worse before they get better. As such, I want to find ways to free myself from being dependent on others to live my …

I am currently looking to relocate for a job, and have had a hard time finding property that was exciting enough to inspire me to move. The funny thing is, I was looking at how property was being sold and have found the usual foreclosures in the area – something that is becoming more prevalent these days due to over inflating the value of homes with the ease of which loans were being assigned.
The real estate game is definitely part of the blame for the economic deflation we are going …

In the industry I am in, there seems to be little room for things if they are not perceived to be practical. That industry, being education, does not seem to be open to true innovation. That said, there are those in the “market” that want more. This has drawn me towards the idea of creating my own business. I am going to put together some ideas and resources in this article here to kind of get me started. Feel free to use it if you like and make comments on …

This is a concept that will take some time to develop. This post, of course, will be an evolutionary creature in that I will need time to grab various ideas and cobble them together. Yet, from the outset, this discussion must be built upon this simple argument: a federal bank, or a centralized bank, serves only to destroy the greater interests of the United States and its economy.
At its heart, at best well-intentioned, a centralized bank creates several issues. Here is the gist of why Andrew Jackson worked hard as …

Let’s face it, as we advance technologically, our privacy disappears. And in its stead we have a new version of discrimination – only this time it isn’t by a person or a group of people, but rather by a cold “unbiased” machine such as a computer linked to a data base.

Let’s face it, the economy sucks. And our government is not making it any better – which is incidentally exactly what the government’s job should be when meddling with the economy: to screw it up.
Now, I am all for a level playing field and ensuring that rules are in place to allow for fair competition. But I am also for giving an advantage to the home team – and our economy has been failing miserably in this regard for well over a decade now (so no, Barack, this is not …

Just more proof that the idea of ethanol as a fuel source is stupid.
For those of you out there thinking that ethanol is the answer to our rising gas prices, there are several fundamental things you need to be made aware of.
First of all, check out the commodities market. If I understand this correctly, you can buy barrels of oil to invest in. What happens then is that barrel you purchased is taken off the market and not used for consumption. With the rise in prices for barrels of oil, …

Is it no wonder why we are in the midst of a huge economic crisis? Of course, no one is really talking about it either. But read this:
“Free trade…invites the product of cheaper labor to this market to destroy the domestic product representing our high and better paid labor. It destroys our factories or reduces our labor to the level of his [foreign markets]. It increases foreign production but diminishes home production…Open competition between high paid American labor and poorly paid ____ labor will either drive out of existence American …

This is something that needs to be studied very closely in this day and age, and something which I am going to be thinking about and discussing here on the site.
It is about the future and the present, and the state of the United States at this time. Our country, as I do very much consider myself an American, is changing. Now, this is not necessarily good or bad, as such a perspective can only be reserved for those who have all the facts – and that falls into two …
