I’d love to go on a long rant about the new tariffs America intends to impose, but a big winter storm is approaching and being prepared for that is likely the more important task. Yes I am aware a much bigger looming economic storm on the horizon. I’ve been a “doomer” a while so I’ve […]

It would be helpful for most media readers to understand the history of the news business and its relationship to war and finance.

I founded and sold some startups. I helped my friends with their startups. We invested in each other. Because startups are primarily about teamwork […]
